Item How should we train and assess our STEM graduate students in oral communication?(2020-01) Willoughby, Shannon D.; Davis, Kent; Green, Jennifer; Hughes, Bryce; LaMeres, Brock; Sterman, Leila B.A poster presented at a IGE annual PI's reporting meeting in January 2020. Today’s STEM graduate students need to be able to effectively communicate their research with the public. How do we develop and assess a curriculum that fosters these skills in tomorrow’s science professionals?Item Smart Power Strip(2013-03) Sorensen, Sam; Izurieta, Clemente; LaMeres, Brock; Nakigawa, WataruVampire power, energy consumed by devices in low-power or standby modes, accounts for 22% of an average home’s power consumption, according to a 2008 California Energy Commission study. By providing a convenient and largely autonomous system for monitoring and controlling power consumption, the Smart Power Strip aims to minimize or eliminate the average household’s annual $100 spent on powering devices in standby, low-power, or “instant-on” modes while using minimal power itself. Features such as per-device scheduling, power usage data, and remote access through a WebUI provide the user with straightforward tools for convenient power monitoring and regulation.
