Final exam for SIE 555 Spatial Database Systems —- all the paraphernalia to the right is for the distance ed students.
Graduate seminar presentations Spring 2012 — and a Doktorhut!
Today, 4 more candidates of the SIE 693 graduate seminar students presented their current research. Brendan O’Shaughnessy already had a successful dry run on Friday, his M.S. defense. He knew about the celebratory ice cream cake that would be served today, but not about the German tradition, upheld by his advisor Reinhard Moratz, that he would get a very special cap — the so-called Doktorhut — you’ll see what it is all about.

Fun Stuff
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania developed flying robots - they look like fat, square hummingbirds and play the theme song from “James Bond” films.
More coordination.
3D Thermal Mapping
The 6th Sensor IGERT cohort will develop a 3D thermal mapping of an University of Maine building this semester using Arduino hardware, a data stream management system, and Matlab for 3D mapping over time.
The IGERT cohort’s blog can be found here. check it out!
