Model Talks
|
Andrew Getsy, a sophomore in computer engineering from Pennsylvania State University, makes a case for the new electric vehicles from Tesla Motors. What distinguishes this presentation is how methodical Andrew is in crafting his argument. This film had 3000 views in 2018. (Handout) Michelle Kehs, a PhD student in mechanical engineering from Penn State, gives a research talk on the optimized control of a buoyant wind turbine. Such turbines operate hundreds of meters in the atmosphere where the wind currents are stronger. Michelle studied in the laboratory of Professor Hosam Fathy. (Handout) A team of Penn State engineering students analyzes how the Kingda Ka roller coaster works. The team is part of the organization Utree: Undergraduate teaching and research experiences in engineering. Utree teaches presentation skills to other engineering students. Nicole Gallegor, a sophomore in mechanical engineering, discusses a new approach to bridge construction. Alaina Jones, a junior in mechanical engineering, discusses the use of robots to combat an unwanted species. |
Amel Awadelkarim, a sophomore in engineering science, discusses use of additive manufacturing to construct buildings. Jacob Snyder, a PhD student in mechanical engineering from Penn State, gives a research presentation about the effect of the build direction on tolerances of additively manufactured microchannels in a gas turbine engine. Jacob worked for Professor Karen Thole in the Penn State START Laboratory. Hannah Salas, who is a undergraduate mechanical engineer from University of Nevada at Las Vegas, summarizes her research experience for undergraduates (REU), which occurred in the Low-Carbon Power and Propulsion REU at Penn State and which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Kate Waskiw, a sophomore in industrial engineering, discusses a better way for Moringa seeds to clean water. Rachel Perini, sophomore in mechanical engineering, speaks about how we can improve the current methods of hip replacements. |
