The Olin Autonomous Surface Craft (OASC) was developed during the 2007‐08 academic year in a partnership between the Olin College of Engineering SCOPE program (Senior Consulting Project for Engineers) and Schlumberger. Five Olin students worked on the OASC over the course of two semesters towards the goal of presenting the sponsoring scientists at Schlumberger with a platform capable of doing underwater acoustic imaging. This paper will describe the OASC and its capabilities and present the results of some tests that have been performed.
In this project, the Acumentrics SCOPE team designed and developed an economic ethanol reformer for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, a promising and renewable source of energy.
This SCOPE team worked on improving athenahealth's Application Programming interface (API). The API would allow software developers outside the company to interface with athenahealth's large database of information to create powerful healthcare applications. The team also created a chat client that would be used by healthcare providers and staff within a practice and integrated into athenahealth's web-based software products.
