The famous American scientist Richard Feynman prophesied the huge potential for engineering at small scales (There’s plenty of room at the bottom!). In this spirit, Dr. Pal is interested in the unique nano-mechanical behavior of materials at small scales, and how they can be harnessed to produce

The first component is the incorporation of Machine Learningmodules into the first two years of the curriculum with the goal of sparking student interest in thefield. The second is the development of new upper level Machine Learning courses for advancedundergraduate students. The paper will focus on the details of the integration of a machinelearning module (related to neural networks) applied to a Numerical Analysis class, taught tosophomores and juniors in the Engineering Departments at the University of Central Florida.Furthermore, it will report results

We recently merged a few capstone design teams with the Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE) student competitions. The outcome and benefit of the change are clear. The students are more motivatedand willing to adopt new technologies in their project courses. Through competitions, students learned how tocomplete the project in the context of system.
