LAWRENCE A new engineering degree program at the University of Kansas will send students into the cybersecurity market armed with tools to create programs and systems that protect the worlds most critical assets from hacking, ransomware and other immensely disruptive crimes and mischief generated during the digital age.

The Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity Engineering, approved this summer by the Kansas Board of Regents, is available through the Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science. Students completing the required 126 credit hours including 30 hours of math and science will be equipped to protect data, computer systems and networks from unauthorized access and destruction involving government entities, health institutions, banking, e-commerce, academia and more.

While dozens of schools across the country offer cybersecurity degrees of one kind or another, the inclusion of the word engineering in the title of KUs program means it is grounded in the calculus-based engineering that makes it all work, said Erik Perrins, professor and chair of the electrical engineering & computer science department. While other degree programs train students to implement cyber protections, graduates of KUs engineering-based program will be creating the actual protections themselves.

This degree focuses on what engineers focus on, which is design, Perrins said. Right now, in the company where you work, someone takes a cybersecurity product off the shelf and puts it to use. What we do is different. We create the cybersecurity technology and dont just deploy it.

The program is designed to meet standards of the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). It would be the fourth such engineering program to be accredited.

The program also is aligned with standards from the National Security Agencys National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education and the National Center for Excellence in Cyber Research. For its existing programs, KU is one of 45 academic institutions nationwide to already hold both designations.

The Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science is experienced in cyber education, offering an undergraduate certificate in cybersecurity since spring 2020. A dozen students have received certificates, and an additional 43 were pursuing the certificate in spring 2023.

The department also is making another change this year, this one involving terminology: The Interdisciplinary Computing program is now known as Applied Computing. The popular program combines a background in computing with education in other professional disciplines astronomy, biology, chemistry, journalism, economics and financial technology among them to address real-world market needs.

The change is akin to a file name reboot, one intended to help students innovative and ever-applicable degrees translate more clearly with HR departments and hiring managers.

Applied Computing is just more user-friendly, Perrins said.

Earlier this month, a Mech Eng delegation attended the 25th International Conference on Engineering and Product Design Education in Barcelona.

Alumni Asad Raja wrote an article summarising the experience:

What is engineering, and what is design? A few factors have made me ponder that question in the past couple of years, from experiencing the industry first hand upon graduating, to the general heightened emphasis upon generative design. Most of all, the question was stimulated by the passion-driven journey fellow alumni Angela Sun, Pallavi Ojha and I have been on, of proposing a module on Equality, Diversity + Inclusion in Engineering for the Mechanical Engineering course at Imperial, which now forms an accredited part of the degree, led by Chloe Agg. Earlier this month, we presented a paper on the experience of student-staff co-creation to develop the module at the 25th International Conference on Engineering and Product Design Education in Barcelona.

The conference, themed 'Responsible Innovation for Global Cohabitation', kicked off with workshops on day one to foster relevant discussions. Brainstorming the causes of exclusivity in collaborative design practices related to key themes of people, process, technology, culture, environment, and management proved cathartic whilst demonstrating the size of the challenges. A common thread that emerged was that of management incentive, from revenue driven decision making to criteria for academic appraisals. The conference featured two thought-provoking keynote speeches. Clara Guasch Sastre emphasised the need to marry more sensitive design ideals such as agency, empathy, and democracy with more propelling ideals such as scale, persuasion, and vision. John Thackara stressed practical steps to realise a sustainable future, starting with an appreciation for the complexity and beauty to be found in the ground beneath our feet. Around 125 papers were presented at the conference. Of the ones I attended, A Toolbox for Addressing Shame in Design Projects presented by June Trondsen stuck with me for its consideration of how we probe underexplored, taboo-prone user insights relevant to design, which would likely not be captured through traditional methods of inquiry.

Attending the conference brought into focus a conclusion that I suppose has always been obvious to me: engineering and design is whatever engineers and designers choose to teach and practice. To paraphrase Mos Def: People talk about design like it's some giant livin' in the hillside / Comin' down to visit the townspeople / We are design / Me, you, everybody, we are design. I used the word design there as its more palpable, but I think its equivalently relevant for engineering, despite the more rigid notions maintained by the tradition-inclined majority, whether researchers, students or industry practitioners, as evidenced in representation statistics.

The fact is, engineering without context is bad engineering. What the EDI in Engineering module emphasises is that responding to this context with broad assumptions and safety factors is insufficient. Instead, engineers should engage with context from a global and empathy-led perspective; being a good engineer therefore means developing an appreciation for equality, diversity and inclusion issues that present barriers to such perspectives, championing initiatives that attempt to challenge norms and remove these barriers. Our paper for the E+PDE conference recounting the experience of creating the module can be found here, and more details of the module proposal itself can be found here."

VICKSBURG, Miss. Upgrades were recently completed to one of the worlds most powerful beam centrifuges, giving modernized functionality to one of the most innovative pieces of technology at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC).

The centrifuge, housed in ERDCs Centrifuge Research Complex (CRC) within the Geotechnical and Structures Laboratorys (GSL) Geotechnical Engineering and Geosciences Branch (GEGB), received improvements to its electrical and hydraulic systems, along with major renovations to the control building. The upgrades support a larger research staff, enable better collaboration with outside organizations and technologically enhance control between the centrifuges on-board systems and researchers.

A centrifuge model is scaled down from real-world prototypes that include research areas such as large infrastructural issues too difficult to model at full scale such as dams, levees, tunnels, retaining walls, offshore platforms, and much more. The centrifuge can also speed up processes that take significant time to replicate such as clay consolidation, ecosystems and soil contamination.

The centrifuge helps inform engineering solutions without using excessive resources, which is more cost effective and more efficient, said Ryan Bockman, a CRC engineering technician. Additionally, the answers that come out of the centrifuge tests have real-world impacts, such as keeping people safe from levee failure, for example.

Centrifuge research applies to many scalable problems, and research incorporates unique capabilities and capitalizes on the customers knowledge to bridge the gap between lab and field scale. The centrifuge can scale gravity to match real-world conditions in a controlled facility to model complex structures, systems and phenomena.

Building upon the centrifuge's assets gives the machine added resources that engineers and scientists could apply to future, current and past studies.

Included in the latest updates are technological innovations important to centrifuge testing in the last 10 years, giving us many more tools and flexibility to collect all kinds of measurable data for researchers using the centrifuge, said Dr. April Bowman, a research civil engineer at the CRC.

Bowman believes the upgraded capabilities allow the machine to perform at groundbreaking levels.

The changes have improved the reliability of the centrifuge and modernized how we control experiments and collect data, said Bowman. The changes make things like high-speed photography results instantaneously available to researchers in the control room without stopping the centrifuge. These improvements give us more tools and flexibility to collect measurable data for researchers.

Engineers praise the centrifuges efficiency, which leads to the machines ability to solve real-world challenges. The centrifuges ability to analyze real-world scenarios before they occur also provides engineers with the necessary tools to solve problems when they arise.

Because the centrifuge allows for replication of different processes in a controlled and repeatable environment, engineering solutions can be tested before being implemented in the field, said Joelle Westcott, a CRC research civil engineer. This means the centrifuge allows for innovation and creative solutions for safe and reliable infrastructure, which is an increasing necessity due to continuous environmental changes.

For Bockman and Wescott, having the chance to lend their expertise to the machine is a valuable experience.

Its cool working at the CRC. I like that I can apply my diverse background in construction to help solve some of the worlds engineering problems, said Bockman.

What I love most about the job is the diverse projects, capabilities, and research our centrifuge can do. We can tackle so many different problems, said Westcott.

Galp has reached final investment decision (FID) on two large scale projects to reduce the carbon footprint of the Sines refinery and of its products.

Galp and Mitsui are joining forces to produce and market advanced biofuels from Sines by creating a 75/25 joint venture (JV) and invest in a large scale 270 000 tpy unit adjacent to the Sines refinery.

The unit will use waste residues to produce renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil [HVO]) and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), allowing to avoid c.800 000 tpy of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 3, CO2e), when compared to its fossil fuels alternatives.

The plant will use Axens technology and Technip Energies has been selected as the main Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) provider.

The total investments in the new plant are estimated at c.400 million.

Galp will also invest in the construction of a 100 MW electrolysis plant, to produce up to 15 000 tpy of renewable hydrogen.

This large-scale project will allow the replacement of approximately 20% of the existing grey hydrogen consumption of the Sines refinery and may lead to GHG emissions reduction of approximately 110 000 tpy (Scope 1 &2, CO2e).

The electrolysers will be supplied by renewable power, originated from long-term supply agreements, also leveraging on the Galp renewable power asset base. The unit will use industrial recycled water, with expected annual consumption representing less than 3% of the average annual needs of the refinery.

Plug Power was awarded the order for the 100 MW proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers, whilst Technip Energies will be the main EPCM provider.

The total investments for this green hydrogen project are estimated at c.250 million.
