Awarded through the NSF's
Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program, the five-year, $9,979,647 grant will allow members of the multi-institution, multi-disciplinary Center to develop a rigorous understanding of the security risks of the use of machine learning and to devise the tools, metrics and methods to manage and mitigate security vulnerabilities.

Penn State mechanical engineers to forge new frontier in nanoelectronics
Today, heat output is a concern in almost all modern technologies like smartphones, hybrid and electrical vehicles, solar panels, and smart power grids. A newly discovered material, cubic boron arsenide, is predicted to conduct and withstand much higher amounts of heat than the popular semi-conductors used today, and a team of Penn State mechanical engineers wants to be the trailblazers to bring this revolution to the electronics field.

AFOSR to fund use of beamed microwave energy to propel space vehicles
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) has awarded two College of Engineering faculty members, Michael M. Micci, professor of aerospace engineering, and Sven G. Bilén, head of the School of Engineering Design, Technology, and Professional Programs and professor of engineering design, aerospace engineering and electrical engineering, funding totaling more than $823,000 for a three-year program to develop and use a facility to study the use of beamed microwave energy to launch space vehicles off the surface of Earth.

Larger cities have smaller water footprint than less populated counterparts
Global sustainability is important now more than ever due to increasing urban populations and the resulting stress it can have on natural resources. But increased populations in cities may lead to greater efficiency, as a team of Penn State researchers discovered when they analyzed the water footprint of 65 mid- to large-sized U.S. cities. >>

NSF funds three-year study of virtual-reality engineering simulations
Researchers at the Data-Driven Decisions (3D) lab at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, and the Design Analysis Technology Advancement (D.A.T.A.) lab at University Park are developing a virtual-reality simulation that will place students in an interactive and immersive manufacturing environment where they can model and manipulate production systems. The VR environment will move Penn State's industrial engineering program toward a truly integrated curriculum, with a continuing theme, or story, that will reinforce key concepts as students progress through the program.

Engineering faculty awarded NSF grant to study digital manufacturing and machine learning
Manufacturing technology is evolving rapidly. Due to its digital nature, the accelerated pace at which manufacturing technology advances often makes it difficult for engineers to incorporate the latest technology and production processes into product designs.
Researchers at Penn State have received a $424,743 grant from the National Science Foundation to investigate how the size and quality of datasets created by digital models relate to machine learning and how this impacts the support provided to engineering designers.
