Evolab is an evolutionary psychology experimenting research lab that is interested the subjective perceptions in people. For example, it explores the effects of technology; how does darkness influence people’s perception of objects; how does physical risk-taking influence people’s perception of time, etc.
The website will be built with multiple pages to display information about research labs and design it to be professional-looking and viewer-friendly. Information displayed on the website should include, but not limited to the description of on-going projects, introduction of group members, and presentation of past findings. The final website will be hosted under the official UCM domain, so it will need to suffice requirements of the web development requested by UCM. The final design of the website needs to be approved by the specific professor, so you will need to attend bi-weekly meetings with the professor to understand what exactly does he desire.
- Storing user data (i.e. Log-in or dashboard)
- Maintain it after the project has been completed. (Of course, you are welcome to maintain the website, but it is not required.)
- Be a part of the regular lab business, or fully understand everything the lab is doing.
- A good hands-on web development project on your resume
- Great networking opportunity with professors in cognitive science field
- A letter of recommendation (by request)
