Today's advanced engineering tools and multidisciplinary projects make engineering research more vital than ever. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering, our talented faculty excel in many areas, including emerging interdisciplinary fields such as biomedical engineering, energy research, nanotechnology and atomic-level engineering. The college's consortia and partnerships with more than 200 industrial and governent partners help support and share its research and technology. Our students — tomorrow's leaders — learn in a world-class environment so that they can not only live in that changing world, but they create and shape those changes as well. On campus, students can exercise their creativity and entrepreneurship in both coursework and through extracurricular opportunities such as design competitions and hands-on experience creating new technology-based businesses.

METRICS AND METHODS TO QUANTIFY AND COMMUNICATE TROPICAL CYCLONE RAINFALL HAZARD
(2021-03-05)CHAPTER 1 | INTRODUCTION 1.1 | TROPICAL CYCLONE RAINFALL HAZARD The intense rainfall associated with tropical cyclones (TC) is a significant hazard to human life and property. From 1963 to 2012, extreme rainfall was the ... -
Biotite Nanoindentation Data
(2021-02-23)Phyllosilicate minerals, due to their sheets structure and morphology, are known to cause anisotropy in bulk rock properties and make the bulk rock more compliant. Accurately characterizing the micromechanical behavior of ... -
EVALUATION OF RADIOMICS AND MACHINE LEARNING IN IDENTIFICATION OF AGGRESSIVE TUMOR FEATURES IN RENAL CELL CARCINOMA (RCC)
(2020)The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of CT radiomics features and machine learning analysis to identify aggressive tumor features, including high nuclear grade (NG) and sarcomatoid (sarc) features, in large ... -
Computational Investigation of Starting Characteristics of An Induction Machine
(2020)An induction machine consumes a very high inrush current during start-up, which can be potentially damaging to the machine itself and to the appliances connected. In the past, various studies focused on analytical and ... -
Development of a Benchmarking and Metrics Model for Electrical Contracting Firms
(2020-08)Despite its noticeable growth and positive future expectations, the electrical contracting industry is facing a number of unique and complex challenges that are creating fierce competition and driving major change. In ... -
An Integrated Framework to Evaluate the Impact of Preconstruction Planning on Out-of-Sequence Work
(2020-08)For decades, the construction industry has faced a well-documented, persistent decline in its productivity levels. The reasons behind the declining productivity rates have been tackled by extensive research; however, some ... -
Evaluation of Terminal Electron Accepting Processes for the Hells Canyon Complex: Gaining Information on Dominant Processes Controlling Mercury Methylation
(2020-06)EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The biogeochemical processes associated with methylmercury (MeHg) production remain poorly understood. Biogeochemical conditions affecting the availability of terminal electron acceptors (TEAs) and ... -
Designing Efficient Barriers and Semaphores for Graphics Processing Units
(2020-05)General-purpose GPU applications that use fine-grained synchronization to enforce ordering between many threads accessing shared data have become increasingly popular. Thus, it is imperative to create more efficient GPU ... -
Understanding Siamese Networks for Visual Object Tracking
(2020-08)Visual tracking of an arbitrary object has drawn great attention in the computer vision community for years. Visual object tracking methods based on Siamese networks achieved state-of-the-art results with balanced accuracy ... -
A Static Flux Chamber Design for Evaluation of Gas Flux Through Composite Cover Systems
(2020-05)EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Validated measurement of landfill gas (LFG) emissions can quantify the effectiveness of landfill cover and LFG collection systems for the management and containment of gases, ranging from trace (< 1%) ... -
Epifluorescence-based three-dimensional traction force microscopy
(2020)We introduce a novel method to compute three-dimensional (3D) displacements and both in-plane and out-of-plane tractions on nominally planar transparent materials using standard epifluorescence microscopy. Despite the ... -
An Integrated Framework to Quantify the Impact of Competency factors on Project Performance
(2020-05)Construction companies measure their performance by how well a construction project delivers relative to their goals. The performance of construction projects is governed by merging many events and interactions with different ... -
NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING TECHNIQUES OF HIGHWAY GUARDRAIL POSTS: STRESS-WAVE PROPAGATION AND MAGNETIC CHARACTERIZATION
(2020-05)The number of highway guardrail systems with posts of unvalidated depth is unknown to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. These guardrail posts provide the support for barrier systems designed to protect motorists ... -
Application of mild hypothermia successfully mitigates neural injury in a 3D in-vitro model of traumatic brain injury
(PLOS One, 2020-03-05)Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is an attractive target for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) treatment, yet significant gaps in our mechanistic understanding of TH, especially at the cellular level, remain and need to be ... -
Epitaxial and Lateral Solid-Phase Crystallization of Complex Oxides
(2019)The crystallization of complex-oxide materials through a transformation from the amorphous to crystalline forms presents a range of new opportunities to synthesize new materials, and simultaneously poses important scientific ... -
Correlating the Impact of Project Oversight on U.S. Navy Construction Projects
(2019)ABSTRACT Limited analysis has been conducted to quantify the effects of Owner project oversight† on construction projects, particularly in the public sector. The intent of this research project is to correlate project ... -
POTENTIAL CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS TO STREAM TEMPERATURE IN THE MARENGO RIVER HEADWATERS
(2019)ABSTRACT Cold-water trout habitat in Wisconsin is projected to significantly decrease as a result of climate change. The extent of habitat loss depends, in part, on groundwater discharge to the stream, which can provide ... -
