A select group of upperclassmen and graduate students met with alumni working in the Silicon Valley.
Engineering Vols Share a Silicon Valley Experience
Making Space for Makers
The origins of the Innovation and Collaboration Studios trace themselves back to the creation of the Engineering Fundamentals Program.
Engineering Double Agents
Alumni and students often have passions that parallel their engineering disciplines and follow those passions to great heights.
Ions: The Good and The Bad
UT-ORNL Governor’s Chair William Weber’s work in the Ion Beam Materials Laboratory studies the way ion beams behave as part of a career spanning four decades.
Built to Last
Students from the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering worked with Clayton Homes on a plan to increase manufacturing using LEAN manufacturing.
Built for the Future
“This building is the latest sign of both our growth and our university’s commitment to providing the best experience possible for our students,” said Dean Wayne Davis. “We will be able to enhance the educational journey of our honors students and our freshmen, and we will finally be able to have our nuclear engineering department be in a building worthy of their nationally recognized status.”
The Problem Solver
“Most algorithms stop once they make the prediction,” she said. “But we take it a step further than anyone else by looking at the practical implications of what it means to monitor a patient.”
Delivering Results
“Undergraduate biomedical students will go four or five years without ever seeing a real body,” she shared. “I saw this synthetic cadaver and thought, ‘we need one of these.’”
Before, During, and After the Bomb
“Our research is everything from the front and back end of nuclear forensics,” he explained, likening his research work to the popular television show CSI, short for crime scene investigation.
Made in America
Students worked with Krawlers Edge to develop a supply chain system using a lean manufacturing approach.
