Project Proposal 1

● Title: Comparison of Transportation Modes in UP Diliman Campus

● Introduction/Problem description (significance, impact) – What is more accessible,
effective, efficient, mode of transportation for UP students inside the campus? This
would benefit students who travel from class to class using public vehicles inside the
campus, especially those whose classes are at very far buildings from their previous
classes.
● Proposed Alternative solution/s
○ E-jeepney
○ E-kot
○ Train system

Project Proposal 2
● Title: Comparison of the Economical Costs of Different Kinds of Straws
● Introduction/Problem description (significance, impact) – Now a days, more people
are finding new ways on how to live a greener life. One of the most popular trends is the
usage of reusable straws (metal, bamboo, glass). But, this sparked debates whether which
straw is indeed the best. Thus, this is what this proposal wants to tackle: to determine
which type of reusable straw is the most environmentally friendly.
● Proposed Alternative solution/s
○ Metal Straw
○ Bamboo Straw
○ Plastic Straw

Project Proposal 3

● Title: Installation of energy and cost-efficient streetlamps inside UP Diliman Campus

● Introduction/Problem description (significance, impact) – There is lack of well-
functioning streetlamps in some areas of UP Diliman campus. What is more energy and
cost-efficient streetlamps? This would benefit people who travel at nights inside the
campus, especially UP students who have late night classes, as well as graduate students,
faculty, and staff. This would be relevant for people such as drivers, riders, and
pedestrians walking at night. Moreover, this would contribute to the security around the
UP Diliman Campus
● Proposed Alternative solution/s
○ Streetlamps
○ Solar streetlight
○ Energy storing streetlight
○ Kinetic powered streetlights
