This week in the Undergraduate STEM Research Seminar, we’ll hear from three engineering majors who will describe their work helping to develop an on-campus ion beam laboratory. In his talk Designing an Ion Beam Laboratory and Ion Source, Braden Long, a Civil Engineering major, will describe his efforts to devise an effective layout for the main components of the beam line in the limited space available. Mechanical Engineering majors Jackson Dittert and Zachary Hinchman will then discuss their design for one of the beam line components in their talk Designing a Laser Ablation Ion Source.The seminar will be this Friday, October 22nd at 4pm in Volpe Library 248. It will be geared for undergraduates from any STEM major, but graduate students and faculty are also encouraged to attend!

Faculty Success Story: Dr. Arce Receives OChE Award
Faculty Success Story: Dr. Arce Receives OChE Award
Rural Reimagined (RR) congratulates Dr. Pedro Arce on receiving the 2021 Outstanding Chemical Engineer Alum Award (OChE) at Purdue University for his work in engineering education and “his forward-thinking approach to developing an interdisciplinary model defining the ‘new’ engineer.” He has worked alongside RR on many projects and collaborations and was recognized recently for his work promoting a new type of professional engineer – one that is holistic, innovative, socially impactful, and with an entrepreneur mindset. “Engineering is not only about formulae, experimental labs and practice, it also involves the understanding of social issues and entrepreneurship to become impactful in helping communities with their challenges.”
Rural Reimagined is excited to continue its partnership with Dr. Arce, the Chemical Engineering Department, and the engineers that will graduate and hopefully serve our surrounding rural areas. Wings up!
