Champion for Future Engineers
February 01, 2021
As a college freshman, Roneisha “Ro” Worthy admittedly didn’t know much about the field of engineering. Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines weren’t an area of emphasis at her high school. A gifted member of her school’s debate team, Worthy had already set her sights on a law degree. However, shortly after receiving her acceptance to Tennessee State University, her guidance counselor reviewing her grades suggested that Worthy consider a future in engineering. Worthy trusted her advice, and nearly two decades later continues to serve as a role model for underrepresented groups pursuing STEM degrees at Kennesaw State University.

Industrial and systems engineering graduate found growth through internships, research
December 14, 2020
After graduating high school, Mary Ogidigben wasn’t quite sure where her educational journey would lead her next. She knew that she liked mathematics and physics, but neither felt like they led her down the right career path. It wasn’t until her father returned home with a library book full of college majors that she found her calling. “We went through every single major one-by-one until we found industrial engineering,” said Ogidigben, who graduates from Kennesaw State University this month with a degree in industrial and systems engineering. “It’s a field that combines all of my interests, and I decided right then it was the right choice for me.”

Engineering Students Address Pandemic Needs Through Design
August 13, 2020
In times of need, engineers are often called upon to develop innovative solutions that address society’s most pressing issues. Throughout the summer, students in Kennesaw State University’s product realization course tried their hand in positively impacting the ongoing coronavirus pandemic through research and design. Taught by Dal Hyung Kim, assistant professor of mechanical engineering in the Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology, the course took students through a rigorous design process from assessing case studies to implementation, culminating in a final project in which students were to improve an existing product or create an entirely new one to aid one area of the COVID-19 response. Projects ranged in complexity from trash bins that help medical workers safely remove gloves to a fully functional, 3D printed respirator, but all have the potential to make an immediate impact in the world, Kim said.
