Scott D. Frel and Benjamin W. Holladay, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering CAStLe was developed during the Spring of 1995. The primary purose of the project was to complete the requirements for the mandatory senior project all Electrical and Computer Engineering majors must complete. With the support provided by the Office of Research and […]

A COMPUTER-BASED ESTIMATION OF CEREBRAL CORTICAL SURFACE AREA
Marc A. Steed, Psychology The surface area of the cerebral cortex (Cc-sa) was first measured in 1864. Since that time various methods have been applied, always post mortem. This project is the first to estimate Cc-sa from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRl) scans ante mortem. I have faced several challenges in my project. My proposal stated […]
Computer Simulation of Synthetic Aperture Radar
Adam Robertson and Dr. David V. Arnold, Electrical Engineering The Microwave Earth Remote Sensing group in the BYU Department of Electrical Engineering has developed several Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR). SARs transmit many short bursts of energy from a satellite or airplane. The bursts of energy are reflected by whatever is in their path. Some of […]
CREATION OF AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL IN PORTUGUESE TO TEACH PRINCIPLES OF COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN
Richard Kendall, Marriott School of Management The financial support awarded to me helped contribute to one of the greatest experiences of my life. My main goal for my project was to effectively help an architectural company by teaching them the techniques of computer-aided design (CAD). During winter semester of 1994, I studied CAD extensively and […]
Simulation of a Quantum Algorithm on a Classical Computer
Brent Kraczek and Dr. Jean-Francois Van Huele, Physics and Astronomy Quantum computation is a recent idea of how to use quantum mechanics to improve computer performance. Although a full quantum computer has not yet been built, a few algorithms have been developed which take advantage of different aspects of quantum mechanics. David Deutsch, one of […]
Solving Laplace’s Equation on a Personal Computer
Michael Higley and Dr. Peter Bates, Mathematics Laplace’s equation is a differential equations that describes many physical properties in steady state systems. It can be used to describe heat distributions, displacements in elastic media, or electrostatic fields. My interest is in solving an electrostatics problem where the domain—the area in which the equation has physical […]
Computer-Animated Agent in the Virtual Room as a Learning and Teaching Tool
Fabian Fulda and Dr. Randall Lund, Germanic and Slavic Languages Many people have difficulty learning foreign languages, especially when it comes to pronouncing words and phrases exactly.1 A 3-dimesional animated agent, in this case a computer animation which models the motions of important instruments of speech, can be an effective tool for teaching and learning […]
Task-Centered Conversation Systems for Computer-Assisted Language Learning
Aric Bills and Dr. Deryle Lonsdale, Linguistics and English Language Many language educators have envisioned computer systems capable of providing language learners with intelligent spoken interaction in the target language. Although we can’t expect to see a fully conversant computer for years to come, there are several resources available which can be used to make […]
Compositing 3D Computer Generated Images and Live Footage
Ryan Jensen, Cameron Earle and Dr. Brent Adams, Industrial Design 3D imagery is used to enhance traditional film footage in all areas of the film and video industry. In order to be prepared for industry, it is necessary for students to be familiar with the process of putting live and computer generated images together in […]
Computer Simulation of Microstructures Based on Two-point Correlation Functions
Benjamin L. Hansen and Dr. Brent Adams, Mechanical Engineering A great amount of variance exists in the properties of any material. The ability to accurately predict these properties allows for designers to find the “best” material in highly constrained design situations. Many properties, such as elasticity and conductivity, are relatively insensitive to grain boundary interfaces […]
