As we continue summer sessions at UMBC and plan for the beginning of the 2021-2022 academic year, we would like to both acknowledge our library colleagues who have worked nonstop since the library building was closed in March 2020, and sincerely thank them for their service to our campus community. Their efforts supported the continued teaching, learning, and research during this difficult time and they did an amazing job.

 

We look forward to welcoming our users back into the building this coming fall!

 

Thank you!

Library Executive Council

“While we are eager to get back to the live event, there are definitely aspects of the online event that have widened the scope of URCAD,” says April Householder, director of undergraduate research and prestigious scholarships. “Presenters were able to invite friends and family members from other countries to view their presentations, and invite international scholars as potential future collaborators.”

Over 350 students presented projects, from novel artistic work to lab research to analysis of historical archives. The questions they asked reflected engagement with significant challenges and opportunities of today.

INDS: Digital Product Development and Design
Minor in Information Systems

Degree Mentors

Why did you choose to major in INDS?
I chose to major in INDS because of the opportunities it allows me to integrate past educational experiences with new ones in a way you normally couldn't in a standard major track. Along with supportive academic mentors and the tight-knit student community, I knew that creating an individualized major was for me.

What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree?
Upon graduating from UMBC, I plan to work full-time in the product design industry for at least one year to strengthen my design thinking and build my portfolio. The foundational skills I learn set by my degree plan, particularly classes in visual design theories and management basics, will be applicable to developing industry digital products. After, I plan on applying to graduate programs in Human-Computer Interaction. Doing so will further my understanding of both effective design processes and the social impact of technology on people. I am also interested in the world of IT (information technology) which my minor in Information Systems will open doors for.

2020 Alex Brown Center Idea Competition
Andrew, along with fellow INDS student Tristan King, placed second in the competition and were the recipients of the Best Presentation Award.

B.S. INDS: User Experience Design and Development

Web Development Certificate


Degree Mentors:


Why did you choose to major in INDS?

I had an interest in studying a user experience related field when I entered college. I started as a computer science and graphic design double major. However, I found more UX-related courses offered by the information systems undergraduate department and human-centered computing graduate department. I felt that INDS was a great fit for me because I had the opportunity to partake in specific courses from a variety of fields/departments. This opportunity allowed me to have an interdisciplinary degree that better entailed the skills and knowledge of UX than any one major/disciplinary field.


What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree?

I plan to pursue a graduate degree related to user experience.
