Science Shouldn't Be A Luxury

Type:: Media
Description/Abstract:: What happens when the biggest barrier to scientific discovery isn’t a lack of ideas, but the cost of the tools themselves? In this episode, Jarin Earle, a junior in Mechanical Engineering at North Carolina A & T State University, shares how a summer research project designing a low-cost viscometer changed the way he thinks about engineering; not as a way to build machines, but as a way to expand who gets the opportunity to do science.

Bubbles and Biases: Demystifying Research and Sustainability

Type:: Media
Description/Abstract:: Through my college journey, the terms “research” and “zero-emissions” have become central to my academic identity. Not just because they reflect both my lab experience and keen interest in sustainable tech, but because they evoke a personal question that many high school seniors and college underclassmen grapple with: what does it mean to be a scientist? I’m Trevon Collins, a mechanical engineering student at Tennessee Technological University. In this podcast episode, I’ll share the answers I’ve found through investigating age-old secrets of phase change and their implications for the green transition.

Do Not Fear Failure

Type:: Media
Description/Abstract:: Kennedy Whiters lives by "Do not fear failure; rather, fear not trying." She participated in the REALIZE REU when she was a junior at Albany State University. Kennedy performed research on methanogens, a type of anaerobic bacteria that consumes carbon dioxide and turns it into natural gas, which we can use as a source of energy in power plants. In this episode, she describes her experience working in the lab of Prof Annie Rowe, where she found the lab group to be a good source of positive support, like her family.

BUILD TO ADAPT: HOW E.D.E.N. REIMAGINES CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT FOR NONSTOP OPERATIONS

Type:: Student Work
Description/Abstract:: This capstone report presents E.D.E.N. (Every Day, Every Night) — an original continuous improvement framework designed for nonstop, high-dependency operations in industries such as logistics, aviation, digital infrastructure, and healthcare. Drawing on principles from Lean, Six Sigma, high-reliability organizations (HROs), and data-driven decision science, the paper introduces four interlocking pillars: Engaged & Empowered Teams, Data-Driven Continuous Feedback, End-to-End Alignment, and Nonstop Adaptive Resilience. Through detailed analysis of recent global disruptions — including the 2025 CrowdStrike outage, Boeing’s manufacturing failures, the Red Sea shipping crisis, and Taiwan’s semiconductor challenges — the work demonstrates how organizations can embed real-time adaptability, resilience, and continuous improvement directly into their operations. The E.D.E.N. framework is proposed as a new model for achieving operational excellence and resilience in an era where downtime is no longer an option.

Wireless Sensor Monitoring Water Use at Fixtures

Type:: Dataset
Description/Abstract:: The Dataset contains raw data that indicates the start and stop time of water flowing at fixtures in the Marian Spencer Hall Cafeteria restroom during hours of operation. The data were collected as part of an effort to develop and test a novel method of measuring flow to calculate the probability that the fixture is busy (fixture p-value). The fixture p-value is one of the parameters necessary to predict peak demand in buildings for pipe sizing purposes. There are two .csv files, a README file and a sample of the data collection template with contact information. The dataset also contains a MATLAB code written to accept data in the suggested format and estimate the fixture probability of use.
