Rebekah Jackson and Dr. Mary Farahnakian, Department of Media and Theatre Arts This project has been an involved approach to studying the history of costume design both through conventional research and the more tactile, construction process. While Edith Head is a renowned costume designer with many books and articles on her life work, less has […]

Design of a Robot Head for an Assistive Robot used in the Clinical Treatment of Children with Autism
Jacob Robinson and Dr. Mark Colton, BYU Mechanical Engineering Introduction Autism is a spectrum disorder that is characterized by an impairment of the child’s social relationships, communication skills, and imaginative thought, resulting in a decreased quality of life for the child and his or her family, as well as significant economic costs to society. Although […]
Design and Synthesis of (-)- Englerin A Mimics
Kayleen Thompson and Dr. Merritt Andrus, Chemistry and Biochemistry Englerin A, which comes from an East African plant, Phyllantus englari, has been found to be an impressive anti-renal cancer agent. It is even more promising than another leading natural anticancer agent, Taxol.1 Englerin A has a unique, complex structure, and its exact mode of action […]
Design and Implementation of a Laser Locking Apparatus
Jarom Jackson and Dr. Dallin Durfee, Department of Physics and Astronomy Purpose of the Project The experiment which we are building here in Dr. Durfee’s lab is a novel one, the key part of which is an ion interferometer. The interferometer consists of a beam of Sr+ ions which will be split in half. The […]
Making Systems Users Accountable through User Interface Design Features
Lee Wood and Dr. Anthony Vance, Dept. of Information Systems The purpose of this research was to determine how features of the user interface of an information system could be designed to increase users’ perceptions of accountability within the system, and thereby decrease levels of unauthorized access. One of the most persistent problems of information […]
Conservation and Design of Fine Leather Bindings
Thomas Gappmayer For my 2010-‐2011 ORCA Project, I studied the leather book binding for use in both design binding (building new books) and conservation binding (restoring old books) applications. Over the course of the project, I was able to complete fully complete five of the six books I originally intended to complete. The sixth book […]
Using Instructional Design Theory to Create A Student Editing Handbook
Andrea M. Reese and Dr. Beverly B. Zimmerman, English The curriculum for the Insight student journal workshop class consisted of an eclectic mix of handouts distributed at the editor’s whim. Some were created by previous editors, some photocopied without attribution to the teachers who wrote them, and others adapted from undocumented print sources. Not only […]
Summary of Creative Research – Furniture Design
Virgil Loggins Merrill and Professor David Taylor, Visual Arts The objective of this research project was to design and create two original pieces of furniture. The conclusion was much more. There were initially two developments to this project, the first being the design process, and the second being the manufacturing process. Through the design process […]
CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DESIGN OF A PROSTHETIC FOOT USING COMPLIANT DESIGN AND ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES
Kenneth E. Richardson, Department of Mechanical Engineering Introduction The modeling of the human body is not an easy task. Designers of artificial organs and prosthetic devices have the unenviable goal of attempting to duplicate (or at least satisfactorily approximate) the motion and function of the greatest and most powerful machine on the face of the […]
Design And Fabrication of a Water Tunnel For The Byu Mechanical Engineering Department
Lon M. Stevens and Dr. Daniel R. Maynes, Mechanical Engineering A water tunnel is essential for visualization, validation, and experimental analysis of the fundamental fluid dynamic behavior of flowing liquids. Water tunnels come in a variety of geometric dimensions, which are dependent upon the type of fluid flows that are of interest. It was proposed […]
