UTA researcher to employ scanning laser to measure microtexture of aggregates in Texas pavement

Data-driven discoveryA University of Texas at Arlington engineer is working with the Texas A&M Transportation Institute to assess whether scanning lasers can accurately measure microtexture of aggregates, which are used in asphalt and concrete mixtures. Roger Walker, a professor of computer science and engineering , is leading the two-year, $671,011 project, which is funded through the Texas Department of Transportation. The agency currently uses camera-based systems to assess aggregate characteristics. “These lasers will enable TxDOT to more accurately measure

Free transportation education and training now at UT Arlington

New study explores adult learners’ motivations for pursuing engineering degree

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Students who transfer from a community college to an engineering program at a four-year university often do so because they are motivated to solve problems and understand how things work. But, according to a new study from The University of Texas at Arlington , adult learners, aged 25 and older, are also motivated to transfer because of the perceived prestige that is associated with becoming an engineer. These influences are important, say the study’s authors, because understanding the role of community colleges and the way that individuals

UT Arlington computer scientist’s research would make robots more observant

Computer learningThe use of household robots for healthcare or service needs could help thousands of people, but most of those people do not have the skills to program those robots. A University of Texas at Arlington engineer is seeking ways to program robots by having them observe a human performing a particular task, then imitate it to complete the same objective. Manfred Huber, an associate professor in the Computer Science and Engineering Department , was awarded a highly competitive $139,968 Early-concept Grant for Exploratory Research, or EAGER, award from

UT Arlington center to build underground freight system with TxDOT funding

A new routeThe University of Texas at Arlington has received a $1.2 million competitive research grant from the Texas Department of Transportation to investigate building underground freight transportation in certain urban environments with heavy truck traffic. Underground freight transportation is a class of unmanned transportation systems in which close-fitting capsules or trains of capsules carry freight through tubes between freight terminals, such as the port of Houston and the Dallas Fort Worth metro area.
