Information about student projects from my graduate and undergraduate software engineering classes. I should annotate these listings, indicating which software is in use, or usable. Note: some of the links in the URLs may be out of date, particularly on older projects not being maintained.
The Avon Foundation Comprehensive Breast Evaluation Center at Massachusetts General Hospital currently asks each patient to provide information about her medical history each time she visits the Center. The PRISM system will allow her to do that just once, comfortably and conveniently at a computer. PRISM will be web based, easy to use, and secure. The design and testing will pay particular attention to the user's varied cultural and technical backgrounds and the need to comply with ADA guidelines. PRISM will provide secure access and maintain audit trails in order to conform to HIPAA regulations. PRISM design will allow for future features: updating records, porting to a touch screen kiosk and scaling for patient data entry from remote sites.

EcoFlyer allowes users to enter zipcode or city name of the area they want to view and the data for that area is displayed. EcoFlyer has features one would expect in a sophisticated mapping application. You can have all the typical functions like creating scrollable/zoomable photo from data that it downloads from web and displaying latitude/longitude at the cursor and much more. EcoFlyer is built on GeoVirgil, which is a free mapping program that automatically downloads and displays data from the Planetary Data Archive at NASA.S Jet Propulsion Lab. With it, you can explore the solar system using the very same data that scientists use. Apart from the features GeoVirgil has, EcoFlyer offers users a versatile and user friendly application.
