CSE 481 Capstone Software Design (5) Students work in teams to design and implement a software project involving multiple areas of the CSE curriculum. Emphasis is placed on the development process itself, rather than on the product. |

"Where'd that bum Naegle go? How are we going to get this done if everyone is goofing off?" |
 |
Sure, when MTV is around everyone is awake. |

"Okay, I fixed the alpha blending bug. Give it a try." |
 |
"The main thing students learn in this course is that communication is the critical issue in software development." |
 |
"Now which team am I on again?" |

"Your work station should provide you with a comfortable sitting position that is sufficiently flexible to reach, use, and observe the display screen, keyboard, and related documents. Some general considerations to minimize fatigue include posture support (back, arms, legs, and feet), and adjustable display screens and keyboards. Computer tables or desks should be vertically adjustable to allow for operator adjustment of the screen and keyboard. Proper chair height and support to the lower region of the back are critical factors in reducing fatigue and related musculoskeletal complaints. Document holders also allow the operator to position and view material without straining the eyes, neck, shoulder, and back muscles." |

"Separating kinematics from mass, then, we have for the weight W = f(a)mg where f(a) is the fraction of the car's mass the tire must support and also accounts for weight transfer, m is the car's mass, and g is the acceleration of gravity. By Newton's second law again, the acceleration of the tire due to the force F applied to it is a = F/f(a)m. We can now combine the expressions above to discover a fascinating fact: a = F/f(a)m < amax, where amax = mW/f(a)m = mf(a)mg/f(a)m = mg." |

"I've heard that if you listen to Russian tapes while sleeping you'll wake up fluent. Maybe it'll work with Windows books." |

"Bret, you've got CarPhysics.cpp
checked out and I need it. Bret. Bret?" |
