Description
The emphasis of this thesis is to build an intuitive and robust Web Application for the CITER (Center of Industrial Training and Engineering Research) Department of San Diego State University. The web application provides an overview of the department's research work also includes the key members involved in the research that supports the CITER structure and enhances collaboration between industrial partners and SDSU's Engineering departments, faculty members, undergraduate and graduate students with engineers and staff scientists of local industry. Through industry funded projects and scholarships, the students get first-hand training in an industry environment and are ready to join the workforce upon completion of their studies. The web application is developed using HTML5, PHP to make a connection to SUN OS via Shell Scripts to execute MATLAB scripts hosted over the SUN OS Platform, and to generate images from data files for the horizontal and vertical velocity field near a temporally evolving boundary layer under surface the solitary wave. The user interface, as well as the language, was intentionally kept simple and easy to use, to broaden the potential audience. To keep the user engaged in using the web application, key aspects are provided in the web application that eliminates the need of using a standalone MATLAB environment to generate the output image plots using HTML pages.
