Soft robotic devices show particular promise for medical applications where the ability to perform snake-like manipulations with soft devices could radically improve the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic and intravenous procedures. Where traditional catheter devices for these procedures can only be steered at the tip, there exists a need for more maneuverable devices with a high number of degrees of freedom (DOF) that can be controlled throughout the entire length.

Greg Hyslop, Chief Engineer & Executive Vice President of Engineering, Test & Technology, The Boeing Company, will speak on the topic, “Building the Future of Aerospace Together”.
From servicing the next International Space Station to its goal of Zero Carbon Emissions from Commercial Aviation to Flying Taxi Drones, come hear about the opportunities and challenges facing the future of the aerospace industry from the man who leads The Boeing Company’s 50,000+ engineers worldwide and oversees its technology vision, strategy and investment.

I will share my typical workday as a Field AE from improving the product, to solving technical problems at large companies. Since I work with multiple engineering teams, I will share how these groups work together, and insights into the current state of the industry. I will also introduce the different roles within Siemens EDA and highlight some opportunities for college graduates.

Ab initio molecular dynamics simulation technique is a promising tool to study various properties of vibrational spectra, X-ray spectra, free energy, entropy, etc. even at high temperatures. With the harmonic phonon model, all interatomic forces are treated as purely harmonic so that the equilibrium distance between atoms is independent of temperature.

The power distribution system is undergoing a significant transformation to embrace the dispersed and diversified distributed energy resources (DERs) to meet the clean energy goals. The distribution system is experiencing unprecedented scenarios to supply reliable and affordable electrical power supply to all the customers with and without DERs. The power industry is actively looking at Tools and Technologies that are readily adoptable and deployable to mitigate the issues from unforeseen operating conditions.

Birds have deployable covert feathers that are hypothesized to aid in aerodynamic flow control. Inspired by this biological control solution, we use high-fidelity simulations to explore a simplified configuration in which a flat plate is mounted via a torsional spring on an airfoil. We first characterize what dynamical regimes this system can undergo for various spring and inertia values, explaining some of the underlying fluid-structure interaction mechanism and their implications on performance changes.

On-Campus employer resume review and mock interviews with HR Manager, Ryan Gilmore, J2 Building Consultants.

Nanostructures (particularly with sizes below 10 nm) are inherently challenging to characterize on the atomic scale, due to broadening which occurs in diffraction-based characterization methods, and the high concentration of surface defects and energy-minimization effects. Characterization challenges compound when investigating nanoscale actinide oxides, such as uranium oxide, due to radioactive sample constraints and rich electronic structure which can potentially stabilize a wide range of crystallographic arrangements.

What does production-quality time-series (including synchrophasors) software for power system operations and data analytics do and look like?

Holland & Hart seeks exceptional engineering, science, and computer science majors for their rapidly growing patent practice. Explore an exciting alternative career where you can use your technical expertise to work on patents for sophisticated tech companies at the forefront of innovation and cutting-edge development.

Renewable bio-derived fuels can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particulate matter, unburned hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide when used in compression ignition engines. However, their effective utilization depends on thoroughly understanding their combustion properties. We will examine results on the low-temperature oxidation of canola and coconut-derived biodiesel in a motored engine.

To further improve the DS’s reliable and resilient operation, in this Ph.D. work, the aim has been put towards development of an automated tool consisting of multiple modules to precisely investigate any type of data anomalies, followed by root cause finding.

Trucking is the lifeblood of the economy, transporting 70% of the goods across the country to your front door. It is also an industry experiencing dramatic technological change, on a scale not seen since the invention of the automobile itself.

Give your résumé extra pizzazz before handing it to a recruiter at the career fair.

Given the ten-fold difference in resting heart rates and twitch kinetics between small and large mammals, it is likely that the cooperative phenotype is a species-dependent property of mammalian myocardium instances. Such a mechanism suggests a molecular basis for beat-to-beat synchronization of ventricular contractility and circulatory demand.

Avista recognizes to address the challenges of clean energy transition will require a balance between energy supply and delivery. At Avista, we are working on operational strategies to dispatch flexible load and distributed energy resources to address delivery constraints.

Zero Energy (or Zero Carbon) buildings are one component of the future of a survivable planet. The idea of low energy/high performing buildings served by on site and grid-based renewable energy systems is compelling and achievable, and is the direction for climate policy and energy code development. Achieving Net Zero Energy requires big picture thinking and attention to detail.

What better way to prep for your career and the career fair than by learning from a professional. Join the CEO of IntelliTect, Mark Michaelis, as he gives you tips and tricks for networking with employers at the career fair, interviewing, and honing in on your career.

This fun one-hour workshop is designed to help students connect their college experience to a career path. The workshop digs into four areas — connecting majors to careers, creating a compelling resume, learning to network, and telling engaging stories in interviews. Includes actions for each year of college from freshman through senior with plenty of time for questions.

New cyber technologies are providing profound opportunities for network-wide autonomy in critical infrastructures, but also introducing new complexities in infrastructure operations. At its essence, achieving network-wide autonomy requires coordinating sensing and control resources across a dynamical network to achieve resilient operations in the face of disruptions.

Greenhouse gases emitted by the manufacturing of building materials makes up 11% of global emissions. While the building industry has made significant progress toward eliminating carbon from building operations, material emissions have been flying under the climate radar. The urgency of reducing global carbon emissions in the next decade puts building materials on center stage – these emissions have an impact on our environment before materials even arrive to the jobsite.

This dissertation considers various machine-learning-based signal processing architectures for equalization and detection of two- and three-dimensional magnetic recording signals for hard disk drives (HDDs). Recording in multiple dimensions on magnetic hard drives has been a challenge in the HDD industry. The objective of reading approaches for magnetic recording is to detect the highest density of information possible with an acceptable error rate.

A team from Blue Origin will be on campus to meet with students and answer questions about working for Blue Origin.
