In a world turned upside down by a global pandemic, the vast majority of people have been living a life augmented by quarantine at home. For Kadmiel Kelome, a construction engineering technology major, a second-year internship with Turner Construction proved to be quite a change."Every day is something new," Kelome said. "I've never had a mundane moment when I'm at work."Kelome added that his father, a mechanical engineer by trade in Benin, Africa, taught math and science shortly after moving to America with his mother in 1990."He molded engineering into me at a young age by...

Supported by the Manufacturing PA Innovation Program, Temple is collaborating with Reading, PA-based EnerSys to develop next-generation energy storage technologies.As part of a $2.8 million investment in advanced manufacturing technologies by Pennsylvania in May, Temple University College of Engineering researchers have partnered with EnerSys, on a project aimed at delivering new energy storage solutions. The INVEST: Intelligent, Networkable, and Versatile Energy Storage Technology project is spearheaded by Assistant Professor Liang Du, and co-PI, Assistant Professor Xiaonan Lu...

Ms. Shuimei Zhang, a Ph.D. student at the Advanced Signal Processing (ASP) Lab of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Temple University College of Engineering, was awarded the Best Student Paper Award at the 11th IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing (SAM 2020) Workshop recently.  This workshop, held in Hangzhou, China, in June 2020, was delivered online because of COVID-19. Titled "DOA estimation exploiting interpolated multi-frequency sparse array," this paper developed a novel array processing framework and the associated...

With more and more employers conducting virtual interviews through Zoom and Skype, you should think about what that means for your search and interview prep, too. In short, while the prep is the same, the format is...different. Here are some things to consider. Location setupMake sure that you are somewhere quiet with a plain backdrop. Now is not the time to show off your Drake poster. Testing!The second bedroom in my house is the only place I get a strong enough connection to use Zoom, so that's where I spend my work days. Complete your interview wherever your connection is...

In late-February, Temple engineering faculty and students from a NASA-funded space lab celebrated the 30th anniversary of the NASA Space Grant with a special trip to Washington, DC.John Helferty, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Director of the Student Space Exploration and Embedded Systems Lab, helped to organize the trip."It was a great way to highlight the work that's been done over the last three decades," Dr. Helferty said. "Students have truly benefited from NASA's support in bringing space-related engineering projects and opportunities for discovery."The...

Engineering Technology student Jacob Erdlen has always applied himself, even as a child. "Around 6th grade, my friends and I would take apart whatever we could and try and put it back together to see how stuff worked. Around high school in calculus I started to love math,"  Erdlen said. "I loved working through a problem and just feeling things clicking in my brain." Often referred to as applied engineers, engineering technologists help to build, install, repair and improve high-tech equipment and technical facilities. That is also how Erdlen applied himself when he...

Jonae Allen's path to a string of internships and a co op began with the college career fair, but her interest in engineering started with an ice machine when she was in sixth grade."Math and science were always my thing, but I always liked solving problems, too," she said. "So, I was in the car and my dad was pumping gas. I saw this ice machine and thought about a better way for customers to access the ice that didn't include cashiers unlocking the door. It was a one-off thing but my dad looked at me and said 'you know, you think like an engineer.'"Since, she has participated...
