Before graduating from the School of Computing & Engineering, every student is required to complete a Senior Design Project. This culmination of their time at Quinnipiac incorporates real clients and problems and simulates a project that they might encounter the first day on the job.
Projects Day is designed to showcase and celebrate our students’ hard work and achievements from real-world projects completed during the spring semester. Mentored by professionals in the industry, students assemble into design teams, choose topics and bring their ideas to life.
The goal of the project is to develop an Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) application for students in the School of Nursing to practice simulation labs. This application offers responsive updates in real-time where instructors and administrators can provide provider orders and lab results during a simulation. Nursing students and instructors can input patient information based on their simulation. Instructors and administrators will be able to build and update the patient information. From patient information given in real-time, such as patient history, medication and daily living records, the application is designed to help students practice documenting patient care, work on their clinical skills and prepare for real-world scenarios.
