Full Overview

Each year Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSSE) students participate in group software development projects. These projects give students real-world experience while still in an educational environment. We are seeking customers who have software problems that need to be solved. Typically, 20 to 25 teams of four CSSE students each will select one of the proposed projects each. The project will be completed over an academic year and entail the software lifecycle; starting with requirements gathering in the fall and culminating in delivery of the system in the Spring quarter. At the Rose Expo in May, teams demonstrate their new products to sponsors, fellow students, faculty, and the public. This is a significant milestone for students as they embark on their careers. Note that these are educational experiences for our students and the projects offer the opportunity for clients to work with students and receive the fruits of their labor – software.

Example Projects

Projects range from proprietary applications for engineering firms to business applications for local non-profit agencies. The following are a sample list of the projects our students have completed or are currently working on:

  • Remote Vitals Monitoring Through a Mobile Device: Application to support patients’ interactions with their doctor.
  • Application to Encourage Recycling for ReThink: Mobile app to encourage people to recycle and engage in improving the environment.
  • AI Identification of Objects in a Robotic Workspace: Using AI to identify items in a robotic lab equipment environment.
  • Data Acquisition and Processing for Remote Weapon Simulator: Application for analyzing six-degrees-of-freedom motion platforms (remotely operated weapons mounts).
  • Literacy Labels: Emergent Literacy Application Design for Children with Autism: iPad App for helping Autistic children communicate.
  • RHIT Campus Directory Mobile App: serves as a mobile tool for Rose campus maps, directories, and other information services on iPhone/Android based platforms.
  • Trail Mapping for Mobile Devices: mobile access for users to trail maps, parking, restaurants, and restroom facilities along trails.
  • LIDAR Data Compression: research emerging routes to compress this 4-dimensional data.
  • Station Based Proximity Gaming: develop a fixed function station to allow players in a local area to "sit down" at a virtual game.
  • iPhone News Reporting: An iPhone-based news reporting application.
