Congratulations to Ph.D. candidate Naresh Poudel, from Dr. Meilin Yu's lab, on receiving a Journeyman Fellowship from the Army Research Lab.

The fellowship will support Naresh in his research on the investigation of nonlinear flow physics of flapping wings in unsteady ambient flow environments at low Reynolds numbers, which most birds, insects and small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) maneuver or operate at. The research will advance our understanding of unconventional flapping wing aerodynamics in unstructured flow environments caused by atmospheric shear or complex terrains, and provide a theoretical foundation for aerodynamic design of future UAVs. 

If you are interested in applying, please visit ARL's website, the requirements are here.

The National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students has named Dr. Danyelle Tauryce Ireland, associate director of CWIT and research assistant professor of Engineering & Computing Education, a 2021 Transfer Champion Rising Star. The award honors her years of mentoring and advocating for UMBC transfer students in information technology and engineering fields.

“My professional background has been in K-12 education and some of my first experiences supporting students in higher education have been with the Transfer Scholars in IT and Engineering (T-SITE) program at UMBC,” says Ireland. “I identify as an educational scholar-practitioner, so to be recognized for my impact in service of students, and to have a former T-SITE Scholar contribute to the nomination process, was especially validating.”

As UMBC faculty prepare for spring, they are reflecting on lessons learned from a primarily online fall 2020 semester. In UMBC’s College of Engineering and Information Technology (COEIT), this means honoring teaching fellows and teaching assistants for their role in making sure courses met student needs.

“I think anybody’s goal, in any sort of class, is to provide the highest quality, most optimal experience to our students,” said Dr. Jamie Gurganus, instructor in the mechanical engineering department and COEIT’s associate director of engineering education initiatives. Along with colleagues across the university, she worked through the summer and fall to help faculty provide students with “safe, thriving online environments” to learn.

This is a repost on behalf of our colleagues at Office of Equity & Inclusion. Original post here.

Balancing Inclusion and Free Speech
Wednesday, January 27
4pm, via Webex

What is our role in protecting free speech as a public university?
What should I do if I see or hear content that does not align with my values?
What is the difference between free speech and hate speech?
Is hate speech protected?
Can I be disciplined for my speech online? What about in a classroom?

Help us start a community discussion about the challenges of balancing our shared commitments to free speech and equity and inclusion. 

Please share your thoughts and questions when you register for the event.

Original post here.

The National Day of Racial Healing is on Tuesday, January 19th, 2021. This annual observance was first introduced by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation on January 17th, 2017 and has been celebrated every year since. The goal of the day is to promote racial healing and equity through collective action. To learn more, visit https://healourcommunities.org/about/

As a Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Campus Center, we are honoring the day by welcoming you to join our letter writing campaign regarding the Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) Congressional Resolution, also known as S. Con. Res. 50.  Introduced by Senator Cory Booker, this concurrent resolution calls for the establishment of a United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT). 

Through our letter writing campaign, we encourage you to voice your thoughts on the TRHT resolution by writing letters to your senators. During the first hour of the event, you will have the chance to learn more about the resolution as well as the TRHT work that is happening on campus and in the surrounding community. The last 30 minutes will be an optional space for you to work through the thoughts and experiences that you would like to include in your letter with the facilitators.
