Save the date and brush up on your best random knowledge! Your Students Connections Committee is planning another fun event after thanksgiving break. There will be gifts, food, and good cheer. Woohoo!
Each new generation of robotic fabrication tools has transformed manufacturing, enabling greater complexity and customization of the world around us. With the recent developments in additive manufacturing and mobile robots, several pressing questions have emerged. How can we use computational methods to expand the set of achievable material properties? How can we use mobile robots to do manufacturing? Finally, how can we use the answers from these questions to make robots more capable?
As a member of the selling team, contracts individuals are responsible for negotiating terms and conditions that facilitate the sale of commercial aircraft. In this role, you must find a way to support Sales and satisfy customers, while staying sharply focused on minimizing risk to the company.
The Fine Arts Department presents an artist lecture and exhibition of work by Donté K. Hayes, supported by the Forst Endowed Visiting Artist Program.
Hayes’s art practice pulls from an interest in hip-hop culture, history, and science fiction. For Hayes, ceramics becomes a bridge to conceptually integrate disparate objects and…

Data communication plays a significant role in overall performance for hardware accelerators of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). For example, crossbar-based in-memory computing significantly increases on-chip communication volume since the weights and activations are on-chip. State-of-the-art interconnect methodologies for in-memory computing deploy a bus-based network or mesh-based NoC.
Quadrupole mass filters and guides are integral components in many mass spectrometers. These mass filters are typically operated with sinusoidal waveforms applied to the electrodes with opposing electrodes electrically connected and each pair receiving rf potentials that are 180° out of phase from each other.
The lithium-sulfur battery is considered a promising substitute for the current Lithium-ion battery due to its high theoretical energy density and relatively low cost. However, the discharge progress of lithium-sulfur batteries is still not fully understood because of the complexity of intermediate polysulfides products.
Music lovers across the Palouse can usher in the holiday season with WSU School of Music’s inaugural Holiday Celebration: Let It Glow on December 4, 2021, at 2:00 pm in in a fully decorated and glowing Bryan Hall Theatre on the WSU-Pullman Campus. This event is free and…
America’s aging infrastructure calls for holistic approaches to infrastructure management, and this symposium will feature speakers and student posters that addresses these issues. The TriDurLE 2021 symposium on “Transportation Infrastructure Innovations for Durability and Resilience” is the first symposium of this national UTC center. PDH hours are available.
Symposium topics…

RNA undergoes extensive modification through enzymatic post-transcriptional editing events. Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing is one of the most widespread and impactful of these modifications and is catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs).
The power system has undergone significant changes and improvements. One of the most important ongoing revolutions is the emergence of wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors.
Webinar with Dr. Annie Chen-Allen
Opening Reception Thursday, December 9, 4:00PM. Exhibition on display December 9 – January 14.
Though the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare warrants genuine enthusiasm, meaningful impact will require careful integration into clinical care. AI tools are susceptible to mistakes and rarely capable of capturing all of the nuances pertaining to a complex clinical situation. Thus, we propose approaches designed to augment, rather than replace, clinicians during clinical decision making. In this talk, Associate Professor Jenna Wiens will highlight three related research directions pertaining to: i) a transfer learning approach for mitigating potentially harmful shortcuts when making diagnoses, ii) a simple yet accurate deterioration index that generalizes across hospitals and iii) lessons learned during deployment of a risk stratification tool for predicting healthcare-associated infections. In summary, there’s a critical need for machine learning in healthcare; however, the safe and meaningful adoption of these techniques will require collaboration between clinicians and AI.
Fourth year students from Landscape Architecture, Architecture, and Interior Design will present how their work meets the overall goal of connecting the WSU Campus to the Pullman downtown.
A guided tour of December night skies and “The Phantom of the Universe,” a fulldome movie about dark matter.
As you work on your final year of engineering courses, chances are you’re probably also trying to figure out how to get your engineering career started after graduation. In my talk I’ll share some things I learned as an engineer and a hiring engineering manager from applications and resumes to preparing for your interview.
Fuel crops such as Sorghum bicolor and Panicum virgatum have been identified by The United States as Strategic Plants for rational bioengineering of the next generation of fuel crops. Under the Energy Independence Security Act of 2007, the U.S. established a national goal of replacing 30% of petroleum-based fuels with lignocellulosic fuels by the year 2030.
Congratulations! Wishing you all the best of luck on your future plans!
