Systems Engineering & Science

Second Annual Portland State Univ. (PSU) Systems Engineering Forum Friday, Sept 13, 2013 9am to 5pm Portland State University, Engineering Building Description: Today’s development environments are driving the adoption of systems engineering modeling, and in turn the use of modeling is changing the way systems engineering is performed. The complexity of engineered systems is revealed by the wide range of models employed during …

Panelists from industry, national laboratories, and the Portland State System Engineering graduate program recently gathered for an open forum on model-driven engineering.

Gamification is moving from social media networks to technical sites for both motivational and generational reasons. Engineers will have to play to win.

Will neutrinos from a supernova in the Tarantula Nebula save Einstein endangered postulate? Does all research have to be immediately profitable? Will collisions at Fermilab’s Tevatron slow the speed of declining scientific prominence in the United States?

The ring is given in a ceremony developed with the assistance of Rudyard Kipling and known as "The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer."

While Psyleron reveals the mysteries of quantum entanglement to an eager public, scientists remain silent for reasons that may surprise you. My original goal was to discuss a new type of human-electronic interface with John Valentine, CEO ofPsyleron. However, the discussions quickly led into the mysteries of quantum entanglement, crowd sourcing, and even ghost hunting. What follows are excerpts of …

Renowned cosmologist Alex Filippenko talks about dark energy, dark matter and semiconductors at this ISEPP lecture.

Its mission – in part – is to search for the stuff of science fiction stories ranging from extraterrestrials and gravity waves to asteroids using the latest semiconductor RF technology.
