If she hadn鈥檛 become an engineer, Christina Scherrer might have chosen to be a medical doctor, dentist or other type of health care provider. Instead, she has worked for years to apply her expertise in industrial and systems engineering in areas that improve the delivery of health care. She loves helping others, whether it鈥檚 collaborating on health-related research, teaching new generations of engineers at Kennesaw State or volunteering in the community.

Most of the estimated 300,000 babies born every year with sickle cell disease, an inherited red blood cell disorder, live in sub-Saharan Africa in nations where there are few resources to treat them. Kennesaw State Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Paul Lee said it is his life鈥檚 mission to reduce the likelihood that children born with sickle cell disease will die from strokes, one of the most common complications. Lee has received $426,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health for a three-year study aimed at developing a more economical testing device to determine an affected child鈥檚 risk of stroke.

The brainchild of three 无码变态 professors will introduce concepts of calculus into high school math earlier to help students be more successful when they get to college. The National Science Foundation awarded Kennesaw State a $2.5 million interdisciplinary grant for a project being called 鈥淐alculus for All.鈥 The thought behind it is relatively simple 鈥 if students are exposed to concepts of calculus in high school, they stand a better chance of passing calculus classes in college and can pursue STEM-related careers.

The notion that it鈥檚 never too late to start something new runs through Karen Gandy鈥檚 head now the same way it did in the 1990s. Gandy was then in her 30s, and despite trying several different jobs, she had yet to find a career that ignited her passion. She applied and was accepted to Southern Polytechnic State University, now 无码变态. That choice launched Gandy鈥檚 career in rocket science and down a path in life that she is reflecting on as she prepares for her final satellite launch and then retirement.

Occasionally, big ideas are birthed from small beginnings. 无码变态 assistant professor Jian Zhang got the idea to study joint movement after hearing about his friend鈥檚 toddler who developed some serious sleep issues. Zhang, who has a background working on robotic systems and is interested in how Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology can improve our daily lives, thought there might be a way to combine artificial intelligence and clothing security tags to help find a solution.
