As a sophomore mechanical engineering student, Eric Cutler is learning how forces act upon a body and about the resulting motions in response to these forces. For Cutler these laws of physics certainly aren’t limitations, though, since he has spent most of his life defying gravity.
Systems Engineering and Engineering Management (SEEM) is offering new graduate certificate programs with flexible delivery options in the areas of Energy Analytics, Lean Six Sigma, Logistics and Supply Chains, and Systems Analytics.
Providing faculty and student researchers with advanced materials analyses resources, UNC Charlotte’s Materials Characterization Lab (MCL) offers sampling services, training, shared instrument usage and expertise at a convenient location and affordable cost.
Chains of events can lead many directions. For one Lee College of Engineering student graduating this May, his chain of events went from bad decisions, to substance abuse, to living in a shipping container, to accepting the help of others, to again believing in himself and to ultimately defying the odds.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation has awarded seven new research grants totaling almost $1.4 million to faculty researchers in The William States Lee College of Engineering. The engineering departments that will be involved in the research are Engineering Technology and Construction Management (ETCM), and Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE).
The National Science Foundation has awarded a Graduate Research Fellowship to INES Ph.D. student Molly Welsh to support her research in promoting nitrogen removal in agricultural stream ecosystems and identifying microbial controls on nutrient cycling.
The Lee College of Engineering’s ASCE student chapter participated in the 2014 Carolinas Conference on March 6th at the Citadel.
Founded by the students themselves, the new Power and Energy Society at UNC Charlotte is an interdisciplinary group working to further education and understanding of the energy industry.
In an effort to improve economy, durability and smoothness of highway pavements, a new design procedure is being implemented nationwide. This procedure, outlined in the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (M-EPDG), represents the work of leading researchers over the past two decades.
Responding to the need for highly trained leaders in Charlotte’s growing energy industry, UNC Charlotte has added an energy concentration to its nationally ranked part-time Master of Business Administration program. The new concentration began in fall 2013.
