School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering Seminar, “Design and Modeling of a PneuSMA Soft Robotic Catheter Using Resistance-Based Modeling of Nitinol Springs” Presented by Dr. Emily Allen
Workshop / Seminar
WSU Pullman - Engineering Teaching Research Laboratory (ETRL)

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.

What Can You Personally Do To Be an Inclusive Leader?
Online - Online

Few would disagree that inclusion is the right thing to do and good for business. So why are we so terrible at it? If we believe in the “why” of being diverse, inclusive, and equitable leaders, then why are we still struggling to put it into action? Because true change requires inclusion on purpose, which takes more than just knowing inclusion is right, it commands personal intention and awareness when creating inclusive workplaces. In this research-backed webinar, inclusion strategist and author Ruchika Tulshyan will set the stage for why we must take an intersectional, purposeful approach to create an inclusive workplace.

School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering Seminar Series, “Autoignition and Speciation Studies on Alternative Fuels” by Dr. Kamal Kumar
Workshop / Seminar
WSU Pullman - Engineering Teaching Research Laboratory (ETRL)

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.
