Fourth-Dimensional Education In Virtual Reality, Jesse P. Hamlin-Navias
Fourth-Dimensional Education In Virtual Reality, Jesse P. Hamlin-Navias
Senior Projects Spring 2022
This project was driven by an interest in mathematics, visualization, and the budding field of virtual reality. The project aimed to create virtual reality software to allow users to interact and play with three-dimensional representations of four-dimensional objects. The chosen representation was a perspective projection. Much like three-dimensional shapes cast two-dimensional shadows, four-dimensional shapes cast three-dimensional shadows. Users of the software developed in this project could interact and experiment with these three-dimensional shadows using hand controlled inputs. The hypothesis put forward is that virtual reality is currently the best medium to teach three-dimensional and four-dimensional geometry.

Development Of Etsu Student Life Android Application, Tyler L. Cox
Undergraduate Honors Theses
In this thesis, the author gives a description his journey creating and developing a Student Life Application for East Tennessee State University. This thesis will document his process with development as well as reflect on the struggles and victories in creation of this application.
An Investigation Into The Use Of Software Code Metrics In The Industrial Software Development Environment, Tim Littlefair
An Investigation Into The Use Of Software Code Metrics In The Industrial Software Development Environment, Tim Littlefair
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
This work describes a project that investigates the use of software metrics based on measurement of source code in industrial software development. Literature is examined relating to considerations of quality in industry; to software engineering; to emergent technologies in the software industry including the object-oriented paradigm and software patterns; to software product and process metrics; and to cultural factors affecting workplaces in the software industry. It then expounds theoretical and practical work aimed at specifying, designing and implementing a source code analyzer for use in a typical industrial project setting. There is an explanation of the design and outcomes of …
Parametric Software Project Estimating: An Analysis Of Current Practice, Stuart Hope
Parametric Software Project Estimating: An Analysis Of Current Practice, Stuart Hope
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
As society and the world economy moves into the second millennium. the service industries involving knowledge workers will continue to increase. Software is the enabling technology that is driving the knowledge industry. As the development of software is mostly a design process, where new artefacts are conceived and built, the prediction of outcomes in the process is fraught with difficulties. Software project estimating is one of the essential Software Engineering techniques that will enable the rationalisation of decision-making regarding software development. Estimates that are more accurate will increase the probability of success and lower the risk. This thesis analyses the …
A Proposal For A Development Platform For Microcontroller-Based Devices, Michael L. Wetton
A Proposal For A Development Platform For Microcontroller-Based Devices, Michael L. Wetton
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
This thesis is concerned with designing, implementing and testing a miniaturised temperature data logging device. Investigations demonstrated that a microcontroller could provide a low-cost single-chip solution to this problem and after a detailed review of 8-bit microcontrollers, the MC68HCll was chosen for this task. This document also includes discussion on an environment that was developed for creating and testing MC68HC11 software and the use of Motorola's evaluation boards. To ensure that the device was designed to software engineering standards an investigation into software engineering analysis techniques took place. This resulted in the Jackson Structured Programming (JSP) methodology being adapted to …
An Investigation Of Methodologies For Software Development Prototyping, Susan M. Jones
An Investigation Of Methodologies For Software Development Prototyping, Susan M. Jones
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
The computer industry has a poor record of system development using the traditional life-cycle approach. The main cause of user dissatisfaction is the unacceptably large amount of time between specification and delivery of a system. In addition, users have limited opportunity to influence how the system will look when implemented once development has commenced. With the advent of 4GLs, system development using a prototyping approach has become a viable option. This has reduced the development tlme significantly and, together with the use of prototyping, has allowed users to become more involved in the development process. However, this change in the …
