Industrial Engineering

Current safety equipment and medical procedures for children are based on adult measurements and benchmarks. Two Kettering faculty have established child-sized measurements to improve everything from car seats to chiropractic care.

Having an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) on campus has allowed Kettering and industry researchers to "get down" to the subatomic level.

Figuring out how something works is easy, Charles White and his Materials Analysis students spend their time doing reverse engineering to figure out why things DON'T work.

Gibbs and Associates of Moorpark, Calif., and CAM Logic of Oxford, Mich., recently helped Kettering University streamline several Manufacturing Engineering courses by providing GibbsCAM CNC software for use in teaching and research laboratories.

Two Industrial Engineering students are wrapping up their academic careers at Kettering earning a Six Sigma Fundamentals certificate, launching an academic collaborative and presenting their research at the 2008 American Society of Engineering Education conference in June.
