Senior Design Project

The School of Geology and Geological Engineering in the College of Engineering and Mines at the University of North Dakota teaches a wide range of geology, environmental science, and geological engineering courses and does a lot of community outreach events. This senior design project will result in equipment that will be used in classroom teaching, online teaching, and community outreach, so we are very excited about it.

The idea behind the project is to use the “cool factor” of augmented reality to grab attention, but to also use the augmented reality as a teaching tool since so many people are visual learners. Some other universities already have augmented reality sand tables, which are much more static, but we are at UND and we want to step up and exceed what other universities are doing by taking the idea of an augmented reality stream table to the next level, with an augmented reality stream table. This will show that CEM is on the cutting edge in yet another field – educational AR in the geosciences.
