<Title>Environmental Justice Internship (MD State Gov)</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>OVERVIEW:</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Maryland Department of the Environment is seeking a student intern to work on <span>environmental justice (EJ) initiatives related to quality communication with communities and </span><span>other stakeholders. The primary objectives are (1) to assist a student to complement his/her </span><span>academic career with work-place experience, (2) to formulate a pilot program focused on </span><span>environmental justice and community outreach, (3) develop and edit communication pieces </span><span>regarding EJ and communities, and (4) assist with upkeep of the EJ portion of the MDE website. </span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>INTERNSHIP: </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The internship will be an unpaid, credit bearing academic/work related experience. The intern is <span>expected to work at least 10 hours a week on the project over the course of the semester. </span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>PROJECT GOALS: </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>MDE would like an intern to research and develop a community outreach tool for communities <span>affected by various environmental issues. </span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>1. Pilot Project: This will be a pilot project implemented in a few communities. The first <span>phase of this project will be to research how different communities prefer to receive </span><span>information, i.e. community meetings, community newsletters, etc. The second stage of </span><span>the project will focus on consolidating and analyzing this research while developing a </span><span>tool for surveying communities about their interests and preferred methods of </span><span>communication. In the third stage of the project, the student will implement the survey </span><span>tool to determine the preferences of the various pilot communities and then analyze the </span><span>results. Ultimately, the Department would like to be able to use this tool repeatedly as </span><span>communities express interest in projects and/or issues of concern.</span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>2. Assist the Office of Environmental Justice &amp; the Office of Communications in editing, <span>drafting, and revising brochures for stakeholders about MDE programs and processes </span><span>as it relates to EJ. </span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>3. Attend policy meetings to observe and recommend ways to address and improve EJ <span>policy at the Department. </span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>SUPERVISION: </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>This internship would primarily be supervised by the Environmental Justice Coordinator at MDE; <span>however, the student would also interact and work with the Air and Radiation Management </span><span>Administration at MDE, the Office of Communications at MDE, and the Commission on </span><span>Environmental Justice and Sustainable Communities (CEJSC). </span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>HOW TO APPLY: </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Please email a cover letter and resume to Lisa Nissley, Legislative Liaison &amp; Environmental <span>Justice Coordinator, <a href="mailto:lisa.nissley@maryland.gov">lisa.nissley@maryland.gov</a>.</span>

    <p>New emerging “smart plugs” embed a micro-controller and low-power communication device that allows you to monitor the power consumption of individual devices (e.g., microwave, coffee machine, laptop) plugged into power sockets, and communicate such power consumption information over a wireless network to a central monitoring station. Such devices could lead to substantial savings of energy &amp; money by enabling Internet-based monitoring &amp; real-time control of the behavior of individual appliances.

    <ul>
    <li>Develop Smart Circuit Breaker — i.e., to lessen the burden of the user of plugging each and every appliance/device in the building with a smart plug; we will investigate connecting multiple devices together with an individual smart plug/smart circuit breaker and design a smart circuit breaker using energy metering chip (ADE7753), AC/DC power supply, Microcontroller with radio (TI MSP430F16 and Cypress Powerline Communications (PLC) modem) and solid state AC relay (Sharp S216SE1) etc.</li>
    <li>Profile individual devices — i.e., use NILM (non-intrusive load monitoring) data analytics algorithm on the time-series of power consumption traces to infer the type of plugged-in device (e.g., distinguish between a laptop &amp; a coffeemaker), thereby building a dynamic catalog of the types &amp; number of devices connected by a consumer.</li>
    <li>Predict the power consumption of individual rooms — i.e., using the past history of the power consumption of individual devices to create predictive inferences of the usage patterns for individual devices (e.g., learn that the individual switches on a dehumidifier for ~3 hrs every Thu).</li>

    <div>The BreakingGround Community Program Committee works with UMBC faculty, staff and students creating innovative, educational social change projects. One of the projects we have supported this year is Project Insight, a research project in the Upton/Druid Heights community led by UMBC undergraduate and graduate students. Project Insight's goal is to gather residents' perspectives on what helps and hinders their healthy eating within their home, immediate family and neighborhood, and identify ways that the Upton/Druid Heights community and the UMBC community can support older adults in maintaining a healthier diet...

    <div class="html-content">
    <p><span>This seminar course will combine
    readings, written assignments and class discussions in order to help students
    explore the interface between science and spiritual beliefs. Classes
    will consider examples and insights from multiple disciplines, including
    biology, psychology, mathematics, philosophy, music, art, history and more.
    This course will not debate religion versus science; instead it will explore a
    variety of different relationships that other minds have advocated over the
    years.  In particular, the course will NOT seek to introduce any one
    particular view as correct: instead, students will be encouraged to develop a
    scholarly context for their own, personal view of the relationship between
    these two ways of experiencing our place within reality.</span></p>
