Overview of and Introduction to the ASEE and the Northeast Section Conference

The 2016 Northeast Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education

(ASEE) was held at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, RI, from April 28th through 30th.

Over 500 people registered for this year’s event, topping the estimated 300 attendees at 2015’s

conference hosted at Northeastern University in Boston1. 286 submissions were accepted; many

were presented in Friday’s poster sessions or during one of the various paper presentation events

held on both Friday and Saturday. An awards dinner on Friday evening highlighted the strongest

presentations and also recognized faculty achievements; attendees were treated to two speakers at

this time.

The theme for this year’s conference was “Revolutionizing Engineering Education.” Emphasis

was placed on interdisciplinary work and the constant need for well-planned growth and change,

notions highlighted by the ASEE’s president during his Friday evening speech.

Each year, a different university hosts the ASEE Northeast Section conference. Every five years,

a Zone 1 Conference replaces its Northeast Section counterpart; the last Zone 1 Conference was

hosted by the University of Bridgeport in 2014.

The ASEE was founded in 1893 as a nonprofit dedicated to expanding engineering education and

technology. They work with both professionals and professors to foster increased opportunities at

the local, national, and international levels; they are committed to engaging students and fostering

connections by providing opportunities, such as the 2016 NE conference, for students, professors,

and professionals to meet, connect, and display their work.

Thursday, April 28th, 2016

The conference commenced on Thursday afternoon with a welcome reception and registration

session at the University of Rhode Island’s Alumni Center. Though more than 500 people

registered for the conference, many did not arrive until Friday morning, when the student poster

sessions began. No panels or presentations were held on Thursday.

Friday, April 29th, 2016

Friday, the main day of the conference, began with a second registration session and continental

breakfast for attendees while students arrived and set up their posters. Because of the number of

entrants, the students were separated into two groups: graduates and undergraduates, with each

filling their own building on the URI campus.

A total of 547 papers and posters were submitted to this 2016 Northeast Section Conference. Out

of those, only 268 were accepted for publication or presentation. A full list of UB’s posters and

papers can be found in Appendices II, III, and IV.

Undergraduate Poster Session

Hosted in the same building as the registration desk, the undergraduate poster session was the

starting point for many attendees. A total of 117 posters were on display, with 13 of them submitted

by UB students. They covered a variety of topics, from Anqi Liu’s research titled, “Design and

Simulation of a 3-Input Microfluidic Droplet Mixing Dispenser” to Rashid Alsuwaigh’s low-cost

smart home system utilizing Raspberry Pi. Students presented for a number of judges, with each

poster receiving attention from a minimum of five to create a fair and well-judged contest.

A number of ASEE Northeast section schools were represented in the undergraduate posters,

ranging from Connecticut universities such as UB, Quinnipiac, and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy

to colleges as far away as Maine, with students representing the University of Southern Maine in

Portland.

Career and Graduate School Fair

Adjacent to the undergraduate poster session was the Career and Graduate School Fair. Organized

by track and session chair Bethanie Pinkus from UMass, students had the opportunity to talk with

representatives from eleven different New England colleges, including Tufts University in

Massachusetts, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, the University of Maine, and

UConn. While the judges made their rounds and listened to poster presentations, current and

prospective students had all morning to learn about local universities and the programs that they

offer.

Graduate Poster Session

Just down the road from the undergraduates, the graduate poster session took place in the Alumni

Center, encompassing three rooms. A total of 75 posters were on display, with an impressive 61

from UB students. Because of this, the atmosphere was warm and friendly as UB students shared

this esteemed presentation opportunity with their fellow classmates and friends. Other colleges

represented in the graduate poster session were Fairfield University, the Worcester Polytechnic

Institute, and the University of Rhode Island, among others.

Kasinath (R) take a photo break in front of their poster on an autonomic, future Internet.

A working lunch was offered in both the graduate and undergraduate locations for students, judges,

and other attendees. With the entire morning session dedicated to student posters, there was ample

time to examine each one. No other speakers were scheduled during this time.

with Mohammed Aymen Lpizra, creating a collaboration between UB’s electrical and computer

engineering departments. Right: Prithi Donthola (L) and Lavanya Vuligonda (R) presented research on the

analysis and detection of gait balance using an application for smart phones.

Industry Exhibits

Adjacent to the graduate poster session, the industry exhibits occupied the patio of the Alumni

Center during this morning session, taking advantage of the warm spring weather. Students and

attendees had the opportunity to interact with representatives from eight different companies, such

as SCHOTT North America, COMSOL, Inc., MathWorks, and the northeastern section of the

American Nuclear Society. At these exhibits, attendees could network and ask questions. Many

students took advantage of the chance to meet interact with the representatives and better

understand the role engineering plays in each of these businesses.

Afternoon Sessions

The afternoon sessions were diverse and covered a number of topics. At 1PM, eight different

panels began in the academic buildings at URI. Attendees could choose between multiple sessions

of student paper presentations, an ABET workshop, simulation workshops utilizing MathWorks,

Abaqus ® FEA, and COMSOL Multiphysics, and an effective teaching workshop. A second round

of student paper presentations began at 3PM.

During the first round of student papers, UB students presented a total of eight to an audience

comprised of fellow students, interested attendees, and session chairs. Susrutha Babu Sukhavasi

and Suparshya Babu Sukhavasi presented a PowerPoint slide explaining their research on VLSI

circuits and dual rail encoding. These same students presented a second paper in a different session

shortly after their first.

Later in the same session, mechanical engineering student Abhinay Suhas Todmal detailed a fully-

automatic water bottle filling and capping plant, a presentation that was followed by Muhammad

Fahim Uddin’s ongoing Ph.D. project intended to predict users’ future decisions. Using OCEAN

traits as well as data from social media, his algorithm will help users predict the best career path

and lower the number of students who change their majors or return to school for a different

subject, though it was still a work in progress as of his presentation.

In the second round of papers, UB students had an additional two presentations. Pooja Gupta,

Annapoorna Manohar, Veena Priyanka Kaluvakolanu, and Muhammad Fahim Uddin collaborated

on a project that used big data analytics to fix issues in education. The second paper, on Zone

Routing Protocol and its application in vehicular adhoc networks, also had four authors: Aishwarya

Madalapa Bhoopathy, Steve Richard Ebenezer Amalorpavaraj, Vignesh Mandalapa Bhoopathy,

and Mohamed Ben Haj Frej.

A full list of UB paper presentations can be found in Appendix IV.

Awards Ceremony

At 4PM, students gathered in the University Club for the awards announcements and an informal

pizza dinner to wind down. For many, this would be the final event of the conference before

departing for their home university. Among these were many of UB’s students, who carpooled on

a bus organized by Dr. Navarun Gupta.

Awards were given for the top four papers at both the undergraduate and graduate level; six

honorable mentions also accompanied each category. First place received $300, second place

$200, and third place $100. The honorable mentions were presented with certificates. UB students

earned 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place in recognition of their hard work at the graduate level, as well as four

of the six honorable mentions. All of the students whose papers and posters were accepted had

their work published in the conference’s proceedings.

unable to attend the conference. Chandrasekhar won third place for his work on non-invasive blood

sugar detection, and Abrar Alajlan took home fourth place for her project, “Energy-Efficient

Dynamic Motion Control for Wheeled Mobile Robots Using Low Cost Resources.”

Ibrahim Shehadeh (pictured left during the morning

session) won an honorable mention for his work on

multiple filament extrusion systems. He is a

mechanical engineering graduate student and his

project was overseen by Dr. Junling Hu.

Students whose work received an award were invited

to remain at the conference and attend the dinner

reception and keynote speaker presentations at the

Aqua Blue Hotel in Narraganset.

Congratulations to all of the students whose work was honored at this year’s ASEE convention. A

complete list of UB winners can be found in Appendix I.

Conference Dinner and Speakers

Attendees were invited to dinner and two speakers at the Aqua Blue Hotel. Conference general

chair Dr. Bahram Nassersharif offered opening remarks about the amazing level of attendance at

this year’s conference, which achieved a record number of registrants. He also reminded his

listeners that the conference is all about the students, from supporting their posters and papers, to

panels that offer teaching advice, accreditation information, and workshop demonstrations.

After speaking, Dr. Nassersharif briefly gave the floor to Dr. Raymond Wright, the dean of the

school of engineering at URI. He highlighted the International Engineering Program currently in

place, which offers students the chance to earn a double degree, with a B.S. in engineering and a

B.A. in a foreign language. During the student’s fourth year, (s)he travels abroad and takes

engineering courses in his/her target language for six months; for the following six months, (s)he

works via an internship in that same target language, earning both work experience and the

opportunity to live and work abroad.

The first speaker was special guest Dr. Joseph J. Rencis, the current ASEE national president. He

is also the dean of engineering at Tennessee Technological University, the

Clay N. Hixson Chair for Engineering Leadership, and a professor of

mechanical engineering. He spoke of the ASEE organization and how it

must change to keep up with world. In his time as president, he has created

seven teams that will globalize and create diversity. He advocated

“strategic doing” – instead of thinking everything through and then acting,

he argued for thinking and doing simultaneously, allowing the doer to

receive feedback and then continue with more well-informed thinking. Dr.

Rencis also touched on the financial status of ASEE, and how the organization dealt with its debt

through revenue and cutting expenses.

The keynote speaker was Dr. George Hazelrigg from the National Science Foundation. He is the

Deputy Division Director of the Division of Civil, Mechanical, and

Manufacturing Innovation. During his presentation, he argued that

engineers are decision makers, not problem solvers. He advocated

this change in thinking because of engineering’s focus on design,

which is all about choices (a.k.a. decisions). These decisions, he

continued, were optimizations requiring prediction and uncertainty,

and therefore risk. Current teaching curriculum, however, does not

account for this uncertainty and risk that engineers face in their jobs.

Dr. Hazelrigg proposed a change in teaching curriculum that focused

on engineers as decision makers; current teaching methods focus on

problem solving, an ideology that includes no preferences or uncertainty. The absence of these two

concepts, which both exist in engineering problems outside of the classroom, leaves students

inadequately equipped to handle the complexities of the real world.

Formal Award Presentations

Dinner closed with an award presentation given by Dr. Linda Riley. Because many students

carpooled with their universities, most were unable to attend this formal award ceremony, but UB’s

Kishore Thota (pictured below) was present to accept his second place award.

Following the student awards were the faculty

awards, presented by UB’s Dr. Navarun Gupta and

Fairfield University’s Christian Craciun, the chair of

the ASEE NE section. They had two accolades to

present: the Outstanding Teacher Award and an

award recognizing the Outstanding Campus

Representative for the Northeast Section.

Dr. Christian Bach, professor of technology

management at UB, was awarded the Outstanding

Teacher Award for the Northeast section. This award

honors professors who have proven their teaching

expertise, earned publications for their research, and

committed themselves to engineering education and

the ASEE.

Also honored at this ceremony was Kanti Prasad, a

professor at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell. He received the Outstanding Campus

Representative for the Northeast Section for his

efforts and involvement in the ASEE. He is

pictured right, alongside his award presenters

and Dr. Sobh, who personally congratulated his

success. Names are as follows, from left to

Saturday, April 30th

The conference reconvened at URI on Saturday morning with a continental breakfast and five

panels with topics ranging from laboratory development and innovation to undergraduate research.

Morning Sessions

In the “Other Topics in Engineering and Education” panel, Dr. Navarun Gupta, pictured right,

presented two papers. The first focused on STEM education and the NOYCE grant UB has

received to improve high school science programs in

underprivileged areas. In exchange for a free master’s

degree, local Bridgeport high school teachers agree to

remain in the district for a minimum of five years. The

interdisciplinary grant allows UB to identify areas in

which these teachers need additional training; focus

groups have suggested drama and communications

courses to develop the skills needed to better connect

with students. This grant also promotes cooperation

between multiple departments within UB, such as the

Schools of Education and Engineering.

For his second presentation, Dr. Gupta discussed the work of his colleague Dr. Lawrence Hmurcik,

an electrical engineering professor and an expert on fire causation. Dr. Hmurcik’s research aimed

to identify the source of aquarium fires. Through a number of experiments, he determined the issue

stemmed from owners using improper lighting; moisture near these lights or near terminal strips

posed the highest risk, while aquarium heaters – initially thought to be the problem – proved safe

overall.

Other presenters, such as those from the Wentworth Institute of Technology, discussed the

strengths and weaknesses of using Matlab – and substituting imaginary numbers for differential

equations – to improve students’ performances in trigonometry.

Tara Kularni from Norwich University in Vermont discussed a class she teaches that offers

interdisciplinary help to the community. The most recent project assisted a local town’s efforts to

build a park in an area washed out by Tropical Storm Irene. Students from various disciplines

worked in teams and created videos that outlined their plan for the park. Their efforts were then

submitted to the town for consideration.

A second round of morning sessions offered additional research in various topics: online

engineering education, additional undergraduate research and lab development panels, and

teaching and learning techniques and pedagogy.

Lunch & Business Meeting

Offered in the Student Union Ballroom, lunch gave conference attendees a chance to talk and

network with one another over a short meal. Immediately following this, ASEE NE chair Christian

Craciun led a business meeting with the organization’s members. Nonmembers were also invited

to attend to learn more about how the ASEE operates.

Afternoon Session

The final set of panels began on Saturday afternoon after the ASEE NE business meeting. Topics

included capstone design, an assessment of teaching and learning, and additional student paper

presentations at both the graduate and undergraduate level. UB graduate student Adwan Alanazi

presented his research entitled, “Optimized Occlusion-Free Viewpoint for Improving the Coverage

in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks.” He worked with Wireless Multimedia Sensor

Networks, aiming to improve their surveillance camera coverage by identifying occluded,

overlapped, and nonlapped areas. His project was advised by Dr. Khaled Elleithy. For the purposes

of this report, Adnan requested that no photographs be taken.
