computing. She is currently involved with an NSF-funded S-STEM project that awards scholarships to students studying computing at USF. The project implements a suite of community- building activities designed to improve scholars’ self-efficacy and develop computing identity. Sami also co-directed a project that developed system support and user-driven strategies for improving energy effi- ciency in residential buildings. Sami has served in a number of service roles at USF and in her professional community. She was chair of the Computer Science department at USF from 2013-2016. She also served on the editorial board of Sigmobile’s GetMobile Magazine from 2014-2018. She has been involved with the discipline-specific

be close to initial expectations and the game was able to be played at a distancesuitable for a fun experience. This project was a success and student commented “I made anembedded systems laser tag system for my senior design project. I was able to apply what Ilearned in my engineering courses to achieve my design goals. I was able to combine suchsubjects as digital design, embedded systems, electronic systems, digital signals processing, andphysics. I also honed practical skills like soldering, putting together breadboards andprogramming in C. My professor helped me maintain a disciplined schedule to make sure Istarted early on prototypes so my final design would meet my goals”.This project was funded by NSF S-STEM Scholarship program at
