  • Radial Velocity Profiles and Magnetic Field Probes for Hypervelocity Plasma Deflagration Jets

    Creator:
    Rodriguez, Jesse A.
    Abstract:
    The fundamental physics of turbulence in plasma is not well understood. Recent studies of the plasma deflagration accelerator in the High Temperature Gasdynamics Lab at Stanford University have demonstrated the presence of small scale instabilities that limit the lifetime of the jet/Z pinch and are not reproduced by coaxial plasma...

  • Framing Engineering for Women in Undergraduate Recruitment

    Creator:
    Schmunk, Kristina
    Abstract:
    Women are highly-underrepresented in undergraduate engineering majors, making up just over 15% of students in engineering and computer science at Oregon State University. High school girls' interest in pursuing engineering in college is affected by the way language frames engineering careers. The status-quo engineering frame is made up of terms...

  • User Interface and Database for the Intuitive, Developmental And Research Oriented, Easy To Use, Affordable, And Low Volume (IDEAL) Bioreactor

    Creator:
    Litzinger, Jaelyn W.
    Abstract:
    Expensive pricing for laboratory bioreactors proves to be the main barrier-to-entry for lab-scale academic research. Most laboratory bioreactors are priced at $100K+ and require significant training to use, thereby limiting their accessibility. The IDEAL (Intuitive, Developmental And Research Oriented, Easy To Use, Affordable, And Low Volume) Bioreactor aims to solve...

  • Systemic barriers encountered by Latinas in engineering

    Creator:
    Coto, Paula
    Abstract:
    Latinas in engineering face discrimination on the intersectionality of their two identities, Latinx and woman. The barriers that happen to them as an indirect effect of previous or existing institutional systems of oppression are called systemic barriers. Coming from the lens of four subjects, in a ranking of the barriers...
