Online Teaching and Learning Strategies
- Location: Online
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: In this course, we will introduce you to current research and best practices for both online and blended teaching as well as showcase examples of successful teaching strategies for both methodologies. Throughout the course you will work both independently and collaboratively with your peers to gain valuable online course transition experience and develop strategies in online teaching and learning. As a participant, you will learn both pedagogical aspects of teaching online as well as how to use and incorporate many of the tools available in the myCourses Learning Management System used at UMD. The ultimate goal of the course is to have you begin planning, organizing and building the course you eventually plan to teach. In addition, this course will introduce you to tools that will teach you how to self-assess course site design to ensure student ease of access to course content and to facilitate more streamlined student learning and retention.

BMEBT Seminar Presentation by Dr. Jose L. Avalos from Princeton Univ.
- Location: Textiles Building 101E
- Contact: BMEBT Seminar Series
- Description: TOPIC: Mitochondrial Engineering: Harnessing the Powerhouse of the Cell for the Production of Fuels and Chemicals
ABSTRACT: Yeast metabolic engineering has mostly focused on the construction of metabolic pathways in the cell cytoplasm. However, there is huge potential in harnessing the diversity of environments, metabolites and enzymes that exist in the different organelles of eukaryotic cells, to benefit engineered metabolic pathways. Among these, the mitochondrion is of particular interest due to its diversity of enzymes and metabolic networks, wealth of cofactors, and dynamic physiology. Targeting whole biosynthetic pathways to the mitochondria of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae improved the production of advanced biofuels by as much as 500%, compared to identical pathways targeted to the cytoplasm. The mechanisms of this enhancement include (1) the elimination of metabolic bottlenecks, (2) increased availability of intermediates of the engineered pathways, and (3) increased local concentrations of enzymes due to their confinement inside the smaller volume of mitochondria. Mitochondrial engineering also has the potential to circumvent cytoplasmic regulatory networks that undermine engineered pathways, and to alleviate the adverse effects of pathways that contain cytotoxic intermediate metabolites, by confining these metabolites to the mitochondria, away from their cytoplasmic or nuclear targets. Mitochondrial engineering thus offers multiple new strategies to enhance engineered metabolic pathways.

Speaker: Chenyang Lian (FICO)
Title: "FICO: Make Every Decision Countâ„¢: Overview of FICO / Advanced Analytics"
Time: Friday, May 8, 2015, 3:00pm-4:00pm
Location: Textiles 105
Abstract: In this presentation, Dr. Chenyang Lian will first give an overview of FICO, a leading analytic software company that helps business grow by making data-driven decisions. Organizations in 90+ countries turn to FICO to improve customer engagement, automate, and optimize decisions for higher ROI. Dr. Lian will also introduce FICOs advanced analytics such as decision optimization, and how that has been applied in the real world to help clients make better and smarter decisions across the industries. He will also discuss the latest hot topics on alternative data and big data analytics and how they transform the traditional analytics in the industry.
