IIC Academic Conference - Atlanta, GA Video

Video for Intellectbase International Academic Conference

Intellectbase International Consortium (IIC) Atlanta, GA Oct 2010

This event was a well received one in which 10 peer reviewed proceedings were published.  It took a lot of time, money, and energy to ensure we were able to do the impossible this event.   Unfortunately I will be unable to attend the Las Vegas IIC conference however I will send a publication to this event.  I would highly recommend any researcher participate in this conference as they hold many of these a year inside the United States (U.S.), and outside of the U.S. in areas such as Malaysia, China, South Africa, and more.

2010 National Urban League (NUL) Centennial Conference 100@100

Over the summer this year I had the pleasure of participating in the 2010 National Urban League (NUL) Centennial Conference in Washington D.C.  This event came to be due to one student asking to speak to a person who had a doctoral degree.  Before they had never had the pleasure of asking someone what does it take to pursue that path.  Thus through a friend I volunteered to participate at this event. If the event is close by I shall definitely speak at this event once again. Below is a copy of the thank you email for volunteering at this event.

Subject: 100 @ 100 - Thank You!

Dear Volunteer Professional,

Thank you so much for your interest and participation in our “A Legacy of Success: The 100 @ 100

Luncheon.” Many of our youth and adult chaperons have expressed their delight with the meaningful and

impactful conversations that took place at their tables. While I am expressing my own gratitude as well as that of the National Urban League for taking the time out of your busy schedules for a wonderful cause, I am also echoing a heartfelt, sincere, and passionate sentiment of appreciation on behalf of our participants; they truly felt touched that so many accomplished professionals wanted to meet them, speak to them, and listen to them.

I would like to remind you that your impact was far reaching in more ways than one. We had youth

representation from every corner of the country, including Florida, Texas, Minnesota, California and even Alaska at our conference. Wherever they were from, we expect that this event will stay with them and impact them well beyond their time in Washington, D.C. Based on the overall success of this event, it is likely we will plan a similar event for our 2011 conference in Boston, MA.

Again, I would like to thank each and every one of you who attended and acknowledge those who

expressed their interest in helping our youth. For anyone interested, we would like to send a small memento of

appreciation and acknowledgement to those who attended as well as to those who RSVP’d and could not make it due to outstanding circumstances. If you are interested, please provide me with your mailing address and I will put together a package for you. Also, feel free in your email to provide any comments about your experience or suggestions that might improve the event in the future.

On behalf of the National Urban League and our NULITES youth from around the country, we applaud

your achievements, thank you for your participation, and wish you the best in your personal and professional

endeavors.

Sincerely,

Jason T. Hendrickson

This reaction paper will exhibit when organizational theories and behavioral theories are not aligned properly, an organization will become unmotivated, chaotic, and misguided.  Through selections of various authors, these theories will be explained more in depth and how they relate to each other.  

Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

Secure Software Development Life Cycle

Master of Business Administration (MBA) Progress

This has been a very rough year.  I honestly do not think I have pushed myself more in my life than this year.  This year I have received multiple peer reviewed publications, peer reviewed proceedings, presentations, and etc.  This year I relocated from Huntsville, AL to Baltimore, MD which has been a major complication in itself as now I must manage two properties.

As far as my MBA studies I currently have a 3.93 Grade Point Average (GPA).  I am currently taking Applied Managerial Economics with Strategic Management in Dynamic Environments left.  The program has taught me a lot and has been very stressful as there are approximately nine assignments for a course which is only 5 1/2 weeks long.  I believe this MBA shall be essential in my future endeavors if they are to remain in industry or go toward academia.  The MBA will allow me to seek other positions of higher levels of management or even leap into other positions far from the engineering tasks I am currently performing.  In academia this would help solidify a position in a School of Business (SOB) or assist in becoming a Program Chair or Dean.

BEST JOBS IN AMERICA: 1. Systems Engineer

I came across a listing of the top jobs and found out that the Systems Engineer was the best job in America for 2009.  It is rather pleasing as I am currently teaching graduate courses at Morgan State University in Systems Engineering.  Enjoy the read below.

Top 50 rank: 1
Sector: Information Technology

What they do: They're the "big think" managers on large, complex projects, from major transportation networks to military defense programs. They figure out the technical specifications required and coordinate the efforts of lower-level engineers working on specific aspects of the project.

\Why it's great: Demand is soaring for systems engineers, as what was once a niche job in the aerospace and defense industries becomes commonplace among a diverse and expanding universe of employers, from medical device makers to corporations like Xerox and BMW.
Pay can easily hit six figures for top performers, and there's ample opportunity for advancement. But many systems engineers say they most enjoy the creative aspects of the job and seeing projects come to life. "The transit system I work on really makes a tangible difference to people," says Anne O'Neil, chief systems engineer for the New York City Transit Authority.
Drawbacks: Long hours are common; project deadlines can be fierce.
Pre-reqs: An undergrad engineering degree; some jobs might also require certification as a certified systems engineering professional (CSEP).

Panama City Beach, FL Labor Day Vacation Weekend

 After a long year of continuous education, training, and etc. I vacation was greatly needed.  Thus I decided to head to Panama City Beach, FL to enjoy the fruits of hard labor.  This vacation provided the necessary jump start for next month's work in Atlanta, GA which approximately nine peer reviewed proceedings shall be published.  I did try not to work however I worked on MBA coursework and a journal publication which required some editing.  

IEGR501: Introduction to Advanced Systems Engineering Second Life Session

These are photos from class on 31 August, 2010.  This was our first session in Second Life in which we discussed development methodologies, systems plannning, proposal process, and more.  Also viewed was a motivational video on the topic of success.  This session was held in Second Life as I was in Huntsville, AL for business.  Second Life allowed the students who were physically in the class at Morgan State University and myself to participate as if I were physically there.

Transitional leadership in the Defense & Aerospace industry for IT program management: A critical analysis for recruiting and developing IT administrator
by Emad Emad, Maurice Maurice 
Abstract: This article proposes a framework to create effective transitional leadership in the defense and aerospace industry. The proposed framework identifies and maps traits and skills of military personnel in a manner that can be tested and validated in accordance with principles of human resource management. Applying this framework would assist hiring managers in their selection of program or project managers from the military in transition to a defense contractor support organization. Employing a research approach embracing a mix of both quantitative and quantitative strategies, the study examined more than 50 respondents to a 34-question survey, focusing on 14 respondents who submitted fully completed surveys. The conceptual framework for this study is derived from investigations conducted by project management practitioners and scholars who have built upon the research of previous research, which studied project development models within various industries.

About the Lecture

One of the nation’s revered technology leaders dispenses anecdotes and wisdom on the slippery subject of engineering systems (or systems engineering). Norm Augustine just can’t get a handle on the discipline: “No one agrees on what it is, or what it does.” After years in industries like Lockheed Martin, Augustine has come up with “Norm’s Rules,” and can at least define ‘system’ as “having two or more elements that interact,” and ‘engineering’ as “creating the means for performing useful functions.” But these definitions don’t get you too far in the real world.

Augustine shows a fuel control system, which some engineers might view as part of a propulsion system. In turn, aeronautical engineers might think of the entire airplane as a system, and transport engineers view aircraft as merely components in systems incorporating airports, highways, shipping lanes. Augustine continues up the ladder until “our system that started as a fuel controller…seems to have the whole universe as a system.” Like Russian Matryoshka dolls, systems can always be embedded within larger systems. Even if you try to simplify a system in terms of just a few objects with a binary, on-off interaction, things can get complex very quickly. Five elements in a system can exist in more than a million possible states. Says Augustine, “A typical earth satellite has nearly one million parts; a 747 over 5 million. How does that make you feel about flying?”

Distinguishing the significant interactions and the important external influences on a system are central to designing and problem solving. And these days, engineers must include politics, public policy and economics as part of their systems. “The trick is to bound the scope of the system so it’s not too large to be analyzed and not too small to be representative.” Doing this right is “why systems engineers should be paid so much.”

Augustine concludes with his “Dirty Dozen” systems engineering traps, which have led to embarrassing bust-ups, monumental failures, and real tragedies. Notable among these: “the ubiquitous interface,” (or absence thereof). He describes how two flight control groups used different metric units and accidentally sent a Mars-bound spacecraft whizzing off into deep space. There’s the “single-point failure,” exemplified by the collapse of a football field-sized satellite dish due to a poorly designed bracket. There’s software, “which like entropy, always increases:” a Mariner spacecraft headed in the wrong direction due to a missing hyphen in 100 thousand lines of code. The problem with most systems ultimately is that they “contain human elements … and humans sometimes do irrational things.”

IEGR501 Intro To Adv Systems Engineering Class Begins Tomorrow at Morgan State University

IEGR501 Intro To Adv Systems Engineering class begins tomorrow at Morgan State University.  This is going to be an exciting class focused only systems engineering.  All coursework and syllabus is finally created.  I am excited about this opportunity teach at such an institution on the graduate level.  I have created an integrated course which has a group project in it as well to include a good amount of literature to review.

Academic Achievements Video

I believe I may be addicted to Animoto as it creates wonderful videos.  Please see video below which is newly created.

DIY UAV Video

Great video on creating your own Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV).  They have created a UAV for uncle $1,000.  This is of interest to me as I work for a defense contractor that builds UAVs.  Now when thinking about the millions in this industry imagine being able to create your own UAV using cheap products.  On the other side imagine if this technology was utilized by criminals to do reconnaissance on potential areas that could be hot spots for police.  This technology would allow the criminals to have more power over the police.  Now when thinking about the negatives imagine if the police themselves had this technology as well.  rather than rushing into danger one could view everything from the sky away from harm.

Homemade UAV for Personal Use

Please view this interesting vehicle for having your own personal Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).  this is a great short video to show what technology is available now.

Strayer University Trip to NAVSEA Undersea Warfare Center

Tonight we had two CIS170: Information Systems for Criminal Justice classes in Second Life participating together in a joint learning session.  This event had a small number of individuals present however those who attended were able to understand why this virtual platform was chosen for the method to have class.

The Navy Undersea Warfare Center is not only a place for public information about the US Navy's advanced technical capabilities, but also a sandbox for innovative ideas and concepts about the potential of undersea warfare.  Location is secondlife://USS%20Nautilus/123/80/26

IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT BEST PRACTICES IN A EXPANDING MARKET

Author(s): Emad Rahim and Maurice Dawson

This article examines emerging trends in the profession of IT Project Management in a global economy. Within the last decade project management theories and concept have become accepted standards in many organizational industries. The increasingly important role of information technology is undoubtedly the effect of rapid globalization that requires companies to have a larger capacity, timelier and more accurate information management within their decision making system. The IT project management "body of knowledge" has advanced greatly through the collaborative work of project management practitioners, trade associations, training institutions and universities. The expansion and innovation to this "body of knowledge" seems to be contributed by the growing practice of open sourcing by practitioners and educators alike through social network sites, blogs and other media sharing outlets. The future of IT project management may become more of an external operation with more organizations outsourcing their IT program and portfolio departments. This article should provide the framework necessary to further understand the relevance of IT Project Management in the global market and where it is headed.
