Join us to learn more.\n\nAbout this event\n\nThe Honors Undergraduate Thesis (HUT) program allows juniors and seniors from all disciplines to engage in original and independent research as principal investigators. Over the course of two to four semesters, students work closely with a faculty committee to research, write, defend, and publish an original thesis that serves as an honors capstone product of their undergraduate career. This thesis is published through the university library and is available to researchers worldwide through electronic databases.\n\nThese information sessions cover the Honors Thesis eligibility requirements, program benefits, and an overview of the steps to complete an Honors Undergraduate thesis/creative project. During these sessions students learn about the process, benefits, ask questions, and fill out the Honors Thesis eligibility form to get started in pursuing original and independent research.\n\nRSVP is required at least 2 hours before the start time. The Zoom link and information will be sent to your UCF email account upon registering.\n\nImportant\n\nSign-in using your UCF SSO Zoom account (with your full name and official UCF email) before opening the link for the meeting so your attendance can be recorded, and a follow-up email can be sent to your email account.\n\nQuestions?\n\nEmail HonorsResearch@ucf.edu. \n\nWe hope to see you there!\n\nVirtual Location URL: https://ucf.zoom.us/meeting/register/oNWLoInCT-6XQDOE0fiWbw\nRegistration Link: https://ucf.zoom.us/meeting/register/oNWLoInCT-6XQDOE0fiWbw\nRegistration Info: RSVP required.

In this talk, I will discuss how meta-optics can be used to implement computation for optical edge sensors, serving to off-load computationally expensive convolutional operations from the digital platform, reducing both latency and power consumption. Meta-optics can also take advantage of additional information channels, such as polarization, spectral composition, and angle of incidence, to process information not recorded on conventional cameras. I will discuss how this increased freedom in design allows meta-optics to augment, or replace, conventional imaging optics in achieving parallel optical processing across multiple independent channels. The meta-optic frontend is demonstrated to enable segmenting and classifying objects with minimal computational resources as well as allow for spectral discrimination in classifying objects based on their emission characteristics.\n\n \nAbout the Speaker: Professor Valentine received a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Purdue University in 2004 and a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from UC Berkeley in 2010. At Vanderbilt he is currently a Professor of Mechanical Engineering and the Deputy Director of the Vanderbilt Institute of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (VINSE). Prof. Valentine researches the optical properties of nanostructured metamaterials for imaging and image processing, photodetection, and dynamically reconfigurable optics for wavefront control. He has received an NSF CAREER Award, the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, and a Chancellor's Award for Research.\n\nVirtual Location URL: https://ucf.zoom.us/j/93234347765?from=addon END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:https://events.ucf.edu/event/3906073/leveraging-your-high-impact-practice/ DTSTAMP:20251010T110000 DTSTART:20251010T110000 DTEND:20251010T120000 LOCATION:Virtual and Dixon Career Center: DCC 121 SUMMARY:Leveraging your High-Impact Practice URL:https://events.ucf.edu/event/3906073/leveraging-your-high-impact-practice/ DESCRIPTION:Join us to discover how your experiences beyond the classroom can support your career path!

This course is available for students who are currently enrolled and taking classes at UCF. \n\nUpon successful completion of this course and check-out dives, graduates are considered competent to engage in open water diving activities without supervision, provided the diving activities and the areas dived approximate those of training. No previous SCUBA experience is required; however, basic swimming skills are necessary to complete the course. \n\nCost \nThe total cost of the certification is $380 with $40 due at the time of registration. The rest of the price is due the first weekend of the certification paid to Ranger Rick SCUBA Adventures. If you pay with card there is an extra $5 charge for fees making the total $385. \n\nSchedule \n\nIn order for the participant to receive the SCUBA certification, they must complete two consecutive weekends of training. The first weekend encompasses classroom work and practice dives in the pool. Normally, the first weekend includes Friday night, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday. For the second weekend, our instructor will pick either Saturday or Sunday to complete the Open Water Dives. There will be some adjustments to this schedule in Summer 2024, as you can see below. \n\nCurrent Certification Dates: \n\n * June 2025 Certification \n\n\n * * June 6-8 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * * June 15 - 2nd Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * July 2025 Certification \n\n\n * * July 11-13 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * * July 20 - 2nd Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * September 2025 Certification \n\n\n * * September 12-14 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive\n * September 21 \- 2nd Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * October 2025 Certification \n\n\n * * October 10-12 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * * October 19 - 2nd Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * November 2025 Certification \n\n\n * * November 14-16 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * * November 23 - 2nd Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * January 2026 Certification \n\n\n * * January 23-25 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * * February 1 - 2nd Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * February 2026 Certification \n\n\n * * February 20-22 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * * March 1 - 2nd Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * April 2026 Certification \n\n\n * * April 3-5 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive \n\n\n * * April 12 - 2nd Check-Out Dive\n * May 2026 Certification\n * May 15-17 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive \n * May 24 - 2nd Check-Out Dive\n\n\n\n \n\nOpen Water Dives \n\nThe second weekend of the certification will be when the students can complete their open water dives.
