Statewide Support: Georgia Tech Helps Georgia Businesses Compete
The Georgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership (GaMEP) was chartered in its original form in 1960 to help the state’s industry. It began its existence as the Industrial Extension Service of the Engineering Experiment Station, which is now GTRI. Building on that foundation, Georgia Tech now serves a broad range of companies with a goal of helping them compete better in world markets.
Extending Moore’s Law: Epitaxial Graphene Shows Promise for Replacing Silicon in High-Performance Electronics
Georgia Tech has become a leader in developing epitaxial graphene, a material that can be grown on large wafers and patterned for use in electronics manufacturing. In a recent paper, Georgia Tech researchers reported fabricating an array of 10,000 top-gated transistors on a 0.24 square centimeter chip.
Research Horizons Summer 2008 — Georgia Tech Savannah not only provides engineering education, but is also becoming a center for research on topics ranging from hurricanes, tsunamis and beach erosion to development of technologies and logistics for port operations and distance learning.
Research Horizons Winter/Spring 2008 — When Georgia Tech President Wayne Clough broke ground on the first building of the new Biotechnology Complex in May 1998, the shovel heralded more than just new brick and glass. The four new structures built around the quadrangle became the physical manifestations of one of the most dramatic changes in Georgia Tech’s nearly 125-year history: the convergence of bioscience and engineering.
Research Horizons Magazine Winter/Spring 2008 — The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University is the only academic department in the United States to host three National Institutes of Health (NIH) centers focused on nanomedicine.
Research Horizons Winter/Spring 2009 — A strong focus of the undergraduate curriculum in the Coulter Department is problem-based learning, a student-centered instructional strategy in which students work in small collaborative groups to solve open-ended problems with a faculty member serving as facilitator.
Research Horizons Fall 2007 — GTRI researchers are trying to understand how and why fuel cells fail, because they believe that is the key to both reducing cost and improving durability.
