Min Zou, professor of mechanical engineering.
U of A researchers and the discoveries they make can change our world for the better. But taking inventions from the laboratory to the marketplace, where industries and government can deliver new technology to consumers, is a daunting challenge. That's where industry mentorship, university support and the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps come in. UofA I-Corps teams participating in the regional and national programs are supported by the Division of Research and Innovation and the Division of Economic Development.
Min Zou, professor of engineering, and graduate student Sujan Ghosh formed a partnership to explore the opportunity to commercialize Zou's patent-pending innovation in solid lubricant coating. Their team, CoatingEngineering, was connected with an industry mentor in Ty Keller, research and development director for Hytrol Conveyor Company in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Ghosh and Zou saw the potential in solid lubricant coating to improve material handling and reduce costs for businesses and were ready to take the next step. Their team was accepted into the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps (NSF I-Corps) Site at the U of A. The NSF I-Corps program strives to "reduce the time and risk associated with translating promising ideas and technologies from the laboratory to the marketplace."
Working with Ed Pohl, professor and department head in industrial engineering; Cynthia Sides, director of innovation and industry partnerships; Bob Beitle, professor in chemical engineering; and Sarah Goforth, executive director of the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, CoatingEngineering refined its business focus and began investigating opportunities in the marketplace. Pohl stated that "our NSF I-Corps site is designed to assist early stage teams with their customer discovery process, and we are extremely excited to see this team continue on to the National I-Corps program, which will help them continue to mature the commercialization of their technology."
Keller, a 2005 U of A graduate in mechanical engineering, has engaged the team in discussions with industry, offered advice and supported the team's grants and proposals. "Not only is this exciting to me from a discovery standpoint, Hytrol sees the business potential in this technology. It could be a win-win for them by shrinking the distance from lab to market."
The team's potential for commercial implementation and success qualified them for the prestigious NSF National I-Corps program, hosted by the I-Corps South Node, along with teams from institutions such as MIT, UC Berkeley and University of Texas at Austin. During the intensive, seven-week program, Ghosh and Zou completed about 100 interviews with industry representatives. What they learned is shaping the future of CoatingEngineering.
"We received feedback that we weren't expecting at first," Ghosh said. "Businesses were less concerned about cost and more about what the benefits are to society at large."
Ghosh and Zou heard from many companies that they were looking for technology that was green and sustainable, that both reduces noise and energy consumption.
"This has been so valuable because meeting with industry and customer segments helps explains where the challenges and opportunities are," Zou said. "The earlier we can learn from different markets, the better we can tailor our technology. Professors and researchers read journals for the latest developments in our field, but industry engagement helps us meet the challenges of the marketplace."
Along with the success of CoatingEngineering, the university's efforts to promote innovation commercialization are yielding very promising results, which has been highlighted as essential to the future success of the university by Chancellor Steinmetz in his "2020: Focus on the Future" white papers.
Weston Waldo, venture development program manager of U of A Technology Ventures, works closely with inventions and inventors, like Zou, to liaise Technology Ventures with university spinoff companies and entrepreneurial teams considering leveraging university innovations and empowers them to take advantage of the many resources that are available in Northwest Arkansas and beyond. "CoatingEngineering is the 'dream team' because they have a faculty member in a STEM field, a graduate student/research expert learning the ropes of entrepreneurship and a knowledgeable industry mentor who is a senior leader with domain expertise matched to the innovation," Waldo said.
NSF has completed their annual report to Congress on the National I-Corps program where NSF reported that 50 percent of National I-Corps team participants through Summer 2020 have gone on to form a company, and these companies have raised $760 million.

Bellamine University offering 1-year software and data engineering degree – The Lane Report
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Bellarmine University is now offering an accelerated, online-only software and data engineering program specifically designed for individuals who have a bachelors degree in another field.
The Bachelor of Science in Software and Data Engineering can be earned in three semesters, each divided into two sessions of approximately eight weeks. Students will learn to write software applications with various programming languages; elicit, analyze and specify software requirements; develop internal or external software products using traditional or Agile approaches; and use modern software engineering tools.
The program also includes a philosophy course that studies the social and ethical implications technology may have. While most software and data engineering programs teach studentshowto do new things, they dont consider whether companiesshoulddo them, said David Scott, assistant professor of philosophy, who designed the class.
Part of the course will be bringing the new technological abilities we have in line with our existing moral understandings, which may be predicated on older technological possibilities, more limited ones, Scott said.
Topics to be covered include privacy and intellectual property issues; the potential for nefarious uses of technology, such as deep-fake videos; the implications of automation; and diversity concerns, such as facial-recognition software that was based largely on white faces and doesnt work as well to identify people of color.
Technology moves quickly, but studying the moral and ethical issues of existing software can help engineers think ahead, Scott said. Once the genie is out of the bottle, we can see, Oh yeah, this is fraught with all sorts of moral problems, he said. But having already speculated about and analyzed something before might help you be more proactive in keeping the genie in the bottle, so to speak, in how you design something.
Once students complete the program, they will be ready for an entry-level job in the field. Regionally, the median salary for software developers is $87,610; nationally, its $107,515.

What Is Construction Engineering and Project Management? – All Together – Society of Women Engineers
Construction engineers and project managers are the bridge between the design team and the procurement team. Their projects range from commercial business or housing construction to airport design to highway and bridge construction.
Before a project can begin, a construction engineer and project manager may go to the job site and do what is called a survey. The survey is done to look for environmental issues that can make the project harder. Such environmental issues include things like pollution, drainage, and destruction of habitats such as wetlands.
During the survey, they also look into the laws and codes in the area. This is an important step to make sure that the project follows all local and state laws. The construction engineer and project manager will work together with government agencies, environmental associations and contractors to put together a report before the project can begin.
After the report is submitted and the company decides to move forward with the project, the construction engineer and project manager will put together teams of engineers and contractors to begin working on the project. They use construction software to evaluate the project design. They also organize a budget and a schedule.
Sometimes, a construction engineer and project manager will investigate the job site to make sure everything is going to plan. They often meet with their teams to discuss any issues so they may solve them before moving on to the next step. Throughout the project, they evaluate their progress and make any needed changes so they can meet deadlines.

What Is Construction Engineering and Project Management? - All Together - Society of Women Engineers
Global $9.6 Bn Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) Market to 2027: While Short-term Outlook Remains Challenged due to Pandemic, Aerospace Sector Poised…
DUBLIN, June 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) - Global Market Trajectory & Analytics" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
With Manufacturing Collapsing, Engineering Design Services are Recording an Unprecedented Slowdown. Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) Market Records $513.2 Million Erosion in Revenues
The global market for Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) is expected to plummet by -8.9% in the year 2020 and thereafter recover and grow to reach US$ 9.6 billion by the year 2027, trailing a post COVID-19 CAGR of 9.1% over the analysis period 2020 through 2027.
Global manufacturing industry is facing its worst ever recession with PMI plummeting to 35.4 index points, the lowest in recent industry. The impact on manufacturers will mean crunch on capital resources; workforce layoffs/reduction and loss in productivity; supply chain disruptions; difficulties with funding; and increase in cybersecurity risks and fraud.
Unlike IT services where work is being carried out remotely via internet and cloud platforms, for the manufacturing industry, plant activities and production cannot be carried remotely and therefore remains worst affected. The slower economic activity means reduced demand for industrial and consumer goods and lower manufacturing orders. Plant closures both full and partial are expected to continue into the coming months. Manufacturers, especially automotive producers with complex supply chains will be hard hit as transportation, trade and movement of goods continue to remain crippled.
Industrial output remains weak with the 1st Half of 2020 recording double digit declines in volume output. With plants shuttered and new manufacturing orders dwindling, OEM outsourcing of product design and development projects has significantly slowed. Muted activity in Industries such as power & energy; heavy & structural; consumer & industrial; automotive means lower innovation & new product development activity. With finances needed for supporting innovation drying up there is a hiatus in new product development. Used widely for 3D modeling/visualization, rapid prototyping, modelling, tool design and development & product platform/architecture design, Computer Aided Engineering is slumping in-line with the slowdown in engineering services demand.
In the post COVID-19 period, growth will be led by recovering manufacturing activity and re-focus once again on innovation and new product development. Computer-aided engineering (CAE) refers to the use of computer and software solutions to design, analyze and generate processes and products. CAE broadly incorporates computer aided design (CAD) as well as computer aided manufacturing (CAM) capabilities for providing assistance in engineering analysis processes.
Continued reduction in prices of CAE software and licensing fees will help stimulate market growth. Companies will continue to offer newer delivery models for their products and services. For instance, CAE as a service is already a fast growing approach where customers can choose the pay-as-you-go plan. Cloud computing helps bring down costs of licensing, deployment as well as maintenance. Also, organizations are seeking HCI (Hyper Converged Infrastructure) platforms for creating private cloud which enables advanced computation as well as storage.
CAE companies have and will continue to offer CAD software as an in-built feature in CAE tools. Since mobile access has now become important to almost all technologies, even CAE companies are trying to offer means for accessing data about product analysis on mobile platforms. Designers can now access data on smartphones. Cloud software deployment allows designers and developers to easily upload analysis about products on cloud platforms.
Cloud deployment of the software offers many advantages including higher mobility and easier software upgrade among others. Such user-friendly advancements will significantly contribute to market growth. Companies are also leveraging advanced technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence for creating advanced CAE tools.
The market for CAE will also be positively influenced by emerging engineering modes like building information modeling, concurrent engineering and 3D printing. A key trend that will gain momentum in the post COVID-19 period is CAD/CAE integration. Given that CAD and CAE files are different, it is difficult to produce a model in CAD software that can be utilized for finite element analysis in CAE software. This is however changing with new types of software being developed that enable testing of design and analysis in integrated CAD/CAE environment.
Another notable trend will be the growing use of machine learning for accelerating the pace of engineering simulations primarily by enabling accurate predictions. With computers able to learn and create better data using tools such as statistical learning, it is possible to speed up the process of optimal product design. For instance, in simulations, ML tools can understand that changes that need to be made for making automobiles safety without any adverse impact on design integrity.

Take Your Engineering Knowledge to the Next Level with Free Ansys Innovation Courses – Interesting Engineering
Simulation is a key driver in the future of engineering, where engineers explore and predict how products will work or wont work in the real world.National Science Foundationdescribessimulations as:
"The application of computational models to the study and prediction of physical events or the behavior of engineered systems."
Universities around the globe are teaching simulation in their engineering curriculum to equip engineering students with the necessary skills for the real world. After the COVID-19 pandemic, online education has become more prevalent than ever before, providing people with more options to learn.
Ansys, a global pioneer in engineering simulation solutions, releasedAnsys Innovation Coursesfocused on teaching physics and engineering concepts. Courses contain simulation examples and real-world case studies to reinforce the concepts taught.Ansys Innovation Coursescan be accessed online for free and are designed for students and career-level engineers who are looking to brush up on skills or expand their current skillset.
From an education perspective, simulations offer a lot more than other methods, enabling students to receivehands-on learning, which enables students toexamine new facts and think critically, enabling new links between concepts. Even when introduced before undergraduate levels, simulation is the best way to help students understand a scientific theory that can become visible and comprehensible through a simulation.
The latest developments in technology, such as autonomous vehicles, 5G infrastructure, electric powertrains and artificial intelligence have taken engineering industries to levels that traditional education methods are not able to cover anymore. Application-based learning is becoming the norm for engineering education, but usually it is introduced after physics concepts are taught. Using simulation earlier on while teaching physics concepts introduces these tools more organically.
The Ansys Academic Program has introduced a new resource through its Innovation Courses that help educators, students and professional engineers who would like to brush up on new techniques or branch out into different disciplines.
Ansys Innovation Courses cover a wide range of topics from heat transfer in fluids to material performance, contact mechanics, shock-expansion theory, and a lot more. Supported with simulation, each course provides a deep experience in the field as well as problem solving situations about the specific problem in the field of engineering the course covers.
Simulation-based lesson plans overcome the challenges of online learning by allowing students to practice and see the results of mathematical models via simulation visualization. Thus, students are able to apply the solutions they learn through the classes to simulations, supported by quizzes and homework. The free courses can be easily coupled with Ansysfree engineering student softwaremaking it easy for anyone to learn.
According to the World Economic Forum, over1.2 billion studentsaround the world have been out of their classrooms due to COVID 19, which includes many collage students who aspire to be engineers. Also, with such a long time spent away from schools, new habits have taken root such as online education.
We can gain perspective on the demand for online education through astudyconducted in India that shows us the online test preparation market size in India going from $43 billion in 2016 to $515 billion in 2021. Such an astronomic rise in the demand for online education materials are no coincidence of course, yet they prove online methods of educations are far from being temporary measures.
The very samestudyshows us that online reskilling and certification programs are also extremely high on demand. In a similar fashion with the online test preparation market, the market size of reskilling and online certification programs in India reaches $463 billion in 2021, where in 2016 the very same market had the modest size of $93 billion.
Online education statistics rise in many other major countries alongside India, such as the United States where33% of post-secondary school administrators indicate they will continue to offer both remote andonline course optionseven after their campuses have reopened and normal operations resumed.
Simulation tools have been widely used by professors for learning that builds on theory and prepares them for industry. But now Ansys Innovation Courses is providing thought leadership on how simulation can support educators earlier on in their curriculum which both strengthens a students understanding of physics concepts and allows them to get more hands-on experience with industry-leading tools.
Therefore, Ansys Innovation Courses is very valuable for educators who want to advance their teaching methods and use the most up-to-date methods. There is a great opportunity for any educator in this field, where they can explore the latest simulations and apply them in their classes, enabling students to visualize, apply, and improve what they learn from classes.
One of the main benefits of Ansys Innovation Courses is the democratization of simulation education, for several reasons. First and foremost, being free, Ansys Innovation Courses can benefit any student from around the globe who only needs to have access to the internet and a machine that can run free Ansys software.
Secondly, there are over 100 free courses in total, where a student can explore the most fitting field of engineering for himself, rather than having to go through more general classes.
And finally, Ansys Innovation Courses brings students an easy way to learn key concepts using simulation. Thus, it supports every engineering student in every educational institution by providing a supportive education.
You can click or visit ansys.com/courses to start your online learning journey using simulation with Ansys Innovation Courses, increasing your grasp of many physics and engineering concepts, from wherever you are, for free.
