Show moreIPRO 310 is continuing into its fourth semester of creating devices to assist the millions of blind and visually impaired people in the United States to swim independently and without sustaining injuries. Due to the size of the team, now and in the past, IPRO 310 divides itself into 3 subteams. The three sub‐teams are the passive sub‐team, the active sub‐team, and the research sub‐team; which this year has become the business plan/EnPRO sub‐team. Though we meet as a single IPRO several times a week, most of the work done outside of class will be in separate teams. Because of the great differences between each segment of the project, each sub‐team has devised their own plan. The passive team will first present their plan to create a large device that can be installed into a pool to assist blind and visually impaired swimmers. Following that, the active team will present their plan to create a small device that can be worn by a blind and visually impaired swimmer to warn them about obstacles. Lastly, the business team will present their plan to devise a business plan to start a successful start‐up business by using the device that the passive team is working on.

Show moreDr. Ophir Frieder and Dr. David Grossman have completed a draft manuscript for an introductory book on Computer Science. The impulse behind this book is dissatisfaction with the way introductory computer science is currently taught. To our knowledge, there has yet to exist a text that focuses on semantic and algorithmic issues, rather than purely syntactical. Most students get bogged down by the intricacies of the programming language itself, which hinders their problem solving development. This book, in contrast to its many predecessors, will use the Ruby programming language. The language offers some good pedagogical aspects and this is couple with the fact that it is also becoming extremely popular in industry (e.g. 37Signals, as featured in BusinessWeek). By using Ruby, the team aims to aid students in learning semantic and algorithmic issues rather than the syntactical problems they face when learning other languages such as C++ and Java. In Fall 2007, the IPRO developed problem sets with solutions for the book, improved its examples, and developed sidebars. This semester, the IPRO will focus on testing the book with students new to computer science

Show moreRecently, Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods have been implemented in a reliable adaptive algorithm. This raises the possibility of combining adaptive QMC with efficiency improvement techniques for independent and identically distributed (IID) Monte Carlo (MC) such as control variates (CV). The challenge for adding CV to QMC is that the optimal CV coefficient for QMC is generally not the same as that for MC. Here we propose a method for imple- menting CV in a reliable adaptive QMC algorithm. One merit of using CV with MC is that theoretically the efficiency is always no worse than vanilla MC. Our method is implemented in an efficient way so that the extra cost for CV is tolerable, and the overall time savings can be substantial. We test our algorithm on various problems including option pricing and mul- tivariate normal probability estimation for dimensions from 4 to 64. The same tests are performed on adaptive QMC algorithm without CV as a comparison. Our results show that with good CV, the cost of adaptive QMC is greatly reduced compared to vanilla QMC.

Show moreEfforts to increase minority hiring rely on having a large pool of qualified minority candidates. The current study examined the effects of police department reputation (as reflected in news stories), workforce demographics, and community demographics (i.e., the proportion and segregation of minorities in the community) on minority representation among applicants to police jobs, as well as adverse impact on a police selection test. Only negative department reputation predicted test score, although it was not related to adverse impact. However, the size of group differences did vary significantly across police departments. Implications for future research and for practice are discussed.

Show moreThe importance of creative thinking in science cannot be overstated. Creativity is integral to the development of knowledge about the natural world and the knowledge, skills and abilities that support it are in need of greater understanding. The Next Generation Science Standards (2012) include practices that implicitly emphasize the creative thinking in science that students should develop by the 12th grade. These science practices were utilized in a framework to explore a group of secondary science classrooms in order to investigate potential relationships between classroom variables and student creative thinking in science. A measure of scientific creative thinking (Hu & Adey, 2002) was used with 284 student participants from 21 different classes, six different schools and from seven different teachers. Students’ performance on a pre to post-administration of the measure was compared against case studies that were developed of each classroom to determine trends. Those case studies were developed across one semester using 2-3 observations per class per semester and the collection and analysis of teachers’ labs and other instructional materials. The outcomes of a pre to post-administration of the measure, when coupled with the case studies, suggested three distinct trends in relationships between classroom variables and students’ scientific creative thinking. These trends: originality in the use of scientific tools, originality and variety in the development of scientific questions, and the role of context in the development of original, engineering-type design tasks are discussed in the context of research on creative thinking in science and in the science practices in the Next Generation Science Standards (NRC, 2012).
