Interpretation of Federal Acquisition Requirements (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Requirements (DFAR) for a Government Contractor Veach, Laura J. The DLA Automaster is a document comprised of a selection of FAR and DFARS clauses, commonly incorporated into federal contracts awarded by DLA purchasing entities. Actions required to ensure fulfillment of these contractual requirements vary depending on the specific organization performing the work and the nature of the work itself. This Plan B project involved the interpretation of the individual clauses of the DLA Automaster and delineation of the effects of the clauses on Rex Systems Incorporated, a small, veteran-owned business specializing in the manufacture of short-run, high-reliability electronic assemblies and subassemblies for the Department of Defense. Thorough analysis of these clauses required an evaluation of the defense contracting industry, review of a limited number of precedent cases to gain insights from a legal standpoint, and consideration of the company’s own internal procedural documents. Documents resultant of this project are intended to assist the employees of RSI in the interpretation of contracts incorporating the DLA Automaster clauses and to help ensure the company’s fulfillment of contractual requirements.

Finding Aid for Bonnie Duchac Papers, 1956-2019 (bulk 1974-2009) Duchac, Bonnie This collection includes Bonnie Duchac’s student projects and professional papers from her time as a UW Stout student and later as a Family & Consumer Education teacher. Bonnie Duchac graduated from The University of Wisconsin-Stout in 1973 with a B.S. in Home Economics Education and a B.S. in Clothing Textiles & Design with emphasis in Adult Education and Avocational Educational Interests. After her graduation, Bonnie Duchac worked as a Family & Consumer Education teacher at Elcho Junior High School and Elcho High School in Elcho, Wisconsin from 1973-1974. From 1974-2009, she worked as a Family & Consumer Education teacher at Lincoln High School in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, where she developed a new Occupational Food Service program. In 1982, she received her M.S. in Home Economics Education from UW-Stevens Point. She retired from teaching in 2009 and has since been a member of the Family, Career & Community Leaders of America Foundation Board.

Reflections on the Costs of College Blumer, Markie L.C. This poster explores undergraduate students’ experiences with the actual costs of college, highlighting gaps between anticipated and lived expenses. Through a qualitative self-study by four undergraduate researchers, findings reveal hidden financial, social, and health-related costs, particularly for working-class students, and a disconnect between public perceptions and student realities. The study emphasizes the need for greater transparency about college costs and increased institutional support for students.

Ultra-Scaled Tellurium Nanowire Growth for Next-Generation Microelectronics Tveit, Natalie The purpose of the study is to develop a growth recipe for producing nanowires. Tellurium (Te) is a promising replacement for the current material, silicon, used for transistors. The growth process of tellurium starts with 1D nanowires and progresses to 2D nanoflakes.[1] This project aims to adjust the key factors in a growth recipe to increase the production of 1D nanowires.[2] It was determined that a growth temperature of 130℃, growth time of 3 hours, and 0.026 grams of PVP were the best factors for nanowire production. In addition, a MATLAB-based code was developed to automatically determine the yield of the tellurium nanowires through image recognition algorithms, enabling high-throughput, fast-turnaround identification of Tellurium nanowire growth quantity.
