The Roundabout Rebels LLC have been contracted out to the Civil Engineering department of Southern Illinois University as part of their senior project. The purpose of this endeavor is to automate the process thru which a roundabout intersection is evaluated for efficiency, throughput, and safety.

The purpose of the Untouchables' senior project (CS 425 & CS 499) is to rectify the problems the users at the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) are having with the Chemical Inventory Safety and Tracking System (ChemISTS). Students in a previous CS 425 class developed this application in the fall of 1999. The problems primarily require an improvement in the system's security. Together with this task, the Untouchables are also required to add new features that will reduce the workload of the current users. One of these features is the implementation of a hand held device with possibly a bar code reader that will reduce time spent in inputting new data on to the currently existing database. The second new feature is a Chemical Exchange Program, which allows various departments to display a list of chemicals that they would like to give away. This feature should allow on and off campus users to view information about these available chemicals under the appropriate security level.

The Facilities Management of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville is responsible for all maintenance, updating, and improving of all the campus facilities. This includes the main campus in Edwardsville and the campus centers in Alton and East St. Louis.

The College of Arts and Sciences at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville has asked for an application that helps the faculty with their annual reviews, mid-point reviews, and tenure reviews. At the request of Dr. Carolyn Epple, the application would be that of an organizational tool that is to be used by the customers. The application would allow the person using it to organize any information that is entered.

The primary purpose of this system is to provide an educational and entertaining tool for an audience that consists of a wide range of ages and abilities. The client, Dr. Jerry Weinberg, is in the process of acquiring a robot capable of being controlled remotely. The client has requested an application that will allow people to control and learn about this robot. It is required that the application provide information about the development of our project so that future engineering students will be able to learn from our experience. NORRT will also design a website that will educate the public about the field of robotics and its applications. Visitors to the web page will be able to see live images from the robots camera while it is online. The next advancement will allow visitors to take turns controlling the robot. Time permitting, NORRT will develop an advancement that will allow the robot to move autonomously to user specified locations within the SIUE Engineering Building.
