In this weekly spring seminar series, students will present and discuss topics relating to the subject of human interaction with automation and technology, contributing to development of both the student's scientific research process as well as knowledge in the field. Each week, at least 2 insightful (and possibly conflicting) papers on current research will be presented by a student as representative of that week's chosen topic, concluding with a group discussion on the topic.
