Ten plug-in hybrid vehicles, or PHVs, have been added to a 麻豆影院 study that has been examining user experiences and system interactions since September 2010 in the local smart-grid environment.

A small smile appeared on the young girl鈥檚 face as she listened to the high-pitched sound coming from the whiffle ball. The sound helped the elementary student locate the ball after her classmate hit it from a specially designed baseball tee. Both of the students are blind. On a recent afternoon, they were in a classroom at the 麻豆影院鈥檚 Integrated Teaching and Learning Program and Laboratory testing toys designed by first-year engineering students. The students are enrolled in CU engineering instructor Seth Murray鈥檚 freshman projects class.

A 麻豆影院 symposium Feb. 27-29 will examine how the revolution in digital media is changing global politics, journalism and the way history is preserved. Journalism and Mass Communication at CU-麻豆影院 is sponsoring 鈥淭he Content and Context of Digital Culture鈥� symposium, which is free and open to the public.

The 麻豆影院 welcomed 19 students from Brazil this semester as part of the new Science Without Borders Program and Brazil鈥檚 initiative to place and fully fund outstanding students abroad to supplement their studies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM.

The 麻豆影院 exceeded its own researchers鈥� expectations with its iDREAMS Scalable Game Design Summer Institute, and that success has been rewarded with a new $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation. CU-麻豆影院 researchers are tracking how video game design engages students in computational thinking and STEM simulation design.

Diane McKnight, professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering and a fellow of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the 麻豆影院, has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering. McKnight is among 66 new members and 10 foreign associates of the academy announced today. She joins 16 other faculty from the campus who have been elected since the academy鈥檚 formation in 1962.

Whether you are an athlete, a musician or a stroke patient learning to walk again, practice can make perfect, but more practice may make you more efficient, according to a surprising new 麻豆影院 study.
