SUMMARY:What Did You Tell the President? – Using Statistics to Make a Difference
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Management Science and Statistics at UTSA is proud to present the former EPA Chief Statistician and current ASA president\, Barry Nussbaum on Monday\, April 3\, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. in the Faculty Center (JPL 4.04.22) on the UTSA Main Campus. \nDr. Nussbaum’s talk\, entitled What Did You Tell the President? – Using Statistics to Make a Difference\, will present how statistics can make a big difference in influencing decisions and actions in a variety of fields and how to succinctly explain statistical results so that decision makers can correctly integrate analyses into their actions. Examples will include analyses used in court cases and material presented to the President of the United States. Further\, Big Data will be reviewed in the context of whether Uber is in the Big Data driver’s seat. \nThe event is free and open to the UTSA community and the public. Registration is not required. \nContact Dr. David Han at 210-458-7895 or david.han@utsa.edu for more information. \nDr. Barry NussbaumPresident of the American Statistical Association (ASA)Dr. Nussbaum started his career at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1975 in mobile sources. At the agency\, he founded and chaired the EPA Statistics Users Group. As the Chief Statistician at EPA\, Dr. Nussbaum achieved many successes using statistical analysis to promote health\, determine environmental policy\, and enforce regulations. In particular\, he was in charge of the successful drive to eliminate harmful lead from gasoline. Dr. Nussbaum served as chair of the ASA Statistics and Environment Section in 2000. From 2011 to 2015\, he chaired the ASA Statistical Partnerships among Academia\, Industry\, and Government (SPAIG) committee. In recognition of his notable accomplishments and contributions to statistics\, he was awarded the EPA Distinguished Career Service Award and elected an ASA fellow. In 2015\, Dr. Nussbaum was elected the 112th president of the American Statistical Association (ASA)\, the largest society of statisticians and data scientists. \nDr. Nussbaum has a bachelor’s degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and both master’s and doctoral degrees from the George Washington University. This event is supported by a generous contribution from the American Statistical Association.

SUMMARY:Pacific Northwest National Laboratory at UTSA
DESCRIPTION:Operated by the Battelle Memorial Institute since 1965\, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is one of the United States of Department of Energy national laboratories\, managed by the DOE Office of Science. The main campus of the laboratory is located in Richland\, Washington. \nWe are pleased to welcome PNNL researchers to UTSA for the following guest lectures. \n\nSAMUEL CLEMENTS | 10:00am – 10:45am\nBlended Attacks: Integrating Cyber and Physical Assessments\nBoth physical and cyber security domains offer solutions for the discovery of vulnerabilities\, but neither method fully represents the true potential security risk to a site\, facility\, or asset nor comprehensively assesses the overall security posture. This project evaluated physical and cyber vulnerability analysis (VA) techniques and provided a strategic approach to integrating the interdependent relationships of each into a single VA capability\, enabling increased identification and assessment of the true overall risk during a vulnerability assessment. \nWILL HUTTON | 10:45am – 11:30am\nTeaching a Computer to Fight Itself (Implementing an ORGE AI in Python)\nOGRE is an asymmetric board game created in 1977 simulating a futuristic fighting force of infantry and armor against a single\, massive\, artificially intelligent cyber tank. Figuring out a winning strategy was difficult\, so I taught my computer how to play the game using Python and genetic algorithms\, so my program could learn how to play the game better. \nBiographies: \nSAM CLEMENTS\, upon graduating from Carnegie Mellon University’s Masters of Information Security\, Policy\, and Management program\, recognized the need to expand cyber security research beyond information technology systems to the control systems that run our nation’s critical infrastructure. As a recipient of the Scholarship for Service program\, he looked across the federal government and federally funded research and development centers to find where this research was occurring and in 2008 began working as a Cyber Security Researcher at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. PNNL’s strong ties to the US electrical grid made it a natural fit. Sam’s research has covered technical evaluations of wireless systems for use in critical infrastructure systems\, secure network architectures\, and blending physical and cyber security assessment processes for which he was awarded a patent. \nWILLIAM HUTTON spent four years active duty with the United States Army as a military intelligence and electronic warfare specialist. He received his bachelor of arts in philosophy and computer science from Central Washington University in 1999. William has over 20 years of software development experience\, spent five years working at the Pacific Northwest’s only operating nuclear reactor\, and two years at the Hanford site before coming to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. While at PNNL\, William has\nfocused on protecting critical infrastructure\, cyber and physical security\, cryptography\, and resiliency. He is currently a PhD candidate at Washington\nState University. \nDownload Flyer \nSave \nSave \nRegister for this event

SUMMARY:Creating Problem Solving Videos with Office Mix
DESCRIPTION:Creating instructional videos for math intensive subjects can be challenging and time consuming. This workshop will give specific tips on using Office Mix for creating problem solving videos that can be included as part of an online/hybrid class or as additional resources for your students. \n  \nRegister for this eventPresented By:Arturo MontoyaAssistant Professor for Mechanical EngineeringDr. Arturo Montoya is an Assistant Professor within the Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Department at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). He obtained all his three degrees (B.S. ’07\, M.S. ’08\, and Ph.D. ’12) in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics from Columbia University. His disciplinary interests include solid mechanics\, computational mechanics\, structural reliability and structural design.  Dr. Montoya offered a fully online engineering course\, Introduction to Timber and Masonry Design\, in the fall of 2016. He was a faculty mentor of CEE Study Abroad Program in Urbino\, Italy and is currently working on a course re-design plan for CEE courses with dense-curriculum.

DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I will demonstrate how to design and create storyboards for video lectures. I will also showcase the storyboards that I created for my first ever hybrid class as well as those in progress for a new hybrid class. \n  \nRegister for this eventPresented By:Dr. Becky Huang Assistant Professor for Bicultural-Bilingual StudiesAs a technology lover (and sci-fi fan)\, I have always had a strong interest in teaching hybrid/online courses. I attended the UTSA hybrid academy and taught my first hybrid class in Summer 2016\, both of which I enjoyed. I am teaching a hybrid class again this semester (Spring 2017) and am also working on converting another face-to-face class into a hybrid for Fall 2017.
