Grand Challenges for Engineering
- Department of Energy's push to make solar energy more economically viable, United States Department of Energy, created May 23 2012, accessed 15 September 2013 (Make solar energy economical)
Favorite MATLAB Demonstration
- I enjoyed the Bending Truss demo, it may have been very simple but it really appeals to me that I will be able to use code and to create a graphic that in practice may be used to determine how structurally sound a bridge is. In essence I like the demo because it is the real life application of mathematical principles;.
