Amber Kemppainen, a senior lecturer in engineering fundamentals, has been chosen as one of 70 young engineering educators across the nation to participate in the National Academy of Engineering’s Frontiers of Engineering Education Symposium in Irvine, Cal., Oct. 25-28.
At the symposium, faculty members who are developing and implementing innovative educational approaches in a variety of engineering disciplines, will come together to share ideas and learn from research and best practices.
Attendees were nominated by NAE members or deans and chosen from a highly competitive pool of applicants.
Kempainnen has been instrumental in developing Tech’s IDEAS project, including three curriculum modules—biomechanics, wind energy and aquaculture—for first-year engineering students and a First-Year Engineering Learning Center.

Kempainnen is also a PhD student in Applied Cognitive Science and Human Factors, Cognitive and Learning Sciences. Her advisor is Susan Amato-Henderson.
Adam Feltz (CLS) and Brittany Nelson, an undergraduate student in psychology, co-authored the paper, “Experimental Philosophy Needs to Matter: Reply to Andow and Cova,” to appear in the journal Philosophical Psychology.
Myounghoon “Philart” Jeon (CLS/CS) co-organized two workshops; Workshop on Practical Experiences in Measuring and Modeling Drivers and Driver-Vehicle Interactions and The Third Workshop on User Experience of Autonomous Driving, with international collaborators at the Seventh International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications (AutomotiveUI15), in Nottingham, UK, which began Monday and concludes today. The workshops were partly supported by The Michigan Tech Transportation Institute.

Myounghoon “Philart” Jeon (CLS/CS) and colleagues presented four research projects at the International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD) in Graz, Austria: “Regulating drivers’ aggressiveness by sonifying emotional data,” “Subjective assessment of in-vehicle auditory warnings for rail grade crossings,” “Exploration of semiotics of new auditory displays: A comparative analysis with visual displays,” and “Cultural differences in preference of auditory emoticons: USA and South Korea.” Jeon also successfully hosted the workshop on “In-vehicle Auditory Interactions” at ICAD. This workshop was partly supported by MTTI.
Steven Landry’s (CLS, Advisor: Myounghoon Philart Jeon) research proposal, “Affective Interactive Dancer Sonification” has been selected for the Doctoral Colloquium, “Think Tank“, at the 21st International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD). Landry will receive a travel and registration grant from the National Science Foundation.
ICAD 2015 – ICAD in Space: Interactive Spatial Sonification was held July 8-10.
Researchers involved with Michigan Tech’s Mind MusicMachine Lab were interviewed by reporter Allison Mills for a podcast in Distillations Magazine. The magazine is an online publication of the Chemical Heritage Foundation, which is a library, museum, and center for scholars.
The interview occupies about the first 12 minutes of Episode 198: Old Brains, New Brains: The Human Mind, Past and Present.
The interviewees for that segment include:
- Myounghoon “Philart” Jeon, Assistant Professor, Cognitive and Learning Sciences, Computer Science, Michigan Tech
- Steven Landry, Graduate Student, Applied Cognitive and Human Factors Cognitive and Learning Sciences, Michigan Tech
- Bruce Walker, Professor, Psychology, Interactive Computing, Georgia Tech
Assistant Professor Myounghoon “Philart” Jeon (CLS/CS) presented a research paper, “Embarrassment as a divergent thinking process for creative arts in the immersive virtual environment,” at the Workshop on Embarrassing Interactions of ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI’15) in Seoul, Korea.
