location.Team Building The decision to undertake the Solar Splash design project at USCGA rested squarely onthe students’ shoulders. The project was attractive to the cadets because of its applicability to aseagoing service and its use of technology which is pertinent to present real-world problems. The design team for the 1996 Solar Splash competition consisted of seven engineeringstudents from the Mechanical Engineering Department and one faculty member as projectadvisor. The respectable design and performance of the 1995 design and the limited time forproject completion provided the rationale for the 1996 Solar Splash design team to use theoriginal hull. However, modifications to the internal components and slight hull alterations

Introduction Biometrics, the science of reading measurable, biological characteristics of an individualin order to identify them to a computer or other electronic system1, has become a very popularfield of research. In recent years advancements in technology have made researching biometricsless expensive. Facial recognition, in particular, has become a field in which establishing aresearch environment has become much simpler. Current
