Malum Terminus Technologies, Inc. AFX20D-TCSO1-0393 Leveraging Next Generation Artificial Intelligence to Improve Readiness Malum Terminus Technologies, Inc. (MTTI) is an artificial intelligence (AI) startup exclusively licensing IP developed by the Iowa Technology Institute (ITI) under a 3 year ONR Code 30 effort that demonstrated success predicting athletes’ musculoskeletal injuries (MSK-I) an ...

The VP3D Immersive Workforce Education Program will serve a dual purpose for DoD and commercial aerospace companies to maintain a qualified workforce by accelerating job preparedness, improving skills, validating qualifications, supporting technician career advancement, and better monitoring training progress. VR training value in the spray finishing career field will increase demand for new produ ...

This project will fully develop NEWTON-AR, an augmented reality (AR) application-based engineering, computer science, and STEM puzzle game for children in kindergarten to grade three. Intended for use in classrooms, after-school programs, and at home, NEWTON-AR will combine AR, engineering, simulation, making, and programming into a sandbox game where students create, modify, simulate, prototype, ...

The team will develop a prototype of an augmented reality (AR) sandbox with foundational learning experiences in engineering and computer science for students in kindergarten to grade 2. The prototype will embed puzzle challenges within the AR interface to facilitate experiences that will mirror traditional real-world play-building activities. At the end of Phase I, in a pilot study in three class ...

A model will be developed and validated for electronic transport calculations using a highly accurate, predictive electronic structure code that currently produces electronic structure, optical absorption, radiative and Auger recombination rates for InAs/InAsSb strained-layer superlattices from 5K-300K. The approach will use the novel formulation of Auger recombination pioneered at U. Iowa which d ...

The primary objective of this project is to improve the light extraction efficiency of large-format mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) superlattice light emitting diode (SLED) arrays for infrared scene projector applications. While SLED technologies have shown great promise for scene projectors, their full potential has yet to be realized due to both electrical and optical inef ...

DESCARTES is a game-based engineering environment where students design, test, and build projects, including boats, airplanes, and other models. The web-based student-facing environment will include challenges, topic introductions, tutorials, and tools for analyzing and improving projects. Following completion of a concept in the environment, students will then build and test real world prototypes ...

This project team will develop and test a prototype of Descartes, an online game and simulation platform for design-to-build engineering projects for students in grades 4 to 7. The prototype will include a virtual workspace for students to create and test models. Students will apply learning to design a boat using engineering principles, and the prototype will incorporate a 3D printer to create a ...

Video Demonstration of the Phase I Prototype: http://youtu.be/P716_x5KhPk Purpose: This project team will develop and test iASK, an app intended to assess and support increased word recognition among middle school students who struggle to read. The 2013 National Assessment of Education Progress reported that 66% of middle school students scored below proficient in reading, and 22% scored below ba ...
