Free Arduino workshops, 2-6pm, Sat 4/9 and 4/16, ITE239, UMBC

arduino

The Arduino microcontroller is a great device for anyone who wants to learn more about technology. It is used in a variety of fields in research and academia and may even help you get an internship. Our instructors have used the Arduino for researching self-replicating robots and remote-controlled helicopters, hacking into a vehicle’s control system, and using radars to detect human activity in a room. Some of the hackathon projects by our IEEE members include developing a drink mixer that wirelessly connects with a Tesla Model S and a full-body haptic feedback suit for the Oculus Rift. The Arduino is a wonderful tool and is fairly easy to use. Everyone should learn how to use it! If you plan to do research, this tool is definitely a must.

UMBC’s Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is hosting two Level 2 workshops this semester. They are hosted this Saturday, April 9th, and next Saturday, April 16th. These workshops will be ITE 239 from 2pm to 6pm.  These intermediate workshops are open to anyone who satisfies one of the following: (1) has taken or currently enrolled in CMSC 202 or CMPE 212, (2) has taken the Level 1 Arduino Workshop or (3) has equivalent experience.

You can  register here for either workshop. Contact Sekar Kulandaivel (Sorry, you need javascript to view this email address. ) if you have any questions.

You only need to bring your laptop and charger and download and install the Arduino IDE, which can be downloaded from here. We hope to see many of you this weekend and next! You REALLY don’t want to miss out on this opportunity.

UC Ballroom | 10:00 a.m. – Noon Learn more about Fragile X Syndrome by Astrocyte cells use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to transfer signals. This process is suggested as a novel therapeutic target in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), one of autism’s few known genetic causes. Our aim is to develop a carbon fiber electrode aptamer-based sensor capable of single cell and in vivo measurements of ATP to determine the release mechanism and spatial location of ATP. Aptamers are short nucleotide sequences that select for target analytes and translate binding into an electrochemical signal. Carbon fiber is very robust, enabling sensitive measurements while eliminating background processes like oxygen reduction that plague existing measurements. We are developing the linkage chemistry to covalently attach the aptamer to the carbon surface. Specifically, we have electrochemically grafted several compounds (4-aminobenzoic acid and ethylenediamine) to the surface of glassy carbon electrodes and have found 4-nitrobenzene diazonium is best suited for further development. To test for successful grafting, we have employed the positively charged hexaammineruthenium (III) chloride (RuHex) as a redox reporter. Using cyclic voltammetry, changes in observed peak current caused by electrostatic repulsion of RuHex with the grafted electrode surface report on the grafting’s success. With the attached diazonium, we are now poised to fabricate our aptamer sensors on carbon surfaces.

Name: Emily Kranking

Internship, Co-op or Research Site: Port Discovery Children's Museum

Position Title: Education & Community Enrichment Intern

Major(s)/Minor(s): Media & Communications Studies, Creative Writing (minor)

Expected Graduation Year: May 2016


Briefly describe your internship, co-op,  or research opportunity, including your day-to-day tasks, responsibilities, and assignments.

What is great about my job is that I'm working with children, but still doing real-life projects that apply to my career. For example, in the morning, I do fun activities with the kids, such as making bookmarks or jewelry with them. Then afterwards, I would be writing a script for an exhibit, thinking of new ideas for activities, designing new signage, or researching facts for an exhibit.


Describe the process of obtaining your internship, research, or co-op opportunity.

I went on the Port Discovery website and downloaded an application. I heard back 2 months later for an interview and got the job a couple of weeks later!


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

The flexibility of the work. I love kids and I have wanted a job that involves working with them. But, at the same time, I wanted a creative job that can put brand new works in my portfolio. With this internship, I can do everything that I love. I can send in professional scripts & copy written stories and designs when I apply for jobs and internships for post-college while I build up my relationship and leadership skills while entertaining kids.    


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

Definitely by working with the kids. Kids get excited about everything that comes to them. When you give them something, they get so focused on it and they love to show off their creations or say how fun they are having with big smiles on their faces. You can just tell how happy they are.


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

Be patient when you are waiting to hear back. The hiring director might email you in an hour or even in a few months. Just breathe.

For years, Apple inc. has led the frontier of communication and management technology. The corporation has brought us countless remarkable products in the past decade, including the iPhone, the iPhone 2, the iPhone 3, and the iPhone 4S, each one only slightly thinner than the last. All of these devices are prefect for the 21st century American hobby-- switching between the same three apps for five hours on end while playing episodes of Grey’s Anatomy in the background in an effort to fool any passersby into thinking you haven’t lost all control of your life to a small silicon chip.  And who could forget MacBooks? Because of them, every post-secondary school student has the opportunity to write long, uninteresting parody news articles on a small, fragile keyboard hastily put together by the tiny, malnourished hands of a nine-year-old Chinese boy. Yes, Apple thought of everything. Until now.

This past Monday afternoon, Apple added a new product to its line of cellular commode-ities: the Diephone. Aesthetically, it’s completely identical to the iPhone 5. It also has all the same features and runs the exact same software as the iPhone 5. But there is one minor difference. The DiePhone features “Drain You”, a non-removable program that serves no purpose whatsoever, but runs in the background constantly. This reduces expected battery life by an impressive 50-60% of what it would have been without the program. But that’s not why they call it the DiePhone. The mobile device has a secret feature that was announced just hours ago on Apple’s website-- you can use the phone to communicate with dead people. The company has no idea how the feature was added, but the effect was discovered when an intern was screwing around with the prototype and accidentally dialed the number of former president Richard Nixon. To the intern’s surprise, Nixon answered and shortly thereafter attempted to coerce the intern into breaking and entering into the Watergate Hotel in Washington that evening. Old habits die hard.

UMBC and U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) faculty researchers presented updates on five collaborative cybersecurity projects funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) during the inaugural USNA-UMBC Partnership Symposium, hosted by UMBC’s Office the Vice President for Research on March 22, 2016. The five projects presented are supported by three-year grants from the ONR, most of which are entering their second year of funding.

When the joint research initiative launched a year ago, Karl V. Steiner, vice president for research at UMBC, described it as “the start of a long-term partnership.” The recent symposium was the first formal opportunity for the research teams to formally present their progress on tackling major cybersecurity challenges outlined when the partnership began.
