<Title>EPA-CAA on aerosol acidity -- Research of Diane Stonestreet</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">This summer, ME S-STEM scholar, Ms. Diane Stonestreet worked with a faculty mentor in Engineering on an interesting research project.  She compiled aerosol concentration data for Baltimore, Maryland of the last 10 years, and used the Extended Aerosol Inorganics Model in order to model aerosol interactions and calculate aerosol pH. Once this was finished, she compared trends in aerosol pH with trends in sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide concentrations in order to determine to what extent air pollutants have influenced aerosol pH over the last decade. The ultimate goal of this research is to determine how the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Air Act has influenced aerosol acidity.  Congratulation, Diane, for a job well done.</div>

<Title>ME Research Lab Tour -- Dr. Romero-Talamas</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">On Nov. 1, 2019, more than 40 ME undergraduate students gathered outside the research lab of Dr. Carlos Romero-Talamas, an Associate Professor of the ME department.  Dr. Romero gave a 20 minutes powerpoint presentation on the ongoing research projects in his lab.  He then led the tour of the lab and described major equipment.  During the tour, students asked many questions and inquired possible research opportunity in Dr. Romero's lab.  Based on the surveys given after the tour, 100% of the students are satisfied with the tour and they are interested in future tours of other research labs in the department. The ME S-STEM Scholarship Program sponsored this event and we are grateful to Dr. Romero for his time and help. </div>

<Title>Presenting Engineering Research Results at BMES Conference</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">On behalf of the entire management team of the ME S-STEM Scholarship Program, Dr. Zhu presented a paper entitled "Current Perceptions and Attitudes of Research and Engineering of Mechanical Engineering (ME) S-STEM Scholars And Regular ME Students", at the Annual Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society in Philadelphia, PA, in Oct. 2019.  In recently years, one sees more and more engineering education papers presented in the traditional research oriented BMES annual meeting.  Our paper was well received by the attendees in the meeting.  It was great to interact with other researchers working in engineering education.</div>
