As the nation’s first living-learning entrepreneurship program, Hinman CEOs is a groundbreaking initiative placing entrepreneurially-minded students from all technical and non-technical academic disciplines in a unique community. Students live together, learn about entrepreneurship, and can launch new ventures. The mission of Hinman CEOs is to foster an entrepreneurial spirit, create a sense of community and cooperation, and develop ethical leaders. All undergraduates from the University of Maryland, College Park are invited to apply for this competitive program. Brian Hinman, University of Maryland A. James Clark School of Engineering alumnus and successful entrepreneur, provided funding to initiate and support the Program. Living-Learning Environment The heart of the Hinman CEOs Program is the living community. All entering Hinman CEOs students live with Program participants in South Campus Commons. This provides maximum exposure to on-site mentors and instructors, as well as fellow students in the Hinman CEOs Program. All students may live with the Hinman CEOs for the entire two years of the Program. Residency is required for first year Program students and highly encouraged for second year Program students. Academic Opportunities Complementing the living environment are the learning opportunities. Each semester, Hinman CEOs enroll in one course exclusive to participants of the Program. Depending on your major, some or all of these courses may count toward your degree requirements for the upper level elective requirement and for satisfaction of upper level course work out of major. If all requirements are met, participants earn a Hinman CEOs Program notation on their transcript. See more at: http://www.hinmanceos.umd.edu/#sthash.EJpzsQWw.dpuf

The First-Year Innovation & Research Experience (FIRE) program at UMD is a two-year invitation-only research program that allows freshmen to establish university connections and research opportunities to help find academic success and professional paths. I was part of Autonomous Unmanned Systems innovation & research stream of FIRE program. The next generation of autonomous systems will operate in crowded environments filled with manned and unmanned vehicles. The required level of autonomy poses a range of technical and regulatory challenges beyond the current engineering state-of-the-art, and is an active area of research in academic, corporate, and government laboratories. The growth of the autonomous-systems industry is driving a need for educating and training a research-capable work force. Ongoing areas of autonomous unmanned systems research involve individual vehicle capabilities for sensing and control, as well as how groups of vehicles cooperate with one another without human intervention. Basic Research Challenges in Autonomous Unmanned Systems engaged by this stream: * Autonomous Systems Reliability * Guidelines for Ethical Autonomy * Autonomous System Verification & Validation * Platform-level Sense & Avoid Capabilities * Cooperative Control of Multiple Autonomous Vehicles * Managing the Interaction between Humans and Autonomous Systems http://fire.umd.edu

• Real-world NSA research project at UMD titled "Investigation & exploitation of native sensor technology in mobile devices to identify & develop new applications for emergency situations related to data streams derived from these native sensor technologies." • Prepared a white paper & made a presentation to National Security Agency. • Counts as upper division credit for Advanced Cybersecurity Experience for Students (ACES), the nation's first and only undergraduate honors cybersecurity program.

• Designed, built, and wired a secure computer network for a new branch. • Triaged computer issues and managed computer user security access.
