MQP: WPI Helpdesk Employee Management System
The Major Qualifying Project is the capstone project at WPI intended to demonstrate the knowledge and skills developed in the undergraduate program. This MQP was conducted by Jason Codding and Eric Greer and advised by Professor Michael Ciaraldi of the Computer Science Department at WPI.
Abstract
The goal of this project was to design and develop an employee management system for the WPI Helpdesk. This system was developed to fill existing gaps in the electronic management of employees. The scope of the project included researching and evaluating various Web technologies and analysis and design of employee profiles, electronic timesheets, employee performance reviews, and an integrated hiring process. Development work included construction of the core system framework, creation and management of accounts, employee profiles, and electronic timesheets, and a foundation for future modules.

IQP: Assessment and Catalogue of Puerto Rican Mooring Buoys
The Interdisciplinary Qualifying Project is a major project conducted at WPI intended to develop collaborative skills in a cross major environment. This IQP was conducted in Puerto Rico for the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DRNA) by Brittney McNally, Eric Greer, Ryan LaSante & Greg Coffey. This project was advised by Professors Karen Lemone, CS & Ingrid Shockey, IGSD.
Abstract
The Department of Natural and Environmental Resources of Puerto Rico has installed over 270 mooring buoys in seagrass, coral, and mangrove regions with the anticipation that they will curb boating damage and allow these natural environments to recover. To streamline buoy management, our group constructed a Geographic Information System database. This contains data we gathered at each buoy concerning its exact GPS location, condition, the recovery of the environment it is protecting, and observations of boating trends within the region.
