In this Multidisciplinary Action Project, the Haas Alert student team will assess the viability of vehicle manufacturers using “sponsorship” marketing dollars from companies interested in getting their brand in front of drivers in a safe, non-intrusive manner.

Leveraging his computer science training in a business setting will be a unique and valuable experience that will surely enrich his education in Computer and Information Sciences.
