What he did understand was how to analyze a problem, learn from mistakes, and improve a process.
						Louise developed those skills through KSU&#x2019;s First-Year Scholars Program, an early research experience he credits with inspiring his approach to content creation. </description><dateTime>1790610080</dateTime><link>https://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/2026/student-cooks-success-engineering-content-creation.php</link><tags><tag>honors college</tag><tag>college of engineering and engineering technology</tag><tag>office of research</tag></tags><categories><category>featured stories</category><category>ksu featured stories</category><category>news releases</category></categories><image alt="Joel Louise">https://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/images/2026/joel-louise-3-thumbnail.jpg</image><media:group><media:thumbnail url="https://www.kennesaw.eduhttps://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/images/2026/joel-louise-3-thumbnail.jpg"/></media:group><banner alt="This is a caption" position="">https://webstatic.kennesaw.edu/_resources/images/placeholders/1920x500.jpg</banner></item><item><title>Alumna earns competitive scholarship to study in Japan</title><teaser></teaser><description>It was a trip to Japan during high school that sparked Leah Hackaday&#x2019;s curiosity about how other countries operate and interact with each other, a curiosity that eventually led her to major in international affairs when she enrolled at Kennesaw State University. The opportunity to spend a semester in Japan during her junior year at KSU only grew her interest in the country. 
									Today, thanks to earning a competitive scholarship from the Japanese government, Hackaday, a graduate of KSU&#x2019;s School of Government and International Affairs, has now begun studying for a master&#x2019;s degree in international affairs at Waseda University in Tokyo. </description><dateTime>1790341972</dateTime><link>https://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/2026/alumna-earns-competitive-scholarship-study-japan.php</link><tags><tag>college of humanities and social sciences</tag><tag>global affairs</tag><tag>alumni</tag></tags><categories><category>featured stories</category><category>ksu featured stories</category><category>news releases</category></categories><image alt="Leah Hackaday">https://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/images/2026/leah-hackaday-thumbnail.jpg</image><media:group><media:thumbnail url="https://www.kennesaw.eduhttps://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/images/2026/leah-hackaday-thumbnail.jpg"/></media:group><banner alt="This is a caption" position="">https://webstatic.kennesaw.edu/_resources/images/placeholders/1920x500.jpg</banner></item><item><title>Kennesaw State researcher developing safer, more efficient computing systems for intelligent vehicles</title><teaser></teaser><description>Modern vehicles are becoming computers on wheels, powered by increasingly complex software and artificial intelligence.
