Students followed the Ganga (Ganges) River system from the Himalayas down to Calcutta and beyond as they took part in two upper level Geology courses:
1. "Water Resources of India" focuses on the efforts of government to stimulate economic growth while protecting the environment and cultural resources of the river system. The course covers basic water resources and hydrology principles and then delves into issues specific to India.
2. "Pollution in the Developing World" focuses on the fundame
Anthony Rowe, an assistant research professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, knows exactly how much energy his home appliances use.
He can pull up an energy profile for his refrigerator to make sure it is working correctly and can even turn on his bedroom light from his office.
It's all part of Rowe's research, aimed at generating awareness about energy use.
Rowe's home appliances are all connected to wireless sensor nodes, individual sensors that gather remote informa
