9 Virtual Reality Meets the Real World

When Bowie State computer science students strap on 3-D goggles and grab a controller, they’re not settling in for a round of the latest video game. They’re gearing up to simulate lifesaving scenarios in a new virtual reality laboratory developed with a $300,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.

Students working in the lab developed virtual environments to evaluate plans for emergency evacuation of airports, airplanes and large buildings to enhance national security and preparedness to respond in emergency situations.

Under the direction of Professor Sharad Sharma, the laboratory provides a virtual platform for undergraduate and graduate students to assess human behavior in emergency response situations. It’s a phenomenal resource for teaching and research, involving students in active research projects and critical thinking challenges.

Using a flat 2-D floor plan, they can create a near exact replica of any building or vehicle with the lab’s 3-D modeling software. Drs. Sharma and Quincy Brown expanded the evacuation research agenda with two additional grants from the Department of Homeland Security for $249,901 and $200,000, respectively.

In addition to evacuation studies, the lab is also being used to study traffic intersections and airport runway safety. New graduate level courses are also being designed to prepare students for careers in national security and information technology.

Opening Global Enterprise Opportunities

Ethiopia’s rich culture and history, along with its role in the development of African business and leadership, was the setting of a 12-day study abroad program for Bowie State business students. The second cohort to participate in the International Business Initiative program, the 10 students set out to build bridges of global engagement through enterprise and trade.

They met with top leaders from the African Union and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa to discuss ways to improve trade between Africa and the . The conversations focused on how African-Americans and Americans in general can become strategic partners in Africa’s development. They visited successful companies to observe innovative business practices in industries such as textile, sugar and coffee.

The program, led by Drs. Fiseha Eshete and Granville Sawyer from the College of Business, was funded by a U.S. Department of Education grant. It reflects a continued focus to integrate international business concepts into the curriculum, preparing future leaders for opportunities abroad.

An additional outgrowth of the initiative was the development of a new foreign language course in Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia. The course was offered for the first time as a humanities elective in the Department of English and Modern Languages in fall 2011.

Unearthing the Life-Saving Potential of Biomedicines

Biomedicines developed from the study of plants can create life-saving medical breakthroughs and improve our quality of life. Biology students Meryl Collins, Ghislain Tchomobe, and Waller made their mark on the field when they conducted biomedical research during an internship in the Dominican Republic in summer 2012.

Collins’ research allowed her to explore how certain plants can be used to destroy cancer or stop cancer cells from dividing. The impact of her work could allow for the further development of natural treatments to replace or supplement man- made drugs. She also tested the plants’ uses as natural pesticides, as well as antifungal and antibacterial agents.

Assistant professor Anne Osano in the Department of Natural Sciences led the students’ research in collaboration with scientists at Cornell University. The students continued their projects in Dr. Osano’s lab and presented their findings at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students in San Jose, Calif., where Collins took home two awards for PARTNERSHIPS her poster presentation. IN BIOTECHNOLOGY Dr. George Ude, associate professor in the Department of Natural Sciences, lent his expertise in biotechnology research to two universities in Nigeria to train students and faculty in DNA extraction, gene cloning, and the production of genetically modified organisms. He has developed ongoing partnerships with Godfrey Okoye University and Joseph Ayo Babalola University to support them in developing biotechnology 15 programs and laboratories. Exploring New Exchange Programs in China

President Mickey L. Burnim continued his efforts to promote new opportunities for students and faculty to participate in international experiences and study when he traveled to Beijing with representatives from the American Association for State Colleges and Universities.

Dr. Burnim met with other higher education leaders to explore ways to partner with Chinese higher education institutions to facilitate international study abroad opportunities for Bowie State students and faculty, as well as opportunities for Chinese students to study at Bowie State.

The trip supported BSU’s goal to expand inter-institutional study abroad, academic exchanges, and research opportunities that enhance students’ global perspectives.

MAKING STRIDES AGAINST HIV/AIDS Dr. Rita Wutoh, Wellness Center director, conducted training in HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention for faculty and students at the University of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia – a country with one of the world’s largest HIV-infected populations.

18 DISCOVERY Becoming a Research Hub

Unlocking Student Achievement Through Animation

Imagine a student working with an animated professor on a computer, that provides individualized tutoring in areas where the student needs the most help. That’s the vision of Dr. Jie Yan, associate professor in the Department of Computer Science, a respected researcher in the field of artificial intelligence.

She has worked with three Bowie State students to develop this technology and increase its effectiveness, publishing the research in science journals and presenting it at conferences. Their work focuses on creating a more life-like computer character with accurate visual speech and realistic expressive head and face movements. The goal is to develop a virtual tutor that would more effectively engage students in the learning process. It would present science concepts through narrated animation and question-and- answer interactions, ultimately leading to higher student achievement rates.

The research has the potential to revolutionize computer-based distance learning and tutoring programs in a variety of disciplines by supplementing professors’ lectures with virtual characters who are responsive to the needs of their students.
