Biometric research centers on five fundamental areas: data collection, signal processing, decision-making, transmission, and storage. Traditionally, research occurred in subsets of the discipline in separate departments within universities such as algorithm development in computer science, and speech and computer vision in electrical engineering. In the fall semester of 2002, a class in Biometric Technology and Applications was developed to encourage cross-disciplinary education, where all areas of the biometric model would come together and address issues such as research methodologies and the implementation of biometrics in society at large. The course has been modified to accommodate a wider audience, incorporate graduate student research, which is the foundation for modular mini-courses tailored to specific majors and issues. Having an interdisciplinary group of student’s better mirrors the makeup of jobs involved in biometrics, such as management, marketing, or research. The challenge lies in providing a course that accounts for these diverse needs.
This document discusses the evolution of a graduate biometrics course at Purdue University. When first offered in 2002, the goal was to provide a functional knowledge of biometrics that could transfer to careers in information security. However, the course has since been modified to accommodate more interdisciplinary students and advancements in biometrics technology. The course originally took an overview approach but has incorporated more applied research projects over time. As biometrics technology has become more statistically advanced, the course has focused more on data collection and analysis. However, balancing statistical challenges with maintaining student interest and understanding has been an ongoing effort as the mathematical backgrounds and prerequisites of enrolled students have not kept pace with technological developments.
This document summarizes the development of a graduate course in biometrics at Purdue University. The course was developed in conjunction with a new applied biometrics research laboratory funded through industry partnerships. The course examines various biometric technologies from different perspectives and includes hands-on research projects. Students evaluate biometric devices and test their performance under different conditions. The goal is to provide students with applied research experience that can benefit their careers and help industry partners improve their technologies. The course covers topics like fingerprinting, facial recognition, and dynamic signature verification through lectures and small student research teams.
This paper presents a case study for integrating applied research into a graduate level course in biometrics. The biometrics course at Purdue University has a diverse range of students, with majors varying from Computer Science, Computer and Information Technology, Industrial Technology, and Information Security. Therefore, the knowledge that students bring to the class, with respect to statistical knowledge, etc varies tremendously. Many times the students are senior undergraduates or first year graduate students, and they have not been exposed much to research activities. The challenge for the instructors is to incorporate applied research principles, wrapped around the concepts of biometric technologies and modalities that students can then use in their respective disciplines, and at the same time have a greater understanding of biometrics and their use within their majors. Biometrics is defined as automated recognition of humans using physiological or behavioral characteristics. The field of biometrics has received increasing attention in the last decade which has led to engineering courses integrating biometrics into their respective curricula. Biometric technologies are still in developmental stages, and courses teaching biometric technologies have to be cognizant of its dynamic nature. The goal of this course is to provide these students with an avenue to become involved in the research activities of the lab.

Minding the gap: Bridging Computing Science and Business Studies with an Inte...Simon Fraser University
For today’s information technology organization, working in teams across functional and even organizational boundaries has become an integral part of every project. When asked about these projects, practitioners regularly report on how grave differences between business professionals and tech- nology teams have negatively affected project performance. The serious gap between how the two sides think, talk and work is systemic already in the training and education of both Business and Computer Science students at the univer- sity level. This paper describes the design of a competitive SFU Innovation Challenge which aims to bridge that gap by tasking interdisciplinary groups to create iPhone application prototypes and related business innovation roadmaps. This document then summarizes the objectives of the SFU Inno- vation Challenge, and reports on the difficulties and posi- tive results that materialized when students combined their technological problem- solving techniques and managerial strategies for effectively confronting real-world problems.

Project Management Courses in IS Graduate Programs What is Being .docxwkyra78
The document summarizes a study that surveyed project management courses in graduate information systems programs. It found that:
1) Courses covered "hard skills" like project scope, time, and cost management extensively but gave less coverage to "soft skills" like human resources and communications management. Procurement management had very little coverage.
2) Coverage aligned well with a benchmark course in areas like work breakdown, estimation, and networks, but covered project chartering and dealing with vendors/suppliers to a lesser degree.
3) Overall, coverage matched the Project Management Institute's standards well for some topics but could improve in covering softer skills, procurement management, and learning from post-project audits.

A Single Case Study Approach To Teaching Effects On Learning And UnderstandingKaren Benoit
This document discusses a study on using a single case study approach to teaching an IT project management course. The researchers initially found that the approach did not sufficiently encourage deep learning in students. They modified the pedagogy by rewriting the case study to better align with research on effective case studies. In subsequent offerings, they evaluated whether these changes increased the number of students taking a deep learning approach and related their approach to academic performance. Preliminary results from the second offering did not show a significant increase in deep learning approaches. The researchers planned to continue evaluating the approach.
A Study on Impact of Multimedia Approach Teaching –Learning ProcessIRJET Journal
This study examined the impact of using multimedia approaches in teaching and learning biology compared to traditional teaching methods. Students were assigned to either an experimental group that was taught using multimedia technologies or a control group that used traditional teaching only. Both groups took a pre-test and post-test on biology topics. The results found no significant difference between the groups on the pre-test, but the experimental multimedia group performed significantly better on the post-test, indicating that multimedia approaches can improve student academic achievement when learning biology. The study concluded that integrating multimedia elements like audio, video and animations into lessons helps students learn and understand biology concepts better than solely traditional methods.

Following the unprecedented outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), educators and students have shifted from conventional face-to-face lectures to fully virtual sessions that were delivered via video conferencing software. This research investigates the facilitating conditions and the students' perceptions toward using these interactive resources to continue their learning journey. The data was gathered through a structured questionnaire among 777 students in tertiary education. The survey instrument comprised valid measures that are frequently utilized in academia, to evaluate the individuals' acceptance of interactive educational technologies. A partial least squares (PLS) approach revealed that there were very significant factors that were predicting the students' dispositions to utilize synchronous learning programs. The findings underlined the importance of providing appropriate facilitating conditions to improve perceptions and attitudes toward interactive conferencing software. These results reflect the latest developments, as COVID-19 has inevitably accelerated the digital transformation in the realms of education. This contribution implies that students adapted well to a new normal. It confirmed that they are willing to participate and engage in virtual meetings through video conferencing programs.

Applying User Experience and Usercentered Design Software Processes in Underg...IJCI JOURNAL
Agile methods in undergraduate courses have been explored by various authors looking to close the gap between industry and professional profiles. We have structured an Android application development course based on a tailored agile process for development of educational software tools. This process is based on both Scrum and Extreme Programming in combination with User Experience (UX) and User-Centered Design (UCD) approaches. The course is executed in two phases: the first half of the course’s semester presents theory on agile and mobile applications development, the latter half is managed as a workshop where students develop for an actual client. The introduction of UX and UCD exploiting the close relationship with stakeholders expected from an agile process can enhance Quality in Use features. Since 2019 two of the projects have been extended in agreement between the client and students. Students, clients and users have found value in the generated products.

Investigating the roles of demographic profiles on usability assessment: case...IAESIJAI
Postgraduate education is the highest education structure in all countries across global. In Malaysia, postgraduate education is usually pursued by several candidates, such as academicians, professionals, and motivated junior learners. As such, one of the requirements of postgraduate education is to have a publication as a mandatory graduation requirement. Thus, one of the challenging issues in the publication is to ensure the quality of the references and citation. However, the lack of mobile applications available that focus on citation management caused several problems such as succumbing to predatory journals, poor citation work, desk rejection, and
inaccurate facts. Therefore, the purpose of this study is twofold: first, to investigate the roles and usability assessment of CiteGuru application as a mobile solution for improving learners’ skills, ability, and knowledge on referencing and second, to investigate the roles of demographic profiles on the usability perception among the respondents. A quantitative research methodology using a survey was adopted with 23 expert panels selected based on three distinct positions–academic, industries, and librarians. Data were analysed using statistical package for social science version 26. The result indicates that i) the panel rate the usability of the application as
acceptable and ii) demographic profiles (sector, education, and gender) prove insignificant on the usability assessment.

TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL
Introduction
IT acceptance has over the last few years received considerable attention. Various theoretical models have been proposed to explain the end-users’ acceptance
behavior (Al-Emran, Mezhuyev, & Kamaludin, 2018). Among the various theoretical models, TAM that was proposed by Davis is typically applied and empirically
tested. Technology acceptance model (TAM) The technology acceptance model is an information system theory that is used in modeling how users normally accept
technology use. This is a model that is considered to be one of the most influential and commonly used theories. It is therefore very critical in describing the
importance of technological innovations in e-commerce. The practical system use is the ultimate conclusion that users want people to be willing to do something
regarding technology, and also need to establish behavioral intention which may e a factor that would encourage people to use the innovation. The behavioral
intention is said to be affected by the attitude (A) of the general understanding of the technology (Nugroho, Bakar, & Ali, 2017). Many studies have been conducted
globally to investigate TAM’s relevance in understanding e-learning acceptance among the students. In many regions, e-learning is adopted for its assumed potential

Use of Traditional Teaching Methods and Multimedia Techniques in Classroom Te...IRJET Journal
This document discusses using traditional teaching methods versus multimedia techniques in the classroom. It begins by outlining the need to engage students while delivering necessary knowledge to improve learning. Technology offers tools like computers, the internet, and videos that can be used. The study aims to determine how learners' performance is affected by multimedia-supported education compared to traditional teaching methods. It hypothesizes that there will be no significant difference in academic achievement in biology for underachieving students between the two approaches. The methodology will involve an experiment to test this.
Comprender lo que es un proyecto educativo implica identificar un problema, sus causas y consecuencias y a partir de ello planear un proceso para alcanzar el objetivo que lo solucione total o parcialmente. Este proceso implica desde la selección del problema, su tratamiento y la presentación del informe de resultados: concepción, planeamiento, formulación de acciones, implementación y evaluación. El aprendizaje colaborativo es la instancia de aprendizaje que se concreta mediante la participación de dos o más individuos en la búsqueda de información, o en la exploración tendiente a lograr una mejor comprensión o entendimiento compartido de un concepto, problema o situación. (scagnoli, 2005). Es así que en la materia de Electricidad y Electrónica Industrial que se imparte en la carrera de Ingeniería Industrial se ha utilizado todo lo referente al ámbito del aprendizaje colaborativo, para que todos los alumnos del grupo elaboraran el libro de texto del módulo, cumpliendo con el programa oficial de la carrera aprobado por el Tecnológico Nacional de México. En este orden de ideas, leidner y jarvenpaa (1995), señalan que el aprendizaje colaborativo, además de ayudar a desarrollar el pensamiento crítico en los estudiantes, también contribuye a mejorar las relaciones interpersonales, pues implica que cada uno de los miembros aprenda a escuchar, discernir y comunicar sus ideas u opiniones a los otros con un enfoque positivo y constructivista. Por otra parte, barab, thomas y merrill (2001), se refieren al aprendizaje colaborativo, como la construcción de significado que resulta de compartir experiencias personales. Estos autores insisten que los entornos virtuales ayudan a los modelos educativos a ser más participativos, y amplían las oportunidades de investigación, comunicación y distribución del conocimiento.
A Systematic Literature Review Of Requirements Engineering EducationEmma Burke
This systematic literature review examines research on requirements engineering (RE) education over the past decade. The review aims to (1) map the current state of RE education research, (2) summarize current educational practices and learning outcomes, and (3) evaluate how the field has changed since a previous review in 2012. A systematic search of academic databases identified relevant papers. Key findings include that RE education research is published across various venues and collaboration between researchers is limited. Common educational approaches involve real or simulated stakeholders and focus on elicitation. Learning outcomes emphasize improving students' communication and motivation. Opportunities remain for developing security and risk management training as well as an evidence-based pedagogical foundation.
Similar to (2004) Adaptation and Implementation to a Graduate Course Development in Biometrics (20)
This research focused on classifying Human-Biometric Sensor Interaction errors in real-time. The Kinect 2 was used as a measuring device to track the position and movements of the subject through a simulated border control environment. Knowing, in detail, the state of the subject ensures that the human element of the HBSI model is analyzed accurately. A network connection was established with the iris device to know the state of the sensor and biometric system elements of the model. Information such as detection rate, extraction rate, quality, capture type, and more metrics was available for use in classifying HBSI errors. A Federal Inspection Station (FIS) booth was constructed to simulate a U.S. border control setting in an International airport. The subjects were taken through the process of capturing iris and fingerprint samples in an immigration setting. If errors occurred, the Kinect 2 program would classify the error and saved these for further analysis.
IT 34500 is an undergraduate course offered to Purdue West Lafayette students. The course gives an introduction into biometrics and automatic identification and data capture technologies
The human signature provides a natural and publically-accepted legally-admissible method for providing authentication to a process. Automatic biometric signature systems assess both the drawn image and the temporal aspects of signature construction, providing enhanced verification rates over and above conventional outcome assessment. To enable the capture of these constructional data requires the use of specialist ‘tablet’ devices. In this paper we explore the enrolment performance using a range of common signature capture devices and investigate the reasons behind user preference. The results show that writing feedback and familiarity with conventional ‘paper and pen’ donation configurations are the primary motivation for user preference. These results inform the choice of signature device from both technical performance and user acceptance viewpoints.
The inherent differences between secret-based authentication (such as passwords and PINs) and biometric authentication have left gaps in the credibility of biometrics. These gaps are due, in large part, to the inability to adequately cross-compare the two types of authentication. This paper provides a comparison between the two types of authentication by equating biometric entropy in the same way entropy of secrets are represented. Similar to the method used by Ratha, Connell, and Bolle [1], the x and y dimensions of the fingerprints were examined to determine all possible locations of minutiae. These locations were then examined based on the observed probability of minutiae occurring in each of the designated locations. The results of this work show statistically significant differences in the frequencies and probabilities of occurrence for minutiae location, type, and angle, across all possible minutiae locations. These components were applied to Shannon’s Information Theory [2] to determine the entropy of fingerprint biometrics, which was estimated to be equivalent to an 8.3-character, randomly chosen password
This course covers biometric usability testing with a focus on border control and mobile devices. The course objectives are to understand biometric systems, how people use them, testing methodologies, limitations, and research methods. Topics include genuine users, usability, attacks, border security, tokens, qualitative/quantitative research, and focus groups. Students will complete a research-based group project, assignments, and quizzes. The course uses lectures, discussions, guest speakers and students are expected to regularly attend and complete all work.
This document examines the stability of iris recognition over short periods of time. It analyzes iris scan data from 60 participants in a single visit lasting 10 minutes or less. The stability of each iris is measured using a stability score index. Statistical analysis finds no significant difference in stability scores between age groups, gender, or ethnicity. This suggests the iris remains stable within a single visit. Future work could examine stability over longer time periods and whether it decreases with more extended testing.
In this research, intra-visit match score stability was examined for the human iris. Scores were found to be statistically stable in this short time frame.

A lot of work done in Center recently has focused around different topics concerning "time". Iris stability across different "times" has been in the forefront due to work in the undergraduate class, IT345, the graduate class IT545, as well as work in Ben Petry's thesis. Of course "time" is a fairly inaccurate word to use. Assessing stability over time is very ambiguous to the research question. For example time may mean millisecond, months, years, or even life of the user. Upon further examination of other academic literature, the reporting of research duration, collection interval, and specific time frame of interest are sporadic at best and missing completely at worst. To solve this issue, the Center has created the biometric duration scale (BDS) model with associated suggested best practices for reporting time duration in biometrics.
The BDS model marries the general biometric model with HBSI model to create a logical flow of five phases: the presentation definition phase, sample phase, processing phase, and enrollment or matching phase. By tracking information through this progression such as specific subject presentations made, HBSI error, and FTE/Enrollment score (to name a few), performance within the general biometric model can be examined. The BDS model goes one step further by creating specific durations to report research specific metrics. By creating this model, outcomes that effect a yearly performance metrics can be looked at by examining monthly performance, daily performance, or even specific user presentations and how those subcomponents effect the whole system.
Additionally, best practices for the reporting of duration is also included. The reporting methodology stems from ISO 8601 and is in compliance with ISO 21920. In the common reporting structure, start date, duration, number of visits at how many intervals, and time scope of interest for the specific research are given in a logical, readily available format along with the very specific, detailed ISO 8601 methodology. The goal of creating a formal script for reporting research duration was to eliminate ambiguity and create an environment where replication and drawing parallels between research is encouraged.
The document examines the stability of iris recognition over a short period of time. It discusses how iris recognition works and why the iris is considered unique and stable over time. The research presented in the document analyzed iris image data collected over four weekly visits. The results showed no statistically significant difference in iris matching scores between the different visits, suggesting the iris is stable over a short time period. This supports the idea that the iris can be used for biometric identification applications that require stability over time.
ICBR has been involved in standards development for over 14 years through committees like INCITS M1 and ISO/IEC JTC1 SC37. To provide students real-world experience, students participated on these committees by submitting documents, comments, and reviews. This engagement between academia and standards development benefits both fields by allowing applied research and education in new and emerging technical areas.
The stability score index, conceptualized in 2013, was designed to address the weaknesses of the zoo menagerie and other performance metrics by quantifying the relative stability of a user from on condition to another. In this paper, the measure of interoperability is the stability score from enrolling on one sensor and verifying on multiple sensors. The results showed that like performance, individual performance were not stable across these sensors. When examining stability by sensor family (capacitance, optical and thermal) we find that capacitive as the enrollment sensor were the least stable. Both enrolling and verifying on a thermal sensor, individuals were the most stable of the three family types. With respect to interaction type, enrolling on touch and verifying on swipe was more stable than enrolling on swipe and verifying on swipe, which was an interesting finding. Individuals using the thermal sensor generated the most stable stability scores.
This document discusses advances in testing and evaluating human-biometric sensor interaction using a new model. It describes gaps in traditional biometric testing, such as how users interact with systems. A new Human Biometric Sensor Interaction model is presented and has been tested on iris and fingerprint biometrics. The model has been expanded to more complex systems like border gates. Testing looks at how users interact with biometric systems in different environments and factors like throughput. The goal is to better test and evaluate systems without overburdening test facilities.
This document discusses biometric testing and evaluation. It covers traditional biometric algorithm testing and more complex operational testing. There are gaps in areas like training, accessibility, human factors, and determining what causes errors. Filling these gaps is an ongoing work in progress as biometric devices become more complex and deployed in more environments and applications. Different types of testing include technology, scenario, and operational evaluations to adequately assess performance and usability.
This course provides an overview of biometric technology as it relates to security, access control, and authentication. It examines basic biometric terminology and various biometric modalities such as fingerprint, face, and iris recognition. Students will learn about biometric data evaluation and interpretation, standards, integration, and challenges. The course is divided into fundamental, modality, integration, and research building blocks to cover topics like identification, matching, fusion, standards, and interoperability.
This document outlines the structure and goals of a research study on the stability of iris recognition match scores over time. It introduces the problem statement around the lack of quantification of match score stability, and previews the research question, significance, purpose and scope, assumptions, limitations, and delimitations that will be discussed in the following chapters which focus on the literature review, methodology, results, and conclusions of the study.
According to a report by Frost and Sullivan in 2007, revenues for non-AFIS fingerprint devices in notebook PC's and wireless devices is anticipated to grow from $148.5 million to $1588.0 million by 2014, a compound annual growth rate of 40.3% [1]. The AFIS market has a compound annual growth rate of 15.2% with revenues of $445.0 million in 2007. With the development of mobile applications in a number of different market segments, such as healthcare, retail, and law enforcement, this paper analyzed the performance of fingerprints of different sizes, from different sensors...
