College of Engineering Interdisciplinary Research Themes

In 2018, the College of Engineering & Applied Science faculty defined six unique Interdisciplinary Research Themes that built off our strengths, aligned with future opportunities, and could provide transformational societal impact.

During this webinar, we’ll hear from Massimo Ruzzene, associate dean for research, and two of the IRT directors about the exciting work being done in the following Interdisciplinary Research Themes:

Engineering Education and AI-Augmented Learning
Presented by Co-Director Angela Bielefeldt, Engineering Plus and Civil, Environmental & Architectural Engineering
The scope of the theme includes research in engineering and computing education and assessment, as well as AI/machine learning and the convergence between those areas. One key goal is to develop the theories, technologies, and know-how for advancing student-centered learning and creating next-generation learning environments in K-16, graduate, and professional engineering and computing education.

Autonomous Systems
Presented by Director Eric Frew, Aerospace Engineering Sciences
Investigates how smart, safe, and secure autonomy can expand and exploit the full capabilities of these networked systems. This theme convenes faculty with expertise in robotics, cyber-security, verification and validation, control theory, artificial intelligence, unmanned systems, machine learning, formal methods, and human-robot interaction.
