Technology Revolutionizes EE Educational Structures
4 hours ago by Tyler Charboneau
With technology constantly evolving and expanding, it only makes sense that the EE educational structure would try to keep up, even during unexpected circumstances.
It’s widely understood that the engineering world is frantically evolving, affecting various outlets from workflow processes to the EE educational system. As companies continue to innovate via R&D and engineering consortiums push development forward, many new technologies are hitting the market. Existing professionals are driving these efforts.
That development can create a disparity in technological understanding. Experienced engineers, or those fortunate enough to gain timely employment, can attain valuable exposure. However, prospective engineers must be prepared with up-to-date information. To best prepare future engineers, colleges continually adjust their EE programs
Leveraging vibrations and ultrasound waves to diagnose, treat brain ailments
A team of engineering researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology hopes to uncover new ways to diagnose and treat brain ailments, from tumors and stroke to Parkinson s disease, leveraging vibrations and ultrasound waves.
The five-year, $2 million National Science Foundation (NSF) project initiated in 2019 already has resulted in several published journal articles that offer promising new methods to focus ultrasound waves through the skull, which could lead to broader use of ultrasound imaging -; considered safer and less expensive than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology.
Specifically, the team is researching a broad range of frequencies, spanning low frequency vibrations (audio frequency range) and moderate frequency guided waves (100 kHz to 1 MHz) to high frequencies employed in brain imaging and therapy (in the MHz range).

“We’re all students with a backup plan,” singer-songwriter and guitarist Rhys Heraghty said. “(Music) is just an extracurricular thing we take very seriously.”
Though, for Heraghty and the other four members of his band, The Rocky Coasts, it seems more like school is the backup plan to the music. That’s not to say any one of them is a bad student but it’s clear with the way they talk about their music that none of them have plans of slowing down until they hit it big.
Why we should prioritize vaccinating young adults. Now.
Reading this title, you’re probably shaking your head in disbelief, disgruntlement, or more than likely a passionate mixture of the two. And for good reason: It’s no secret that seniors are extremely vulnerable to COVID-19, especially when considering that they are drastically more likely to require hospitalization and even die if they do contract the virus. Further, if you’re among those registered for a COVID-19 vaccine appointment, you’ve probably sat at the computer clicking the refresh button relentlessly. Given the scarcity of available appointments, it may seem rashly irresponsible and even selfish for a teenager like me to ask that we start prioritizing the vaccination of young adults over seniors. In reality, I say this not because I am a young adult fearful of the virus, but rather, because I want to protect the older generation.
