The RAC will be closed to users for the holiday break beginning on December 20, 2019. Construction will be underway when the campus reopens on January 2, 2020. 

During this eighteen month construction project, the front lobby will remain the primary access point for the building and the elevator will be operational. The fieldhouse portion of the building, which includes the track and the basketball arena, will be closed until the end of February 2021. At least two basketball courts, a weight room, a group exercise room, and locker rooms will remain open throughout the renovation; please check signs in and around the building for directions.

A pool will also remain open throughout the renovation, though access routes will change periodically. For initial construction activities (December 20, 2019 - March 31, 2020), there will be no interior connection to the pool; instead the pool lobby doors on the Sondheim side of the building will serve as the pool access point. 

The Facilities Management project page will be updated regularly and will include construction information on phases, timelines, accessible routes, and operations. You can also join the Facilities Management myUmbc group to receive updates. We anticipate completion of this project in July 2021. 

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to improve recreation facilities for the UMBC community.

Check out his internship with Tennessee Tech. University.

Name: Felix Dogbe

Internship, Co-op or Research Site: Tennessee Technological University 

Position Title: Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Research Intern

Major(s)/Minor(s): Computer Science

Current Class Level: Senior

Work Term: Summer 2019

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

My research was about exploring security vulnerabilities in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and IoT (internet of things) devices. As we all know, many people believe AI is the perfect machine for image recognition, computer vision, deep learning, and our daily activities. But, have you ever wondered what if the result we receive from the machine/AI is wrong even when we feed in the right data? My job was to prove the AI wrong. Using the convolutional neural network, the generator produces data instance which goes through the discriminator. The discriminator decides on its authenticity which either rejects the data or processes it. For instance, when a counterfeit $100 bill is passed through the system, the discriminator identifies and rejects the bill. Based on the reason for rejecting the bill, l make another $100 bill with modified features that goes through the discriminator again and again until the discriminator accepts the data. 

Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

I saw the opportunity in an email to the undergraduate CS mailing group which was sent by Dr. Mohamed Younis. I applied at the end of January because the deadline was during the first week of February. I visited the Career Center to have my resume checked and took advantage of the Writing Center since I had to submit a statement of purpose as part of the application process. I was offered the position somewhere in mid-April after I had an interview over Skype with a couple of professors at Tennessee Tech. 

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? 

I most enjoyed the learning experience and the opportunity to join a team of researchers in undertaking the project. It was an eye opening experience into the field of AI as l learned from experts in the field of computer vision, deep learning, neural networks and more. I also had a fun time during my stay in Tennessee and participated in a wide range of social activities including cliff jumping, caving and a tour to the Oak Ridge Laboratory.  

How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

Most modern goods and services either directly or indirectly accommodate computer systems and information technologies for use in their production processes. We all use computers/IoT devices on a daily basis, and l believe the research work in the security vulnerabilities of AI/IoT will affect the mass market. These potential cures have the ability to impact large numbers of people and allow them to safeguard their systems.

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? 

Do your best to apply and take advantage of the resources at your disposal such as the Career Center and the Writing Center. There's no crime in trying, so at least try to apply! Also, networking in your field of interest is really important, so network and talk to people everywhere you go.

·  Update your resume - Regardless of where you are in your job search or college track, use this spare time to create or update your resume.

·  Analyze last semester and make adjustments - Take time to reflect on last semester as a whole – your academic life, your social life, health, finances, job, and so on. What worked for you? What didn’t?

·  Find a short-term internship - Put your time off to good use with a short-term internship. Inquire about internship opportunities during break at your Career Center.

·  Earn college credits - Finish 15, Graduate in 4, knock out a class during the winter holiday. Winter Session 2020.
