Students present models with multi-agent languages for Prof. Uri Wilensky's EECS 372 
Prof. Wilensky, right, listens to student demo

Students from Uri Wilensky's agent-based modeling and simulation class built models and simulations and presented them to the department on Tuesday June 11.  

The class is half undergrads and half graduate students from many different departments. In their final projects, they choose a phenomenon of interest to them, construct an agent-based model of it, and analyze the model's behavior. They have constructed and analyzed some very nice models, covering a range of subject areas including  economics, biology, linguistics, computer science, biology, epidemiology, education, sociology, political science, psychology, business, etc.  They use complex systems and network theoretic methods to construct the models and to conduct their analyses.

Prof. Larry Henschen's EECS 347 students demo their microprocessor systems projects  
Students demo a baby monitor Students demo their GAMMA Automobile Handle






Students developed and designed projects for Prof. Henschen's  Spring 347-1 class, Microprocessor Systems Project I (Read the course description). 

Projects demonstrated were The GAMMA Automobile Handle for people with limited or no use of one hand to enable them to drive a car; the Baby Monitor for parents who are concerned with the safety of their babies; and The Infant Surgical Warming Pad which maintains warmth of the baby during surgery in third world countries. Click here to see photos of the demos | Details about the projects
