. Dr. Assanah’s research focuses on the synthesis of hydrogels to mimic the mechanical behavior of the brain matter and investigate the cellular response to injury. My past research focused on biomaterials and tissue engineering with a particular emphasis in bone tissue regeneration. This involved combining hydrogel-based cell therapy and acoustic radiation forces via Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS), for healing large scale bone defects. Previous research also involved hydro- gels as three-dimensional cultures to study the effects of mechanical forces on axons for repairing spinal cord injury.Kristina Wagstrom Dr. Kristina Wagstrom is the Northeast Utilities Assistant Professor for Environmental Engineering

The latter isalso true of Engineering Physics programs, but these are not included here since the “Physics”designation is often significant; i.e., it represents a real program emphasis in the discipline ofphysics. The Engineering, General Engineering, Engineering Science and Engineering Sciencesprograms are hereinafter collectively referred to as “general Engineering” programs, while thelowercase use of “engineering” will refer to any or all types of engineering programs.We can hypothesize that general Engineering programs exist primarily for one of two reasons.First, when an institution begins its initial program in engineering, the program may be small andmore general than it is specialized

as Hurricane Katrina’s effect on natural gas prices in 2005 and 2006. For utilities,using energy efficiency instead of traditional energy supply means energy needs can be met bymaking small, incremental investments in energy efficiency rather than large, risky investmentsin energy supply. Current pending carbon legislation would further increase the need for non-emitting energy resources that would be increasingly expensive for utilities to own and operate.Meeting state and national energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions goals will alsobecome increasingly important (Sandy Glatt, 2009).Studying the feasibility of adopting renewable energy sources in manufacturing systems alongwith case studies on recent technology developments in

The bridge benefit is determined using an “S” shaped function ofbridge strength (Figure 1). Bridge costs are calculated by summing a fixed cost, a material costfor the wood

Program Origin The engineering manpower needs of Kentucky had largely been provided for many yearsby the University of Kentucky College of Engineering (Lexington). As the state’s land-grantinstitution, it produced its first engineering graduates in the 1880’s. The University of Louisvilleestablished its engineering school in 1924, and became part of the state university system in 1970.These two schools offered the only accredited engineering programs in Kentucky in the early1990’s. Both of these institutions are over 200 miles east of the heavily industrialized JacksonPurchase region of Western Kentucky. Many of the industrial plant managers in this area

However, low-incomestudents are less likely to enter STEM programs in community colleges or to transfer to STEMfields than higher-income students [15]. A frustratingly large fraction of community collegestudents who complete STEM courses leave college without any postsecondary credential [2]and Black, Latinx, and Native American students are underrepresented in all transfer-levelSTEM courses in community colleges [2].

In the design of this new program, we studied and assessed variousvendor-sponsored certification programs and professional registration examinations. Inthis study, we identified skill-sets necessary for several generally recognized job roles incomputer networking, programming and telecommunications. We further classified andextracted exam questions into sets of high-level principles and analytical concepts basedon these different job roles. In this paper, course objectives developed

At our institution, and perhaps in general, there is an anecdotal hypothesisthat the mathematical skills, or more generally, the academic strengths of first-year engineeringstudents have been significantly declining in the last two decades. To address this hypothesis, alongitudinal study of pre-engineering indicators for first year engineering students in a Canadianuniversity transfer program was initiated almost a decade ago through the use of two assessmentexams and by collection and consolidation of high school achievement data. It is not unusual touse these academic indicators as a measure of skill level. To this end, two assessment tools(Math Advisory and Engineering Assessment) were used to generate data with which to test
