March 2019 Brownbag
The second brownbag for the spring semester was held in March 7, 2019. Like the previous summer brownbag, this one also experienced less participation. Almost all the social science graduate students were away in Ethiopia for their data collection.
In this Brownbag, the participation of the undergraduate students was highlighted. As the NSF PIRE project gave the opportunity to a total number of 9 undergraduate students to perform pilot research projects within the scope of the PIRE Water and Food Security Project, they took the time to discuss about their specific plans. The engineering graduate students who were present in the Brownbag discussed with the undergraduates on the feasibility aspects of their research plans.
The graduate students also discussed about their specific plans for the field visits, with emphasis on the summer school activities and model results. In short, the specific actions performed in the Brownbag was,
- Discussing with UConn undergraduate students regarding their research plans.
- Sharing research ideas and providing a brief understanding on the project goals.
- Discussing engineering model results, social survey feedbacks from field, etc.
- Detailed plan on Summer 2019 field visits and expectations.
- Demonstration of the summer school activities to be held in the Summer of 2019
