Development Of A Learning Management System For Ucar-Comet, Dan Riter
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
UCAR-COMET creates web-based training modules for professional meteorologists. Prior to the implementation of this project, UCAR-COMET did not have a Learning Management System. A Learning Management System is a web-based system that allows meteorologists to keep track of personal information that relates to each learning module. The Learning Management System also allows the meteorologists' supervisors to monitor this information. Although there are many Learning Management Systems on the market, most are expensive, cannot be customized, and require contract agreements. UCAR-COMET would like to own a web-based system where users can create and manage their own accounts. A user account primarily …

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Girl Scout Troop #343 relies on parent volunteers to keep the troop functioning. The troop leaders would like to reduce time spent on paperwork, in order to allow volunteers to focus on time spent with the girls. Other than meetings, the most time consuming activity for volunteers is the manual tracking of paperwork. This includes financial paperwork, badge and activity status, personal data, and other such information. Troops are on their own to find a method for maintaining records, without local or national support. Currently, Troop #343 has moved the finances to an electronic format, which has left the badge …

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
The Aerospace and Defense Industry is rebounding from one of the worst financial downturns in the history of the market. What has emerged is a realization that the future for Aerospace and Defense manufacturing requires a focus on “services†versus supplying high quality products alone. In order to support such a complex offering of products and services, manufacturing organizations in the Aerospace and Defense Industry must migrate to a customer-centric business structure within their people, processes, and tools. To support the shift, companies must deploy a robust, enterprise, CRM (Customer Relationship Management) technology. The difficulty is in the selection process …

Use Of Cross-Connect Clusters To Optimize Routing In Stm-64-Based Sdh Optical Network Systems, Bret William Durrett
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
With the migration to Synchronous Digital Hierarchy, which uses the concept of logical rings, for backbone transmission systems, one of the major concerns that has been brought up repeatedly is a method in which to bring sub-rate circuits from one ring to another without having to decompose the entire backbone data stream to its individual circuits. This is critically important since the backbone data rate can be as high as 10 Gigabits per second or greater and may carry several thousand circuits, ranging in data rate from less than 2.4 Kilobits per second to 2.5 Gbps (STM-16). One potential means …

Development Of Database And Web Site For D3multisport, Jay Garrison
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Before this project, D3Multisport.com did not have a software application to track and monitor personal and progress information on athletes training for triathlon events. The previous process was manual, and although it helped provide a training schedule for an athlete it required the data be updated by hand. The process of developing a training program on an excel spreadsheet provided a good basis for the athlete to start the program, but was not suited to make dynamic adjustments if not optimally suited for the athlete. The application created in this project was designed to keep a coach updated on the …

Integration Of Interactive Voice Response Unit And Outage Management System, Chaomei Jiang
Integration Of Interactive Voice Response Unit And Outage Management System, Chaomei Jiang
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
This project provides a technical solution that integrates the Interactive Voice Response Unit (IVR) and the Outage Management System (OMS) for the Public Service Company. The IVR system is introduced because its automatic call logging functionality can process a large volume of phone calls from the customers reporting electrical service problems. This is a major improvement over the current Trouble Call Center (TCC) infrastructure that has a limited number of agents handling a relatively small number of customer calls. Because OMS can receive more calls, it then can predict the outage locations and causes more accurately, dispatch more repair crews …
