Hands-on research opportunity in IS about Computer Access Relevant programming skills include PERL and shell scripting Dr. Amy Hurst in Information Systems is looking for students to help analyze a pre-existing dataset of real-world pointing data. Data from this analysis will be used to better understand pointing problems individuals with motor impairments experience when using a computer, and build systems to accommodate their needs.
Students will test pre-existing computer vision software to analyze screenshots of real world computer interfaces. Depending on interest and skill, students may also work to help design new computer vision techniques to analyze data, or design a database to hold multiple types of information gathered about pointing data.

Project Details and Eligibility Requirements
 
Status and Compensation: Open to both undergraduate and graduates students in Information Systems or Computer Science. Undergraduate students can do this research for credit as IS400 or 469; Masters students can register for IS/HCC 700; and PhD students can register for IS/HCC 801.

Skills: Students with programming knowledge is required. Relevant programming skills include PERL, shell scripting, and image analysis (OpenCV). Computer vision, machine learning, or MySQL experience a plus.

Deliverables: Students will be required to post their progress on this project to a blog, write a 4-page paper at the end of the semester, and publish code they develop as open-source.

Time Commitment: Students interested in working on this project should be willing to commit 10 hours a week. Work time will be flexible, but the student will be expected to attend group meetings and meet with the advisor once a week.

Expected Duration: This project will take place during the Fall 2011 semester, and may continue into the Spring semester.

This project explores how we can empower people to build, customize, and modify their own assistive technology.

Students working on this project will design, build and/or evaluate new Assistive Technologies. Depending on student interest, they may write software, build hardware, or use other prototyping methods. Interested students may learn User-Centered Design methods by working with people who rely on Assistive Technology to identify problems and design appropriate solutions.

Undergraduate students can do this research for credit as IS400 or 469; Masters students can register for IS/HCC 700; and PhD students can register for IS/HCC 801.

Skills: No required skills, but experience or interest in Arduino, 3D modeling, User-Centered Design and  crafting a plus. Depending on the project, students will have access to 3D printers, Laser Cutters, and other rapid prototyping tools.

Deliverables: Students will be required to post their progress on this project to a blog, write a 4-page paper at the end of the semester, and make all of their designs open-source.

Time Commitment:  Students interested in working on this project should be willing to commit 10 hours a week. Work time will be flexible, but the student will be expected to attend group meetings and meet with the advisor once a week.

Expected Duration:  This project will take place during the Fall 2011 semester, and may continue into the Spring semester.

When and how did you find out that you could do independent research work as a UMBC undergraduate?
Well, coming to UMBC I knew that there were plenty of undergraduate research opportunities for interested students. All it was going to take was sifting through the opportunities and pursuing the ones that were extremely enticing. I began looking for research laboratories in my freshman year and eventually I found the perfect fit.

How did you find a mentor and decide on a project? How did you know this was the project you wanted to do?
My principal investigator Dr. Janice Zengel has been one of my most influential mentors here at UMBC and it is thanks to her that my ambition was able to turn into actual research. When I first joined Dr. Zengel’s laboratory she helped me to develop my own project that I would be able to work on during my undergraduate research career. I currently work on this project independently with the guidance of Dr. Zengel.

What academic background did you have before you started on this research?
I started working in this laboratory the second semester of my freshman year so my class background was just really some introductory science classes. However, I believe my excitement and ambition towards science really helped me to solidify my spot in this research laboratory.

What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
I believe that anything can be achieved through hard work and if you truly feel that getting involved in research is something that you want to do then you should pursue the opportunities that are offered. It is never too early to position yourself for an even better future.

What are your career goals?
I eventually plan on receiving my MD/PhD and I am particularly interested in the fields of cardiology and oncology.
