In 2017, The Ohio State University joined the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) — a coalition of engineering programs from across the nation committed to preparing its students with an entrepreneurial mindset. Over the past six years, the college has focused on curriculum development, implementation, and assessment, and the engagement of faculty and students in entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML), centered on three key elements: curiosity, connections, and creating value, also known as the three Cs. Enginuity guest Professor David Tomasko is the College of Engineering’s associate dean for academic programs and student services. He was part of the team that advocated for Ohio State’s involvement in KEEN, and he’s currently co-leading a KEEN-funded project.

Climate change is among the world’s most urgent challenges, and it affects every person – make that every species – on Earth. Rising temperatures are fueling environmental crises, natural disasters, food and water insecurity, economic disruption, and increases in respiratory and infectious diseases. Assistant Prof. Kelsea Best’s research is focused on climate change, specifically how it interacts with human societies and infrastructure, how people may adapt to climate change effects, and how climate adaptation measures can be designed and implemented in a just and equitable way.

On January 8th, The American Red Cross announced an emergency blood shortage as it experiences the lowest number of people giving blood in the last 20 years. Without a dramatic increase in blood donors, shortages will occur more often. That’s why Ohio Eminent Scholar Andre Palmer, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, has devoted his research lab to advancing viable artificial blood components.

The College of Engineering’s breadth and depth equips it better than most institutions to approach the lofty goal of making mobility smarter. From autonomous vehicle technologies to new planning methods for city infrastructure, Buckeye Engineers lead global discussions and advance national initiatives.

But one of our most treasured assets in mobility innovation is our connection to the Transportation Research Center, more commonly known as TRC, located on 45 hundred acres of land in East Liberty, Ohio, about 40 miles northwest of campus. It is North America’s most advanced, independent mobility testing service provider, fulfilling the complex engineering, research, evaluation and testing needs of industries and governments worldwide. In this episode, Dean Ayanna Howard chats with Brett Roubinek, president and CEO of TRC.
