Visualizing Sorting Algorithms, Brian Faria
Visualizing Sorting Algorithms, Brian Faria
Honors Projects
This paper discusses a study performed on animating sorting algorithms as a learning aid for classroom instruction. A web-based animation tool was created to visualize four common sorting algorithms: Selection Sort, Bubble Sort, Insertion Sort, and Merge Sort. The animation tool would represent data as a bar-graph and after selecting a data-ordering and algorithm, the user can run an automated animation or step through it at their own pace. Afterwards, a study was conducted with a voluntary student population at Rhode Island College who were in the process of learning algorithms in their Computer Science curriculum. The study consisted of …

Graph-Ene, James E. Torres
Honors Projects
GRAPH-ENE is a rich internet application for building and manipulating undirected, simple graphs. It is intended for use as a classroom teaching aid, plus as a tool for students to interactively manipulate graphs for assignments. Being web based, it is portable—it can run anywhere a browser is available. Since it is interactive, it provides problem-solving capabilities that are not available using pencil and paper.

Inter Spem Et Metum, Fiat Lux, Michael A. Mota
Honors Projects
Explores the design and development of a simple, 3D flight simulator. The resulting application allows users to pilot an abstract human avatar and to create free-hand strokes and physically-based explosions onto the environment through a ball discharge meta-game feature. Uses the C++ language, and the ancillary programming API libraries, OpenGL, GLEW, and Win32.
Proe: Pseudo Random Optimized Encryption, Louis J. Ricci
Proe: Pseudo Random Optimized Encryption, Louis J. Ricci
Honors Projects
Examines the development and testing of the PROE encryption algorithm, including design decisions ensuring security and speed. Demonstrates implementation in the x86-64 assembler.
Rhode Island College Mobile Course Catalog, Lianne Elsner
Rhode Island College Mobile Course Catalog, Lianne Elsner
Honors Projects
Consists of a suite of computer programs written in Visual Basic.net and embedded Visual Basic 3.0, whose purpose is to display the RIC course catalog on a Pocket PC device running Windows Mobile. The program package allows major course requirements and information to be viewed on a single screen. Included is a desktop computer program which allows faculty and staff to make changes to the database of courses.
