  • Meetup Culture at Wpi ______
    ____________________________________________________________________________ MEETUP CULTURE AT WPI ______________________________________________________________________________ An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted on: May 31, 2018 Submitted by: Amanda Ezeobiejesi Quyen Dinh Thuc Hoang Hung Phu Gia Hong Advised by: Professor Lane T. Harrison This report represents the work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. ABSTRACT This project quantifies student-centered benefits of attending special interest meetings called “meetups”, and identifies barriers that impact student attendance to meetups, in order to provide recommendations for improving extracurricular education at WPI. Our objective is to ensure that WPI students understand the benefits of attending meetups in the greater Boston area that relate to their academic interests and professional development. The results of 322 student survey responses and multiple interviews suggest that WPI students are generally unaware of meetups and the benefits of attending them, but that the small percentage of students who have attended meetups report significant improvements to their educational experience and career prospects. i | P a g e ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Our team would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the following individuals for their support and encouragement throughout the duration of this project: Our project advisor, Professor Lane Harrison, who supported our team throughout the entire duration of the project. His enthusiasm, kind attention, and diligent guidance increased our passion for the project and allowed the IQP to be as impactful as possible.

  • Designing Technotheologies: Ethics, Pedagogies, And
    DESIGNING TECHNOTHEOLOGIES: ETHICS, PEDAGOGIES, AND SPIRITUALITIES IN MAKER ACTOR-NETWORKS by Yu-Ling Lee B.Math, University of Waterloo, 2004 M.Div, Tyndale University College and Seminary, 2008 Th.M, Regent College, 2011 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Curriculum Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2017 © Yu-Ling Lee, 2017 Abstract The purpose of this study was to understand how religion and spirituality matter in the consumer use, design, and engineering of media and technology. Specifically, the research questions were: 1) What role do ethics and values perform in maker and hacker networks? 2) How are ethics and values integrated and manifested throughout the design process in maker or hacker networks? 3) What are the routines, rituals, and subjective well-being of participants in the maker or hacker design process? The research setting was the designers in the maker community in Vancouver and technologists associated with Code for the Kingdom in Seattle. All designers and technologists in Vancouver and Seattle have independent projects at various levels of collaboration. I recruited seven participants affiliated with the Vancouver maker community for in-depth analysis of their design process. In Seattle, I recruited two hackers who participated in Code for the Kingdom, a Christian organization that hosts hackathons for altruistic and religious purposes. Their focus on innovation, design methodologies, and critical making allowed me to discern their values and ethics through their design process. These participants have different perspectives on religion and spirituality, which make their technotheological networks complex.

  • Smartphone-Based Acoustic Indoor Space Mapping

Existing indoor space mapping requires special hardware (e.g., indoor LiDAR equipment) and well-trained operators. In this paper, we develop a smartphone-based indoor space mapping system that lets a regular user quickly map an indoor space by simply walking around while holding a phone in his/her hand. Our system accurately measures the distance to nearby reectors, estimates the user’s trajectory, and pairs dierent reectors the user encounters during the walk to automatically construct the contour. Using extensive evaluation, we show our contour construction is accurate: the median errors are 1.5 cm for a single wall and 6 cm for multiple walls (due to longer trajectory and the higher number of walls). We show that our system provides a median error of 30 cm and a 90-percentile error of 1 m, which is signicantly better than the state-of-the-art smartphone acoustic mapping system BatMapper [64], whose corresponding errors are 60 cm and 2.5 m respectively, even after multiple walks. We further show that the constructed indoor contour can be used to predict wireless received signal strength (RSS).
