Putting our shared knowledge to work in communities around the state

  1. Set for success with a BSET degree

    When Zachary Ernest was searching for a way to boost his career, he found it in Ohio State’s new Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET) program. The program prepares students to excel as business-oriented engineering leaders in the evolving manufacturing industry. The hands-on education he's receiving is already paying off.

  2. Stronger cybersecurity for factories of the future

    As automation becomes more vital to manufacturing, the chances grow that something could go wrong. Vimal Buck and a team of researchers, undergraduates and graduate students at Ohio State’s Artificially Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (AIMS) lab are working on methods to predict the trustworthiness of robotic equipment and identify when it’s behaving abnormally.

  3. Fresh produce anywhere, anytime

    Chieri Kubota is helping the United States make huge gains growing produce in greenhouses using less soil and water. Her research in controlled environment agriculture systems, or hydroponics, fuels industries and addresses food security issues. It’s research that results in locally grown tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and even strawberries — any season, anywhere.

  4. Bringing artificial intelligence to the masses

    Imagine a world where a farmer’s smart phone predicts the perfect day to harvest. Or a governor can dial up exactly how to enhance food security prior to a hurricane. It would take seamless access to a highly technical artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, but Ohio State’s Dhabaleswar K. (DK) Panda is working to get us there.
