Team Interurbanator has designed an autonomous land vehicle called the Interurbanator. This vehicle uses input from infrared, ultrasonic, GPS and video imaging with lasers, to navigate its way between two GPS waypoints while avoiding all obstacles. The Interurbanator constructs a map of known obstacles and safe areas. The map will allow optimization of future missions by providing an ideal route.
Chris Britney (csb114@shaw.ca) is currently completing his last quarter of Computer Engineering Technology at Camosun College. Chris has recently completed a co-op work term at Streetlights Intelligence. His focus in the project is software development and system integration. Chris plans to continue his studies at the University of Victoria.
Andrew Heath is in his third year of Computer Engineering Technology at Camosun College. He handles many of the embedded systems and
software/hardware integration for the Interurbanator. Andrew can be
reached at hidden13@gmail.com.
Paul Green (vacuumpaul@gmail.com) is currently enrolled in his final quarter of Camosun's Electronics engineering program. He is responsible for the bulk of the project's hardware requirements. He also handles
embedded software design of several subsystems. Paul plans to continue his studies and complete his engineering degree at the University of Victoria.
Kylee Lothrop is in her third year of Electronics Engineering Technology at Camosun College. In this project, she develops software for embedded systems and the brain, as well as hardware design. She plans to continue her studies in the Electrical Engineering program at the University of Victoria. Kylee can be reached at kyleelothrop@gmail.com
Stephen Lau is a third year Computer Engineering Technology student at Camosun College. He first became interested in electronics through
robotics. His role in this project is to develop software. He can be
contacted directly by email at Toshi38@gmail.com. Stephen plans to
continue his studies at the University of Victoria.

BC Assessment is responsible for maintaining and reporting values on property throughout British Columbia. Over 1.8 million assessments are created and mailed out to property owners in the province annually. A formatted output file of the assessment notices is created and sent to a contracted printing service.
The print stream utilized by the printing contractor historically has included inconsistencies in the output. These inconsistencies include misaligned fields, empty fields, truncated fields, and incorrect placement of data on the pre-printed output forms.
JST Solutions has assisted BCA in furthering their mandate to “establish and maintain uniform real property assessments” through the development and implementation of a quality control system. This system allows users to define and search for conditions that may result in inconsistencies.
The Camosun College Computer Systems Technology diploma program has provided JST Solutions members Jason Dyck and Sean Pollard with the necessary skill set to accurately define, design, and implement this software solution. Through the use of Microsoft Project, Visual Studio, and the C# programming language, a quality product has been created for their client.

Royal Roads University (RRU) is designed to meet the needs of learners and the requirements of the global marketplace. Most programs at Royal Roads University are delivered through a combination of Internet-based learning and short, on-campus residencies. This convenient learning model maximizes convenience and accessibility. From the campus on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, RRU reaches out to the world with international partnerships and residency options.
The Centre for Teaching and Educational Technologies (CTET) coordinates the design and development of all academic courses at RRU. Their current work schedule is made with an electronic spreadsheet.
The goal of this project was to build a web-based solution to replace the current CTET spreadsheet. This system allows users to view custom course information, manually enter new information into the system, and edit existing content.

Lacerte Development is a software development company located in Victoria, BC. Lacerte Development specializes in custom software and Internet servers, which run under a number of different environments including Windows, the Internet, hand-held computers, and mobile phones. Lacerte Development is currently developing a new product called UberFine.
Team Blue Screen Virtual Machine has agreed to work towards the first phase of this project, the UberFine application. The objective of the UberFine application is to eliminate the need of installing software on the device, and act as a bridge between the UberFine web service and a Blackberry. The UberFine web service will be configured to pull information from the BlackBerry such as Address Book entries, Calendar events and To-Do Lists. End users can choose to modify the information on UberFine website. Finally, the users can simply plug in the Blackberry and transfer information through the UberFine application which automatically interacts with the UberFine website.
Blue Screen Virtual Machine members, Andre Steinhausen, Brodie Cawdell and Li Yu, have a combination of experiences in different fields of technical knowledge including computer languages such as Java, Perl, PHP, Visual Basic, C and C++. During two years in the Computer Systems Technology program at Camosun College, they have developed the skills and knowledge needed to accomplish this project.
