The project will develop methods (application) for combining user input with publicly accessible information in a manner that enables familial relationships spanning multiple consanguineous generations and connecting them with associated affinal relationships to produce a spatially optimized visualization of the resulting family tree. The method and subsequent visualization allow for an unlimited number of family trees to be connected and superimposed based on affinal relationships. The method enables affinal relationships to be easily added to a consanguineous family tree providing an efficient method for illustrating extended and even distant familial relationships.

 
 

About

Our mission is to help bring the real-world into the classroom by providing engineering students with practical hands-on experience through industry-sponsored and client-based capstone design projects. Since its inception, the Learning Factory has completed more than 1,800 projects for more than 500 different sponsors, and nearly 9,000 engineering students at Penn State University Park participated in such a project.
