Rutgers University collaborated with #engineering leaders and members of NJDOT, NJ Transit, Port Authority of NY NJ, MTA, and Gateway Development Commission to help Pave the Way to Meet the Future of Transportation Infrastructure. Bringing together industry leaders, government officials, and academics, the May 2024 symposium at the School of Engineering sought to tackle critical transportation infrastructure challenges facing the New Jersey and New York metropolitan area. Through insightful panel discussions and keynote speakers, the event explored insights into technological advancements, design-build projects, asset management initiatives, and the role of collaborative partnerships in developing complex #infrastructure projects. Malcolm McLaren, McLaren's Executive Chairman of the Board, moderated the closing panel discussion with varied experts on “The Role of Engineering Innovations and Government-Industry-Academe Collaboration in Meeting Transportation Infrastructure Challenges”. Events like this are crucial for shaping the future of #transportation. By fostering collaboration and exchanging ideas, we can develop sustainable and resilient infrastructure solutions that meet the needs of our growing communities.

What steps can be taken to address challenges of #opportunity in #engineering? The new episode of NAE’s Diversity Dialogues explores how to get more talent into engineering programs and build the capability and confidence of new engineers. NAE member and host Wanda Sigur speaks with Nicole Smith, Georgetown University, and NAE member Raphael Bras, Georgia Institute of Technology, to discuss opportunities in engineering and why the outcomes of the United States and the world economy depend on future engineering talent.

Quality isn’t just what we build—it’s what remains long after we’re gone. Our first-ever Engineering Symposium at Camp Humphreys brought together brilliant minds to tackle one big question: What is quality? From insightful presentations by FED leaders to lively discussions with Architect-Engineer firms and stakeholders, the symposium highlighted the power of collaboration and innovation. Together, we’re refining our designs, strengthening relationships, and creating a legacy that stands the test of time.

“Helping fuel state and regional economies by providing a steady pipeline of practice-ready talent is a responsibility we take seriously,” said Interim Dean John Papapolymerou. Read why the College of Engineering is a top producer of practice-ready talent for Michigan and beyond: http://spr.ly/6042tI8gK

Just another example of how the Michigan Global Talent Initiative is growing our state's economy and providing important services. Ruby Alhajjar's Flow Shield Nano is helping pioneer early microbes detection to insure we have clean water and the technology would not be possible but for her coming to Michigan Tech as an international student and staying as a Global EIR founder. https://lnkd.in/gVGvjbUu

I have completed the course “Artificial Intelligence: Fueling The New Era Of Growth” by American Council of Engineering Companies of New York.

The Brookings article outlines strategies for evolving South Kansas' aerospace cluster into a more resilient advanced manufacturing sector, with a focus on key industry players like Spirit AeroSystems. The highlights are: 🌀Strengths and Challenges: South Kansas boasts a robust aerospace base but must address economic volatility and workforce development needs. Opportunities:  🌀Diversification: Reduce reliance on aerospace by expanding into other advanced manufacturing sectors.  🌀Innovation: Invest in new technologies such as automation.  🌀Workforce Development: Improve skills through targeted education and training programs.  🌀Infrastructure: Enhance transportation and digital connectivity infrastructure. Strategic Actions:  🌀Collaboration: Foster partnerships among businesses, educational institutions, and government.  🌀Policy Support: Advocate for supportive manufacturing growth policies.  🌀R&D Investment: Invest in research and development to spur technological advancements. Spirit AeroSystems, a significant player in the region, can utilize these strategies to strengthen its market position. Additionally, the expected acquisition by Boeing could further bolster the sector's growth and resilience by integrating advanced manufacturing capabilities and expanding market opportunities.

Tequila A.L. Harris, a professor in the Woodruff School, leads energy and manufacturing initiatives at the Strategic Energy Institute (SEI). Her research explores the connectivity between the functionality of nano- to macro-level films, components, and systems based on their manufacture or design and their life expectancy, elucidating mechanisms by which performance or durability can be predicted. She uses both simulations and experimentation to better understand this connectivity. In a recent Q&A, she discusses her research and how it influences the energy and manufacturing initiatives at Georgia Tech.
