A device to quickly capture and identify various strains of virus has been developed, according to researchers at Penn State and New York University.
The one-year Master of Science in Additive Manufacturing and Design (M.S. AMD), Master of Engineering in Additive Manufacturing and Design (M.Eng AMD), and Graduate Credit Certificate in Additive Manufacturing and Design programs offer students and working engineers a unique opportunity to become technically outstanding experts in additive manufacturing in residence at University Park or online via Penn State World Campus.
The programs will prepare students to:
- Apply foundational knowledge, critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity in the uses of additive manufacturing and associated design tools and methods.
- Grow as leaders in manufacturing while maintaining the highest ethical standards in applying additive manufacturing to industry-relevant problems and design challenges.
- Strive for the advancement of the state-of-art in additive manufacturing and design.
- Develop innovative solutions through new design paradigms in their respective industries.
At age 65, Dan Hurwitz was facing a decision at a crossroads. Was he going to complete his dream of biking across the United States — some 3,900 miles of mountains, deserts and plains over a stretch of four months — or would he wait longer, perhaps missing his window for the feat?
