Creating An Interdisciplinary Learning Community Between Two Cross-Departmental Courses, Krista Mcbride, Maggie Monteverde
Creating An Interdisciplinary Learning Community Between Two Cross-Departmental Courses, Krista Mcbride, Maggie Monteverde
Faculty Scholarship Symposium
An Interdisciplinary Learning Community (ILC) consisting of two cross-departmental general education courses has been created. Advantages to linking these courses will be presented. Further, the assignments and course material used to make this learning community successful will be presented. Challenges to developing and evaluating shared assignments for such linked classes will also be discussed. Finally, student feedback will be shown from students enrolled in these courses, which illustrate the positive effects blending these two classes had on the student’s learning experience. As an example, an ILC between a general physics course and a literature course will be introduced.

Visualizing The Spread Of Western Music Throughout The World Using Big Data, Dakota C. Cookenmaster
Visualizing The Spread Of Western Music Throughout The World Using Big Data, Dakota C. Cookenmaster
Campus Research Day
Music, perhaps the most prevailing form of art throughout the ages, has impacted the world in countless ways. Due to the vast magnitude of published musical compositions, it is difficult to comprehend the full extent of how Western music has spread from Europe to the rest of the world. Our contribution is a presentation of the history of music throughout the ages, highlighting the countries of publication by year since the 15th century. Our visualization also exhibits the top 10 most prevalent composers within the British Library, with additional information such as the composers’ number of works and lifespan.
Developing A Discrete Event Simulation Model To Overcome Human Trafficking, Sydney Meier
Developing A Discrete Event Simulation Model To Overcome Human Trafficking, Sydney Meier
UNO Student Research and Creative Activity Fair
Human trafficking is a complex issue that affects society and the global economy. This societal problem involves the commercial exchange and exploitation of people through forced labor, domestic servitude, and sex trade. Human trafficking is considered the third most profitable organized crime in the world. By analyzing the flow of monetary gains/resources, information and trafficked people from the perspective of traffickers, police force, and advocacy organizations, this research aims to develop a discrete event simulation model to represent this complex system. The following paper describes the developmental process of acquiring data and creating a base model. While the model is …
3d Procedural Maze & Cave Generation, Jacob Sharp
3d Procedural Maze & Cave Generation, Jacob Sharp
Student Scholar Showcase
The goal of this project is to generate a maze or cave procedurally so that a player may be able to explore infinitely without a reoccurring pattern. The project also utilizes Virtual Reality (VR); the user will be able to put on a VR Headset and become more immersed in a procedural environment. One of the challenges that needed to be overcome was simple random number generators did not generate natural looking worlds. Introducing VR to the project created the additional challenge of preventing the user from becoming motion sick. These challenges were both addressed through many hours of research …
Death Arena Game, Ryan Deasy, Nick Snan, Albert Anderson, David Cole, Shahzada Aqib Gill
Death Arena Game, Ryan Deasy, Nick Snan, Albert Anderson, David Cole, Shahzada Aqib Gill
Student Scholar Showcase
Death Arena is a 3D first-person action shooter with a horror twist. The player has 30 seconds to collect guns and health before a monster spawns. The map will be large with indoor and outdoor play. In each round a more powerful boss spawns with minions. Our goal is to appeal to horror and action fans alike.
Design For Safety: Decreasing First Responder Health Risks Through Real-Time Bio-Sensor Alerts, Suzy Fendrick
Design For Safety: Decreasing First Responder Health Risks Through Real-Time Bio-Sensor Alerts, Suzy Fendrick
UNO Student Research and Creative Activity Fair
The focus of this research project is using the Design Thinking process to create an informative dashboard for first responders. Design Thinking involves empathizing with the user, defining the problems to be solved, ideation, creating prototypes, and testing. This iterate process focuses on the user, resulting in the most effective product possible. The dashboard will display real-time biosensor data from sensors in the first responders’ uniforms. This project is part of a larger project with the goal of vastly improving the safety of first responders during emergency hazardous material incidents.
Early College High Schools: Achieving The Dream Of College For Urban, North Texas Students, Wendy N. Jasper
Early College High Schools: Achieving The Dream Of College For Urban, North Texas Students, Wendy N. Jasper
National Youth Advocacy and Resilience Conference
Tarrant County College, an Achieving the Dream Leader College, has created an environment at its district that has made an Associate’s Degree attainable for students in the county’s most challenged high schools and may provide ideas for outreach and recruitment to those interested in developing an Early College High School within their home institution.
The Property Of Mass: An Interdisciplinary Metaphysical Investigation, Benjamin Hayworth
The Property Of Mass: An Interdisciplinary Metaphysical Investigation, Benjamin Hayworth
UNO Student Research and Creative Activity Fair
The property of mass as used in the physical sciences is somewhat of a metaphysical conundrum. Not only has the definition of mass changed with various paradigm shifts in physics, but the powers belonging to the property have also varied. In my study, I begin by examining the historical context surrounding the term, including the changes to its definition. In doing so, it is revealed that various definitions of mass are used and circulated in general discussion, so a cogent criterion of identity is established by which each definition can be measured. After determining the distinctions between each mass term, …
Session E-1: Hiding In Plain Sight, Micah Fogel
Session E-1: Hiding In Plain Sight, Micah Fogel
Professional Learning Day
Were the plays of William Shakespeare really written by Francis Bacon, who left a coded signature in plain sight? Can spies send messages without using codes and without getting caught? Steganography is the art of hiding messages in plain sight but in a way so that only those in on the secret can find them. We'll learn a few tricks about how to hide messages in pieces of text or sound and image files on a computer.
