Abstract

Engineering Georgia Tech's Future - Tending to the multi-dimensional fundamentals of a growing research university in a quickly evolving world poses an enjoyable challenge for Georgia Tech's new president, Dr. Wayne Clough.

Women in Science and Engineering - Using surveys and site visits, researcher Dr. Mary Frank Fox explores organizational factors and gender differences in science/engineering achievement.

From Promise to Product - Companies working with federal laboratories in research and technology development efforts report that more than 22 percent of their projects have resulted in new products, processes or services.

Building a Better Leech - Developing accurate circuit models of leeches' swimming and circulatory systems may one day translate into better robot control systems, pumps or human prostheses.

De-inking Recycled Paper - Researcher Jeffrey Hsieh is applying a direct current field to recycled fiber slurry, thus removing more ink, saving chemicals and making the resulting fibers brighter.

Research Notes Closeup - Four Georgia Tech faculty elected to highest membership rank of IEEE.
