[Case Study]

Enhancing the mba student experience & facilitating career development through large-scale mentorship.

The Jones School of Business Mentorship Program has experienced strong engagement driven by shared challenges and identities, particularly around being a commuter student, managing a job, and transferring/switching schools.

Engagement has been particularly significant among traditionally underserved student populations:

• 64% of first-generation students are highly engaged vs. 49% of non-first-generation students
• 56% of underrepresented minorities (URM) are highly engaged vs. 50% of non-URM students
• 600+ conversations and 1,000+ text messages exchanged since program launch

There’s a clear philosophy at Rice that prioritizes quality of relationships and learning. I’m excited by the diverse concentrations offered, particularly in energy and strategy. Focusing on quality education, rather than trying to stomp all your classmates to be ranked #1, makes the environment more conducive towards real, lasting relationships. The spirit of cooperation, family, and individualized success is palpable and tipped my scales to Rice."

Case Study: Rice University

Rice university, shakeups in institutional technology can leave faculty and staff scrambling—especially when a long-running system is on its last legs..

Rice University was faced with a university-wide migration of general HR systems as well as a homegrown system for activity reporting that was dying and needed to be replaced, leaving major gaps in capabilities to manage important faculty affairs processes.

Rice decided to implement the full Interfolio Faculty Information System to bridge these gaps, giving the university a singular solution to manage faculty hiring and recruitment, academic appointments and timelines, activity data reporting, and reviews and promotions. “Before we started using Interfolio, we used different tools for different purposes,” shared Celeste Boudreaux, former Assistant Vice Provost for Academic Affairs. “It was important for us to have a tool that covered as many different parts of the faculty lifecycle in one company as possible.”

Themes Discussed

Greater transparency in less time, using interfolio to handle 80% of the data legwork.

• Faculty Buy-in Fuels Successful Implementation

After Rice administration announced an upcoming transition to a one-size-fits-all HRIS, Boudreaux and her team recognized the need for a new solution to support the nuances of faculty hiring at the university. Thus, the first priority for her team was implementing Interfolio Faculty Search. The institution followed with Interfolio Review, Promotion & Tenure as well as Interfolio Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR), which helped resolve the issue of the old homegrown system that needed to be replaced. Rice is also in the process of implementing Interfolio Lifecycle Management, filling voids in the new HR system for tracking certain kinds of faculty milestones.

Prior to Interfolio, the promotion and tenure process at Rice was very much manual—with the exception of digitizing papers into PDFs, which would then be uploaded to an online file-sharing tool. “That was a big win for us to be able to make that process more automated and have a workflow where everybody could have visibility,” noted Boudreaux. Interfolio helps bring greater transparency to the process, which is incredibly beneficial if an appeal arises. It also helps save time, as questions or issues that used to require lengthy research to respond to can now be answered quickly by checking the case in Interfolio. “It’s important to have a process that is documented,” said Boudreaux, “and that everybody can look back and see what happened.”

In order to save faculty and staff time on data input for accurate activity reporting, Rice also uses Interfolio Data Service—a powerful capability that fuels Interfolio Faculty Activity Reporting. “By bringing in data from our other campus systems, that takes care of about 40% of what we need to be populated in FAR,” shared Boudreaux. “With the Interfolio Data Service, that brings in about another 40% of the publications part. So that only leaves 20% that has to be manually entered by someone.” The Interfolio Data Service seeks out and pulls in data tied to the institution’s faculty from a pool of over 250 million publications from over 260,000 journals and other reliable sources, giving faculty the opportunity to verify the data and, if accurate, add the items to their record. “It brings in the authoritative, complete, accurate data into a structured record,” added Boudreaux. “It makes it very searchable, and it lets Interfolio be able to display it according to the faculty member’s choice in all these different citation styles. We’re really excited about that functionality.”

“The faculty definitely benefit from using Interfolio at Rice,” she noted. “It saves them time on administrative tasks so that they can focus on what’s really important: their research, their teaching, their service.” Boudreaux shared that Interfolio also helps administrators such as herself make decisions that are evidence-based and not anecdote-based, thanks to the availability of more consistent centralized data. “It’s helpful all the way up from the department staff—whose time is also being used more productively— to the faculty, to the senior administrators,” she said. “It’s helping everybody.”

Faculty Buy-in Fuels Successful Implementations

Several years prior to implementing Interfolio, Rice had attempted to roll out another system for faculty activity reporting. Unfortunately, the technology proved to be difficult for faculty to use, resulting in complaints that eventually led to the system being removed after just a few months. “I know what an implementation can look like if it’s not the right product,” said Boudreaux. “You can check all the checkboxes, but if the faculty don’t like it and won’t use it, it won’t succeed.”

Boudreaux noted how intuitive Interfolio has been for faculty, who are able to easily navigate the system and do what they need to do. “What we have learned is that a big value of Interfolio is that it is made with the faculty primarily in mind. It is very user-friendly,” she noted. This ease of use helps streamline processes for faculty, ensuring they can spend less time on things like manual data entry for reports or gathering details from various sources for their promotion and tenure cases. “Anything that you have to train the whole faculty body on how to use is a high-stakes endeavor,” she said. “The less we heard from the faculty, the more we knew we were on the right track.”

Rice University saves time and lowers stress with Cayuse’s smooth proposal routing

In a few short months, all paper proposals were replaced with electronic ones.

At Rice University, it was time-consuming and inefficient to route research proposals among department administrators and principal investigators (PIs). For years, everything was done on paper and organized through cover sheets. To get the required signatures for approval and submission, research administrators had to walk proposals around campus and return them to the Office of Sponsored Research (OSR), where they were logged in at the front desk and reviewed. Any changes to these proposals were emailed, and the proposals themselves were re-entered, line-by-line, into FastLane, Grants.gov, or other sponsors’ forms for submission. If any required documents were missing, OSR staff members had to circle back with everyone involved to track down necessary documents. Finally, in the evenings, an OSR staff member entered all the day’s proposals into Ellucian Banner, the university’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution.

Rice is a U.S. News & World Report top 20 research institution receiving around $120 million in awards a year and has several research-intensive departments. Routing paper around campus and entering data twice was wasting time and complicating the submission process, so administrators and faculty were shying away from more complicated—and lucrative—funding opportunities. Rice needed an electronic solution to manage its sponsored projects.

Staff had to walk proposals around campus, return them to the office, log them in at the front desk, and enter them into the ERP.

Rice selected Sponsored Projects , a proposal lifecycle management solution from Cayuse, for its ease of use and quick implementation. Rice soon began converting its legacy data and soon Sponsored Projects was fully implemented.

When Rice first rolled out Sponsored Projects campus-wide, the OSR encouraged users to learn how to use the system through resources such as a dedicated training website with videos and screenshots and a dedicated full-time trainer. Because Sponsored Projects is so intuitive and user-friendly, many PIs only needed to watch the training videos to learn the system. Without an enforced mandate, Sponsored Projects quickly became the system of choice. OSR tracked the amount of proposals that came in on paper for manual input into the system versus electronic proposals created and found that within five months of rollout, 100% of Rice’s users were employing the new system.

Without an enforced mandate, Sponsored Projects quickly became the system of choice.

The benefits of using Sponsored Projects were felt almost immediately. Academic department staff members no longer had to hand-deliver proposals to multiple offices across campus or chase down signatures. Faculty and department administrators saw an immediate reduction in stress and time, now that managing the proposal life cycle was straightforward and less demanding. OSR staff members were also saving considerable hours every day, now that they no longer had to use a paper-based system for award management as well as data entry of proposal and award information into Banner.

Rice also reduced unnecessary, repetitive data entry by implementing Cayuse’s Data Management integration modules, which keep both Sponsored Projects and Banner up to date. Prior to the Sponsored Projects implementation, OSR staff had to manually enter all proposal data into Banner, but with integration modules, everything that is entered into Cayuse automatically transfers to Banner.

With an electronic proposal management solution in place, Rice can now trust that its proposals and ERP data are up to the minute and dependable. Without the old administrative strain on proposals, PIs, faculty members, and OSR employees can instead focus on writing successful grants and expanding Rice University’s research.

Rice also reduced unnecessary, repetitive data entry by implementing Cayuse.

Case studies in floodplain buyouts: looking to best practices to drive the conversation in the houston region, report : feb. 5, 2018 hurricane harvey | urban planning.

A look at best practices from other jurisdictions engaged in the hazard mitigation strategy of strategic property buyouts.

After Hurricane Harvey, conversation quickly turned to buyouts as a cost effective way to deal with homes in flood-prone areas. Public officials and others called for extensive buyouts by local jurisdictions that would purchase flooded homes in the floodplain, demolish them and then leave those spaces as open space in perpetuity. Homeowners, too, expressed interest, calling city and county services in the region asking about eligibility for such a program. And it wasn’t the first time buyouts emerged as a popular solution. In fact between 1985 and 2017, the Harris County Flood Control District purchased more properties than any other jurisdiction in the country. But as it prepares to complete another round of buyouts, the Kinder Institute for Urban Research looked to other jurisdictions to see how it might be done more effectively and with the future in mind this report.

Buyouts are a popular hazard mitigation but examples from across the country offer innovative ways to improve the process.

Buyouts are just one of the options on the table in Houston.

Mission: Empower Researchers, Faculty and Students

To complete its ambitious data analysis project, one that would empower researchers and students, Rice University would need to implement the school’s first 3-D data visualization lab.  That responsibility went to AVI-SPL, whose team of Control Room Group experts has deep experience with developing and integrating solutions that present complex sets of data through visually accessible interfaces.

For the Data Analysis and Visualization Cyber-Infrastructure (DAVinCI) project, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and deployed in the Chevron Visualization laboratory, Rice selected a 200-inch 3-D, stereoscopic, immersive visualization screen, which helps researchers understand structures spanning molecules, nanotubes, subsurface images, astrophysics, bridges and buildings.

“The technology solution needed to be completely transparent so users could conduct their work unencumbered,” says Bill Schmidt, AVI-SPL Control Room Group market manager.

Action: Advance Multidisciplinary Research Through Visualization

At the forefront of the visualization solution is Barco’s OLS-521 3-D stereoscopic video wall. The wall boasts some pretty impressive specs worthy of its task. Thirty-three million pixels are compacted into an image area that measures 14’ wide and 8’ high.

The sharp resolution and 3-D presentation enables researchers to see and manipulate details that would otherwise be invisible.

“We provided just the right level of fidelity for users to view their scientific data to enhance collaboration and discovery,” says Schmidt.

Bringing the future to life

“There is a lot of excitement about using the wall, finding ways to use visualization, and developing workflows that will help advance our research objectives.”

Jan Odegard

Executive Director, Ken Kennedy Institute for Information Technology

Impact: Advances in Science and Beyond

“Users who have visited the lab and started using the DAVinCI visualization wall have been very impressed with its capabilities,” says Erik Engquist, Manager of Rice’s Chevron Visualization laboratory.

The increased computational power of the visualization wall will help Rice’s researchers make new discoveries while also   preparing students for careers in which data visualization is a valuable skill, spanning several disciplines.  Data imagery can be shared with as many as 25 students or professionals wearing specially designed 3-D glasses.

“There is a lot of excitement about using the wall, finding ways to use visualization and developing workflows that will help advance our research objectives,” says Jan Odegard, Rice’s executive director of the Ken Kennedy Institute for Information Technology (K2I).  “Not only do we see interest across the schools of science and engineering, but also in the schools of architecture, social science and humanities.”

“We committed to Rice University, as a long-term partner, to develop a solution which can evolve over time,” says Schmidt. “We are extremely pleased to be part of the groundbreaking work being done by the Rice University DAVinCI team.”

TIER Campus Success Program Case Study

Executive summary

Leveraging the software components provided by TIER and the ideas and assistance provided by the TIER community, Rice’s Identity First project will realign the flow of identity data across the university’s business applications.

This was done to increase automation, reduce errors, consolidate identity data, allow for more loose coupling of business processes, and increase personal data privacy and control for the Rice community.

• TIER API Working Group

Community resources

The Internet2 TIER API Working Group was invaluable in their discussions of the best practices and thoughts around the future state of using the TIER components in a holistic identity management infrastructure.

The project

Rice’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) group and High Performance Computing (HPC) group came together to discuss issues facing the campus and HPC in particular with regard to sponsored accounts. HPC creates a lot of sponsored accounts for access to their computing clusters, and is very sensitive to the failings in the current process. The groups decided to redesign a new sponsored account process to correct the failings of the existing system and provide a more user friendly, timely and efficient process.

The problem

Rice’s current sponsored account system is limited and constrained by the legacy home-grown identity management system to which it was added. Because the identity management system does not support more than the one system of record well, this has always been problematic for individuals moving from one system of record to the other. The design of the current sponsored account system is also limiting, either giving too little access to IT resources or giving too much.  

There is no granularity in the services that can be applied through the system other than through manual intervention.

The sponsor application review process adds yet another user irritation to the whole mix. While the review process, run out of our risk management office, is needed for the physical aspects of the sponsored account system (like ID cards, parking spaces, and library access), those needing simple access to IT resources are also constrained by the same review process. And once that review process has begun, it is nearly impossible to make changes to the application, if say, the sponsor chose the wrong resources for the guest increasing the five-day turnaround time to weeks.

The solution

Rice’s IAM group has started a project known as Identity First. This project will realign the major workflows and data transfers around the university’s business applications to increase automation, reduce errors, consolidate identity data, allow for more loose coupling of business processes, and increase personal data privacy and control for the Rice community. This project will involve business and service owners across the university from Human Resources and the Registrar to Academic schools and departments, to various Office of Information Technology departments.  

The first phase of the Identity First project will be to prepare for the major transition of our legacy identity management system that will replace the aging components of our IdM system with new, more modern components coming out of the Internet2’s Trust and Identity in Research and Education (TIER) program. This new TIER compatible environment is based on Docker containers.

Rice was fortunate to be included in TIER’s Campus Success Program. This helped get the first phase of the project off the ground, not only with Docker training that helped jumpstart our knowledge in this area, but also with the knowledge-sharing with the Internet2 subject matter experts and other program members. Being a part of the program gave us the support we needed to keep us going and moving forward. Rice worked on documenting our TIER Docker environment through the DevOps Deployment guide, and this experience has helped us to not only have a record what we did, but helped the team have a better understanding of all of the components even if they didn’t work on all parts.

The second phase of Identity First will involve work on two fronts; work on the user ingress portal that will encompass the requirements for the sponsored account process, and the testing/integration of the new TIER entity registry (MidPoint) that will serve as the repository for all identity information.  

The third phase of Identity First will involve the integration of the new ingress portal and the existing sponsored account process to ensure that all IT resources are properly handled through the Identity First interface while all approvals and non-IT functions are passed seamlessly onto the parts of the old sponsored account process that must be kept. This way the IT resources needed can be provisioned prior to the approval workflow finishing, allowing for a quicker turnaround for the user experience.

This project is still ongoing.  

Phase one of the Identity First project has been completed. The production Docker environment is running and the issues and workflows necessary to run two of the TIER components, Grouper and Shibboleth, have been addressed. We already have seen a huge benefit in time savings.  Any time either of these applications required a software update, it used to take us about 3 weeks to build, test, and prepare new hardware for deployment. Now it is taking about 1.5 hours to do the same, freeing our limited staff time to work on other more pressing issues.

Phase two will begin in January 2019, when the TIER Midpoint component will be brought online in a test environment so that work on the sponsored application system can start utilizing the increased functionality provided by the new base software. Phase three will be started upon completion of phase two.

Lessons learned

We started this journey using the TIER reference Docker Swarm configuration. Since that time, Rancher 2.0 has been released, which is a management system for Kubernetes. We are now investigating moving over to Rancher 2.0 to support the management of both local (on campus) and remote (on Amazon Web Services) clusters.

Conclusions

Rice has found the community involvement and interaction between Internet2, the TIER Campus Success Program members and subject matter experts to be invaluable in this journey.  Being able to bounce ideas and thoughts off of others with similar issues and desires, with a shared goal of improving our respective environments, made the process much less overwhelming that it would have been otherwise.

Rice University

Teacher, researcher and co-founder of a startup medical robotics company, Dr. Marcia O’Malley is committed to finding engineering solutions for physical rehabilitation challenges. An Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Rice University in Houston, Texas, Dr. O’Malley runs the university’s Mechatronics and Haptic Interfaces Lab (MAHI). In that capacity she is involved in multiple rehabilitation, haptic and robotic research projects, focusing on such areas as surgical skill acquisition, haptic response fidelity, and robotic rehabilitation device development, specifically the Wrist and the RiceWrist exoskeleton for arm and forearm rehab.

Getting pilot data quickly to ensure research is well-funded

The popular notion that it “takes a village to raise a child” has an interesting corollary in the world of engineering research. Quite often it takes a diverse community of academic disciplines and institutions to bring research projects to fruition. That’s certainly true in the recent work developing the RiceWrist, a rehabilitation robot that would provide therapy and evaluate spinal cord injury patients.

“It took a lot of resources to move our project forward, says Dr. O’Malley. “But to get those resources we needed pilot data that showed we could make a good case that our robotic rehabilitation project for spinal cord injury was a worthwhile thing to pursue.”

Dr. O’Malley needed to rely on her project’s seed funding to get all the way to patient trials. That presented her with a host of challenges. She had to proceed quickly. She also was working with a very limited budget and a single research associate. As a result, she and her associate had to continuously develop their control software and refine the functionality of the rehab robot arm in order to demonstrate that this project was valuable and deserved continued funding.

Quanser's rapid prototyping, simplicity and speed are the keys

The entire process depended on rapid controller development and implementation, using Quanser’s QUARC rapid prototyping software and the Q8 card for accurate, detailed data acquisition.

Dr. O’Malley found the Q8 was an ideal data acquisition and control interface for this project because their robotic arm has five degrees of freedom. Having one interface card plugged into one computer slot really simplified the communication from the PC to the hardware. Using one data acquisition card for all the channels allowed her to avoid the unnecessary complexity of adding several cards to get the same 5DOF information. Then, because of QUARC’s pre-defined function block sets. Dr. O’Malley was able to go from interfacing with a model to interfacing with hardware quickly.

As she put it, “The computation speed and the communication speed between the Q8 board and the QUARC environment is excellent, and completely fulfilled our needs. So we were able to gather information quickly, learn what worked and didn’t work, then implement the necessary rapid design changes to the controller.”

This was important, in part because Dr. O’Malley and her research associate were developing all this in conjunction with rehab clinicians who would be dealing with the rehab patients. The strategy they chose was to have hardware in their lab that mirrored the hardware deployed in the hospital.

”In the hospital, the therapists can actually see how well the robot works with their patients. That allowed the therapists to better articulate their needs. For example, they could tell us if they required more range of motion, more or less resistance, or some additional functionality. By using QUARC rapid prototyping software, we had a lab platform that allowed us to quickly modify and update our controller design and deliver on their changes.”

How quickly? Dr. O’Malley’s research associate could come back to the lab and implement the latest changes in one afternoon. He could then return to the hospital, upload the new controller design, test it out and it’d be ready to go for the patient the next day. “That’s how quickly QUARC enabled us to refine and implement our controller design. The speed of QUARC is an important key to the whole development process.”

By working with the therapists and patients early in the process, Dr. O’Malley and her associate were able to enact continuous improvement on the hardware and software interface. They’re currently collecting data from a trial with multiple subjects in a more controlled experiment and seeing really positive results of the robotic rehabilitation. “I want to note Quanser’s high level of customer support throughout our development process,” Dr. O’Malley says. It’s not uncommon for my students to get on the phone with someone at Quanser who wrote the block they’re working with. The Quanser Academic Solutions Advisor has been extremely helpful since he knows the problems we were facing, and the applications. He always connects us to the right people to solve or discuss any issue that arises.”

More funding and new project possibilities

Today the rehab robot project continues to move forward. “Thanks to Quanser hardware and software, our process could be iterative and produce the best output possible in a short amount of time. We now have hard pilot data that positions us to get additional funding to develop the Wrist on a larger scale. We’ve gotten interest from a major funding foundation to move towards a more robust and viable form of the hardware. And the hospital we’re working with wants to deploy to multiple sites potentially.”

There is potential to develop this project beyond the rehabilitation realm. “Broadly speaking, the goal of MAHI is to design and develop robotic or mechatronic devices and their associated controllers to enhance or augment the human sensory-motor control system,” says Dr. O’Malley. “What we’ve learned from with QUARC and the Q8 data acquisition board can help us develop haptic interfaces coupled to virtual environments for training a wide range of new skills. It could be rehabilitation after a stroke or a spinal cord injury, or it could be a pilot learning to fly an airplane. There are some pretty significant similarities between relearning and learning. And we think we now have some pretty impressive hardware and software tools to contribute to that grander development.”

Researchers use KaleidaGraph to analyze the brain's selection mechanism for preferential processing

We create a graph template that fits the data of a specific experiment and then plug multiple datasets into that template, creating quick and easy waveform plots for data exploration and publication.

The study of the brain is a fascinating and complicated endeavor. As a limited-capacity information processing system the brain has a selection mechanism that identifies things that need preferential processing. Yet scientists and researchers still don’t know how that selection mechanism works.

Researchers in the psychology department at Rice University are working on a theory that the brain’s reward motivation system, which uses the neurotransmitter dopamine, is involved in this selection by identifying objects and actions that are either more or less rewarding than expected. Those items and actions that exceed or fail to meet reward expectation are selected for preferential processing. If this model is correct, it adds a critical piece of the understanding of attention and working memory.

These researchers also believe that this selection system malfunctions in some mental illnesses (for example, the dopamine system is disordered in schizophrenia, and patients with schizophrenia have disordered thinking, as if the wrong items were being selected for processing).

Scientists are also looking at how altered functioning of this reward-based selection system might be related to substance-abuse disorder by mistakenly identifying drug-related items as excessively rewarding and by underestimating the negative consequences of risky behaviors.

Ongoing neuroimaging studies tracked at laboratory

In the psychology lab at Rice University, ongoing neuroimaging studies of perception, attention, and motivation are performed on normal subjects and in patients with psychopathology. Three lines of work are currently taking place – line 1: work on the basic model in normal cognition, line 2: examining how the system goes wrong in schizophrenia, line 3: studying substance abuse and personality characteristics associated with substance abuse. Each line has one or more ongoing experiments and each experiment takes approximately 2-4 years to complete, from conception to publication.

Most of the work so far has involved around 200-300 normal college students studying the basic mechanisms of attention and motivation. Data has also been acquired from 30-40 patients with schizophrenia and 50 or more patients with substance abuse.

KaleidaGraph used to plot multi-dimensional data

The researchers in the lab previously used in-house applications (text-interface) or inflexible plotting sub-routines of software designed for digital-signal processing of brain electrical activity. These were either no longer supported or did not have sufficient flexibility to meet their needs. Then they turned to KaleidaGraph.

Multi-dimensional data (time (milliseconds) x amplitude (microvolts) x location (128 scalp recording electrodes) x experimental condition or diagnostic group or combination (e.g. schizophrenia patients attending vs. patients not attending vs. control subjects attending and not attending)) is plotted. These are usually multiple (one for each recording electrode) time (x-axis) by voltage (y-axis) line overplots (one-line-type for each group in each condition).

“We quickly generate time x voltage plots of human brain electrical activity using KaleidaGraph,” states Geoffrey Potts, who is now an Associate Professor at the University of South Florida and a KaleidaGraph user since 2003. “We create a graph template that fits the data of a specific experiment and then plug multiple datasets into that template, creating quick and easy waveform plots for data exploration and publication.”

Augusto X. Rodriguez Department Chair [email protected]

The Department of Kinesiology is the home of two academic majors, i.) Health Sciences and ii.) Sports Medicine and Exercise Physiology .

Major in Health Sciences

The goal of the health sciences major is to provide students with a fundamental background in health promotion and disease prevention. This background will enable them to understand the role that health promotion plays in society and the mechanisms that affect public and community health, while also considering the complexities of maintaining an optimal level of personal health. The health sciences major is viewed as an excellent option for undergraduate students who are preparing to enter graduate school in public health, health promotion, and health education, as well as other health-related graduate or professional programs, such as medicine or dentistry. 

Major in Sports Medicine and Exercise Physiology

The goal of the sports medicine and exercise physiology major is to provide a strong foundation in basic science and interface this with the study of the human body and application to human movement, performance, and exercise. This major provides a foundation for continued studies in graduate school, allied health, physical therapy, or medicine. Graduates are also prepared to pursue exercise or wellness careers in fitness or sport settings.

Bachelor's Programs

• Bachelor of Arts (BA) Degree with a Major in Health Sciences
• Bachelor of Arts (BA) Degree with a Major in Sports Medicine and Exercise Physiology

Kinesiology does not currently offer an academic program at the graduate level.
