PURM Revised Manuscript -- Stretching Beyond
Finding Patterns and Making Predictions: A Dialogue on Mentored Student Research and Engaged Learning Abroad Anthony Hatcher, Ph.D., Elon University, US, [email protected] Mia Watkins, A.B., Elon University, US During the week of April 7-11, 2014, a team of five undergraduate researchers and two mentors from Elon University in Elon, N.C., traveled to Hong Kong to conduct oral history interviews with inductees at the Internet Hall of Fame (IHOF) Induction/International IT Fest 2014. Coverage of IHOF is one of the many joint initiatives of the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project and the Imagining the Internet Center at Elon University. This essay presents an overview of the planning and research processes used by Elon University School of Communications students who interviewed and recorded inductees to the 2014 Internet Hall of Fame. The essay concludes with a dialogue between a professor/mentor, Anthony Hatcher, and one of the student researchers, Mia Watkins, who conducted follow-up research based on the interviewees’ responses. Watkins’ commentary on various stages of the process also appears throughout the essay. About the Imagining the Internet Center A central purpose of Elon’s Imagining the Internet Center is primary source data collection in order to create a permanent, ongoing archive and interactive history of the rapidly evolving world of digital communication, specifically the origins and development of the Internet. These data include video interviews with Internet pioneers involved in significant discoveries and innovations. The Center maintains that learning from past achievements can inform future public policy. The mission of the Imagining the Internet Center is “to explore and provide insights into emerging network innovations, global development, dynamics, diffusion and governance” (Imagining the Internet, n.d.). -

New ECE Building Design Approved
NEWS FOR ECE ILLINOIS ALUMNI AND FRIENDS FALL 2010 New ECE building design approved Also in this issue: The cell whisperers Levinson works to create artificially intelligent robots Boppart receives NIH grant to study mechanics of cancerous cells Seeing the world as a photograph Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Creating a hearth and home Dear alumni, I think you will find this to be an exciting issue as we share some of the newest developments of our ECE building campaign. In addition to an update of the latest information on the building, we have an interview with David King, the lead architect on the project, and some information on how our alumni can become more involved in the campaign. As I contemplate what the new building will mean for our ECE community, the origins of the ancient Greek concept of the hearth come to mind. Hestia. In ancient Greece, Hestia was the goddess of the sacred fire and was considered the most important of the goddesses. The daily tribute to this goddess was simple, to keep the hearth alive, burning with warmth and all the promise of fire. The word also means “focus,” both a point of convergence and a point of departure. As we stand at the threshold of embarking on the revitalization of ECE with the construction of the new home building for our department, the anticipation of one central hearth—to shelter, to welcome, and to inspire—validates our endeavor. As members of the ECE ILLINOIS family, we know the entity of our vibrant engineering community is sustained by us, wherever we are, because we cannot circumscribe the reach and impact of ECE ILLINOIS within the confines of a building. -
