NSF Funds Engineering Look at Storm Water Adaptation, STEM Education
The growing reputation of the College of Engineering as a center for environmental research got a big boost recently thanks to the National Science Foundation.
The NSF’s Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation announced backing for a UT-led project to identify techniques for more sustainably managing storm water runoff in urban areas.
Headed by an interdisciplinary team from the College of Engineering, the project includes Civil and Environmental Engineering Assistant Professor Jon Hathaway as well as Assistant Professor Anahita Khojandi, joint ORNL-UT Associate Professor Olufemi Omitaomu, and associate professor Xueping Li, all of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering.
