Clough Commons Research Study

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-08-07) Bennett, Charlie ; Doshi, Ameet ; Hunt, Dottie ; Kumar, Shilpi ; Noyes, Caroline ; Whitmer, Susan T.

For many students, the undergraduate experience has become less transformative and more transactional. The integrated planning goals for Georgia Institute of Technology's Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons, based on pilot spaces at the library, were aimed at increasing engagement between students, faculty, and academic support units to enrich the learning experience. To determine if goals were achieved, researchers from the institution and the design team partnered to assess the commons, identify improvements, and contribute to a continuous improvement process for future projects.
Making Sense of Science

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-11-01) Porter, Alan L. ; Carley, Stephen ; Melkers, Julia ; Xiao, Fang

Rapid changes occurring in scientific fields such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology increase the challenges technology managers and science policy makers alike face when determining the best course for research program strategy, management, and evaluation. Among other things, it is increasingly important to understand relationships, both cognitive and social, among research domains. In this panel, GaTech presenters discuss how using text-mining tools to analyze large sets of science and technology information provides indicators and insights into these critical questions. This presentation addresses the benefits and related issues in combining survey-based social network data with bibliometric data in the study of scientific collaboration. Preliminary results of on-going research are presented.
Music, Science, and Technology

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-03-03) Hunt, William D. ; Valk, Henry

Music and its performance have been part of our inheritance since primitive times. But what is music? How do we produce and hear it? How are popular instruments that we use to perform it, such as the guitar and piano, evolving? These and related questions will be discussed from the standpoint of current science and technology.

Older Adult Expertise in Emotion Regulation: Gains and Costs

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-09-16) Blanchard-Fields, Fredda

Despite research that shows cognitive decline as we grow older, changes in emotion show a positive developmental trajectory. This talk will address two questions. What are the skills older adults possess and use when regulating their emotions? Under what conditions are older adults more effective and least effective at regulating their emotions?
Are Cities Warming Faster than the Planet as a Whole?

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-04-01) Stone, Brian

How rapidly are large U.S. cities like Atlanta warming and what steps can be taken to manage climate change in urban areas? This talk will explore the methods employed to measure urban and global temperature trends and document the rate of temperature change with 50 of the most populous U.S. metropolitan areas between 1950 and 2000. The distinction between the urban and global mechanisms of warming will be considered as part of a more general discussion of climate change management in cities.
Making Computer Science 101: Fun with Robots

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-11-06) Balch, Tucker

We're trying an experiment here at Georgia Tech: We're teaching freshman Computer Science 101 (CS 1301 to be exact) with personal robots. Every student has her own robot to take home and work with. All the fundamentals of CS are taught in the context of programming a mobile robot with sensors, motors, a camera and a speaker. During this talk I will report on our success with this approach.
