Engineering Research
Research within the College of Engineering addresses the following topics. Many of these topics are interdisciplinary in nature and include researchers for other colleges.
• Sustainable urban storm water management practices
• Sustainable military maneuver area management practices
• Bio and alternate energy fuels for engines
• Supporting the U.S. Army’s Sustainable Range Program
• Use of high volume recycled asphalt pavement in new asphalt mixtures
• Low-energy asphalt mixture production
• Increased use of industrial waste products, such as fly ash, as partial replacement of cement in concrete mixtures
• Investigation of the nexus of climate change and anthropogenic impacts on the Kansas landscape and ecology through historical analysis of stream flow generation and distributed surface infiltration analysis
• Natural gas combustion research to improve efficiencies and reduce pollutant emissions from natural gas combustion sources
• Natural gas as a sustainable bridging fuel source that will reduce the U.S. dependence on foreign oil and energy resources
• Improving transportation efficiencies and optimizing the transportation of natural gas from the well-head to the end-user
• Characterization of sustainable emission reduction strategies for numerous small natural gas-fueled engines associated with natural gas production
• Investigate the use of hydrogen as a means to enhance natural gas combustion in internal combustion engines
• Design and operation of indoor facilities to maintain sustainable energy levels and renewable sources of air quality control
