IBM, 2003 BMW, 2005).Ĭollaborative project management gained new meaning with the advent of new technological breakthroughs. Munich Management Colloquium, 2001), and at industrial companies (e.g. Stuffer has given papers on this methodological approach at a large number of events by specialist organizations (such as GPM, 1998), at management congresses (e.g. Initial projects at industrial companies such as BMW and Bosch demonstrated the practicability of the methodology which was then further refined. Rupert Stuffer developed the methodology of collaborative project management in the 1990s. Read more about the project in this feature article on the Collaboratory.Faced with unresolved issues in the management of complex product development projects that were beyond the capability of classical techniques such as network planning or critical path analysis, Dr. The Collaboratory group developed a concept interface that makes use of modern technology like touch screens, wireless design controls, and voice recognition. Tektronix funded the project to modernize the interface for oscilloscopes that currently use knobs and buttons to navigate menus and manipulate data. Completed Projects Oscilloscope Interface Further work will develop a control interface for Android smartphones to manipulate the oscilloscope as well as mange settings. The team has already presented Tektronix with two prototypes of fingerprint scanners that allow users to save and retrieve oscilloscope settings. Widely used in science and engineering, oscilloscopes measure and analyze electrical signals. Tektronix will soon be launching a major redesign of their oscilloscopes and are looking to incorporate the work of the Collaboratory team to improve their usability. The data collar can then interact with many different types of data to inform the brain of its surroundings. Using human neuroplasticity, the system teaches the brain to understand new information. Drivers could be able to sense where other cars are located without looking. Applications include navigating in complete darkness or through fog and smoke. Have you ever sensed that someone was behind you without looking? This project with Texas Instruments will develop technology to allow a user to “feel” nearby objects. Read more about the project in the article, " Art Meets Engineering." The Six Sense This project will develop a system to measure skin conductance in response to music, advancing technology for research in music perception. The Collaboratory is working with him to understand music response at a deeper level. The power of music to affect our emotions is the topic of Oregon State professor, Jason Silveira’s research. An onboard GPS can even be used to track your child’s trips! The project was featured in Scientific American and The Register (UK). This SMART helmet can report the type and severity of the injury to help diagnose a concussion. Imagine a bicycle helmet that can call 911 and relay information about the impact a rider just experienced. The Collaboratory is working on the cutting-edge technology of wearable computing for a project to improve safety. To find out how to become part of the Collaboratory as a client or student, contact Don Heer.įeature article, Dancing to a Different Beat, describes more about the Collaboratory and the finished products. The CreateIT Collaboratory was started with seed funding from The Tektronix Foundation which has a decades-long partnership with Oregon State to give students work-relevant experiences. Clients so far include Tektronix, Texas Instruments and the Utah Ballroom Dance Company. These students leverage their own excitement, OSU’s technical excellence, and industry guidance to create things that have never been seen before. Student interns are hired in small teams to work on a specific project with a client. The Collaboratory creates work-ready graduates who can successfully work on a team to create new products. Using hands-on real projects, select groups of students take radical ideas from industry and research and develop them to prototypes. Where better to find these fresh ideas than among the students of top engineering universities? The Oregon State CreateIT Collaboratory in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science endeavors to do just that. Industry needs fresh perspectives and ideas to keep inventing the future. Software Engineering and Human Computer Interaction.Computer Science (OSU-Cascades in Bend). ![]()
