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.
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.
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…
The power system has undergone significant changes and improvements. One of the most important ongoing revolutions is the emergence of wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors.
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.
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.
Congratulations! Wishing you all the best of luck on your future plans!
