Popular code interview questions for practice Hi NSBE members!

For those of you gearing up for technical interviews, below you'll find a compiled list of practice problems from us that has been helpful with getting started:

Leetcode Problems

In addition to this, it is recommended you review Dynamic Programming material, and focus on Bottom-Up techniques. And then Practice Graph or Tree Searches and Traversals as these questions are generally used to trip you up in interviews. We recommend using python as your primary language for coding assessments.

UMBC ACM Chapter

Modeling and Assessing Association by Comparing Spatial Heterogeneity

Measuring spatial association between different spatial layers is important in spatial data modeling. Traditionally, the relationship between variables can be measured by linear regression. The assumptions of those traditional methods are hard to meet in the spatial data. Also, the traditional statistical methods do not consider Tobler's First Law of Geography which is an important spatial data property. To address these drawbacks, I propose a spatial data association estimator (termed as SPatial Association DEtector, SPADE). By comparing the spatial heterogeneity, this estimator, which evolved from a variance-based relation estimator, explicitly considers the spatial variance by assigning the weight of the influence based on spatial distribution. It also overcomes the drawback of its old version which can only measure the association between continuous and discrete variables.

This method has been applied to estimate the influence of the environmental factors and their outcome (e.g. junction angle and environmental factors). The associations between environmental factors and junction angles have been used to infer the paleoenvironment of Mars; they showed that Mars was probably "warm" and "wet" several billion years ago. The method could also be used in human geography and social science to estimate the importance of spatial factors and their outcome.

Dr. Xuezhi Cang graduated from Northern Illinois University with Ph.D. degree in Geography. His research and teaching focus on Mars Geomorphology, Spatial Analysis, and Geographic Information Systems. He is currently a Postdoctoral Scholar at UMBC.

December 3rd is the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities, honoring the United Nation's commitment for promoting the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities - more than 1 billion people worldwide are in this demographic, the world's largest minority. The day raises awareness of the political, economic, social and cultural aspects of disability that affects people around the world. 

The theme for 2022 is transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fueling an accessible and equitable world.  The theme reflects recent consideration of the impacts of COVID-19, climate change, and the invasion Ukraine. More information about the UN Virtual New York Commemoration event, including registration is linked here.

UMBC is recognizing this important day with the screening of the documentary, I Didn't See You There on Monday December 5 at 4p in Admin 101 (link) - please join us for this award-winning film, which will be followed by discussion/Q&A.


Working toward an accessible future is everyone's responsibility. As a campus, we engage together to create a future which insists that people are not needlessly excluded due to health conditions that create substantial limitations in how people engage with the world. Report barriers when you encounter them - at UMBC our accessibility concern form is available 24/7 to report any issues that arise: https://accessibility.umbc.edu/report-campus-accessibility-concern/.

UMBC's Accessibility & Disability Services partners with the entire campus community -departments, groups, and individuals - to overcome barriers. Student Disability Services  is a resource for all students with disabilities.

If there is an accessibility concern on campus - report it via this linked form.  With Facilities Management maintenance or repair reporting - the best, first step is to report it to Work Control via 410-455-2550 or Workorder@umbc.edu.  For residential hall repair conditions, non-emergencies can be reported to http://fxit.umbc.edu, and emergencies can be called in to the FXIT line: 410-455-3948.

Hello! My name is Natalia Alfaro and I am a Senior Public Health major here at UMBC. I am also a Career Peer at the UMBC Career Center. Did you ever wonder what we Career Peers do? I would love to tell you!

As a Career Peer, I am a source of advice for career resources guidance and a conversational guide for those with no experience with resume writing. One of my main responsibilities is to provide feedback to students on their resumes and cover letters during our daily drop-in hours.  I advise students on professional document formatting, efficiently communicating their accomplishments, and understanding the technical aspects of resume and cover letter writing. 

I also present Career Center workshops. This means collaborating with various student organizations and classes to provide students the opportunity to learn about the resources provided by the Career Center and details about the job search process. Workshop topics can range from learning how to pick a major to job search tips to learning how to navigate networking platforms like Retrievers Connect and Linkedin, and more. 

Being a Career Peer is a very enriching experience. I have learned a great deal about professional resume writing and career development via interacting with students and direct training from the Career Center staff. I have also been able to learn how to better my own career goals by using the various resources available from the Career Center and attending networking events. Before becoming a Career Peer, I would not necessarily have accessed as many Career Center resources; however, this opportunity has empowered me to feel confident in my abilities and has given me skills to network and begin my path to achieve my career goals. 

I highly encourage students to go to the UMBCCareer Center website to learn more about resources on major tools, networking  and more! For help or if you have any curiosity in seeking resume review support there are a few options:

  1. Express Drop-in services hours are anytime Monday-Friday from 2:00pm to 4:00pm (last student seen at 3:45pm) in the Career Center, Math/Psychology building, 201. 

  2. Schedule a Virtual Express Resume Review. These are held from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Tuesdays. Schedule inHandshake or via theCareer Center website

  3. Schedule a resume review with the Internship & Employment or Career Specialist teams.
