LocalLocator
No full textGetting approval for anything can be a nerve racking and irritating process. This is especially true when there is ambiguity about who needs to be contacted. For electricians who are ready to work, not knowing who to contact about a specific worksite is a regular occurrence that can be especially frustrating. LocalLocator is a mobile application that is designed to address this issue by centralizing contact information. Across the country, states are organized into locals, where jurisdiction and authority are given to union leaders. When beginning to work at a new site, electricians must communicate with and receive approval from the local in which the job site is located. Up until now, electricians had to work out on their own which local to contact. LocalLocator is designed to allow users to simply search the address of a worksite in a map-like interface. The worksite along with boundary lines will be displayed on a map. Through this interface, users will be able to clearly understand where the searched location lies. After processing the search, LocalLocator will provide the website of the local that that worksite falls under. Once there, users can request approval and begin working, thus eliminating the irritating and inconvenient process of figuring out who to contact

A* is Born
No full textAs a kid, this student was passionate about mazes and trying to solve them as fast as possible. When he was younger, he learned that by following the right wall in any given maze, he will eventually reach the end. However, mazes are not always fun, and if you follow this trick, it almost feels like you are somehow cheating. With A* is Born, this will no longer be an issue. A* is Born allows users to always find the shortest possible path in a maze, while avoiding obstacles. To demonstrate the A* path finding algorithm properly, Webots, a desktop application that uses digital robots and environments is implemented using Python. The maze is used as unknown environment for the robot to traverse. A* is Born allows its users to find the shortest possible path not only in a maze, but in any possible 2D or 3D environment that could be virtually recreated
Roasting Ethics with Luvell Anderson

If you’ve ever watched a Comedy Central Roast, you know that there’s a variety of ways to insult someone.

Power, Pleasure, and Privilege: defining DePauw’s hookup culture and its mental health implications
Get PDFHookup culture is not primarily about sex, pleasure, connection, or freedom. Hookup culture is about power—how power is used, distributed, and desired. Previous work in hookup culture discusses a discourse of desire; however, the root and nature of this desire are unclear. I posit that hookup culture, as it currently exists, is strongly related to rape culture. In this thesis, I will explicate my anecdotal, qualitative, and quantitative evidence supporting this hypothesis.
This thesis provides an overview of what hookup culture is at a broad level. It then focuses more specifically on defining it at DePauw and considering the impact it is currently having on students\u27 mental health
