School of Engineering student’s wins 3rd Prize in CT Skills
Challenge April 2016, with reward of $1500 cash prizes.

Over 250 students signed up to take an initial coding assessment during this pilot year. Based on scores from the assessment, the top 50 coders were invited to participate in the April 2nd Finals event.

The top 50 students included representation from all 10 college and university partners (Central Connecticut State University, Eastern Connecticut State University, Norwalk Community College, University of Bridgeport, University of Connecticut, University of New Haven, Quinnipiac University, Sacred Heart University, Southern Connecticut State University, and Western Connecticut State University). During the hackathon, students were placed in 10 teams of five students. Teams were tasked with the challenge to generate a program using specific APIs. Mentors from Lead Sponsor A100 and Supporting Sponsors NewOak, Continuity, CNC Software/MasterCam, learntoprogram.tv, and Aquinas Training were on hand to field questions and support the hackers.

Two from UB honored by Connecticut Technology Council

Congratulations to UB engineering professor Dr. Jani Macari Pallis and engineering graduate student Wafa Elmannai, who have been named 2016 Women of Innovation honorees by the Connecticut Technology Council!

Dr. Jani Macari Pallis has reached pre-college students and teachers, engineering colleagues, university students, and informal education groups with her innovative and creative curriculum and projects for over 30 years. She has received over $1.5 million in grants solely focused on curriculum development and outreach.

Today, Dr. Pallis, who is an associate professor of mechanical engineering, and her students are developing a “Space Program for Kids.” It includes the implementation of high-altitude ballooning (17 miles up), mission control, and small-satellite and payload development, including the development of a university student-operated satellite that will be used for education outreach while it orbits the earth.

Dr. Pallis serves as the faculty advisor for the University of Bridgeport’s new Aerospace Club and UB’s Society of Women Engineers student group. Annually, she and UB students lead daylong workshops and provide hands-on STEM activities for children and their families at events such as Engineers Week, Black History Day, Women’s History Day, Aeronautics Day, Space Day, UB’s Welcome Back Weekend, and Tech Savvy.

She has been recognized by NASA Ames Research Center, California Association for Aerospace Education, The Franklin Institute, and Connecticut Space Grant College Consortium for her work in aerospace education.

While Dr. Pallis’s projects may range from spacecraft to sports engineering, her goal has always been to offer the next generation of engineers exposure and opportunities to participate in innovative projects today.

Wafa Elmannai is a doctorate student of computer science. She is currently developing an intelligent framework to assist the impaired visually people. Her research has been supported by a $20,000 grant from the AAUW. In October 2015, Elmannai won the Upsilon Pi Epsilon (UPE) Executive Council Award, the highest award given to just three engineering students in the U.S. This is the second time Elmannai has been selected for a Women of innovation Award by the Connecticut Technology Council. In addition to her studies, Elmannai the president of the UPE International Honors Society for the Computing and Information Disciplines.

In addition to her research, she is a volunteer with Girls of Innovation, a campaign by the Connecticut Technology Council to encourage girls from first to eighth grades to be innovators and leaders in future.

Connecticut Skills Challenge @ University of Bridgeport

On January 29, several students from School of Engineering participated in coding contest hosted by Connecticut Skills Challenge - Connecticut Technology Council
About the Skills Challenge: The Connecticut Skills Challenge provides tech-savvy students with the opportunity to get noticed.
Through participation in the Connecticut Skills Challenge (coding contest) students from universities and colleges are tested on their coding skills. Once challenged, students are included in an online directory where tech companies search for local talent.
