Poster Presentations From SSES Research Forum Now Available OnlineBy Pete Brown - April 21, 2009, 2:04 pm Engineering researchers with a focus on sustainable engineered systems got a glimpse of the shape of things to come at a sustainability research forum organized by the College of Engineering on April 3.
More than 30 poster presentations with a theme of sustainability were on display, and a talk was given by Michael Reischman, deputy assistant director at the National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Engineering.

| One of the posters presented was "Algae Biofuels: Designing Biofuels We Can Believe In" by Joel Cuello, and others, of the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering. The poster can be downloaded from the list below. | Reischman's talk -- Priorities and Opportunities for Research at NSF -- centered on sustainability topics within the engineering grand challenges put forward by the National Academy of Engineering, and how they meshed with the research areas covered by the proposed School of Sustainable Engineered Systems.
Of the 30-plus posters presented at the research forum, 24 have been made available in PDF form. Many thanks to Jo Leeming in the department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering.

| Another poster presented was "Mitigating Damages to the Natural and Built Environment from Geohazards" by Muniram Budhu, and others, of the Department of Civil engineering and Engineering Mechanics. The poster can be also be downloaded from the list below, as can many others. |
