The College of Computing, Engineering and Construction (CCEC) is engaged in a variety of science and engineering research initiatives. This page highlights some of these. For further information, please contact the offices of our three academic units or contact CCEC's Research Technology Services unit.

 

Research

 

Watershed Health Studies

Researchers of the Environmental Monitoring, Mapping, Analysis and Planning Systems Laboratory design, develop, and deploy sensors for environmentally-sensitive areas to measure the impact of rain run-off on river, lake, and estuary health. The project involves deploying wireless rain gauges and water quality buoys for measuring various parameters, including turbidity and pH, as a function of rainfall.

Manufacturing Innovations Partnership

Serves as a catalyst for the high-tech growth sector of the region while enhancing the development of a scientifically and technologically literate engineering workforce.
