Description
Our Idea: As a team of engineers, two in the engineering field and one in computer
science and software development, we wanted to find a way to put these skills to use in our
company. As we did not have a revolutionary idea to build our own product, we wanted to base our company on the assumption that people have great ideas and lack the ability to execute on these ideas. Our mission is to enable these people and companies to make their ideas a reality, and allow them to go to market with a clean and user friendly product. We are using our skills and experience in hardware and device prototyping and testing, as well as software design and development to make this happen.
Implementation: To this point, we have been working with a client building a human diagnostic and enhancement AI device. We have been consulting on mostly the design and creation of their first proof of concept, working on hardware and sensor interaction as well as developing the software allowing their platform to come to life. We have been working closely with the leaders of the company, who have the ideas and business knowledge, while we focus on the technology side. As for the scalability and market potential of our business, we believe that the potential market is not the limiting factor. Instead, the limiting factor to the growth of our business is the time we have to devote. We are currently only working with one client, and not looking to expand into new clients. We believe this would require the addition of new team members, but instead we are happy with the progress we are making at the moment. We believe we are not only building equity in business we believe in, but also building a product that could help the safety and wellness of our users.

Description
This project examines entry-level processors for Company X. Analyzing their current position and creating recommendations for their future positioning in regard to entry-level processors. Utilizing financial models, our group worked to determine the most effective way to optimize NPV and gross margin for this segment. With extensive step models and sensitivity analysis, we analyzed potential paths that Company X could take. Continuing to be mindful of the limitations that certain projected paths would entail. Through our analysis, we were able to form a comprehensive suggestion that had a positive 8-year NPV and an improved gross margin percentage.

Description
The aim of this thesis is to explore and understand how cultural, socio-economic, and political factors intersect to influence and affect societal happiness. We examine this by exploring the discrepancies that exist between the world’s happiest country, Finland, and the world’s 15th happiest nation, the United States. Through our explanation, we find that the cultural differences in nations is the implicit key to success in happiness. More specifically, the differences between femininity, experienced in the Nordic region, and masculinity, experienced in the United States. Social, economic, and political factors are in large part a result of the underlying culture. We see the nuanced ways in which cultural orientations shape social structures and policies which directly impact a society’s well-being. In analysis of the World Happiness Report, we acknowledge the multifaceted nature of happiness metrics, highlighting the importance of inclusive policy-making and responsive governance. Amidst its growing popularity the topic of societal happiness is growing in attention from both the public and policymakers. A collective pursuit of happiness emerges despite the cultural diversity prevalent throughout the world. By examining these complex relationships, we look to offer insight that helps create a deeper understanding of the complex relationship that exists between culture and societal happiness and well-being.
