Color-block dresses, polka dot shirts, checkerboard cropped pants... When people talk about environmental pollution, they rarely immediately associate it with the latest fashionable clothing in retail stores. However, the reality is—fueled by the fast fashion trend, the fashion industry has been ranked as the second most polluting industry in the world.

To address this issue, during the summer of 2023, students from the Business and Economics Committee turned their attention to a concept that has gained popularity in both the fashion world and environmental circles in recent years—Sustainable Fashion. The students developed Ecopia, a second-hand clothing recycling and customization platform centered on eco-friendly principles. Through market research and target user analysis, they designed a circular prototype of the product.

With the growing global awareness of environmental protection, the evaluation system for green buildings continues to evolve and improve. Students from the Environmental Engineering Committee have taken green building as their core concept and creatively designed a new structure resembling the "Noah's Ark." The building is divided into three floors (including balconies) and is constructed using eco-friendly materials such as Cross-laminated timber (CLT), a low-carbon innovative material. The team visually presented their conceptual building design through hand-drawn sketches, including feasible solutions that utilize renewable energy systems to support and provide living resources and recreational facilities.

Nowadays, people enjoy the convenience of food delivery services but often overlook their potential negative impacts and risks. The issue of delivery transportation is increasingly affecting normal traffic operations and safety.

Students from the Engineering Committee have proposed an idea to use drones instead of electric vehicles for deliveries: the drones would precisely follow mapped routes based on global coordinates, pick up orders at designated locations, and notify customers via mobile phone once the delivery is safely completed. These drones would recharge at reasonably spaced drone bases, with solar panels serving as a backup power source. Through this solution, they aim to effectively curb the rise of traffic accidents and provide truly convenient services for the public.

With the rapid development of science and technology, many individuals aged 65 and older face various challenges in communication and interaction due to physical and psychological limitations, making it increasingly difficult for them to adapt to the smartphone era.

Students from the Social Sciences Committee have proposed a "Technology for Convenience Program" — an initiative aimed at meeting the daily needs of the elderly by designing an electronic device specifically for senior users. The device includes an easy-to-understand home screen, intuitive calling functions, secure mobile payment settings, and emergency contact features. The students have also incorporated a support plan, collaborating with mobile phone manufacturers to develop more user-friendly and affordable phone models. Additionally, they are recruiting volunteers in communities across the country, particularly in large cities, to help elderly individuals learn how to use this smart device, ensuring that no one is left behind in the digital age.

According to data from the Eighth National Population Census, an analysis of residential land supply in first-tier cities experiencing massive population influx reveals a severe mismatch between population growth and housing land availability. Soaring housing prices have led to a series of issues: widening wealth gaps, increasing homelessness, and more.

Students specializing in urban economics have proposed an innovative solution. Guided by a people-oriented philosophy, they aim to provide "co-living apartments" for middle-income individuals who migrate to first-tier cities but cannot afford the high housing costs. By increasing building height, they seek to maximize spatial utility and offer more affordable housing options. Additionally, they provide job skill training and housing price discounts for unemployed vulnerable groups, striving to make cities more inclusive.

With the continuous advancement of medical conditions, people are paying increasing attention to their own and their families' health. Many working professionals are particularly concerned about elderly family members missing correct medication schedules or confusing medications/dosages due to forgetfulness.

In response to this challenge, students from the Biomedical Committee have proposed some innovative solutions: designing dedicated medication containers (such as boxes, bracelets, necklaces, etc.) for the elderly, equipped with reminders for regular and quantified medication intake (such as refrigerator magnets, medication calendars, and a 30-day medication management challenge). These aids are designed to help seniors adhere to medical instructions and avoid potential health risks.
