We are in a constant state of
experimentation, learning new dimensions of the world around us.
One of our on-going areas of research is how to create the best
learning environment for materials engineers. We've implemented new
ways of teaching and we are trying to determine if these new methods:
1. Result in greater retention of women and underrepresented groups;
2. Better prepare engineers for the complexities of the 21st century;
3. Solidify students' ability to be life-long learners.
Another area of research in producing hydrogen from renewable
energy.This work brings together engineers from several disciplines to
tackle the problem of combining several technologies to help solve one
of society's grand challenges: transitioning to renewable energy
sources. Masters student Jeff Crane demonstrate a single stack
hydrogen fuel cell in this picture.
