MIT News Office Research aims to encourage decision makers to think of infrastructure as part of the solution in a carbon constrained environment. Most people know that properly inflated tires can improve a vehicle’s fuel efficiency, […]
For the past two years, graduate students Fatima Hussain and Julia Hopkins have offered a mini-UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program) for freshmen during the Independent Activities Period (IAP). Designed to provide a taste of the diverse […]
Professor Otto X. Cordero was selected as one of eleven MIT recipients of the 2016 Sloan Research Fellowship – a $50,000 fellowship given to early-career scientists and scholars whose achievements and potential identify them as rising […]
For graduate student Alison Hoyt, her last several summers have been spent researching the hydrology and carbon cycling of the peat swamp forests on the Southeast Asian island of Borneo. More specifically, her CEE passions are centered […]
Associate Department Head Elfatih Eltahir has long been interested in the Aedes aegypti mosquito — responsible for the devastating virus, Dengue, and now Zika. In a Q&A with the MIT School of Engineering, Eltahir explains how his work […]
Enter the Third Annual Course 1 Video Competition and present an original video that answers the question, “Big Engineering can be defined in many ways; one being small scale change with big impact. How does YOUR […]
Kelsey Damrad Civil and Environmental Engineering Graduate student Alison Hoyt gets knee deep in the exploration of carbon cycling in the peat swamp forests of Borneo. Imagine a two-hour boat ride through the dark waters of […]
School of Engineering Environmental management approaches may be key in combating mosquito-borne infectious diseases. Like many engineers at MIT, Elfatih A. B. Eltahir builds models. But his models, numerically heavy and integrating satellite, atmospheric, and field […]
