Your UMBC Bucket List We have a fine tradition at UMBC (now one year old): At the beginning of the academic year, we share our lists of things we'd like to do while we're here. My UMBC Bucket List includes seeing performances in every venue in the new Performing Arts & Humanities Building, participating in my third Election Night Extravaganza (this November), advising a student organization other than SGA (already advised SGA, loved it), and completing my Ph.D.  

 So what's on your bucket list? Take a look at the lists people posted last year for inspiration, then please share. After that, let's hold each other accountable for following through.  I didn't do so well at checking off items from my list from last year.  Did you?

When did you join the Ronald E. McNair (REM) program?
I was accepted as a McNair Scholar for the 2011-2012 academic year (REM 20).

How did you find out about McNair?
I found out through a friend who was applying.

What have you gained from being a McNair scholar?
I gained many valuable skill sets including: independent study skills, the ability to critique research, interpersonal skills, and the importance of fostering the mentor relationship.

What is your most recent independent research project?
I am working on creating a device that assists the visually impaired in reading Braille.

How did you find your mentor for this project?
I searched the Department of Information Systems for a professor doing research in the area of assistive technologies and Human Centered Computing. I came across Dr. Shaun Kane, who has done much work in these areas.

How did you know this was the project you wanted to do?
I didn’t, Dr. Shaun Kane gave me a list of projects in his lab to pick from. I wasn’t able to decide at first, but the opportunity to create a novel device really excited me.

How much time did you put into it?
I spent two hours every Friday during the spring 2012 semester working on the proposal and literature review. I worked about five to eight hours a day Monday through Friday for my summer Research Fellowship.

What academic background did you have before you started?
I was a Mechanical Engineering major for a semester, then I switched to Information Systems for its interdisciplinary nature.

How much did your mentor help you with your research?
My mentor introduced me to the topic and potential directions for the research. I am doing all of the research as an independent study under his guidance.

What has been the hardest part about your research?
The most difficult part of my research is iterative prototyping. This is a cyclic process of designing, testing, analyzing, and refining a product or process.

What was the most unexpected thing?
There is no one unexpected thing. The process of design is always unexpected because design, like fashion, changes very rapidly and constantly. Design is always improving.

How does your research relate to your work in other classes?
As an Information Systems major, I learn to work with computer hardware, software people, and the design process. I get to take what I learned in class and apply it directly to a real world problem.

What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
Research is a challenging yet rewarding way of exploring your interests. It is not for everyone. However, this should not dissuade you from attempting it, you might discover that you enjoy it and realize a passion of yours.

What are your career goals?

I aspire to go to graduate school and then work in the government in Network Security Administration.

With today being Constitution Day (225 years ago today, September 17, 1787, is when the Constitutional Convention signed the final document), I thought my first post on Co-Create UMBC might commemorate this day by examining one particularly relevant component of the Constitution—the Electoral College—and its influence on presidential campaigns.

Background

On Election Day, you will vote for Electors who will convene weeks later to formally elect the President and Vice President.  In the Electoral College, each state has a number of votes equal to the number of its Representatives (determined by population) plus Senators (two per state, regardless of population).  Because Maryland currently has eight Representatives and two Senators, it will cast 10 electoral votes in the 2012 Presidential Election. The Electoral College originated in a compromise among states with higher populations and lower populations.

The Electoral College Today

In 1787, the Electoral College, though it tipped the scales toward states with small populations even then, found a place in the Constitution out of political convenience. In today’s landscape, however, the system has evolved into an institution that routinely disempowers millions of Americans every four years. How?

Well, we can first start with the representation issue. By counting Senators when determining the number of electors each state receives, we privilege less populous states in the Electoral College. For example, Wyoming’s small population and three electoral votes means that one of the state’s electoral votes represents 56,363 citizens, while Maryland’s large population and ten electoral votes results in one of its electoral votes representing 577,355 of its citizens. While many of us assume that in America our votes count equally, the reality is that they do not when we elect Presidents and Vice Presidents.

Another problematic feature of the Electoral College emerged only a few decades after the institution’s creation. In the early nineteenth century, many states looked for ways to heighten their influence in presidential politics. States began implementing “winner-take-all” models as one method, in which states package their electoral votes together and award them to the candidate winning a plurality of each state’s popular vote. Over the years the winner-take-all rule has become the default method of awarding electoral votes; only Maine and Nebraska do not use the winner-take-all system. The rule rewards presidential candidates who camp out in competitive states that award large numbers of electoral votes. In 2012, Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and Colorado have seen presidential candidates spend significant time and resources in their states based on their “swing state” status—their politically moderate populations and large blocs of electoral votes. Conversely, less populated states that tend to vote predictably for the same party election after election—like Wyoming (which reliably votes Republican) and Vermont (reliably Democratic)—attract little to no attention from modern campaigns and are often shut out of the national political dialogue.

With the inherently unequal distribution of political power in the Electoral College and the winner-take-all system working in tandem, we now have a presidential voting process that is anachronistic, undemocratic, and, in many states, difficult to experience. Many individuals and organizations have spawned efforts to amend the Constitution in an effort to dispose of the Electoral College. One contemporary movement is called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), an initiative inviting state commitments to revise current rules governing how they apportion their electoral votes to ensure that states select the winner of the national popular vote. The agreement will only take effect when the compact enlists the required number of states to represent the majority of electors. (Currently, eight states and the District of Columbia have joined the NPVIC, with Maryland being the first state to join in 2007.)

Conclusion

I think the most important thing for us to remember is that the Constitution is not a static document. While making the process difficult, our founders did entrust us with the ability to amend the Constitution as necessary. Regardless of political affiliation, we all own a piece of that Constitution and its contents (including the Electoral College). On this Constitution Day, I think it's worth thinking about what kind of system for electing Presidents we want to have.

How do you feel about the Electoral College? If you don’t like it, how would you amend it?

Note: You can read the original text of the Constitution here, and the 27 amendments adopted since that day in 1787 here and here.  David has written a couple posts in the past to celebrate this holiday. In 2010,David asserted that the Constitution represented the ideals of co-creation and restraint. In 2009, David’s Constitution Day post proposed that U.S. Senators be apportioned among the states at least partly based on population(not two per state).
