ISAT Senior Symposium 2011

PHOTO: SymposiumSeniors in the Integrated Science and Technology (ISAT), Intelligence Analysis (IA), and Geographic Science (GS) Programs will be presenting their senior capstone projects on Friday, April 15th. This is all day event, which will take place in the ISAT/CS, and HHS Classrooms.
 
More than 100 senior projects will be presented, starting at 9:00am and continuing until 5pm. These projects are created by seniors with guidance from their advisors in the ISAT, IA, and GS Programs.
 
The symposium is designed to serve a few purposes.  First, it gives seniors a venue in which they can display their talents and show what they’ve learned. Second, a more far-reaching purpose is to serve as a networking forum.  Finally, the students are proposing solutions to real-world problems in business, industry, and society at large.
 
Some of the types of projects that will be presented in the symposium include: design and creation of websites, interactive CD-ROMs, databases, and technology-based business plans that address issues in areas such as energy, the environment, biotechnology, engineering and manufacturing, information and knowledge management, telecommunications , health, human-environment interaction, geospatial  technology, and national security intelligence.
 
The symposium is open to the public and to representatives from business and industry who want to scout for talented, top-notch seniors.
