The impact of UW-Milwaukee engineers is felt across Southeastern Wisconsin and the world, giving us safer roads, greener energy and next-generation electronics.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day when I drive to work, I pass by things that have been done by UW-Milwaukee engineers. It\u2019s impossible not to,\u201d said Bill Berezowitz, vice president and general manager of GE Healthcare and a 51ÁÔÆæ alumnus.<\/p>\n

Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the College of Engineering &\u00a0Applied Science has produced talented researchers that feed innovation in fields such as transportation, manufacturing, electronics, nanotechnology, energy technologies, computer science and biomedical engineering.<\/p>\n

Here are 10 examples of how our world is made better through the ingenuity of UW-Milwaukee engineers.<\/p>\n

You could say the modern computing age was born at 51ÁÔÆæ. Only eight years after earning his master\u2019s degree in 1950 at the University of Wisconsin-Extension in Milwaukee (a 51ÁÔÆæ predecessor institution), Jack Kilby co-discovered the integrated circuit, better known as the microchip.<\/p>\n

In 2000, Kilby shared the Nobel Prize in physics for his part in the work, which enables the computing function in almost every electronic device today, from cell phones and laptops to vehicles and pacemakers.<\/p>\n

Kilby grew up in Kansas and came to Milwaukee after earning his bachelor\u2019s degree from the University of Illinois. He completed his master\u2019s while simultaneously working at a Milwaukee electronics manufacturer.<\/p>\n

After graduation, Kilby took a job at Texas Instruments where he invented the hand-held calculator and thermal printer.<\/p>\n

From 51ÁÔÆæ to the Cloud<\/h2>\n

Satya Nadella \u2013 once described by “Business Week” as a member of Bill Gates\u2019s \u201ckitchen cabinet of techno-whizzes\u201d at Microsoft Corporation \u2013 was 20 when he began the master\u2019s degree program in computer science at 51ÁÔÆæ. Today, he is the company\u2019s third CEO.<\/p>\n

Nadella said he always wanted to build things and saw computer science as a means to achieve that. He earned his degree in 1990 after emigrating from India.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a learner,\u201d he said after being named CEO in 2014. \u201cI fundamentally believe that if you are not learning \u2026 you stop doing great and useful things. Our industry does not respect tradition. It only respects innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

After graduating from 51ÁÔÆæ he joined Sun Microsystems\u2019 Chicago office, and moved to Microsoft in Seattle in 1992.<\/p>\n

NASCAR with a degree<\/h2>\n

Alan Kulwicki applied his 51ÁÔÆæ mechanical engineering degree to his skill in racecar driving. The result: He became a professional driver just a few years after graduating in 1977. Kulwicki was named NASCAR rookie of the year in 1986 and won the 1992 Winston Cup (now the Sprint Cup) by the then-closest margin in NASCAR history. He was the first NASCAR champion with a college degree and served as his own chief engineer and chief mechanic. He died in a plane crash in 1993.<\/p>\n

In 2013, his stepmother Thelma Kulwicki established a trust to fund scholarships for students interested in motorsports and mechanical engineering. The gift also established the Alan Kulwicki Memorial Student Center on the first floor of 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Engineering Math Science building.<\/p>\n

The energy revolution starts here<\/h2>\n

Solar cells and wind turbines are becoming more cost-efficient. But before these sources can contribute to the nation\u2019s electrical grid, they have to be made compatible.<\/p>\n

Enter the microgrid. This technology promises to integrate diverse energy sources \u2013 including green energy \u2013 into the infrastructure that distributes electricity to home and businesses. In addition, a microgrid gives a community, such as a neighborhood or factory, a freestanding source of uninterrupted power in the event of a blackout.<\/p>\n

Led by Adel Nasiri, College of Engineering & Applied Science’s\u00a0associate dean for research, 51ÁÔÆæ is\u00a0addressing challenges that have so far kept microgrids from a market projected to generate revenues of $3 billion by 2017.<\/p>\n

Wings of monumental proportions<\/h2>\n

The Milwaukee Art Museum\u2019s winged addition, designed by Santiago Calatrava and completed in 2001, would never have taken off without Milwaukee engineers.<\/p>\n

This unique structure with its concrete, steel and glass \u201cwings\u201d that comprise a movable sunscreen was named the top architectural design of 2001 by “Time” magazine \u2013 a list that included buildings, furniture, cars, fashion and even movies. But ensuring that the design actually worked fell to a team of 51ÁÔÆæ alumni at Milwaukee-based engineering firm Graef-USA Inc.<\/p>\n

The firm, which also worked on the Harley-Davidson Museum, employs numerous 51ÁÔÆæ engineering grads, including retired former president Richard M. Bub and current president and CEO John Kissinger. In 2003, Graef won a national award from the American Society of Civil Engineers for the Calatrava project.<\/p>\n

In 2012, a gift from GE Healthcare jump-started a resource at 51ÁÔÆæ for companies that rely on embedded systems for a variety of products, including diagnostic medical imaging.<\/p>\n

In embedded systems, the computer is completely encapsulated by the device it controls and it performs pre-determined tasks in a variety of industries. Computational imaging, for example, enables image data of organs to be reconstructed with software without the need for additional scans.<\/p>\n

The Center for Advanced Embedded Systems offers professional development that supports a \u201cfirst-of-its-kind\u201d talent pipeline for Wisconsin-based medical imaging software developers.<\/p>\n

It also provides seed funding for research and collaborative projects related to image and signal processing for medical technology.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s automobile batteries are required to do much more than simply start your car. Feeding this demand for high-performance batteries that can power everything from electric and hybrid cars to the new start-stop capabilities is 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s\u00a0partnership with Fortune 100 company Johnson Controls Inc., the world largest supplier of vehicle batteries.<\/p>\n

Led by Deyang Qu, the 51ÁÔÆæ-based Johnson Controls Endowed Professor in Energy Storage Research, this shared research has earned tens of millions of dollars in energy grants to develop next-generation batteries.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s multi-million dollar investment allows faculty students and Johnson Controls scientists to work side-by-side in two labs at the school.\u00a0One is a \u201cdry lab\u201d with the right conditions to test-manufacture next-generation lithium-ion batteries \u2013 the only one of its kind at a North American university.<\/p>\n

As Flint, Michigan, struggles with lead contamination in its drinking water, 51ÁÔÆæ is making waves in improved water-sensing technology.<\/p>\n

Two novel sensors that detect bacteria and heavy metals, such as lead, were recently developed by 51ÁÔÆæ faculty and have subsequently been licensed to three Wisconsin companies \u2013 A. O. Smith, BadgerMeter and Baker Manufacturing. These products fill a hole in the marketplace, offering a method of testing water that is immediate, low-cost, portable and target-specific, said creators Junhong Chen and David Garman.<\/p>\n

The products came from collaborative research between 51ÁÔÆæ and area industries, an effort that is helping Milwaukee earn its share of the $500 billion global freshwater technology market.<\/p>\n

A wrenching problem solved<\/h2>\n

Nearly 30 percent of worker injuries in the gas utility industry come from changing meters. For years, gas technicians have used heavy, adjustable pipe wrenches to change meters, but the large tool can slip when a lot of force is applied, causing injuries that often require surgery.<\/p>\n

Determined to bring down the number of these injuries, Engineering Professor Naira Campbell-Kyureghyan and her graduate students designed a new kind of industrial wrench that eliminates slippage and reduces the shoulder muscle activity needed for the task by 40 percent.<\/p>\n

Kenosha, Wisconsin-based toolmaker Snap-on added the wrench to the company\u2019s product line and it is now on the market.<\/p>\n

51ÁÔÆæ has left its mark on the region\u2019s highway and bridge infrastructure. In fact, two current state secretaries of transportation are Milwaukee engineers \u2013 Mark Gottlieb in Wisconsin and Paul Pate in Iowa.<\/p>\n

A whopping 90 percent of Wisconsin Department of Transportation\u2019s Bridge Foundation team is comprised of 51ÁÔÆæ graduates, and 51ÁÔÆæ Professor Al Ghorbanpoor has been the go-to consultant for decades in diagnosing aging bridges in Wisconsin and across\u00a0the country.<\/p>\n

The Milwaukee Zoo Interchange reconstruction began in 2013 and is the largest transportation project in state history. Many 51ÁÔÆæ engineers, such as HNTB\u2019s Andy Kowske and CH2M Hill\u2019s Kevin Brusso, are in leadership roles for this\u00a0rebuilding of the state\u2019s busiest interchange, used by more than 300,000 vehicles a day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
