• Above Ground Agriculture (AGA) Takes Crop Production to New Heights
  Above Ground Agriculture (AGA) is a method of growing plants using alternatives to ground soil. This method is seen by some as a solution to many of the problems facing today's farmers, and a tool for meeting the agricultural needs of a changing society. Yet much of AGA technology is in the infant stages of development and looks to engineers for ways to make it effective on a large scale.
• Reinventing the Philosophy of Graduate Engineering Education
  Just as the colonial colleges were compelled by national forces to be transformed into true American universities, American universities today, in both essence and purpose, are being transformed into true global universities, with their aims and concerns being global, not just national. An integrative philosophy of graduate education provides the solid groundwork for this new academic paradigmatic shift.
