April 2004
More than 100 Computer Science seniors exhibited their projects at the Spring
2004 Engineering Design Expo, held recently in the Integrated Teaching and
Learning Laboratory. These students are members of twenty-two teams
completing Senior Projects (CSCI 4308-CSCI 4318)
this year.
A Department of Computer Science project was voted the best project of the
expo, the
"People's Choice",
by attendees. The project,
"Project Mayhem -
A Location Based Reminder System", was developed for Boulder's Pensieve
Software by Computer Science students
- Kavita Agrawal
- Phillip Dressen
- James Gillespie
- Benjamin Hoyt
- Simone Nicolò
Project Mayhem extends the concept of handheld time-based reminders
("remind me to perform a task at a specified time") to location-based
reminders ("remind me to perform a task when I am near a specified location").
The project combines a mobile phone user interface, implemented in Java,
with a Global Positioning System, Yellow Pages address directory, a street
address to physical coordinates mapping service and a Project Mayhem server
to create the system.
More than 80 projects from throughout the College were exhibited at the expo.
In addition to the People's Choice award, four Senior Projects each received
"Best in Group" awards. This recognition was given by industry judges based on
interviews with each project team, demonstrations of each project, and
evaluation of each project's results by the judges. Winners of this award for
Computer Science were
The Senior Projects course was taught by
Bruce Sanders along with teaching assistants
Martin Cochran,
Graham Schelle and
Jerry Sun.
