Engineering

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?

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.

The power system has undergone significant changes and improvements. One of the most important ongoing revolutions is the emergence of wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors.

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.
