Food Pantry Tracking System For Community Health Outreach
Students: John Fitzgerald, Robert Goodman, Scot Hancock, and Nolan Wagner
Community Partner: Community Health Outreach
Industry Mentor: Mike Potts from feature[23]
The Community Health Outreach food pantry has two locations in Jacksonville. Clients are allowed a maximum of 12 visits per year and may not receive food more than once in a seven day period. This information is tracked utilizing an excel spreadsheet on Sharepoint. This format is challenging for many of the volunteers who are elderly and often the data is altered unknowingly. Students developed a Web application system that can be accessed from multiple locations, and track client information and dates of visit. Volunteer users were provided read-only status to view client information and make only required data entries thereby minimizing client data corruption. Admin users were provided ability to manage client information and generate pre-built reports.
Features:
- The system is password protected and accessible via the web.
- Ability to manage client information
- Displays uneditable by the general information for volunteers, but editable information for administrators.
- Ability to run reports on client data and food pantry allotted.

The Way Free Medical Clinic Volunteer Management System
Students: Sean Boyle, Daneel Leith, Paul Lopera, and Bradley Pressnalle
Community Partner: The Way Free Medical Clinic
Industry Mentor: Ernest Mombay from Life Specialty and Ventures
The Way Free Medical Clinic wants to manage volunteer data in an electronic system which would allow all paperwork and data to be permanently stored in a paperless system. The problem faced by the clinic was keeping track of volunteer time which was being documented using paper time sheets. Every week, clinic staffs would spend considerable amount of time entering the information from the sign in sheet to excel and generate reports required by sponsors. Students developed a web-based system to manage volunteer demographic information and ability for volunteers to time in and out when they work at the clinic. Admin were provided functionality to manage volunteer information, resolve conflict time entries, and generate reports required by funders.
Features:
- Ability to manage volunteer and employee profile information
- Ability for Volunteers to complete forms
- Volunteer check-in and employee timesheet check-in (and check-out)

City Rescue Mission (CRM) Food Services Inventory System
Students: Caitlin Glenz, Curtis Nowak, Casey Parker, and Thomas Petrocelli
Community Partner: City Rescue Mission (CRM)
Industry Mentor: Danan Hudson from feature[23]
The goal of this project is to develop a Food Services Inventory System that can track, adjust and be accessed from any computer, tablet or smart phone. City Rescue Mission (CRM) used less-than-optimal solutions to manage warehouse inventory. All product-stock was recorded in a simple spreadsheet which led to erroneous data and inefficient record-keeping. Additionally, orders placed from kitchen managers to the warehouse were done so via email. This led to islands of information with no central database in place. Students developed a web-based system to allow kitchen managers instant access inventory at any time and place orders. System provides functionality for manual entry of inventory received and manage inventory catalogue.
Features:
- Allows system administrators to grant/restrict user access
- Ability for warehouse manager to manage product information
- Ability for warehouse manager add, update, and remove product quantities for receiving and quantity corrections
- Ability for kitchen managers to place orders for recipe supplies
- Ability for warehouse manager to see orders place and fulfill them

UNF School of Computing UniScheduler
Students: Mojgan Kamyar, Tyler Osborn, and Michael Pepis
Community Partner: UNF School of Computing
Industry Mentor: Raymond McDermott from feature[23]
School of Computing wants to replace the current paper-based approach with all-in-one scheduling tool that will eliminate the need for hours upon hours of planning by hand. Unischeduler should be one-stop solution for departmental scheduling of classes from semester to semester that will handle filling out the standardized scheduling Excel spreadsheet electronically. Students developed a web system that allows instructors to submit their course preferences form electronically and have the ability to update their form constantly until the due date. Based on inputs received from instructor and rules provided by the admin, system dynamically creates a draft schedule.
Features:
- Ability for faculty members to submit their schedule preferences in terms of times, days, and courses and use this data when creating a draft schedule
- Produces draft schedules using faculty schedule data using an intuitive GUI. The GUI displays all department courses in a user-friendly fashion allows easy changes to be made by simply clicking and dragging.
- Produces an Excel Spreadsheet when the schedule is finalized for sending to the college scheduler.

UNF Library Study Room Reservation System
Students: Keith Andrews, Ashley Barr, Gian-Paul Quinones, and Roberto Reyes
Community Partner: UNF Thomas G. Carpenter Library
Industry Mentor: Frank Ray from Intuitive Reason
The Thomas G. Carpenter Library (“library”) needs a web-based study room reservation system that can be used to manage 21+ different group study rooms within the library. The system is to be utilized by students and faculty alike, and it should be both mobile and desktop ready. The System should adhere to library group study policies and procedures, and it should be capable of running on a LAMP hosting platform that the library will provide. Students developed a web system that displays room details, pictures, and a “floor plan” view of where the room is located. The system provides several views, including a public view that allows people both on campus and off campus to make reservations, an administration view that allows library staff to manage the rooms and make adjustments to existing reservations, and a tablet-ready view that shows individual rooms—this view will be displayed on mounted iPads just outside each door. These views provides both the daily schedule for that particular room as well as allow someone to book an open slot.
Students developed an attractive home page with a carousel displaying the currently available study rooms and library instructions for reserving a room. The second tab includes . The third tab entitled “Check a Reservation” allows students to verify if the second party involved has confirmed the reservation. Students have many ways of viewing, scheduling, and reserving a study room.
Features:
- Mobile & desktop-ready web application (LAMP stack based application)
- Homepage with a carousel displaying the currently available study rooms and library instructions for reserving a room
- Make a Reservation provides ability to reserve rooms as well as provides information about schedule and details of every study room in the library
- Check a Reservation functionality allows students to verify if the second party involved has confirmed the reservation
- Ability for admin to create and manage users, configure the application, manage the reservations, and run analytical reports
