Service Learning Project
Purpose of project is to have students research available technological solutions, demonstrations of their use, comparisons; recommendations – describe what you expect: create software and do a presentation demonstrating its use
Basic requirements: Create an app for the Apple iOS and/or Google Android platforms for Cal Poly Pomona students, faculty, and staff to utilize the library’s electronic resources using their mobile devices. See detailed info on library electronic resources under “Other technological requirements.”
Optional: Enable our users to interact with each other, e.g. via comments, ratings, list sharing, messaging, etc. possibly via social networks such as Linkedin or Facebook. Gamify library research behavior to increase user interest: http://www.npr.org/2011/03/27/134866003/gamifying-the-system-to-create-better-behavior
Standards or tests (e.g., accessibility, usability) that application must pass – name any that you know apply
Accessibility. Here are two potentially useful websites on this topic: http://www.rnib.org.uk/
This app will act as a gateway to a variety of electronic resources:
- AirPAC – product info: http://www.iii.com/products/airpac.shtml, library link not live yet, should be activated early Winter 2012. If not, link to Xerxes catalog interface instead.
- Xerxes catalog interface (alternative to AirPAC) -- product info: http://www.calstate.edu/ats/quality-content/pdf/XERXES.pdf, live at http://xerxes.calstate.edu/pomona/solr
- Xerxes database interface – live at http://xerxes.calstate.edu/pomona/
- LibGuides – product info: http://springshare.com/libguides/, live at http://libguides.library.csupomona.edu/index.php

Service Learning Project
This is a senior project class of engineering and business students aimed at developing real-world commercial skills in an inter-disciplinary environment.
A front-end designed for customers to view
our clients and services as well as make purchases and connect to
social networking sites.
A back-end that allows administrators and
clients to view real time sales data, sales histories, account
information, and other administrative functions.
A smart-phone application that will allow customers access to time sensitive information related to their account.
We are seeking CIS students to help design a sleek and intuitive e-commerce website that will focus on a streamlined sales process, generating ad revenue from targeted advertisements, and linking our site to customer’s social networking pages. Customers should be able to make a purchase in one click simultaneously sharing that purchase on Facebook or Twitter.
Our goal is to develop simple CRM software on the back-end for our clients, the people that are actually listing their service(s). Clients should be able to view performance, adjust prices, and hopefully view demographic information of their consumers based on their Facebook/Twitter account info. Any other suggestions or expertise offered on this portion is welcomed.
A primary but non-crucial objective of our service will allow customers to bring their account data with them, this will require a simple smart phone application which will allow their data to be displayed. Is possible for this to be accessed via the website but there are some security issues on our end that need to be resolved. We will be able to elaborate more once a NDA is signed.
As far as legally possible we will need the capability to monitor social media information to mine demographic information from consumers such as Age, Gender, Interests, Preferences, and Income among other things. This will mainly be used for targeting ads appropriately as well as research.
Additionally we will need a template for our email blasts that allows us to sell ad space, connect to social media, and host media efficiently5:30 PM Alumni outreach for Boys and Girls Clubs of La Habra

The Boys & Girls Clubs of La Habra was founded in 1958. We are nationally recognized for our long-term accomplishments by the National Organization of Boys & Girls Clubs. We are looking to establish an Alumni Association to create a new source of fundraising dollars to enhance the services that we provide through the Club for the community.
We have member details going back to 1998. There are over 2,800 names and we are currently using “Peoplefinders” to create a data base that includes names, addresses, age, phone numbers and e-mail addresses. This mini-project will be finished by the middle of December.
In addition, we have identified the key contacts for each of the graduating classes of La Habra High school all the way back to 1960. The high school is directly across the street from the Boys & Girls Clubs and we know that many members of the Club were enrolled at La Habra High School between 1960 and 1997.
We have a Learning Center at the Club with over 40 computers. Our plan is to have the older kids in the Club to be in charge of the Alumni Association in terms of creating a monthly e-mail newsletter and video as an attachment.
We need help from Cal Poly in the following areas:
- .E-mail messages and videos
- Our plan is to send an e-mail and 2 ½ minute video to all of the members we have identified who attended the Club from 1998 to present
- Will need to develop a short “message” as an invitation to join our new Alumni Association in 2012. The attached video can be made by our Club members based on the content developed by the Cal Poly students
- we expect to have in excess of 2,500 e-mail addresses for the Club members who attended between 1998 and present.
- We will need another e-mail message that can be sent out by the key contacts for each graduating class from La Habra High. 1960 through 1997. Our objective is to find out if any of the students from each respective graduating class were a member of the Boys & Girls Club during their school years.
2. additional functionality
- ability to collect dues
- software to produce a monthly email which lists current events, provides recognition, prsents giving program, requests sponsorship of programs throughout the year, and donations to endownment

Network Forensic Investigative Platform
We are looking for the ability to extract any macros or executables associated with a document. This would be a server based application that is passed a document and returns the macros embedded within the document. The project could also return as “assessment” of the macros flagging them as potentially harmful or not based upon a set of rules. A harmful macro would be anything that modifies the registry, conducts file or network operations, memory operations.
We disassemble network traffic on-the-fly (for investigative purposes) extracting documents from file transfers, chat transfers, downloads, email attachments, etc. We want to extract macro meta-data from these files to assess potential hidden threats. Our product is used at the highest levels of our government to investigate banking fraud, network attacks, hacking techniques, electronic warfare, and data leakage. See www.dejavutechnologies.com for an explanation of our technology.
The ability to research third party products to assist in the engineering is a big plus.

Mac Forensics and eDiscovery Software and Solutions Provider
When tasked with a case involving Apple devices, computer forensic examiners often use the software tools with which they are most familiar. The goal of this project is to compare three industry standard forensic software tools, BlackLight™, EnCase®, and FTK®, and evaluate the performance of each during an Apple device-based forensic examination. Student examiners will conduct a thorough examination on a single ‘suspect’ forensic image, three separate times, choosing a different tool for each examination. Students will document items such as but not limited to product features and capabilities, ease of case creation, data importation, processing and analysis times and success rates, and case output quality (reporting). Participants must meticulously log steps taken during each examination and clearly report project findings. Attention to detail and knowledge of sound computer forensic examination principals is essential.
Customer will explicitly design the experiment. Participants must meticulously log steps taken during the experiment and clearly report findings.
Using like hardware, install BlackLight™, EnCase®, and FTK® on one or multiple systems. If one system is used, do not run the tools concurrently as this may affect experiment findings. Import the ‘suspect’ forensic image into all three tools, and document items such as but not limited to product features and capabilities, ease of case creation, data importation, processing and analysis times and success rates, and case output quality (reporting).
Tasks of interest include:
- Locating files of interest based on file name, and/or date, and/or size, and/or extension, etc.
- Viewing .plist (preferences) files
- Viewing .sqlite files
- Viewing picture files
- Viewing movie files
- Viewing word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation (i.e. Keynote) files
- Tagging/bookmarking files
- Keyword searching
- Other tasks the student deems important
Student examiners must present finding in a way that allows the easy comparison of each tool.
Participants may need to download and/or install software onto like hardware. Participants must determine the proper usage of each software tool, perform technologically sound forensic tasks, and communicate with the customer using proper computer forensics nomenclature.
