During the course of our ten-week program, we have been working with Dr. Jeffrey Herrmann on projects involving computer simulations. We have had two projects dealing with applied industrial engineering theories, Brooke Grove Clinic and Schroeder Industries.

Our first assignment was to read and understand the software Dr. Hermann and his team has created over the past five years. The Clinic Generator Software was created from results of numerous simulated vaccinations to help prepare local authorities in case of bio-terrorism or life-threatening infectious diseases. We used and tested the software after reading the user guide to make sure that there were no errors before the release of the new version. By testing the new version, we were able to help resolve problems such as the ability to open specific files on different computer systems.
