military has problems in sorting out all the data available oninsurgency for strategic purposes. To be effective in their strategic plans, themilitary needs a way to ask questions of insurgency information and receiveimmediate responses.The Engineering and Psychology departments at Morgan State University (MSU)in collaboration have developed an Insurgency Information Framework (IIF). AnIIF is a logical structure for organizing, classifying and presenting complexinsurgency information for military decision making. The IIF is developed byanalyzing and modeling the answers to questions such as: 1) How areinsurgencies planned for and what is the process? 2) Does insurgent behaviorprovide any insight into their future plans or actions (i.e., are

Students completed the design, obtained approval from the customer (the nonprofit trailgroup), and obtained approval from local and state governments. Because this was a capstonecourse, students were required to demonstrate knowledge and skills they acquired during theirfour-year degree program. As such, they created the blueprints of the new design, estimated costsand materials, scheduled the construction, and fulfilled the role of project manager.
