The Ohio State University College of Engineering partners with the Buckeye volleyball team to explain the science behind spikes in volleyball. Engineering student-athletes Christy Blough and Luisa Schirmer show you, and Associate Professor Brian Harper explains how spiking relates to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

The Ohio State University College of Engineering partners with the Buckeyes baseball team to explain the science and engineering of the elusive curveball. Aerospace Engineering Professor Jim Gregory and Baseball, and Head Coach Greg Beals are joined by engineering student Colin Anderson and pitcher/business student Adam Niemeyer. It's all about Bernoulli, Magnus, and aerodynamics... and just a little bit of athleticism.

The Ohio State University College of Engineering stopped by the Woody Hayes Athletic Center to talk cognitive systems engineering with linebacker/special teams star/engineering student Joe Burger and Engineering Sr. Researcher/Lecturer Mike Rayo.

Special thanks to Coach Fickell for letting us camp out in the linebackers film room and, as always, to Rob and Matt in the Athletics Video Dept. All you team-sport athletes out there... remember to activate those frames!

Lower back pain is consistently cited as the most common injury affecting golfers. The Ohio State University College of Engineering partners with the Ohio State Men's Golf Team to show how engineers can provide a view of what the spine endures during a golf swing. The Spine Research Institute's innovative approach may help in prevention and treatment of golf-related back injuries. Spine Research Institute Executive Director Bill Marras and Coach Donnie Darr are joined by golfer Grant Weaver and Research Engineer Jon Dufour (and a digital skeleton for good measure).

The Ohio State University College of Engineering partners with the 2013 & 2014 NCAA Women's Rowing Champions to explain the science and engineering of going fast on the water. Civil Engineering Professor Ethan Kubatko and Women's Rowing Head Coach Andy Teitelbaum are joined by engineering PhD candidate Colton Conroy and rower/biological engineering major Anna Ralph. The Women's Rowing Buckeyes are engineered for speed!

In this episode, we visit The Ohio State University Indoor Tennis Center to chat with engineering major and men's tennis team leader Kevin Metka about the sweet spot on a racket. Coach Ty Tucker and Engineering Lecturer Krista Kecskemety serve up some helpful facts.
