`
`TEACHING
`
`Areas of Special Interest and Accomplishments
`
`
`8.
`
`(a)
`
` I
`
` have taught courses or modules in human-computer interaction (HCI), empirical experimental
`methods, mechanical design, robot control, dynamic systems, mechatronics, and computer
`programming. In addition to formal courses, I am generally supervising 1-4 undergraduates in
`research projects at any given time (see 8(g)).
`
` I
`
` prefer to teach through projects. In HCI and haptics, these often involve a physical artifact as
`well as the software. A large part of my course development effort at UBC has been in creating
`studio and prototyping resources at the undergraduate and graduate level.
`
`UBC Infrastructure Development
`
`(2011/12) Developed an Arduino mechatronics / interface prototyping lab in conjunction
`with a redesign of CPSC 543. First ‘draft’ is a fully equipped work area including toolbench,
`tools and materials in the HCI Teaching Studio (ICICS x360). Budget of $1000 provided by
`UBC CS. Offered 2nd time in 2013/14.
`(2003, 2010-2012) Designed and built a set of low-cost haptic teaching displays, initially
`using a 2003 UBC FOS Skylight Development Grant ($2000), for use in my graduate
`haptics course (CPSC 543). Developed a new I/O technique for portability and cost
`savings. In 2009, updated to USB communication, with major iteration initiated in 2010
`(difficulties encountered). Earlier designs were shared online and used by other instructors
`internationally.

`
`(2003-2012) Created (with G. Sawatsky; 2005 opening) and currently co-direct the
`ICICS/AMPEL Graduate Student Prototyping Workshop where graduate students can
`learn implementation skills and access fabrication resources. Startup costs ($100K) were
`funded 50% by my CFI New Opportunities grant; I help coordinate user-shared
`maintenance funding ($50-75K annually). In 2012, I began a renewal effort which brought
`in the Mech Design Chair as well.
`(2004-07) With J. McGrenere, created the department’s HCI Teaching Studio (ICICS
`x360) in the new Computer Science building with a UBC TLEF grant ($41,217), now used
`by CPSC 344, 444, 543 and 544. Unique among CS undergraduate labs, it supports team-
`based learning, creation of physical and electronic design artifacts and both computer- and
`non-computer based design techniques.
`
`UBC Curriculum Development and Revision
`
`(2013-15) CPSC 344new: underway. In 2013/14, completely rebuilt our introductory
`undergrad/grad course with focus on pedagogical improvement, accessibility (prerequisites,
`and non-CS entry at request of department), content updating, sustainability of staff
`resources for delivery, and reducing course workload generally. Finally, it needed to scale
`up to handle 2x the students (~90 to 150-180) and continue to work for grad students (544).
`This ambitious agenda was piloted in 2013/14 T2, with CSWEI fellow support (Jessica
`Dawson).
`During 2014/15-W1, I substantively mentored Dawson as she did 2nd offering, continuing to
`be course keeper for this complex course, and also assisted in updating TA practices,
`course documentation and compliance with UBC Ethics requirements for instruction in
`human experimentation.
`(2010-13) CPSC 544new: In 2010, re-formulated our introductory graduate HCI course (544)
`to better meet department / university needs and resources. In Fall 2010, first offered the
`new 344/544 cross-listed course where 544 is augmented with a team-taught seminar and
`an extended project; thus freeing McGrenere to add a new HCI course (554) at cost of
`making 344/544 more complex to offer. In subsequent offerings (2011, 2012, 2013W1) this
`arrangement has been fairly efficient and very beneficial to the group, albeit adding to effort
`and complexity of teaching 344.
`(2000-2014) CPSC 543: Physical Interface Design and Evaluation: In 2000, developed
`one of the first haptics courses internationally, addressing topics critical to design of tactile
`and force feedback applications including human perception, interaction and haptic device
`design, robot control, and HCI experimentation. Attracts students from CS, Mech, EECE.
` In 2011/12 W2, piloted a major adaptation to an iterative haptic sketching / Arduino-based
`prototyping format with a new lab setup (this version is less likely to produce publishable
`results).
`(2004-present) HCI Curriculum Coordination: Led the CS HCI faculty (myself, J.
`McGrenere, K. Booth) in overhauling our courses around the new HCI Learning Studio.
`2004: proposed the 344/444 sequence. 2005: piloted 344. 2006: revised 344 while
`designing the Learning Studio; McGrenere used its structure for 1st 444. 2007: 344
`designated as satisfying the Graduate HCI Breadth Requirement. 2007-09: led planning of
`544new.

`
`• 2012-2014: major redesign of 344/544 to double its size and accessibility without
`increasing cost of delivery, eventually encompassing 444 (with McGrenere), inclusion in
`Arts major stream, CPSC mini specialization and other outreach implications.
`2015: Consulted on Dawson’s upcoming revision of CPSC 444, for which 344 is the
`primary prerequisite and serves as example for its new design.
`(2005-13) CPSC 344 “old”: Introduction to Human Computer Interaction: Developed
`for 2005, using an enhanced subset of “old” 444 materials with an innovative, more hands-
`on teaching methodology targeted at broader audience. Revised significantly for 2006. In
`2008, improvements in scheduling resulted in increased enrolment, requiring further re-
`jigging in 2008, 2009. For Fall 2010, noted by Dean for high teaching evaluations.
`Replaced in 2013/14 T2 with redesigned version.
`(2001-04) CPSC 444: Human Computer Interaction (“old” version): In 2001,
`substantially revised format and content of a twice-offered pilot. Modified and emphasized
`the course project structure.
`This course was replaced in 2006-07 by the new 344/444 combination.
`Projects have routinely been accepted as peer-reviewed conference publications (2000
`[C10]; 2002 [OS1,OS2]; 2004: 3/3 teams, including Best Paper at ACM ICMI [C22-24];
`2006 [C32]; 2008 [C38]); 2009 [C43, C45]; 2010 [C46, C47]; 2011 [C57]. Course
`undergoes modification for most offerings.
`(2006) CPSC 211: Introduction to Software Development: Taught in Spring 2006. Intent
`was to teach this or related courses regularly, but to date the department’s need for HCI
`instructors has prevented this

`1First offering of a new or substantially revised course. 544 was adapted from an early
`version (McGrenere) in 2010 to be co-listed with 344, but with a grad seminar attached and
`separate grad projects. 344 was substantially revised in 2nd offering.
`2Computer Science Undergraduate Directed Study: see Section 8(g) for student names and
`project titles.
`3Teaching award received: see Section 12(a) for details.

`
`(1999) MIE 440f Mechanical Design “User-Generated Parasitic Power”, University of
`Toronto, Mechanical Engineering, Fall 1999 (83 students), co-taught with Prof. L. Shu.
`Responsible for course project. Student teams designed and prototyped original devices
`

`
`

`
`based on my original concept of user-generated “parasitic power”, meeting requirements to
`(a) harvest “waste” mechanical power from human body with non-noticeable additional
`perceived donor effort, and (b) convert this to electrically charge two AA batteries within a
`specified time limit. My participation was invited after Prof. Shu heard my seminar on this
`topic in 1998. This concept has subsequently been pursued by others, first at MIT and now
`widely with spread of mobile devices.
