Mercyhealth Internship: It As A Unit, Frenz Joshua Hayag

Student Scholarship – Computer Science

This is a CSIS 494 Field Experience paper about an internship in a healthcare organization called MercyHealth. My internship would be described as generalized. The paper will be mainly talking about the different aspects of IT and how they all come together to create progress, and cohesiveness in the organization. I had the opportunity to see different aspects of their IT department by sitting down in project meetings. I was able to job shadow multiple staff from admins to PC techs to network engineers. I was able to see first-hand how an organization, and IT respond to disaster, and how …

Best Practice For Computer Imaging And Maintaining A Database, Olawunmi Babalola

Student Scholarship – Computer Science

For my field experience class CSIS494 I did an internship where I mostly learned about computer lab imaging and worked on researching the best practice for database updates/maintenance. This paper documents all the work was done during my internship as well as the number of hours spent on my project. I worked on this project for a total hour of approximately 280hours, i.e., about 25 hours, each week for 14 weeks, which was during the fall semester of 2017.

This paper gives an introduction of both topics I have worked on, and the technology I have learned about which is …

Xamarin Forms Vs Native Platform Development, Austin Borop

Student Scholarship – Computer Science

This research compared the development process of different technologies. These technologies were native iOS, native Android development, and Xamarin. Each of these technologies were testing using their recommended development tools. Each technology was used to create calculator application to meet a minimum specification. These specifications were that the calculator would have basic arithmetic functionality. The application needed to do all of these things through button presses and be able to display the output as well. The data analysis was time based and the duration necessary to complete each application. The research concluded with some interesting results. The expected results of …

Lsat Practicum: An Application Of Human Based Computation, Seth Rivett

Student Scholarship – Computer Science

Human-based computation can be applied to solve problems too hard for a single computer. Crowdsourcing can be applied to ethical modeling by splitting ethical situations among humans. In this senior research project, the crowdsourcing method is applied to produce an ethical model for what web crawlers are allowed to do on websites. By evaluating questions about terms of use on a website, users provide context for the robots. An obstacle to this project is getting the right crowd to participate in the problem. The crowd of potential law students was selected as students typically answer questions to study for a …

Nesynth Project, John Falco

Student Scholarship – Computer Science

This project was designed to create a program that can interface with user input through a keyboard to produce sounds through the use of the MIDI protocol. The goal functionality was to have the unit be able to interface with a Nintendo Entertainment System to produce synthetic sounds along with sampled sounds through the MIDI protocol. However, this goal was not able to be achieved due to technical limitations. Due to this, the sound of the A203 chip was emulated through use of sampled instruments using MIDI. The goal of this project initially was to also include a USB keyboard …

Selection Methods Of Genetic Algorithms, Ryan Champlin

Student Scholarship – Computer Science

The goal of the paper is to exhibit how four different types of selections work within genetic algorithms. It goes through what a genetic algorithm is, how the different forms of selection work, and how they were tested. I ran each of the four selection methods by creating three programs that tested different aspects. One showed the difference between brute force, one showed how they solved a NP problem, and one showed how they solved a game theory problem. Each of the selections performed well.

Machine Learning And Threat Intelligence, Jacob Vangore

Student Scholarship – Computer Science

Machine learning plays a role in a wide variety of fields. It can be used for predicting stock prices, identifying diseases, and even teaching Mario how to avoid mushrooms. This project explores the use of machine learning in realm of threat intelligence. There are many sources for professionals to keep up to date on the latest threats to software (NVD, PacketStorm, Twitter, etc.). However, it can become over cumbersome for individuals to monitor all of these sources manually. Building an automated string match system is a good first step to tackle this problem, but many false positives may be returned. …
