Engineers at the University of Virginia (UVA) have created a more efficient way to optimize manufacturing systems, improving both speed and quality while reducing waste.
The BattChallenge tasks 12 universities, along with their vocational school partners, to design, build, test and integrate an advanced lithium-ion battery into a Stellantis electric vehicle.
Developing the next generation of manufacturing engineers requires new types of hands-on education. That’s why Purdue Polytechnic’s School of Engineering Technology (SoET) recently built a state-of-the-art facility that features cutting-edge production equipment.
Universities usually compete against each other on basketball courts or football fields. But, a couple dozen schools are currently involved in an equally intense competition—a race to revolutionize ground transportation.
This time of the year, many football fans pay close attention to the weekly Associated Press (AP) college poll. Recently, one of AP’s big rivals released another kind of ranking that’s also sure to stir debate.
Some day in the near future, an on-campus innovation center could be as ubiquitous to college life as a library, a student union or a football stadium.
