On August 30, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering (MABE) received a $50,000 donation from the Denso North American Foundation to support its Rolling Hybrid Vehicle Laboratory.
This past summer forty Tickle College of Engineering students took University of Tennessee engineering courses as part of four faculty-led programs. The faculty–led programs are designed to combine technical courses with international experiences in a way that provides course credit while minimizing schedule concerns for engineering students.
It sounds lame but I feel I got to see a more personal side of London by frequenting these places. The variety and quality of the food at some of these markets is hard to beat, especially for the prices. Borrough Market (shown at right), just south of the Thames, blew me away the first…
