Students from the Arkansas Tech University computing sciences program shared the outcomes of their research and product development during a senior projects showcase at Chambers Cafeteria West Dining Room on Tuesday, April 28.
“This event serves as a key outreach and engagement opportunity, bringing together community partners, non-profits, advisory board members, area high school students and the campus community to highlight the impact of our computing sciences programs,” said Rebecca Cunningham, ATU assistant professor and program director of computer science and information technology.
Presentations included applications and platforms that are designed to help users manage their money, enhance their enjoyment of online games, manage workflows, make transportation operations systems more efficient, manage room reservations, identify stock market trends through social media analysis, pursue their faith, manage their daily schedule of commitments and automate the academic grading process.
The ATU computing sciences program also made several award presentations during the event.
Those recognized included Brennan Bondio, Landon Boyd and Andrew Pinkerton (top scholar award); Ian Duggan, Michael Heinzen and Malaya Wilburd (academic excellence award); Aiden Behler and Shilo Reed (outstanding research scholar award); Robin Kelley, Hayden Clark, Billy Tilmon, Nicole Holt and Aidan Martin (service award); David Zambardino (Lloyd McDaniel Scholarship); Brandon Johnson (Ross Pendergraft Scholarship); and Isaiah Adams and Michael Heinzen (outstanding senior project manager).
