Themes in Of Mice and Men - The American Dream
Themes in Of Mice and Men revolve around the American Dream, where individuals aspire for better lives and opportunities for success. The characters in the novel long for independence, stability, and the chance to achieve their goals. The concept of the American Dream, as defined by James Truslow Adams, is explored within the historical context of the story, questioning its attainability for characters like George and Lennie who harbor dreams of owning a farm and being their own bosses. As they strive for their version of the American Dream, various other characters, such as Candy and Crooks, also seek to be part of this shared vision of a better life.

Environmental Laboratory Informatics and Management System Team LabRats Julian Bell, Remy Brandriff, Maria Granroth Mentor: Jun Rao
Julian Bell Team Leader Communications Remy Brandriff Architect Webmaster Maria Granroth Document Editor Meet the Team
Background NAU s environmental engineering labs offer services to teaching, research, and special projects Biotechnology and microbiology Construction Transportation Water and soil Data coming out of these labs These labs use specified equipment and materials that can be potentially harmful and hazardous without proper organization and procedure, which is currently lacking
Client Terry Baxter, PhD Graduate of University of Kansas, Lawrence (1988) NAU faculty since 1993 Associate professor in Environmental Engineering Previous capstone mentor
The Issues Currently... No organization Lack of coordination Conflicting uses Potentially hazardous There are potential conflicts in integration with existing systems and protocols that must be kept in mind during planning and development, as well as future applications
Solutions Simplifies and integrates the existing process Preserves face-to-face component Works with the existing Environmental Health & Safety and ITS systems Extensible Robust inventory system Needs to be able to be easily updated by ITS Potentially used for commercial purposes by CENE in the future
Development Plan Meet with client to walk through the existing process (keep fleshing plans out) 1. 2. Work out request system 3. Start interfacing with BioRaft 4. Integrate with inventory system a. Chemical inventories, others, if possible Correspond with ITS to figure out their requirements
Summary Original process ITS Request system? correspondence Start interfacing with BioRaft Inventory integration
Conclusion The problem: The lab management system doesn t cut it Safety standards Planning Improvements need to be made for longevity of system The plan: Build a robust web app to handle these requests Sufficient inventory system for multiple purposes ITS can keep maintaining the app for future years Commercial avenues
