The U.S. Navy wants to move to all-electric ships because they are more efficient and require less maintenance than traditional fuel-propelled ships. They also reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Producing smaller, more agile ships that have increased electrical capacity …
Most of the scientists attending the workshop “Sustainable Computing for Sustainability,” hosted by the National Science Foundation last spring, were computer scientists developing algorithms for more nuanced sustainability and climate-change models. Rina Ghose, professor, industrial engineering, was one of the …
Multiple media outlets published reports of the recent $5.7 million federal grant awarded to Professor Ryo Amano, mechanical engineering, by the U.S. Department of Energy. The funding supports training programs to increase a workforce with “green” skills needed in the …
With support from two research grants, totaling $774,000, Robert Cuzner, a UWM professor of electrical engineering, is advancing two arms of research that will help electrify transportation and modernize the national electrical grid. Data-driven modeling for EVs Building complex power/energy …
Most wind turbine towers taller than 100 meters are concentrated in the Midwest and Northeast. A $35,000 gift from Invenergy will support energy engineering research into an alternative foundation system for these large, onshore multi-megawatt wind turbine generators. Tubular towers …
Eight doctoral students from mechanical engineering – all members of the Association of Energy Engineers at UWM – took their love of engineering to a group of fifth- and sixth-graders at Salam School in Milwaukee last month. “The objective …
Experiencing an internship at some of Milwaukee’s largest water- and energy-related businesses has given some UWM students a chance to use their education to make a positive difference. For others, the internship has helped to better define their career options. …
Ryo Amano, professor, mechanical engineering, and his lab members, Saif Al Hamad and Omar Shaker, recently showed a reporter how they use the wind tunnel at the USR building to conduct research into wind energy efficiency. Wind energy is one of …
The College of Engineering & Applied Science is among 10 colleges and universities across the U.S. funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to launch a Building Training and Assessment Center (BTAC), in which technical college students will learn to …
The college welcomes Feng Guo, an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, who also is a new member of the Center for Sustainable Electrical Energy Systems. Guo specializes in high-efficiency and high-power-density multilevel converters, fast-charging technology, high-speed motor …
