Can concrete canoes float, or will they sink? That鈥檚 what hundreds of college students will discover during one of the signature competitions of the American Society of Civil Engineers鈥 Mid-Ame
Explore the history of the Underground Railroad 鈥 a secret network of people and safe houses that helped enslaved African Americans escape to freedom in the United States. And learn about its most famous conductor, Harriet Tubman, who was commemorated with a statue on the Downtown Binghamton Freedom Trail.
鈥淣atural Disasters and Local Resiliency,鈥 co-written by Binghamton University's Komla Dzigbede revolves around the increase in number, strength and frequency of natural disasters globally; the authors interview local government managers 鈥 many who may be the next to experience a disaster 鈥 to examine the lessons that they can use as they attempt to prevent, prepare, respond and recover from these events. The book鈥檚 major goal is to serve as a resource for practitioners at the local level leading government services and programs.
A researcher at Missouri University of Science and Technology has developed a robotic system to make bridge inspections faster, more comprehensive and safer. Dr. Genda Chen鈥檚 invention, called the Bridge Inspection Robot Deployment System, or BIRDS, has been selected for the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 2025 Charles Pankow Award for Innovation.
In a new study, Lisa Hasan, an UdeM doctoral student in architecture, proposes an analysis of the international process of promoting ANZ, a program to make all buildings carbon-neutral.
Xianming Shi, civil and architectural engineering department chair at the University of Miami, was awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to research how to turn farming byproducts into sustainable asphalt.
Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) has developed a cost-effective and high-efficiency maintenance technology using satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data.
As companies worldwide switch from analog to automated digital industrial control systems, malicious cyber actors are finding new opportunities for extortion and mayhem.
