How do you properly honor Pi Approximation Day (July 22nd – or 22/7)? You have a pie bake-off. Well, at least that’s what we do around here. There were 17 home-grown entries, and 37 very happy (and very full) voters. The competition was fierce. Some of us needed several servings to make sure we were tasting what we thought we were tasting. By the end of the tasting – uh testing – time, it was clear: only a few points… [continue]

Family and Friends Arduino-101
A Struggle as Old as Time Itself Since the dawn of time, mankind has been in a struggle to exercise wise dominion and good stewardship of the world around us. We hunted, then tamed animals. We learned to grow food. Somewhere along the way we took on leather, textiles, stone, metal, and gems (and so, the inspiration for Minecraft was born). Today, some young folk (and some less-young!) began a journey to wield dominion and stewardship over some Arduino boards… [continue]
High-Altitude Balloon Tracking System
E-gineering partnered with an education company to architect and build a software solution for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) students. The goal was to allow the students, faculty, and family members to track high-altitude weather balloons, which transmit data such as altitude, temperature, and location. This information had to be captured, saved to a database, and displayed on a map and a graph in near real-time. Social integration with each flight was also required. E-gineering addressed these challenges by… [continue]
Data Analytics
E-gineering partnered with a client to rebuild the reporting framework for their telephone voice response system. Their telephone response system functions differently than the traditional “voice mail” system of phone interaction and allows for a more natural and varied conversation with the user. As such they had some unique client data reporting requirements. The prior reporting solution involved batch processing production data every night to create Excel spreadsheets that were e-mailed out the following morning. While functional, the existing system… [continue]
Wellness Portal
Approached by a provider of health wellness services, E-gineering was asked to help revive a dormant application into a viable technology offering. The client provides integration to a number of wellness services including health/risk assessment, healthy living programs, and other wellness related services. Relying on E-gineering to assist in technical development and infrastructure issues related to the resuscitating of the offering, they were then able to accelerate business plans. This included upgrading to the latest version of the .NET framework… [continue]
Student Registration
E-gineering partnered with a student athlete governing body to build an online registration system for prospective student athletes. The goal was to create a registration system that students found interactive and engaging. This system needed to enable the collection of vital eligibility information while cultivating a relationship with student athletes during their pre-college years. E-gineering addressed these challenges by building a Rich Internet Application (RIA), with an intuitive user interface and student mentor videos. Our team incorporated a wizard-like workflow,… [continue]
International Registration
E-gineering partnered with an international pharmaceutical company and an expert group education company to build a web-based scheduling system for educator training sessions. The goal was to provide an easy way for international subject matter educators to obtain training on the use of an educational product. The solution had to be flexible enough to support multiple countries and languages, and enable the management of training sessions and resources. To meet these goals E-gineering constructed a highly dynamic and internationalized web… [continue]
