Presentation Type and Session: Oral – Education Exploration of a Green Energy Source Scott Bender, Kevin Sayers, and Jerry Benbenek, ENT 422: Machine Design II Faculty Mentor: Professor David Kukulka, Technology Thermoelectric technology is used to convert a temperature difference into electricity. This technology is based on the Seebeck effect where two metals are joined to form a closed loop, when a temperature difference exists between these two metals an electrical current is formed. A Caframo Ecofan that harnesses thermoelectric technology has been salvaged to use the generated electricity. The electrical output will be measured at various temperature differences to find the optimal electrical performance. Various applications for the use of the generated electricity are being explored. The most promising of these include lighting systems that incorporate LED technology due to their low power consumption. A simple design setup will be constructed to illustrate the use of the produced electricity in a lighting system. This technology can be used to harness wasted energy in the form of heat, making this a green energy source. Possible industries where the proposed lighting systems could be used include automotive, aerospace and building power systems. Presentation Type and Session: Poster VI The Future of Technology Literacy Charles Voorhees, INT 689: Research Design and Methods Faculty Mentor: Professor John Earshen, Technology Technology Literacy is an important issue to future US economic success. This thesis examines the validity of the Technology and Engineering Literacy Framework set forward by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The research goal is to develop a deeper understanding of this influential doctrine on the future of Technology Education. One area of focus is to determine the extent to which the assessment of Technology Literacy will be linked to emerging teacher performance/appraisal methodologies. The paper will feature an in-depth review of the published NAEP Framework, and other key works that address Technology Literacy. A questionnaire will be administered to poll current Technology Education teachers regarding both their understanding of the NAEP framework and reaction to the proposed teacher assessment. This research project is expected to provide a critique of the NAEP Framework, as it currently exists, and to buttress the argument that assessment of every student’s Technology literacy is a much-needed component of educational improvement at the secondary school level. It is hoped that this study will provide meaningful feedback of NAEP-related guidelines slated for implementation in 2014. Presentation Type and Session: Oral – Education Computer Information Systems & Technology High Speed Web Development Using Django and South Franklin Kumro Jr., CIS 435: Programming With Python Faculty Mentor: Professor Sarbani Banerjee, Computer Information Systems The field of Web Development has grown very rapidly over the last 10 years, with new technology being born every day. Newer frameworks boast high-speed development and my research examines those claims made by the authors of the Django framework. Django and South will be used to create a web application and to examine the speed of development. A web application would need to be created in order to immerse myself deeply into the framework. This web application would allow a user to manage their account, add vehicles to their garage, and post pictures/updates about progress on automotive projects. In order to mimic a full development stack I would use South to manage schema migrations and the Django ORM to utilize built in functionality like the administration panel and user classes. Celery would also be used to off load blocking IO from the webserver when images would need to be operated on. Unlike other frameworks, the documentation provided by the Django has been a vital asset during development process and due to this I was able to add features at a faster rate compared to other frameworks. Lower overhead, logical configuration, automatic administrative scaffolding and the power of Python aided in such improvements. Presentation Type and Session: Poster VII Increasing Technology Education Enrollment Through Project Lead the Way Gary Grant, INT 689: Research Design and Methods Faculty Mentor: Professor John Earshen, Technology Project Lead the Way (PLTW) is a widely accepted preengineering curriculum offered by school districts across the US. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of PLTW on enrollment in high school Technology Education classes. While PLTW is highly regard nationally, its impact on overall enrollment in Technology Education classes (in the schools that adopt the program) is not well understood. This study will compare data regarding the percentage of students who enroll in technology education classes in schools that do, and in schools that do not embrace PLTW. The study will use student participation data collected from a cohort of selected schools. The study aims to determine the degree of statistical correlation between implementing PLTW and increased pupil participation in high school Technology Education classes. It is expected that a strong statistical inference regarding the impact or PLTW on Technology Education enrollment may be enabled by the study findings.

58 Computer Information Systems & Technology Information Assurance Through Cyber- Security: Building a Better Mouse Trap? Richard Frasca, INT 689: Research Design and Methods Faculty Mentor: Professor John Earshen, Technology Contemporary cyber threats to America may be far more significant in scope and impact than the World Trade Center attacks of 2001. Today, the United <strong>State</strong>s is faced with the dual challenge of ensuring cyber security while preserving individual privacy rights. The problem is how to balance these two important needs. Proposed solutions are often complex and costly. We want online transactions to be private and safe from hacking, but we don’t want too much government intervention. This study will investigate the trappings of contemporary cyber security - with an eye toward evaluating strengths and weaknesses of current, and possible future, ‘mouse traps’. Effective solutions are often complex and costly. We must therefore identify solutions that are technically savvy, user friendly, and flexible. This presentation will identify major areas of concern, examine current methods of identifying cyber threats, identify new methods of attacking cyber threats, and proffer a forecast of the future of cyber security. Presentation Type and Session: Oral – Science, Mathematics and Technology Interference Fit Analysis On FS Elliott Compressor Impellers David Stabel and Jonathan Kress, ENT 422: Machine Design II Faculty Mentor: Professor David Kukulka, Technology FS Elliott is a leading manufacturer of oil-free centrifugal air and gas compressors. Their compressors deliver 100% oilfree air for the needs of their customers in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. In order to pressurize air, a centrifugal compressor first accelerates the incoming air with a rotating impeller. The accelerated air is then rapidly decelerated across a radial diffuser. By decelerating the high velocity air, the diffuser converts the air’s velocity into pressure. This process usually happens 2-3 times in order to reach the desired pressure. During the compression process the impeller is under multiple forces: axial and torsional loads due to the air across the impeller blades and an opposing torsional load due to the bull gear which spins the pinion shaft that the impeller is on. In order for the impeller to not slip on its pinion shaft, the impeller is attached to the shaft with an interference fit. An Interference fit is the fastening between two parts achieved by friction. As the impeller spins the different forces on it, causing it to expand as it starts to lift off the impeller shaft. When this happens, the frictional force of the interference fit decreases. To aid in the design of the compressors, a program was designed to calculate the amount of interference fit required using various input values specific to each compressor. Presentation Type and Session: Poster VII An Introduction To Business Intelligence Using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Murray Richburg, CIS 442: Advanced Systems Applications Faculty Mentor: Professor Barbara Sherman, Computer Information Systems Many businesses and organizations are turning to Business Intelligence (BI) to help them make fast and accurate decision with regards to their industry. BI is an extensive subject and covers multiple business practices and technology topics. In this research project I analyzed many of the important components of BI such as: data warehousing, ETL, OLTP and OLAP, Multidimensional Databases, Data Mining, Analysis Services and Reporting Services. BI has reached a new level of significance for decision makers in business. Capturing information from customers, employees and business operations has always been a part of running a business, but getting the right information into the right people’s hands in a format that allows them to understand the data quickly has become vital for growth and staying competitive. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is the company’s enterprise level database system solution. Production includes a “suite” of products that include the database engine itself, SQL Server Reporting Services, SQL Server Integration Services and SQL Server Analysis Services – Microsoft’s data warehousing solution. Although each of the products are designed to work separately – combined they provide to basic system requirements for BI. The research starts by taking a brief look at the history and origin of business intelligence and the Microsoft Corporation’s foray into the business intelligence market before driving deep into essential components. Since BI is somewhat of a corporate “catch phrase” and most business has a need for a BI solution, this research provides an introduction to a complex and advanced computer science topic. Presentation Type and Session: Poster VIII Knock To Unlock Your Door Benjamin Furco, William White, Barbara Kiliszek, and Thomas Newcome, ENT 465: Electrical Design Faculty Mentor: Professor Stephen Andre, Technology A signal processing algorithm was develop to release a door latch. The algorithm in the microcontroller selects one of two methods of signaling. A predefined knock pattern stored in memory is used in one method. This stored pattern is compared to one that is knocked on the door. A remote-control radio signal sent to the micro controller is used in the second method. Two different radio signals can be sent from the remote. One signal results in the door latch releasing. The knocking system was designed to be enabled or disabled with the other signal. The remote control provides visual feedback with an LED. The algorithm was also written to override the knock analysis routine if remote commands are sent. Presentation Type and Session: Poster V
