  • Students’ Work on Development of 3D Printing Algorithms Featured in Newspaper
    July 21, 2017

    An article in the Wahpeton Daily News featured ongoing work within the NDSU Computer Science Department (in conjunction with students from Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and other departments) to reduce the amount of material that is consumed in 3d printing. The work is being conducted in conjunction with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who is helping to mentor the student participants and supervised locally by Computer Science Asst. Prof. Jeremy Straub.

    Kendall E. Nygard serves as Co-Editor of Journal Special Issue
    July 20, 2017

    Dr. Kendall E. Nygard is serving as Co-Editor of a special issue of The International Journal of Computers and Their Applications with co-editors Drs. Eugénio C. Oliveira of the University of Porto in Portugal and Maximilian M. Etschmaier of San Diego State University. The theme of the special issue concerns the relationships between humans and autonomous or semi-autonomous systems. Given the rise of artificial intelligence, and deep learning in particular, the argument for systems to carry out autonomous actions with little or no human involvement becomes more compelling. The ethical, social, and legal issues that arise involve the concept of system trust, which is intertwined with cybersecurity. The special issue of the Journal will be available in December of 2017.

    Software Engineering Ph.D. Student’s Project Featured in Industry Publication
    July 19, 2017

    Software engineering Ph.D. student Andrew Jones’s work on the development of a self-replicating 3d printing robot and the required software for commanding it was recently featured in 3D Printing Industry, a well-known 3d printing news source that bills itself as “the authority on 3d printing.” Jones’s work, supervised by Asst. Prof. Jeremy Straub, has the potential to facilitate more capable and responsive missions into space, for terrestrial scientific exploration and military applications.
