As the year comes to a close and we head into the holiday season, I want to share a brief update from our department and thank you for your continued support. Our students, faculty, staff and alumni continue to do excellent work and make meaningful contributions across industry, research and academia.
We remain focused on sharing the value of our programs and giving our students every opportunity to succeed through improved labs, hands-on learning experiences and conference travel. These opportunities are essential to their development and are made possible in large part through alumni support.

Man of steel: Recent graduate confirms new methods to reduce steel defects
|
When ultra-strong steel parts are made for vehicles, military equipment and heavy manufacturing, a single crack or distortion during production can lead to costly delays and wasted materials. Dr. Kingsley Amatanweze, a recent S&T graduate, says his Ph.D. research offers new methods to potentially reduce these issues.

Recent graduate develops potential treatment for traumatic brain injuries
|
When people experience traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), immediate damage occurs from the blows to the brain, but the harm can continue in the weeks and months that follow. Dr. Aaron Priester, a recent S&T graduate, dedicated his Ph.D. research to studying how an antioxidant material could potentially stop this ongoing damage.
