Reliability allocation methods play a pivotal role in engineering, serving as the means by which system-level reliability requirements are systematically distributed among individual subsystems and ...

Also called "first-come, first served" (FCFS) queuing, FIFO is the simplest queuing method. Packets are placed into a single queue and serviced in the order they were received. Each packet is assigned ...

Cells are incredibly adept at creating complex molecules, like therapeutics, and can do so much better than many of our best factories. Synthetic biologists look to ...

Introduction to a wide range of computational techniques for engineering design. Modeling, simulation, optimization, design software, examples/projects with emphasis on computational techniques for ...

This three-credit course in the School of Engineering exposes students to concepts and techniques for design. The class discusses the fundamental concepts and activities of design processes and ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has developed a new method of surface engineering polymer soft-materials that has potential to accelerate ...

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in ...

Process engineering expert Krishna Valluru transforms operational chaos into data-driven efficiency by fixing broken workflows and establishing data integrity.

Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...
