Dr. LaBerge Wins Prestigious Award
2022 winner of EUROCAE Global Harmonization Award
Dr. Chuck LaBerge, Professor of the Practice of CSEE
at UMBC and immediate past Chair of RTCA SC-222, has been named the 2022 winner
of EUROCAE Global Harmonization Award for his "commitment and excellent
contributions to EUROCAE WG-82/RTCA SC-222 New Air-Ground Data Link
Technologies." The award, which was
announced at the 2022 EUROCAE Symposium in Warsaw in April, 2022, was presented
on behalf of the EUROCAE Council by Mr. Al Secan, Vice President of RTCA, Inc.
at the quarterly meeting of the RTCA Program Management Committee on September
15, 2022. In his comments during the
original video presentation of the award in April, Mr. Secen commented on "[Dr.
LaBerge's] ability and skill in leading the committee through a rose garden
full of thorny issues."
Dr. LaBerge has participated in RTCA, EUROCAE, and
ICAO standards-setting activities since 1976, playing a significant role in the
development of more than 16 standards, plus nearly that number of revisions and
updates to account for changing technology.
These standards include those for all of the safety-related digital
communications used by modern airliners, including HFDL, VDL Mode 2, VDL Mode
3, Inmarsat and Iridium satellite communications for both data and voice. In addition, he was responsible for the
interference analysis that forms the basis for the standards that permit use of
WiFi onboard passenger-carrying aircraft.
From October 2008 through July 2021, he served as the chair of RTCA
SC-222 Aeronautical Mobile Satellite (Route) Service systems which developed
multiple standards (and revisions) for systems and equipment used " ... to ensure safety
and regularity of flight on national and international air routes." SC-222's work was conducted in collaboration
with EUROCAE WG-82 on New Air-Ground Data Link Technologies, chaired by Dr.
Armin Schlereth of the DFS (the German equivalent to the FAA.)
Dr. LaBerge is the recipient of the 2018 UMBC College
of Engineering and Information Technology award for Excellence in Teaching and
the 2020 University System of Maryland Board of Regents Award for Teaching
Excellence. He teaches a variety of
professional practice and communications-related courses in the Computer
Engineering program.
EUROCAE was founded as the European Organization for
Civil Aviation Electronics in 1963 with the object to develop standards for
European civil aviation. It plays an important role in coordinating European
and global standardization activities.
In recent years, an increasing number of EUROCAE Working Groups work
collaboratively with their RTCA counterparts.
RTCA was founded as the Radio Technical Committee for
Aeronautics in 1935, RTCA has provided the foundation for many modern technical
advances in aviation. An independent Standards Development Organization (SDO),
RTCA's comprehensive products serve as the basis for government certification
of equipment used by the tens of thousands of aircraft flying daily through the
world's airspace. In recent years, an
increasing number of RTCA Special Committees work collaboratively with their
EUROCAE counterparts.

Biswas presents on Freshwater Resources in Bangladesh
At the 11th Conference on International Perspective on Water Resources and the Environment, held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, January 4-6, 2023,
Nishan Kumar Biswas (617/UMBC) presented a talk on understanding the stresses on freshwater resources in Ganges Delta due to climate change and human impact using satellite observations. This conference was organized jointly by Environmental & Water Resources Institute, American Society of Civil Engineers and Institute of Water and Flood Management, and Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Dr. Biswas presented on this topic as a part of
NASA Earth Information System (EIS) - Freshwater, an open-science initiative. Part of his presentation focused on inland and coastal flooding in Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta, particularly in Bangladesh. During his visit to Dhaka, Dr. Biswas interacted with six government agencies to provide them with a better understanding of how they can benefit from NASA open-source models, datasets, and software.
We followed up with Dr. Biswas to learn more about his research and findings.
Q: How have the freshwater resources been affected in Ganges Delta, and in what year(s) have you seen particularly worsening conditions?
A: We have been seeing that the terrestrial water storage (TWS), or the amount of water stored in lakes, rivers, soil moisture and groundwater, has been decreasing over time. It mainly started happening when Bangladesh has promoted heavy and unplanned groundwater abstraction to expand the dry season cropping (around the 1980s). In the same region, we also found that precipitation is decreasing and with that the dry season discharge of major rivers. This scenario worsens after having sea level rise in the Bay of Bengal, which is pushing the saltwater edge to the inland due to a decrease in the availability of upstream freshwater resources.
Q: In your presentation, what kind of human impact are you referring to?
A: Within the country, extensive and unplanned irrigation in many parts is the major human impact we have been seeing. The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna basin is so big, and only 7% of the watershed area lies within Bangladesh, the most downstream country. So, the impact of upstream dams/barrages and other natural flow regulation activities that disrupted the flow of the transboundary rivers are also considered as the human impact. Groundwater resources along with surface water have been decreasing and saltwater is being pushed; thus, access to drinking water has been hampered in the southwest part of the country. Shifting from agriculture to aquaculture in the southwest region has been impacting the country's recent agricultural production.
Q: How can the use of the NASA EIS benefit the decision makers in Bangladesh?
A: From the use of NASA datasets and software, the country can benefit in two ways. First, using all the remote sensing datasets, the relevant agencies can detect the key hydrological changes and take steps accordingly. For example, from MODIS satellite-based annual land cover maps, we found that the coastal land loss from 2000-2020 is around 500 km2. From the MODIS Leaf Area Index (LAI) dataset, it was observed that the dry season cropping (locally known as "Boro") has increased significantly across the country. The second and the ultimate benefit from NASA EIS that Bangladesh can gain is a relative quantification of impact due to climate change and human impacts. This will help the government to understand that the impact has been caused by human activities across the delta, and they can take actions to minimize further impact on currently available freshwater resources.

Extra credit & exemptions come to Ultra assessments in Feb
New functionality enhances Ultra courses in time for SP2023
In early February, instructors will have the option to help students showcase their knowledge on assessments with
the new extra credit setting. With this feature, instructors can assign one or more extra credit questions to their assessments, giving students the opportunity to earn a higher score. If students chose not to answer, or get the answer wrong, they won't be penalized. Moreover, students can see how many extra credit points are available on the assessment before they begin.
Image 1: Example of extra credit (student view)
Exemptions are another exciting update to Ultra courses.
Exempting students from a graded activity can be used for a variety of reasons including earlier demonstration of prior knowledge, late entry into the course, and other special circumstances. Exemptions may also support flexible and inclusive learning experiences.
Image 2: Example of exemption within an assignment
Hotspot questions were
introduced to Ultra last year, providing multiple ways to create robust image-based assessment questions. With this update, instructors can use the polygon selector to draw more complex shapes. Additionally, keyboard controls help instructors create and place hotspot shapes on the image via keyboard rather than using a pointer and mouse.
Additional updates to Ultra for February include:
- A new sorting option in the gradebook list view, allowing faculty to easily identify items that need grading
- Options for students to sort graded items in their view of the gradebook -- for example, by due date or grades
- Clear information about group membership in group sets (e.g., more than one group created at the same time) to easily identify which students are in specific groups
- To better visualize students' progress with course content, instructors can change the progress tracking view to display a student's progress against all course content or only content that is visible to them. Additionally, any time a student views an Ally alternative format, the progress tracker will count that as viewed or completed.
The next update to our Ultra test environment will take place on February 7, 2023. Faculty who are interested in test driving new features before they are released to production should open an RT ticket to request early access. Additionally, our Ultra feature tracker is updated and now includes a filter for functional category (e.g., assessment, course management, grading) so you can sort only those items you might be interested in tracking the status. Please watch the FAQs, including the What's New with Ultra page, and myUMBC for additional information about Ultra.
As always, if you have any questions about teaching, learning, and technology at UMBC, please consider the following options:
Welcome back Retrievers! CNMS Advising is excited to have everyone back on campus and we are eager to help you tackle the spring semester! Whether you are starting your first semester here or aiming to cross the stage this May there are many important things to keep in mind in order to make this semester your most successful to date! Check them out below:
1.) The CNMS Advising Office will be holding walk-in office hours for advising support
Mo-Th 10AM-12PM & 1PM-3PM in UC 205. If you are a new/incoming student please feel free to drop by at any time. Returning students should follow up with their assigned advisor (see here). Advisors can assist with schedule adjustments, registration troubleshooting, and general questions. Walk-in advising support is on a first come, first served basis and may result in a lengthy wait time during busy hours. Scheduled in person and virtual appointments can be arranged via email (
CNMSAdvising@umbc.edu).
These specific walk-in hours will only be in effect during the schedule adjustment period (see below).
2.)
The last day of schedule adjustment (i.e. last day to add/drop/swap your classes) is Friday, February 10th. Make sure that you are happy with your classes, that you are FULLY registered for a minimum of 12 credits (if you need to be a full-time student), and that you have established a balanced plan for the semester. Feel free to
check in with your assigned advisor if you have any questions/concerns. First semester students can follow up with
CNMSAdvising@umbc.edu for support.
3.) Take some time to update your record!
Check your myUMBC account to determine/confirm your declared major(s). If your record does not accurately reflect your plans you can submit an updated
Declaration of Major Form HERE. When completing the form, be sure to declare/ADD your new major intentions as well as remove/DELETE any unwanted programs.
Keep an eye out for this month's CNMS Advising Newsletter which highlights important dates, upcoming workshops, campus support staff, and helpful tips to help you SPRING back into heathy academic habits from day one!
