Efficient, renewable, cost-effective and...did we mention renewable? What are these words? Well, they are words that you hear in almost every single engineering industry in the world today, but these words specifically haunt the engineers who work with light-emitting diode technologies. Scientist and engineering associate professor, Mike Scarpulla has to...Read More

Nissan continues to innovate in the automotive industry. The company said they were working on a fuel cell vehicle (FCV) technology that would ethanol as a hydrogen source. The company hopes to have overhauled their entire fleet of vehicles to work on cleaner energy sources by 2020. The company indicated...Read More

Data communications just got a bit more interesting thanks to lasers. Visible light communications abbreviated as VLC - no not the video player - is a technology that utilizes visible light to carry data from one device to the other, unlike radio frequencies that are used today. A new paper...Read More

United States Navy Engineer Dennis Gallagher has developed an augmented reality (AR) helmet for navy divers. The prototype is sitting at the US Navy's Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) and utilizes the same head-up display principles that aircraft in the US military use today. The helmet has...Read More

In the last few years, civil engineering practices in African countries such as Kenya and more notably Nigeria have been investigated. Now, some questions of a recent tragedy might finally get some answers. It was September 12th, 2014 when the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Nigeria collapsed, killing 115...Read More
