X-ray Vision? Wentworth Graduate Student Can See Through Walls
The year is 2000. You’re working on a report (due the next day) and you have one fact left to check. You go to your computer, open your browser…and wait. While you wait, you’re serenaded by the shriek of the computer as it connects to the Internet.
For those lucky enough to grow up in the age of wi-fi and smartphones, this was called “dial-up,” and it was not something that most of us found inspiring.
Student Developing Innovative System of Electric Vehicles
Wentworth Institute of Technology student Paul Miller is working on an electric motor and battery that has the potential to be a game changer for anyone who rides a scooter, skateboard, or bike.
Miller's journey began two years ago when he built an electric bike as a side project.

Wentworth Professor: ‘Fixing the T Not Enough, We Need Massive Expansion’
The Boston Globe spoke with Wentworth Institute of Technology Professor Jim Lambrechts about the MBTA, a transit system that he believes cannot simply be remedied, but rather should be widely expanded.
Video: Students Partner with Teradyne for Capstone Design Projects
Students in Wentworth's School of Engineering worked with Teradyne, an automatic test equipment designer and manufacturer, to help address an issue the company was having with downtime on a test procedure.
Students and faculty worked with Teradyne for eight months to identify the problem, create a proposal within the first month, and then go through the design process as part of their Capstone Design Projects.
Students Finish Strong in American Society of Engineers Datathon Event
A multi-disciplinary student team comprised of members from Wentworth Institute of Technology, Auburn University and Arizona State University took second place in the inaugural 2020 Datathon Competition.
Sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Computing Division, the competition took place alongside the annual 2020 Construction Research Congress (CRC 2020) Conference, which emanated from in Tempe, Arizona earlier this spring.
Mechanical Engineering Student Troubleshoots for Tesla on Co-op
Jakub Bzura looks at a Tesla on the road a little differently than most.
“My instinct is to check the panel gaps and look for serial numbers to see if I remember any of them,” he says.
Bzura, a senior Mechanical Engineering student, conducted his first co-op with Tesla in Fremont, California this past spring and he is currently on his second co-op at the Tesla in Reno, Nevada.
As a quality engineer in Fremont, Bzura was asked to find, analyze, and reduce the deviations of different parts of a car that might significantly influence the assembly.
Wentworth Hosts Civil Engineering Industry Leaders for ‘Future Trends’ Discussion
The Center for Engineering, Innovation and Sciences (CEIS) played host May 30 to an event that looked at the many ways Wentworth students and partners are using civil engineering to positively impact the world.
