Hands-On Model Helps Students Understand Genetic Engineering
A team of faculty and undergraduate researchers, including researchers from Electrical and Computer Engineering, have created a physical, interactive model to teach students about genetics and biological processes at the cellular level. “By creating an analogue between a biological system and a physically engineered system, we think we can help students grasp the concepts behind […]
PowerAmerica is sponsoring the establishment of North Carolina's first STEM Scouts program at the Science House on Centennial Campus in conjunction with the Occoneechee Council, Boy Scouts of America.
In year eight, the Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) Systems Center led by NC State’s Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering moved closer to the vision that led to the center’s establishment. That vision is a more efficient grid that allows bidirectional electricity flow and renewable energy sources to integrate seamlessly with […]
We are proud to announce that this week, Dr. Ewan Pritchard, Associate Director of FREEDMSystems Center and the Advanced Transportation Energy Center (ATEC) has formally been appointed to serve on the NC GreenPower Board for another three years. Dr. Pritchard was appointed by NC Utilities Commission and nominated for the position by Ken Dulaney. NC […]
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new design for harvesting body heat and converting it into electricity for use in wearable electronics. The experimental prototypes are lightweight, conform to the shape of the body, and can generate far more electricity than previous lightweight heat harvesting technologies. The researchers also identified the optimal […]
