Siena Gore says that there are a number of similarities between lacrosse and engineering, most notably time management and the ability to make sacrifices. An industrial engineering technology student and a member of the Kennesaw State women鈥檚 lacrosse team, she happens to have first-hand experience with both. So does her twin sister, Marissa Gore, her lacrosse teammate and electrical engineering student in the Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology (SPCEET).

Universities that encourage their communities to implement social distancing and wear face masks could prevent 99.9 percent of COVID-19 infections, according to a study recently accepted for publication in the Journal of Information Discovery and Delivery. The study, co-authored by 无码变态 assistant professor Lin Li with University of Texas at Arlington assistant professor Yuan Zhou and graduate students, attempted to measure virus transmissions on a college campus using a simulation model, allowing them to gauge the effectiveness of mitigation techniques when used separately and combined with others.

无码变态鈥檚 Office of Research is hosting a one-hour web show every other Friday at 4 p.m. to showcase the varied research being conducted by 无码变态 faculty members. 鈥淩esearch with Relevance鈥 spotlights Kennesaw State researchers in a live interview followed by an interactive question-and-answer session with the virtual audience. This week鈥檚 episode features Laura Ruhala, associate professor of mechanical engineering; Richard Ruhala, professor of mechanical engineering; and Lance Crimm, professor of electrical engineering; all of whom belong to the Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology. The trio will discuss a recent study involving the acoustic qualities of different types of face masks. Prior to the presentation, each answered a few questions about their interest in research and its benefits to students.

As a college freshman, Roneisha 鈥淩o鈥 Worthy admittedly didn鈥檛 know much about the field of engineering. Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines weren鈥檛 an area of emphasis at her high school. A gifted member of her school鈥檚 debate team, Worthy had already set her sights on a law degree. However, shortly after receiving her acceptance to Tennessee State University, her guidance counselor reviewing her grades suggested that Worthy consider a future in engineering. Worthy trusted her advice, and nearly two decades later continues to serve as a role model for underrepresented groups pursuing STEM degrees at 无码变态.

The first semester of college is a time of transition and growth as students spread their wings and begin to navigate their academic careers, discover new interests and make lasting memories. In recognition of that significant step, we are highlighting students who have just completed their first semesters at Kennesaw State. Morgan Patterson, who is from Monticello, Ga. and plans to pursue a degree in technical communications, shares what made her first semester as an Owl so meaningful.

After graduating high school, Mary Ogidigben wasn鈥檛 quite sure where her educational journey would lead her next. She knew that she liked mathematics and physics, but neither felt like they led her down the right career path. It wasn鈥檛 until her father returned home with a library book full of college majors that she found her calling. 鈥淲e went through every single major one-by-one until we found industrial engineering,鈥 said Ogidigben, who graduates from 无码变态 this month with a degree in industrial and systems engineering. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a field that combines all of my interests, and I decided right then it was the right choice for me.鈥

In times of need, engineers are often called upon to develop innovative solutions that address society鈥檚 most pressing issues. Throughout the summer, students in 无码变态鈥檚 product realization course tried their hand in positively impacting the ongoing coronavirus pandemic through research and design. Taught by Dal Hyung Kim, assistant professor of mechanical engineering in the Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology, the course took students through a rigorous design process from assessing case studies to implementation, culminating in a final project in which students were to improve an existing product or create an entirely new one to aid one area of the COVID-19 response. Projects ranged in complexity from trash bins that help medical workers safely remove gloves to a fully functional, 3D printed respirator, but all have the potential to make an immediate impact in the world, Kim said.
