Building An Evidence Informed Board Game
Presenter: Ashely Pereira
Mentors: Kerri Evans (Social Work), Jiyoon Lee (M.A. TESOL Program, Department of Education)

Abstract:
Immigrant students in grades K-12 face a host of barriers that can hinder academic success which school staff members can help to reduce. For this reason we have begun the development of an evidence-based educational game to be used as a training tool for K-12 train educators, administrators, and school counselors. To develop the game content, the student RA’s helped Dr. Kerri Evans and Dr. Jiyoon Lee to conduct both a systematic review and a qualitative content analysis of newspaper articles to identify factors that support or hinder the academic success of immigrant students. Both of these articles are in preparation for publication. Some emerging themes include the following: language acquisition, student acculturation, access to resources (on the micro, mezzo, and macro levels), dominant culture attitudes, and social support. Though this project is still in development, there are some important advancements that will contribute to producing this training tool. Identifying these factors will contribute to the growing body of resources that educators, administrators, and counselors can utilize to better support immigrant students and contribute to their success.

A Parametric Analysis of the Number of Conditional Discriminations Taught Concurrently to Children with ASD
Presenter: Courtney Arrington
Mentor: Mirela Cengher (Psychology)

Abstract:
Many children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have delayed academic and language skills. Behavior analytic intervention typically involves teaching a predetermined number of skills at a time to remedy the aforementioned academic and language delays. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal instructional arrangement for preschoolers diagnosed with ASD. We taught participants to label things in the environment under three conditions: (a) three concurrently taught labels (set size three), (b) six concurrently taught labels (set size 6), and (c) 12 concurrently taught labels (set size 12). We collected data on the duration of training, percentage of correct responses, and number of incorrect responses during language training per condition. Our study is underway; however, previous research suggests that set size 3 and 12 may be the optimal sets for learning. The outcomes of this study will inform the selection of most effective and efficient instructional arrangements for children with ASD.

Stay connected via Linkedin
Let us know what you're doing now and share an update here.

Mike graduated from Perry Hall High School (Baltimore County) in the Class of 2005, and joined UMBC that Fall on a Baltimore County Chamber of Commerce Full Scholarship. He majored in Chemical Engineering (GPA: 3.75) and graduated from the Honors College in 2009. During his time at UMBC he participated in a variety of activities, including: living on the Honors College Floor for two years, creating the "Biodiesel Project" (a club that made biodiesel at a local farm using waste vegetable oil and did some related research on campus), singing in the Gospel Choir, organizing a Bone Marrow Registration Drive (+475 sign ups, he later donated bone marrow in 2020), performing research/work on campus in the labs of several faculty (Dr. Daniele Fabris, Dr. Brian Reed, Dr. Upal Ghosh, and Dr. Mariajosé Castellanos), presenting at URCAD, volunteering at St. Agnes clinics, and having a fantastic experience overall. 

After graduation from UMBC, Mike biked across the United States with two other UMBC alumni and a then current UMBC student, to raise money for safe water. During his gap year, he worked as a research associate at UMB Shared Services Facility.

In Fall 2010, he attended Lehigh University for graduate school, where he earned his master’s and doctorate in environmental engineering. He earned a Fulbright Scholarship while at Lehigh and lived/researched in India from 2012-2014. While in India, he co-founded Drinkwell in 2013 with two other co-founders. Drinkwell is a water solutions company based in India and Bangladesh to solve the arsenic and fluoride crisis that was related to his PhD research on innovative ion exchange nanomaterials. Today, they serve up to 300,000 users per month across the Indian subcontinent. Mike finished his PhD in 2017 from Lehigh University and continued working with Drinkwell - overall he lived in India, Bangladesh, and his suitcase for three years. 

Since 2018, he has been primarily based in Brooklyn, NY doing consulting work. Today, he works for Revel and supports their rapid expansion after their recent $126M Series B investment round. Revel's mission is to accelerate EV adoption in cities by providing the infrastructure and services that make it easy to go electric.

ProAesthetics: Changing How We View Prosthetic Function
Presenter:Susanna Abler (INDS/Visual Arts)
Mentor: Foad Hamidi (Information Systems)

Abstract:
When it comes to functionality, much progress has been made in mechanical and bionic prosthetic limb capabilities but less work has been done in improving the available cosmetic options for amputees. Individuals who have limb deficiencies found that they often experienced distress or a disconnect with their prosthetic limb due to its appearance and some eventually abandoned their limbs due to this disconnect (Sansoni, 2015). This research project showed how the involvement of the amputee in the cosmetic design of their limb influenced how they perceive their limb and gave it a renewed purpose outside of mechanical constraints of function, which emphasized the need for co-designing in assistive technology. Five lower-limb amputees were interviewed for a case study regarding their personal cosmetic desires for their limbs. Data from these interviews shows a variety of aesthetic interests as well as a varied understanding of what is available cosmetically for lower-limb prosthetics.

Project Snowman: A Snow Rolling Adventure Game

Presenters:Evan McRae, Jacob Pickholtz, Noah Reardon, Shane Taylor
Mentor: Marc Olano (Computer Science and Electrical Engineering)

Abstract:
A game where the player takes the role of a snowman’s head and rolls around various levels in search of the rest of its body. Like a rolling snowball, the snowman’s head grows in size as it rolls on snowy ground and eventually can become big enough to destroy obstacles in the environment. Players must navigate their surroundings and reach the snowman body at the end in enough time to complete each level, earning extra points along the way for the amount of destruction they cause. This game was developed using the Unity game engine and required a collaborative effort to learn the coding techniques that allow the player character to move, grow larger, and interact with the game world. Development also required the ability to design a functioning user interface, knowledge of 3D modeling tools to build game objects and environment pieces, and the creation of a system to implement smooth-transitioning background music into the game, which itself was composed specifically for the project.
