EMI’s industry-leading R&D efforts aim to provide substantial efficiency improvements. EMI’s focus is the machining of difficult-to-machine materials, such as titanium, nickel alloys, stainless steels, compacted-graphite iron (CGI), hardened steel, and abrasive composites, and applications like energy efficient chipping/chopping of cellulosic biomass. In 2013 a manufacturing company was formed for production of their first product line leaving EMI to focus on

As shown in Appendix B, pre- and post-test questions included different areas ofinformation fluency. At midterm, after the information fluency had been introduced to thestudents and they had participated in both an in-library workshop and an online intellectualproperty module, the students were given the post-test which was identical to the pre-test. Paststudent participation in the post-test was minimal. This fall, 90% of the students participated inthe post test since it was a required part of the midterm.
