and the contact person for those projects will be Dr. Schiavone.
Project 8
We have been trying to develop a computerized sign-in and sign-out system
to document the utilization of our tutorial center located in engineering
1-281. We have had two different student groups to work on this project,
but have not had success with long term use.

Project 9
We have been trying to develop a computerized sign-in and sign-out We need
to improve our on-line registration system for local schools (approximately
70), who participate in our pre-college program, SECME. The schools will
register for our Saturday workshops as well as our annual competition for
over 600 students.

Project 10: Modify SenDraw for PC and Create SenDraw for MAC
SenDraw is a utility, similar to Paint, for creating Reed-Kellogg sentence
diagrams. This program (written by a team of EEL 5881 students) has been
used in LIN 4680 Modern English Grammar and LIN 5675 English Grammar &
Usage for several years, and overall, the program works well. However,
a few modifications are needed: an additional shape needs to be added,
the "print" function has a few problems, and the program needs to be made
to follow 508 guidelines (if possible). SenDraw is a utility, similar to
Paint, for creating Reed-Kellogg sentence diagrams (see above). However,
currently the program will only run on a PC. Mac users have been forced
to make do with commercial programs which are difficult to use for sentence
diagramming. A Mac version needs to be created. Preferably, the Mac version
will include the updates requested above.

Project 11: Modify Word Guess
Word Guess is a web-based game (written by EEL 5881 students using PERL,
I think) that presents a text with every fifth word deleted. Students try
to fill in the blanks of the missing words. The Word Guess program keeps
track of each guess and counts the frequency of each guess. After students
play the game, they can view a list of results which includes the original
word as well as all the guesses. This program works well for very short
texts, but the results are scrambled when longer texts are used. Also,
it doesn't allow me to change my password so I am always forgetting it.
Also, students have trouble remembering their usernames/passwords, so some
better way of handling the passwords is needed. Also, if possible, this
program should be modified to follow 508 guidelines. Note: whoever takes
on this project will need to contact Course Development in order to make
sure they will allow the program back on their server (because the university
does not ordinarily allow cgi bins). I'll help this approval process however
I can, of course.

Project 12: Modify Sentence Pattern Roulette
Sentence Pattern Roulette is a web-based game (written by EEL 5881 students
using java, I think) that gives students practice in identifying sentence
patterns. This game is in GREAT shape. However, it does not meet 508 guidelines.
I would like it to be modified to meet 508 guidelines, and also (if possible)
to fit better on a computer screen. I seem to have to scroll around to
use it. Also, this year UCF's Course Development techs noticed that the
program doesn't work well on all machines. I don't know what that problem
was, and Course Development may have fixed that problem already, but in
any event, I'd like whoever tackles this project to look into it and make
sure nothing more can be done.

Project 13: Create a matching or multiple choice verb expansion game
Verb phrases in English are created according to predictable "verb expansion"
rules in transformational grammar, but these rules are unfamiliar to most
students. I would like a game to be created that gives students practice
in applying the verb expansion rules. I am not exactly sure what kind of
a game is needed. Right now, I'm thinking it might be something like Concentration
in which students have to match a verb phrase to the rule that produced
it. However, rather than my supplying a list of matching verb phrases/rules
to be used in the game, I would like the computer to generate different
verb phrases using the rule (so I do less work, the computer does more).
Also, I am not completely attached to the Concentration idea. If another
sort of game would be easier/better, I'm willing to go with it. I'd like
to talk with the team to brainstorm different possibilities. This game
would need to be web-based so that I can use it when teaching LIN 4680
Modern English Grammar and LIN 5675 English Grammar & Usage.

Project 14: Modify Grammar Jeopardy
I use this grammar jeopardy game (written by a team of EEL 5881 students)
when teaching English Review workshops to UCF staff. This game works great,
overall, but I've discovered that it can be difficult for me to modify
questions. I would like the game to be able to draw on a "test bank" of
questions that I supply, rather than my having to enter only a single question
for each category. Also, when I am adding questions, I would like some
way to access the "test bank," because right now I have to re-enter questions
(I don't think I can see what is already there). Also, when I run this
game, it takes several tries for me to get the game screens to fit the
computer screen. For some reason, I can't get the right mouse arrows to
adjust the screen (I can demonstrate this to whoever adopts this project),
and I find myself starting and restarting the game until the arrows start
working right. I can't play the game without adjusting the windows first
because important windows are mostly covered up. I would like the game
to fit the screen better so I don't have to struggle with the arrows.

Generic Department Level Automated Management System (AMS)
Overview and Problem Statement
Routine operations at the department level at UCF are somewhat problematic
due to fragmented data sources and non-automated management systems. Departments
that have large student populations and contract and grant demands expend
inordinate person hours processing repetitive and routine transactions.
In particular, transaction processing related to personnel employment -
GA's and adjuncts - is problematic. There are increasing documentation
requirements for both that are time consuming, involve multiple steps,
and are prone to benign error that creates delays and additional time expenditure.
Furthermore, historical information is not available for efficient management
and planning. The UCF required forms such as Personnel Action Forms (PAF),
contracts, and various source documents could be electronically maintained
and thereby reduce labor and increase efficiency. This is a generic setting
that applies to all UCF departments. Course scheduling has become increasingly
difficult due to the increase in student population and demand for classrooms.
Furthermore, the requirement for media based classrooms has exacerbated
scheduling. Again, since the current system is manual, there is no ability
for analysis, planning, and management of scheduling activities. There
are on-going plans to provide systemic systems at the university level
that will accomplish these requirements, however, at present the development
and implementation cycle is unknown and does not provide relief for current
day-to-day operations.
Current System
The current system is a paper based manual system. The system is labor
intensive, lends itself to duplication, misplaced records, and error.
Project Objectives
Develop and automated department office management system that will: -
Provide personnel management and planning for graduate assistants and adjuncts
- Provide course scheduling assistance to facilitate planning and maximize
utilization of resources - Provide management tools for contracts and grants
to facilitate contract monitoring, management, and planning

Project 18
Horn proposed a method to measure the orientation of objects in space from
marker based constraints. We propose for a group of students to learn about
the method (one excellent JOSA paper on it) and to implement the methods.
these methods will be compared latter to another method we developed in
our lab. We are very familiar with the paper and technique, and the student
will work with me and closely at least one of my advnaced graduate students.

Project 19: Online Crossword Puzzle
This project requires the development of an online crossword puzzle with
an administrative interface for instructors to customize the content and
incorporate the puzzle in their online courses. The project has the following
features: - The crossword application must have two interfaces: student
and instructor - The crossword application should be developed based on
the traditional crossword game in which words are identified horizontally
and vertically - The game should be designed so that an individual student
or a team of students can play the game online (subject to further discussion)
- A score of students' performance is kept as they play - The instructor
interface should allow them to customize the content as they see fit.
