In a continued effort to increase the number of hybrid-vehicle engineers, Wayne State University is offering an advanced-battery course to employed automotive engineers as well as laid-off engineers.
The course is part of the State of Michigan’s Academy for Green Mobility, a program to prepare automotive engineers for renewable energy jobs. The University of Michigan is also in the process of developing electric vehicle engineering courses.

A National Science Foundation grant will help eight universities research ways to combine computer science techniques with the hope of saving lives.
The grant team leader from Carnegie Mellon, Edmund M. Clarke, is aware of the importance of improving disease models after the death of CMU professor Randy Pausch, last year, to pancreatic cancer.
The research will cover an array of fields while integrating techniques of “model checking” and “abstract interpretation.” Read the article to learn more about the different efforts underway next month with this project.
