cee 277e environmental informatics

projects

Brief Overview

Included in the 2-unit option, there will be occassional discussion sections, computational laboratories, and several short papers. For the 3-unit option, students will meet the requirements of the 2-unit option plus undertake a prototype computational project that includes an additional discussion meeting, presentation and proposal paper.

EI Project Ideas

The laboratory is your opportunity to unleash your imagination and test your ideas. Here are a few ideas to perhaps help seed your own ideas...

1. Synchronization of environmental data between different platforms.

2. Architect-Design-Build an interface (storage, archiving and retrieval) for a data library.

3. Design a reference architecture for global collaboration and content management.

4. Apply document control principles to an environmental dataset.

5. Build a database (eg, Wiki) that tracks data worthiness and issues.

6. Develop a scheme that reduces "data waste."

7. Design a scheme to deal with data redundancy, conflict and gaps.

8. Create an EI-friendly training and support program that can be embedded across applications.

9. Program a computational procedure to receive, process and store data from a data acquisition source (eg, remote sensor).
