It is both a blessing and an honor to serve as the Director of Research

and Sponsored Programs at Bowie State University. In my 4.5 year

tenure, I have had the privilege of witnessing our faculty’s commitment

to student and scholarly excellence, and the enthusiasm and growth of

our students that have resulted from a blend of traditional and innova-

tive teaching and learning practices along with hands-on training.

I want to take this time to also commend our leadership at the

institution for allocating funding to initiate and expand great programs,

as well as to build on our infrastructure for external funding. External

funding plays a critical role in implementing and leveraging the efforts of

our campus in academic, and scholarly pursuits. I am happy to report

that over the past 2 years, external funding from grants and contracts

has increased by approximately 38%. I am also happy to share with you

our Spring Semester INFORMER. This newsletter provides a snapshot of

some of the funded initiatives over the past year or two that are helping

The Historically Black College and University Undergraduate Program at the National Science Foundation

awarded Bowie State University a grant to support an ecosystem of interventions directed to first and

second year STEM as well as K-12 students that would more likely enable these students to identify

themselves as a part of a stem community. The expected outcomes for students are that early academ-

ic research engagement intervention will have a positive impact on student success, retention, and grad-

uation rates. Last fall, 236 freshman from Computer Science, Natural Sciences, Management Infor-

mation Systems and Psychology participated in Robotics Clinics. This experience provided hands on

learning in real word product development. The students worked in teams of 4 or 5 students and ulti-

mately designed 48 products including a collision avoidance robotic car, a motion sensing security sys-

tem, a joystick, a toothpaste dispenser, Holiday lights and a Hands-free door opener. In addition, NSF

awarded a supplement for cybersecurity research bringing the total grant award to $1.14 M. Overall,

this project is likely to contribute to the national goal of increasing students from underrepresented U.S.

populations who earn STEM degrees. and succeed in STEM related careers.

BSU K-20 CYBERSECURITY WORKFORCE PIPELINE, NNSA, (PI) LETHIA JACKSON

Since 2015, Bowie State University has been a part of a $25 million grant award through the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear

Security Administration to fund the Cybersecurity Workforce Pipeline Consortium comprised of thirteen (13) colleges and universities. BSU’s

cybersecurity research focus is centered on Forensics Technology Information. Undergraduate students majoring in computer technology or

computer science is the synergy of this cybersecurity research focus. The students known as the Cyber Squad are exposed to case studies,

real world applications, research and curriculum as it relates to Forensics in three (3) diverse computing areas: Defensive Programming

Application, Network Protocols and Packet Filtering and Network Security to include Cloud Computing. Industry involvement is significant to

assist Bowie State in updating curriculum while building capacity by sharing tools, ideas and best practices across all courses offered in the

Department of Computer Science at Bowie State University as well as the respective departments associated with the other consortium

members. The Cyber Squad competed and won 1st place in one competition and 3rd place in another during the Northern Virginia Commu-

nity College (NVCC) Hackathon InNovation last year. Other grant activities include a summer program for 40 Baltimore City youth of which

two of the students started attending classes at BSU last Fall (for more information, go to: http://www.cs.bowiestate.edu/FTI/index.html)

Through a grant from the Department of Defense in the amount of $445,449.80, Dr. Hoda El-Sayed (PI) secured

funding for a cutting-edge supercomcapability for the newly established, CHIP – Center for High-Performance

puter from CRAY, Inc. The computer, named the SPHINX for its speed and intelligence, embodies a total of

12740 processing cores capable of performing at 59 TeraFLOPS or 59 trillion calculations per second. Sphinx is

the core computational Information Processing. Within the context of CHIP, Sphinx helps to expand our interdis-

ciplinary research capabilities across many fields including life science, chemistry, computer forensics and secu-

rity, high-performance computing and computer science. Among the research analyses that will be undertaken

by the research team comprised of Dr. El-Sayed and Drs. George Ude and Bo Yang (CoPIs) are the following: new

parallel programming models for productivity species; and computer, scheduling and optimizations for GPU and

many core accelerated computations; sequencing of large databases of DNA through a DNA Barcoding Initiative

to sample, identify and classify forensics. In addition, this system will be made available for faculty and students

across the campus. Sphinx will provide faculty with a powerful cutting edge tool that can help them to make

substantial scientific progress in these areas. Last fall, a faculty training workshop was held. Students through

classroom experiences and mentored research will also gain exposure to the latest computing technologies and

a world class skill set that will give them the competitive edge needed for a successful career path.

Dr. Ude in the summer of 2016 continued with his DNA barcoding Initiative for identification and

classification of species in tropical Africa funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). He

believes that nations differ in the type of natural resources that they possess and that most econo-

mies depend on a nation’s ability to identify and harness those resources for the benefit of the

citizens. In order to maximize the use of existing biological diversity, it is necessary to sample,

identify and classify the species for easy reference and proper conservation. The aim of this year’s

summer faculty–students team visit to Nigeria was to study the diverse accessions of fish species

in South East Nigeria. Prior to traveling to Nigeria, the students received training in various DNA

barcoding techniques at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory DNA Learning Center in New York. The

project undertaken in Nigeria showcased the tremendous genetic diversity inherent in the species

in tropical ecosystems, and identified species-specific DNA barcodes for the purpose of tracking

fish samples imported for consumption in the United States of America from Africa.

Governor O’Malley set a statewide goal that 55% of adult Marylanders will hold an associate or bachelor’s degree by 2025. In support of this

statewide goal, the College and Career Readiness and College Completion Act of 2013, was enacted. To support

the act, Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) sponsored the One Step Away (OSA) grant. The purpose of

the One Step Away Program is to increase college completion rates by providing associate and bachelor’s degree

granting Maryland institutions with seed money to identify, contact, re-enroll, and graduate near-completer stu-

dents. Near-completers are those students who have earned 75% or more credits toward an associate or bache-

lor’s degree, or may have enough credits for an associate or bachelor’s degree, but have stopped-out or dropped-

out for 12 months or longer without obtaining a degree. Bowie State was one of several Maryland institutions to be

awarded a One Step Away grant ($47,800.00) for AY 2013-2014, AY 2015-2016 ($45,500.00) and AY 2016-

2017 ($60,000.00). The principal investigator was Dr. Becky Verzinski, Assistant Vice President for Assessment,

who coordinates a streamlined concierge service for the near completers. As of May 2016, 18 students have

graduated from BSU with their undergraduate degrees in Psychology, Business Administration, History & Government, Fine Arts, Sociology,

Criminal Justice, and Communications. Since 2014, the OSA Initiative has increased the number of graduates each year by one percent. Last

Fall, Fourteen (14) students (four returning and 10 new participants) were actively pursuing their degrees and participating in the OSA initiative

with two students graduating in December 2016.

BSU SUMMER COMPUTER SCIENCE CAMPS FOR MI DDLE/HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The BSU Department of Computer Science and the MAC-CAE Program funded by the NSA hosts a camp for

female and male students in middle and high school. The camps are separated by gender and grade level with

separate High School and Middle School programs and the sessions run concurrently. The female camps,

initially started by Dr. Quincy Brown (former BSU Faculty member) are led by Dr. Courtney Lamar and Professor

Latson. The male camps are led by Dr. Daryl Stone. He is also the PI for the MAC-CAE Program at BSU. During

the camp, participants learn how to build and program NXT Robots, study Cyber Security, build computers using

Raspberry Pi’s, learn LED and conductors through a Wearable Computing project and were introduced 3D Mod-

eling. BSU’s Professor Sharma, taught the 3D Modeling. Dr. Stone and his four BSU undergraduate camp assis-

tants gave an introduction to C++ programming, which is the first class taught in the BSU Computer Science

curriculum. Campers and parents were delighted with the great complement of recreation and educational ex-

periences. A lot of great enjoyment was had in the Student Union Game Room each day and students took a

tour of the campus. Last, but not least, students gained the intrinsic benefit of involvement with current BSU

students each day. The camp also included two field trips that were an immense success and will remain in

curriculum for future camps. Since 2009, over 250 campers have attended the Computer Science/MAC-CAE
