Further, the results of this analysis will allow for extraction matching the structure of a given waveform with another, providing what hopes to be an approximate solution to music identification when provided with music that has already been digitally encoded into a *.wav or *.raw file.

Method: Survey Tools: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator Strategy: This study looked at public perception and the price of gasoline. I asked individuals what type of vehicle they currently drive and compared that to their perception of the price of gasoline. While the sample size was small, my findings suggest a correlation to the perception that gasoline is NOT expensive by individuals who drive less efficient vehicles. graphic presentation |

Client: Class assignment
Methods:Appearance prototype, usability testing, contextual inquiry, focus group Tools: HTML, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator Strategy: This study focuses on designing a web-based social networking infrastructure using mobile GPS technology to coordinate ridesharing for young adults (ages 18-22). Young American adults typically desire independence at an age when habitual commuter patterns are formed. The primary goal of this system is to stimulate young adults to travel in groups using proven social networking methods. This study evaluates the usability and effectiveness of using a mobile social network to promote ridesharing.
