Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Voice and data cabling enable people around the world to communicate by phone, fax, and computer. Cabling is the basis for virtually every network. Today's voice and data cabling is engineered to balance high performance with cost efficiency. The quality of the service provided by the cabling is directly related to the quality of the installation. Properly installed cabling can provide years of service for networks, in most cases outlasting every device connected to the network. Experience has taught us that too many people don't realize the importance of cable infrastructure. At Alfred State College, in the Computer Engineering Technology …

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Trade Unions also know as Labor Unions are non-profit organizations whose purpose is to represent workers in their work place, negotiate collective bargaining agreements, and enforce those agreements while representing its membership. In the past three decades, United States Trade Union populations have been dropping. One of the reasons behind the reduction is the lack of leadership to keep infrastructure contemporary and able to meet the changing pace of business. International Union has been working on different projects in an effort to change how they do business. One approach International Union exercised is upgrading its larger premier locals such as …

The goal of this project is to enable the PAIR Test to become more efficient and have the ability to store results of the testing process into a database for future data analysis. The system will also remove the manual scoring and relationship profile creation by automating this process, resulting in …
Coverage Testing In A Production Software Development Environment, Kent Bortz
Coverage Testing In A Production Software Development Environment, Kent Bortz
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
This project proposes that current testing methodologies used by standard testing tools are not sufficient to ensure sufficient test coverage. Test tools provide important and irreplaceable test data but are not capable of guaranteeing high percentage of path exposure (coverage). If the code path includes loop statements like, "if" or "when" then the number of paths to test grows exponentially. The growth of the code path becomes exponential when nested decision statements are considered. The most common methodology used in today's testing environment verifies each line of code but does not verify all path combination. Testing per line of code …

Implementation Of Microsoft's Virtual Pc In Networking Curriculum, Jim Yulga
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Using Microsoft's Virtual PC software product as a virtual technology in the implementation of Network Specialist curriculum allows increased versatility and considerable hardware cost savings. Rather than purchasing individual computers or removable hard drives, using boot manager programs, or simulation software (including Computer Based Training programs), for student use in learning the administration of an operating system, one computer with hard drive, sufficient processor power, and RAM can be used to implement the effective hands-on learning approach of plan, implement and test, and then review. In addition, this software allows a non-dedicated (production) computer lab to be used. This is …

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
In business a key to being successful is being able to identify who your customers are and evaluating their needs. Most businesses are not only comprised of a single customer; therefore, there is a need to retain customer information and to track the customer from initial contact to the point of sale. While there are numerous off the shelf products that can store customer data, often times they do not easily allow for modifications and many of these products would require some sort of wide area network (WAN), which could incur extensive costs, in order for highly distributed sales people …

Development Of An Automated And Integrated Budgeting System, Sarah E. Bury
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Alpine Health currently uses Microsoft Excel to produce consolidated budget statements each year. These Excel templates have become extremely cumbersome to the accounting department since they must cut and paste all of the templates (over 20) into a "master" schedule that consolidates the reports into a view that the executives make decisions from. Often times these templates are too large to email back and forth. They are hard to track since several versions of the same budget are sent during the process. Each time a new entity or hospital is added, the accounting department must update several different tabs on …

The Automation Of Obtaining Customer Billing Data, Jonathan Seashore
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
XYZ Telecom received bi-monthly customer PDF billing data (identical to the paper customer invoices) from the print vendor Gilmore, Inc via CD media shipped by FedEx. Upon receipt, this data would then be posted to the CD/DVD media server through a manual entry process. The Billing Disputes Team often required immediate access to this data to deal with customer inquiries for telephone dispute calls regarding current or previous billing periods. Through the use of a dedicated VPN connection, VBScript and Windows Server technology an automated solution was put into place which ultimately saved XYZ Telecom approximately 20 hours of IT …

Developing A Methodology For Creating Flexible Instructional Information Technology Laboratories, Daniel J. Ziesmer
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Many schools - particularly the more dynamic segments of high schools and community colleges - have begun to undertake instruction in the areas of PC repair, networking (vendor-neutral and specific alike), operating systems, wireless technologies, and so forth. For some schools, however, this leap forward has come only with a later realization that there are tremendous startup costs and ongoing expenses associated with such endeavors, especially considering that many of these instructional elements have historically called for independent instructional facilities. From this perspective, institutions may find they have to cut their programmatic vision short in the face of harsher budgetary …

Unix Remote Access Via Ibm S/390 System, Selena Pena
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
The MSCIT graduate program at Regis University offers UNIX and Information Assurance courses for all graduate students. In addition, the program gives students the opportunity to participate in the Systems Engineering and Application Development Practicum (SEAD) to complete their professional project/thesis. Due to the limited number of UNIX systems available, the graduate and SEAD students have a limited environment to work on. The UNIX and Information Assurance classes share the Acadunix UNIX server to complete lab work and homework assignments. Some students have limited root access via "sudo." Students cannot practice remote commands and can't use networking tools because another …
