  • The Impacts of a New Programming Course in a First-Year Engineering Experience

    Creator:
    Garcia Ramirez, Jessica
    Abstract:
    This research paper describes the impacts of a new programming class on first-year, non-CS engineering students. In the spring of 2021, the College of Engineering at Oregon State University piloted a new programming course that will be required of all engineering majors in the following academic years. We used the...

  • Mobile Cryptographic Coprocessor for Privacy-Preserving Two-Party Computation

    Creator:
    Kulp, Gabriel
    Abstract:
    Multi-party computation (MPC) is a field of study focused on devising cryptographic protocols that allow participants to learn the output of some function of their private inputs without trusting a third party to perform the computation. This is usually done at a large scale between data centers, with little emphasis...

  • View-based editing of variational code

    Creator:
    Van de Wetering, Miles
    Abstract:
    This paper discusses the merits of providing users variational views when editing variational code. I provide a plugin for the popular Atom Integrated Development Environment (IDE) which replaces #ifdef annotations commonly used by the C PreProcessor (CPP) with colored backgrounds, thus reducing code clutter and attempting to help programmers quickly...

  • The Past, Present, and Future of American Election Security: A Survey

    Creator:
    Read, Lyell
    Abstract:
    The widespread adoption of computerized systems around the turn of the century as a means of more efficiently conducting elections introduced more issues than these computer systems were intended to address. Though many of these flaws were not considered for years or decades after the introduction of digital election infrastructure,...

  • Distortion of Agent States for Improved Coordination

    Creator:
    Yates, Connor L
    Abstract:
    Many real world problems have partial solutions or intermediary steps which can lead toward solving the problem. When assembling robotic teams to solve these problems, we have intuition about which intermediary steps are more useful than others. We examine methods to identify and apply our designer intuition onto tightly coupled...

  • Impacts of Environmentally Responsible Engineering (ERE) Concepts in a New First Year Engineering Program

    Creator:
    Smith, Madelyn
    Abstract:
    This full research paper explores two factors of increasing importance for first-year university engineering curricula: sustainability and diversity. Over the past fifteen years, many universities in the United States have adjusted their engineering programs in response to these two values expressed by industry, professional organizations, and the Accreditation Board for...

  • User Interface and Database for the Intuitive, Developmental And Research Oriented, Easy To Use, Affordable, And Low Volume (IDEAL) Bioreactor

    Creator:
    Litzinger, Jaelyn W.
    Abstract:
    Expensive pricing for laboratory bioreactors proves to be the main barrier-to-entry for lab-scale academic research. Most laboratory bioreactors are priced at $100K+ and require significant training to use, thereby limiting their accessibility. The IDEAL (Intuitive, Developmental And Research Oriented, Easy To Use, Affordable, And Low Volume) Bioreactor aims to solve...

  • Design of a Process Independent Tool for the Creation of On-Chip Serial Test Interfaces

    Creator:
    Edmonds, Christopher D.
    Abstract:
    The push towards higher performing and more sensitive mixed signal circuitry has required the parallel development of increasingly more complex and sensitive test and calibration harnesses. Current off-chip methods of test and calibration may require higher pin counts or induce unwanted parasitic interference. In this thesis, the design of a...

    Creator:
    Kang, Kenneth
    Abstract:
    This study investigates the evaluation of Return on Investment (ROI) in education from the perspective of high school students, introducing a theoretical model that encompasses both financial and non-financial aspects, with a primary focus on the unique insights provided by high school students. Drawing from a literature review and survey-based...

  • Reasons Behind the Low Enrollment of Women in Computer Science

    Creator:
    Schneider, Ashley R.
    Abstract:
    Over the past few decades, the ratio of women to men in many traditionally maledominated fields has become much more equal. However, in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields the ratio has not improved at the same rate. In computer science the ratio is still very uneven. Today women...
