Comfort Emeaba '26, mechanical engineering, recently received a 2nd place award for undergraduate poster presentations at the Emerging Research National (ERN) Conference, held at the end of March in Atlanta, Georgia. Emeaba won in the category of Technology and Engineering - Civil, Mechanical, and Industrial.
She presented the poster “Power in Motion: Hybrid Pendulum-Based Vibration Energy Harvesting,” based on the research she conducted in the Energy Harvesting and Design Optimization Lab (EDLab) under the guidance of associate professor of mechanical engineering Soobum Lee. One of the EDLab’s research objectives is to optimize the health monitoring process of wind turbine blades by developing a hybrid self-powering solution—piezoelectric and triboelectric pendulum mechanisms—for the monitoring sensor device. Emeaba’s project tests the feasibility of the power generation performance of the repeated back-and-forth motion of the pendulum mechanisms, which are driven by the change in gravitational direction when attached to a slow, rotational object similar to a wind turbine.
We congratulate her on this great achievement!
]]>Please be advised that a High Temp Hot Water outage is currently in effect and is expected to continue through approximately June 7.
During this time:
Temperatures in the RAC may be affected.
Hot water will not be available in the locker rooms.
In addition, if the pool temperature drops below a safe operating level, the pool will need to close temporarily. Any closures or important updates will be communicated as needed.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
]]>This session demonstrates how generative AI can support course design when embedded within a backwards‑design workflow. Rather than isolated prompting, faculty will learn to use AI iteratively to align objectives, assessments, and course activities. Participants will gain repeatable, model‑agnostic workflows for using Gen AI to augment design while preserving faculty voice and pedagogical intent.
UMBC's Faculty Development Center is co-sponsoring this workshop, facilitated by John Schumacher, Professor of Sociology, Anthropology and Public Health and a USM Generative AI Pedagogy Fellow for 2025-26. This workshop is a condensed version of The AI-Assisted Educator: A Course Design Sprint offered in January 2026.
