2015/16 Wenzhou-Kean University
Student partnering with Faculty (SpF) Research Programs Summary
Eighteen faculty and fifty some students participated in 2015/16 Student partnering with Faculty (SpF) Research Programs last November. In total, Office of Research and Sponsored Programs received twenty-three proposed projects, including biology, computer science, accounting, management, marketing, business law, economics, English, and philosophy. Twelve projects were accepted after two rounds of reviewing and evaluating. Two external reviewers from Kean University and Wenzhou University were nominated by the Research Committee and invited by the ORSP to evaluate each proposal. The maximum score of this evaluation is 80 points. All proposals scoring 50 points or above were further evaluated by the designated Research Review Committee on the SpF program.
Those twelve projects were supported with more than 120,000 yuan from November 2015 to August 2016. Funds were utilized to procure equipment, software, supplies, and books, as well as pay for student stipends and business travel to attend academic conferences.
Thanks to applicants’ great efforts, in January 2016 ORSP received 11 mid-term reports. That is, one of the authorized projects was rejected to be continued because of no mid-term report and unsatisfactory performance during the study. In early September ORSP received 11 final reports. Four papers were published after presenting in different academic conferences, VPER – A Visual HelPER Device for the Visually Impaired Users, An All-In-One Model: Computer Simulations of Population Genetics and Evolution under Hardy-Weinburg Conditions, Gamifying Impromptu Speech for ESL/EFL Students awarded Top Paper by International Communication Association Instructional/Developmental Communication Division, and I will Help You Pass the Puzzle Piece to Your Partner if This is What You Want Me to: The Design of Collaborative Puzzle Games to Train Chinese Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Joint Attention Skills. Finally, the first SpF drew a satisfactory conclusion.
