Senior Project, 2016
May 5, 2016
Jim Schuler (CS, 2003) once again rode to the rescue for Senior Project, providing a new challenge for our 8 students who will graduate in Spring or Fall of 2016. Beacons and Raspberry Pi’s were the focus of this proof of concept challenge for the Franciscan Villages retirement community. The students involved were: Dan Healy (CS), Bryona Johnson (IT), Tim Kowalski (IT), Coleon Leverson (WD), Brisa Moreno (IT), Abraham Ortega (IT), Thomas Uraski (IT), and Tonghui Wang (CS).
Instead of walking up to a beacon and having it display information on aphone, students worked having a Raspberry Pi detect a beacon approaching, identifying the id associated with a beacon on a database and alert staff via a web interface about the person with the beacon and their medical and food needs. This involved using node.js scripting, configuring the beacons, designing a database, web interface and programming the Raspberry Pi’s.
Additionally there was a side project using an IoT (Internet of Things) button and calculating polling results.
A very successful demonstration was conducted to an appreciative audience and the students turned over their scripts and designs to Jim Schuler for use by the Franciscan Villages. A true example of service learning and demonstrating how hi-tech skills can improve the quality of life.
Great work to all our USF Computer Science Department Senior Project students!

Ninth Annual Student Alumni meeting
April 26, 2016
We had a wonderful turnout for our annual alumni/student meeting. 18 alumns, and our retired chair, Loretta Pearson, came out. Approximately 20 students had the opportunity to polish their resumes, learn how to address the questions they will face during an interview, and meet and network with both recent alumns and those who’ve been out a few years.
Lauren Burkhart (CS) was inducted into the Epsilon Delta Pi Honor Society. We updated our alumni on what’s going on, including our involvement in the new Cyber Crime Minor housed in the Criminal and Social Justice department, updates to the server in our majors' lab, and, new this academic year, our 3D printer.
Of course there was plenty of time for informal discussion between alumni to catch up and meet some folks they hadn’t met before.
If you couldn’t make it this year, don’t worry we plan to be back next year.
