Barrett, The Honors College Thesis/Creative Project Collection
Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.
Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

The stability of cheerleading stunts is crucial to athlete safety and team success. Consistency in stunt technique contributes to success in stunting skills, giving a team the tools to win competitions. Increased stunt technique reduces the chances of falls and the severity of those falls. Proper technique also prevents injuries caused by improper positions that place pressure on the lower back and shoulders. Bases must maintain strong technique with proper lines of support in order to maximize stunt stability. Through exploration of the EmbeddedML system, involving a neural network implemented using a SensorTile, cheerleading motions can be successfully classified. Using this system, it is possible to identify motions that result in both weak and injurious positions almost instantly. By alerting athletes to these incorrect motions, improper stunt technique can be corrected quickly and without the involvement of a coach. This automated technique correction would be incredibly beneficial to the sport of competitive cheerleading
