Engineering, nursing ‘hackathon’ explores solutions to health care issues

A National Science Foundation grant is helping 51ÁÔÆæ’s College of Engineering & Applied Science work with other disciplines on campus to bring more women and underrepresented groups into innovation. In January, 51ÁÔÆæ became one of eight National Science Foundation I-Corps sites to receive $30,000 to promote inclusion of underrepresented populations in the National Innovation Network. […]

Grant funds 51ÁÔÆæ research to mass-produce water sensors

A graphene-based water sensor developed at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee outperforms current technologies for sensing speed, accuracy and sensitivity – exactly what’s needed to continuously monitor drinking water for miniscule traces of contaminants like lead. But the cost of mass-producing these tiny sensors using traditional methods is high. The National Science Foundation has recently awarded […]
