Welcome to Projects Day 2014!

Projects Day began in 2000 and has grown each year. With fifteen USMA departments and

students from four other colleges participating in over 250 presentations, we are excited about

this display of intellectual capital at this year’s event.

Senior class members present their senior thesis, capstone projects, or research activities in

either an individual or collective capacity. Students present to fellow cadets, faculty, clients,

and, in some instances, to a group of guest evaluators. Highlights include capstone design

projects, competition projects, thesis defenses, poster displays, various individual and group

performances, film screenings, and presentations on various topics relevant to the Army and

our social world.

USMA staff, faculty, and cadets from all classes as well as our many guests and visitors are

invited and encouraged to attend any and all of the presentations, which are scheduled from

7:30 am to 4:00 pm in various academic buildings throughout the post including Thayer Hall,

Mahan Hall, Lincoln Hall, Washington Hall, Jefferson Hall, Bartlett Hall, Building 606 (Law) and

the West Point Club Ballroom.

Although students from the United States Military Academy comprise the largest group of

presenters, students from visiting schools have become more pronounced in the event during

recent years. This year we have students participating in Projects Day from a variety of schools

including Columbia University, George Mason University, Stevens Institute of Technology and

the United States Air Force Academy.

Cadets will be competing for the annual Scott R. Clark (USMA 1985) Innovation for Soldiers

Award. The award is presented to a cadet project that demonstrates an innovative approach to

solving a problem of direct application to the Army. Additionally, cadets will be competing for

the Walter W. Hollis Award which recognizes excellence in Operations Research or Systems

Analysis.

We welcome all guests who will be attending Projects Day, especially the guest evaluators and

judges, students, and faculty from visiting schools. Additionally, we welcome special guests of

the Academy and the West Point Association of Graduates. They have all made significant

contributions in support of West Point and the Long Gray Line.

Student presentations are identified in the program by time of day and affiliated department. A

map of West Point and a map of the central area buildings where the presentations will be held

are also provided in the program.

We hope you enjoy the day!

Awards

The Scott R. Clark Innovation Award

The Scott R. Clark (USMA 1985) Innovation for Soldiers Award is given to the project that best demonstrates an innovative approach to solving a problem of direct application to the soldier and to the Army. The donor states, “This gift is to encourage cadets to demonstrate for soldiers, innovations which can benefit soldiers.” Each department has the opportunity to nominate projects to compete for the award. Projects are evaluated based on the following criteria:

Impact of the innovation to the soldier

Scope of the Innovation (number of soldiers impacted)

Significance of the innovation (evolutionary vs. revolutionary)

Impact of the innovation to the Army The Projects Day panel that will select a winner is comprised of experienced soldiers from across the academy.

The Walter W. Hollis Award The Walter W. Hollis Award recognizes excellence in military operations research or systems analysis. The Hollis Award is an annual competition co-sponsored by the USMA Department of Mathematical Sciences and the Department of Systems Engineering. The award is named for the Honorable Walter W. Hollis, former Deputy Under Secretary of the Army for Operations Research, in recognition of his lifetime of distinguished service to the Army and the Nation. The award winner is selected based on work completed at the Academy that addresses issues confronting the profession of arms. The winner is selected based upon creativity, the application of mathematics, science, & systems engineering concepts, and effective communication of their findings in both writing and oral presentation.

Intellectual Property and Patent Processing

The RDECOM Armaments Research Development & Engineering Center's Patent Processing group will be on West Point for the entirety of Projects Day. Located in Jefferson Hall, Room 131, they have a staff of lawyers and intellectual property specialists present. If your project has a new concept or breakthrough embedded in the report, you need to complete a Invention Disclosure Form. This simple step will initiate the process and allow you to add "Patent Pending" to all future communications of your work. Send a project representative to JH 131 between 0900-1430hrs with your project write up. The ARDEC team will get you through the next step!
