Faculty members engage in a mixture of projects and student collaborations. A major vehicle for faculty-student collaboration is the software capstone, a three-semester, M.S.-level project that the department regularly undertakes on behalf of external clients. Other research includes student theses and work by individual faculty on topics of current interest.
Current capstone projects include
-
The Faculty Activities System Project (focus: collecting data on faculty accomplishments)
The Assessment Capstone (focus: creating a configurable application for academic program assessment)
Past projects have included
-
The Glacial Modeling Project (sponsor: NSF; co-PI with U. Montana, Portland State U., U. Texas)
Three capstones on High Performance Computing, in support of research on analysis of galactic collisions
