IS-Cloud App Development

This independent study project builds on lessons learned in CICS 305 and other CS courses to explore ways of bringing ethical considerations to specific development activities. The group will create a Cloud Application focusing on facilitating communication within specific minoritized student populations. The goal of this cloud platform is to provide localized services for Chinese international students in Amherst. Students will focus on our target audience's needs, and they will engage in user research to inform and enact a user-centered design methodology.

CBI/BTP Lab Modules

Laboratory Modules are hands-on training in interdisciplinary and translational experimental, analytical, and computational techniques. Modules are centered around a particular technique, but they fundamentally stress how these techniques can be applied to a variety of different problems, perhaps changing the way students think about how they approach certain problems, and include instruction on what opportunities and constraints techniques have, with a focus on rigor and reproducibility associated with said technique.
