Hybrid Life Cycles In Software Development, Eric Vincent Schoenborn Dec 2022

Hybrid Life Cycles In Software Development, Eric Vincent Schoenborn

Culminating Experience Projects

This project applied software specification gathering, architecture, work planning, and development to a real-world development effort for a local business. This project began with a feasibility meeting with the owner of Zeal Aerial Fitness. After feasibility was assessed the intended users, needed functionality, and expected user restrictions were identified with the stakeholders. A hybrid software lifecycle was selected to allow a focus on base functionality up front followed by an iterative development of expectations of the stakeholders. I was able to create various specification diagrams that express the end projects goals to both developers and non-tech individuals using a standard …


Full-Text Search Using Elasticsearch, Akash Shrestha Dec 2022

Full-Text Search Using Elasticsearch, Akash Shrestha

Culminating Experience Projects

Search engines have changed the way we use the internet. They can search or filter out relevant and valuable content of interest to the users. But many of the applications we use today lack search or are just poor. So how can we leverage the same power of search engines in our applications? This project aims to look at “Full-Text Search” which allows us to do a text-based search in text-intensive data. The search will be performed by matching any, or all words of the query exactly or with some relevancy against the indexes created by the searching tool. The …


Muse: A Genetic Algorithm For Musical Chord Progression Generation, Griffin Going Dec 2022

Muse: A Genetic Algorithm For Musical Chord Progression Generation, Griffin Going

Culminating Experience Projects

Foundational to our understanding and enjoyment of music is the intersection of harmony and movement. This intersection manifests as chord progressions which themselves underscore the rhythm and melody of a piece. In musical compositions, these progressions often follow a set of rules and patterns which are themselves frequently broken for the sake of novelty. In this work, we developed a genetic algorithm which learns these rules and patterns (and how to break them) from a dataset of 890 songs from various periods of the Billboard Top 100 rankings. The algorithm learned to generate increasingly valid, yet interesting chord progressions via …


Devops: Course Development, James Lee Vanderzouwen Dec 2022

Devops: Course Development, James Lee Vanderzouwen

Culminating Experience Projects

DevOps has become somewhat of a buzzword amongst software engineers in the industry. Often developers do not have a dedicated DevOps engineer let alone a DevOps team. Developers benefit when they know what happens between ‘works on my machine’ and production. Making sure those steps make sense and are safe benefits the operations team. From compliance to code review to regression testing, understanding the full SDLC, employing DevOps concepts, and minimizing overhead from dependencies is quickly becoming a pre-requisite for the modern software engineer. This project attempts to bridge the gap between buzzword and best practice by developing a college-level …


Exploring Coral Reefs With Interactive Geospatial Visualizations, David Nicolas Tonning Dec 2022

Exploring Coral Reefs With Interactive Geospatial Visualizations, David Nicolas Tonning

Culminating Experience Projects

This project uses geospatial data to generate custom polygons in an interactive setting to represent the size and location of coral reefs to extract insights from coral reef-centered data sets. Historically, the data used by the Reef Restoration Group Bonaire exists in disparate sources, making it difficult to track and analyze the outcomes of their restoration work. Additionally, this information is not available in a digestible format for other audiences who would be interested in this data, such as citizen scientists seeking coral reef health statistics, the general public wanting to better understand the coral reefs surrounding Bonaire or recreational …

Malware Detection And Analysis, Namratha Suraneni Dec 2022

Malware Detection And Analysis, Namratha Suraneni

Culminating Experience Projects

Malicious software poses a serious threat to the cybersecurity of network infrastructures and is a global pandemic in the form of computer viruses, Trojan horses, and Internet worms. Studies imply that the effects of malware are deteriorating. The main defense against malware is malware detectors. The methods that such a detector employ define its level of quality. Therefore, it is crucial that we research malware detection methods and comprehend their advantages and disadvantages. Attackers are creating malware that is polymorphic and metamorphic and has the capacity to modify their source code as they spread. Furthermore, existing defenses, which often utilize …


Notebooks Web Application, Vivekananda Marellali Dec 2022

Notebooks Web Application, Vivekananda Marellali

Culminating Experience Projects

In our day-to-day activities we often need to make quick short notes related to our work, study, or other activities. Later, those notes should be easy to access, modify, delete, share with others, or create PDF documents as and when required. It is ideal if the note content is rich text format such as HTML, as it provides many text formatting options and provide better view and readability. The Notes are better organized if they are grouped into notebooks where each notebook consists of related topic note pages and multiple users can create such notebooks and share with other users …

College Job Portal, Harikrishna Gonuguntla

Culminating Experience Projects

Through this project, I am producing a portal called "College Job Portal" that will make life easier for students, colleges, and the companies who hire the students by handling the hiring process. On-campus job placements are a crucial component in contemporary educational institutions. By entering information about their educational history, grades, technological abilities, and CV, students would register with the portal. Like students, companies would sign up with the site by supplying basic details like their address and contact information for human resources. The college would be the portal's administrator. Companies can advertise job openings using this site by including …


Building A Deep Model For Multi-Class Coral Species Discrimination, Hyeong Gyu Jang Dec 2022

Building A Deep Model For Multi-Class Coral Species Discrimination, Hyeong Gyu Jang

Culminating Experience Projects

The goal of this qualitative research project is to develop and optimize a multi-class discrimination model to identify different species of coral based on their digital images. Currently, there are artificial intelligence (AI) models that can distinguish between coral and other undersea objects such as sand or rocks, but to our knowledge the problem of multi-species classification has not yet been addressed. Given that coral reefs are a good indicator of overall ocean health, it is important to develop models that can classify the presence of different species in underwater images as a way to monitor the effects of climate …


Docker Container Image – Vulnerability Scanning, Joseph U. Ohaeche Dec 2022

Docker Container Image – Vulnerability Scanning, Joseph U. Ohaeche

Culminating Experience Projects

The technology landscape for container adoption has greatly evolved over the years from the first known Unix U7 container concept introduced in 1979 to the most utilized docker container concept which emerged in 2013. Docker container image is essentially a lightweight, standalone executable software package with capabilities to run an application. It is important to know that container images become containers when deployed, and simultaneously docker container images become docker containers when deployed on Docker Engine. This project paper aims, evaluates, and presents a methodology useful in vulnerability scanning of docker container images and suggests possible fixes based on OWASP …
