  1. Visit the Settings page in your Box account
  2. Click the download button above Get Box Sync for Mac/PC
  3. Follow the on screen instructions to install Box Sync.
  4. Once the app is installed, enter your full UMBC email address in the Account Information box.

  5. Select the option to Use my company's single sign on credentials. (View the screenshots below for the location of the option.)

  6. A new window should open, prompting you to log in using the myUMBC WebAuth screen.
  7. After you have logged in, your Box Sync app is now configured.

 

Files and folders you choose to sync will be saved locally to any computer that you have configured the Box Sync app on.

In order for files sync to your desktop you will need to enable syncing on the folders you wish to sync.

Qualcomm's Research & Development team in San Diego has a number of cutting edge projects lined up for next summer and will hire 20+ interns on their team during Summer 2013. The opportunities below are just a section. See the complete list here.

Intern Context Analysis and Reasoning (Qualcomm Research San Diego)

QUALCOMM Research is looking for highly motivated and self-driven systems engineering interns to work on challenging problems related to context awareness on mobile platforms.

Job Function

Mobile phones have transformed from being a communication device to smart and powerful personal computing platforms. Over recent years, with a wide variety of sensors available on smart phones, there has been an exploding interest in context aware applications that use sensor information to infer user situation and interest. These applications utilize different types of hard sensor data (such as GPS, WiFi, accelerometer, gyro, Bluetooth, pressure sensor, etc.) and soft sensor data (such as user calendar, user profile, data from social networks such as Facebook posts and Twitter feeds) to infer user situations and provide a useful service.

QUALCOMM Research is looking for highly motivated and self-driven systems engineering interns to work on challenging problems related to context awareness on mobile platforms.

Responsibilities

Positions are available in the following areas: Situation Inference on Mobile Devices

The goal of this intern project is to research algorithms for inferring user situations from smartphone sensor data. This involves developing machine learning and probabilistic graphical models to fuse low-level inferences from multiple sensor streams. The intern will work on developing techniques and on-device algorithms.

Always-On Context Awareness

Since context is fundamentally 24/7, one of the key challenges is to enable situation inference that is always-on, or “in the background,” and to do this within the power requirements for background tasks. The goal of this intern task is to analyze context aware algorithms and smartly optimize them for execution on QUALCOMM smartphone platforms.

Privacy

The goal of this internship task is to develop a framework for privacy in smartphones that provides a good tradeoff between the amount of private data collected and utility of the application. The intern will look into different aspects of privacy in smart phone and examine approaches to: (1) include privacy aspects into sensor data collection and inferences made from different types of data, (2) incorporate privacy in data models and ontologies, and (3) automatically learn user preferences and user privacy settings for different context aware applications.

Skills/Experience

Seeking candidates with strong background in one or more of the following areas:

Qualcomm's Research & Development team in San Diego has a number of cutting edge projects lined up for next summer and will hire 20+ interns on their team during Summer 2013. The opportunities below are just a section. See the complete list here.

Intern Context Analysis and Reasoning (Qualcomm Research San Diego)

QUALCOMM Research is looking for highly motivated and self-driven systems engineering interns to work on challenging problems related to context awareness on mobile platforms.

Job Function

Mobile phones have transformed from being a communication device to smart and powerful personal computing platforms. Over recent years, with a wide variety of sensors available on smart phones, there has been an exploding interest in context aware applications that use sensor information to infer user situation and interest. These applications utilize different types of hard sensor data (such as GPS, WiFi, accelerometer, gyro, Bluetooth, pressure sensor, etc.) and soft sensor data (such as user calendar, user profile, data from social networks such as Facebook posts and Twitter feeds) to infer user situations and provide a useful service.

QUALCOMM Research is looking for highly motivated and self-driven systems engineering interns to work on challenging problems related to context awareness on mobile platforms.

Responsibilities

Positions are available in the following areas: Situation Inference on Mobile Devices

The goal of this intern project is to research algorithms for inferring user situations from smartphone sensor data. This involves developing machine learning and probabilistic graphical models to fuse low-level inferences from multiple sensor streams. The intern will work on developing techniques and on-device algorithms.

Always-On Context Awareness

Since context is fundamentally 24/7, one of the key challenges is to enable situation inference that is always-on, or “in the background,” and to do this within the power requirements for background tasks. The goal of this intern task is to analyze context aware algorithms and smartly optimize them for execution on QUALCOMM smartphone platforms.

Privacy

The goal of this internship task is to develop a framework for privacy in smartphones that provides a good tradeoff between the amount of private data collected and utility of the application. The intern will look into different aspects of privacy in smart phone and examine approaches to: (1) include privacy aspects into sensor data collection and inferences made from different types of data, (2) incorporate privacy in data models and ontologies, and (3) automatically learn user preferences and user privacy settings for different context aware applications.
