How “The Great Recession” Affected the Barbados EconomyShane JacobsMentor: Kraiwinee BunyaratavejThis poster is about how “The Great Recession” in the U.S. affected the Barbados economy.The Barbados economy relies heavily on tourism. Due to the recent economic recession in theU.S., the number of tourists had decreased and consequently affected the Barbados economy.The poster will also explore how the unemployment rate was affected. Based upon the trip toBarbados and the visit to the Barbados Central Bank, in particular, I will show how thegovernment and the central bank can improve the economy. The four focus areas are energy,tourism, manufacturing, and foreign investors. Barbados has a made a strong push forentrepreneurship on the Island so that more people can conduct business and have a betterlifestyle.A Feasibility Study on the Use of Geothermal Energy forResidential Homes in the Eastern United StatesAshley GeorgeMentors: Bruce Allison and Jeffrey MaskWe live in a world that we believe to be unlimited in fossil fuel resources. However, this is notthe case, and a shift to renewable forms of energy will be necessary. A renewable form ofenergy suitable for residential buildings, geothermal, can be used for cooling and heating, butmay not be a fit for all areas in the United States. The objective of this study was to determinethe feasibility of using geothermal energy compared to traditional heating and cooling methodscurrently used in residential areas along the east coast. Three sites were selected for this project,Maine, eastern Pennsylvania and central Florida. Current forms of heating and cooling for thethree selected sites were determined. Typical energy costs were determined and then comparedto a geothermal system. Using geothermal energy was feasible in residential areas along the eastcoast and provided savings of 28% to 36%. Geothermal energy can provide a cleaner and moresustainable environment for current and future generations.Human Pheromones: Can Reproductive Status be Determined by Scent AloneRachel Hausler, Jason Forges, Kiah Goodison,Amber Miller, Devin Price, Kristen Ward, Jonie WoodardMentor: Kathleen CurranPheromones are used by many animals, including humans, to communicate information and/orinitiate a change in physiology in members of the same species. Pheromones have been isolatedthat are used in mate attraction, territorial marking, alarm, and communicating food location. Inthis experiment we will look at the relationship between gender and attractiveness of odors inhumans using a variant of the classical t-shirt experiments. We will test the hypothesis that maleswill be able to discriminate between females that are capable of bearing offspring and those thatare not based on odor by asking them to rate odors impregnated in the fabric of t-shirts worn bytest subjects. Post-menopausal females should be less attractive than college aged women. Sincereproductive status would not be important to other females our second hypothesis is thatfemales will thus not be able to discriminate between different aged women based on odor alone.11

Composition for FilmMarissa RichardsonMentor: David LaganellaThis presentation will discuss the process of composing for film, and will also include a worldpremier viewing of a short film with an entirely original musical score. The technology used inthis particular project will be covered briefly, but the focus will be on creating music to fit andenhance the film, through found audio and original music and sound effects. I will describe theconstruction of the score from start to finish, explaining my choices in trying to achieve aneffective film score, including the development of an overall theme, choice of instruments increating contrasting musical textures and special effects enhancements. Also discussed will bethe composition process of specific sections of the film and the differences in carefully planninga sequence in advance, versus a more spontaneous approach. The presentation will concludewith a viewing of the completed project.Through their Eyes: A Look into the World of AutismLauren and Jennifer DeVoreMentor: Linda DeRocheThe maltreatment of autistic children within the public school system is a rising problem incontemporary American society. In today’s overly judgmental world, it has become easy forindividuals to place negative stereotypes on those with special needs. However, a preventativemeasure is provided by educating individuals about what autism is. In order to demonstrate therelationship between society’s misunderstanding about what autism is, and the need forawareness, we surveyed fifty Wesley College students. Although 82 percent of individualsclaimed they were familiar with what autism is, 52 percent of students chose incorrectly whengiven a series of three seemingly plausible definitions of what autism is. In a side-by-side picturetest, 40% of students mistook a child with mental retardation to that of an autistic child.Surprisingly, 28% of students have witnessed an individual with autism being abused, and 12%of these incidents occurred in a school setting. This information concludes that severalindividuals are still misinformed as to what autism is. The objective of this project is to spreadawareness about the growing prevalence of the abuse of autistic children within the public schoolsystem, and how through education and inclusion, understanding can be achieved. Our hope isthat through this project, we are able to educate others about what autism is and that througheducation we are able to foster a more compassionate society that celebrates differences, ratherthan degrades them.George Washington and the French and Indian WarBrian BlomgrenMentor: Thomas SturgisIn an oral presentation, I will analyze and discuss George Washington’s role in the French andIndian War and how it prepared him for future endeavors. More specifically, I will present abrief background of Washington’s early childhood and an in depth account of his service in theBritish army during the war. Using a power point presentation, I will show how the failures and12

learning experiences of the French and Indian War helped Washington to become the leader andcommander he was in the Revolutionary War and during his presidency.Business Practices in BarbadosPhilip Cooper and Lance ToomerMentor: Kraiwinee BunyaratavejThis poster presentation explores business practices in Barbados. Our presentation looks intoseveral different business sectors including hotels, dining and grocery, manufacturing, andbanking. During our visit in Barbados we gathered information by observing and experiencinghow Barbadians conduct business. Their operations tend to be a bit slower and more relaxed butthey are well developed.Italian History and CultureBrian David and Alex Dello BuonoMentors: Frank Gregory and Susanne FoxIn the spring of 2012, the History Department took a trip to the Italian peninsula. Before this trip,the students learned a great deal about the history and culture of the country of Italy. We willgive a brief overview of this class, as well as a brief description of the books we read. We willalso give a brief description of how much we learned on the trip itself, and why the experience oftraveling could not have been truly taught in a classroom environment alone. This presentationwill give a small insight into the history and culture of Italy, as well as highlight the importanceof traveling with the college.Coaching Certification as a Requirement for High School Coaches in DelawareMorgan RuppMentor: Diane StetinaThe purpose of this research is to gather and evaluate the beliefs of high school coaches in thestate of Delaware on requiring coaching certification for high school athletic coaches in the state.The study is considered to be phenomenological non-experimental action research with anempirical approach that is directly associated with the internship experience of the investigator.A purposive sample was selected consisting of 100 high school athletic coaches in the state ofDelaware to perform inferential research. The population for this study is defined as all highschool athletic coaches in Delaware. The coaches selected for the sample were chosen based onvarying factors such as experience level, classification, sport, age, and gender to obtain unbiasedobservations. The number of coaches selected was determined by the size of the DelawareInterscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA) conferences. An online survey was created togather the beliefs and perceptions of high school coaches on the issue of required coachingcertification. It is hypothesized that interscholastic athletic coaches will support the requirementfor mandatory coaching certification for all head and assistant coaches, regardless of schoolemployment status. Based on the results obtained from the coaching certification survey, theresearcher’s hypothesis was supported. A total of 80% of the respondents support the concept ofa coaching certification requirement and believe they would benefit from receiving certification,whereas the other 20% do not support it and do not believe they would benefit from completing13

coaching certification. In regard to the level of coaches that should be required to completecoaching certification, 90% of the respondents selected the head coach, while 70% also chose theassistant coachA Feasibility Study of Residential Wind PowerJessica SmallMentors: Bruce Allison and Jeffrey MaskWind energy, like solar energy, is a common type of renewable energy with diverse applicationsin residential, commercial and industrial sectors. The selection of a wind generator for aresidential setting is influenced by wind speed and constancy, the presence of obstructions andthe cost of the wind turbine and traditional energy. The objective of this study was to determinethe feasibility of installing a residential wind turbine in Dover. The Honeywell (ModelWT6500) wind turbine with blade tip power system, which produces 1500kW annually (Parsons1) was selected for the study. Energy use information and statistics from a Dover, Delawareresidential electric bill were used in the analysis. The estimated annual wind generation for theHoneywell wind turbine, Model WT6500, is 1500 kWh, which would reduce the average annualenergy use to 11,275 kWh. The annual total net electric charge would be 1,483.79 with a totalannual savings of 197.40. The City of Dover offers a residential maximum grant of 2,500, aswell as a 30% federal tax credit for small turbines, making the cost of purchase and installationonly 4,500. It would take a total of 22 years or less to pay off the turbine, making the proposedturbine feasibleRestorative JusticeLorrie FoyMentor: Elizabeth MarchioniThis presentation will define what Restorative Justice is, explaining the principles, processes,and underlying goals of its framework. The presentation will address who the key participantsare and the projected outcomes from the Restorative Justice approach. The presentation willthen review the components of the American Justice system, contrasting with what restorativejustice outlines its components to be. The presentation will then address the origins ofrestorative justice and what countries it has spread to. It then explains the four models used toimplement restorative justice. The presentation shares criticism of the restorative justice process;it acknowledges that restorative justice is not a magical solution for all evils, but has the potentialto change the basic course of the criminal justice system.Living under the DroneBrandon ReynoldsMentor: Cynthia NewtonCIA drones used in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas in North West Pakistan have killedover 3,000 people, including 411 children between 2004 and today. The two governmentsinvolved have differing claims. While the United States government claims there are agreementsin place with the Pakistani government, the Pakistani government asserts that this activity breaksinternational laws. This project contends that these activities violate both the UN charter andinternational law. It outlines a strategy the United States could use t

Barbados and the visit to the Barbados Central Bank, in particular, I will show how the government and the central bank can improve the economy. The four focus areas are energy, tourism, manufacturing, and foreign investors. Barbados has a made a strong push for
