The Environmental Systems Engineering Institute (ESEI) is a Type II
institute located within the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department
in the College of Engineering at the University of Central Florida.
ESEI provides access to SUS resources for solving environmental problems
and typically utilizes UCF facility and resources although ESEI can
and has conducted cooperative projects involving other universities.
ESEI provides a central location for coordinating environmental projects
utilizing the specific expertise of CEE and other departments at UCF.
UCF has significant capital resources invested in laboratory space,
advance analytical equipment and computer technology that is available
for environmentally oriented problem solving. Specific expertise within
the CEE department includes potable water treatment, corrosion control,
stormwater abatement, air dispersion modeling, noise abatement, solid
waste, incineration, hazardous waste investigation, wastewater treatment
and receiving water impacts.

The
mission of the Florida Space Institute is to support and develop Florida's
space industry through applied and basic university research, and
advance university education in space-related fields using practice-based
teaching. FSI, a consortium of 10 schools in the state, conducts
research, develops and transfers technology, and provides services
to the scientific community. In partnerships with the Florida Space
Authority, NASA / Kennedy Space Center, the 45th Space
Wing of the Air Force, and statewide industry infrastructure FSI works
to facilitate engineering and science interactions within the state.
Offices, classrooms, and laboratories are located at the NASA/Kennedy
Space Center, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, and at the main campus
in Orlando.

The Sinkhole Institute provides technical advice on sinkhole activities
and Karst topography to individuals or agencies in the local region,
state, nation, or world.
|
The
primary goal of the center is to develop advanced materials, and improve
their performance through intelligent processing, characterization
and analysis. The center strives for advancement in the fields of
energy, microelectronics, and laser technology through scientific
breakthroughs in the areas of electronic, laser, structural and nano-materials.
It seeks comprehensive solutions to technical challenges through a
team-led systems approach. It facilitates students with industrial
internships, government fellowships, and co-op opportunities to prepare
them for challenging careers in the vital technologies.

The
Institute for Computational Engineering (ICE) is comprised of members
from several disciplines within the College of Engineering including
Mechanical, Civil, Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments.
It is dedicated to promoting research and education in the area of
Computational Engineering. It was established as a forum for faculty,
students and local engineers to interact on matters dealing with methods,
applications and computer platforms used in computational engineering.
It strives to promote the enhancement of computational infrastructure
at UCF and the development and dissemination of advanced software
on various platforms. ICE would like to become an important resource
to the local engineering community and strive to bring in external
sponsorships and high quality students in the multi-disciplinary fields
covered.

The
Transportation Systems Institute (TSI) serves as the research center
of the transportation oriented research projects within the Department
of Civil and Environmental Engineering. TSI is involved with traffic
operations, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), traffic safety,
and transportation planning. In 1995/1996 academic year, TSI attracted
sponsored projects with a total budget of well over one million dollars.
The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) lab, located in the UCF's
new Engineering II building, is the center of TSI's research operation.

The
Consortium for Applied Acoustoelectronics Technology (CAAT) is a consortium
of faculty and staff from UCF Electrical & Computer Engineering,
Physics, Chemistry, and Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering
Departments. Areas of interest include bulk acoustic wave technology,
surface acoustic wave technology, oscillators and subsystems, and
micro-fabrication. CAAT is funded by industry and government contracts
and affiliates.
|
|
|
| The
Center's mission is to apply computer simulation, driving simulators,
virtual reality, wireless communication and other advanced technologies
to enhance the planning, design, operation, management, and safety
of transportation systems especially intermodal systems. CATSS will
build on a solid base of transportation research and education at
UCF. The building blocks of this base include traffic operations and
safety, simulation and training, human factors, driving simulators,
and computer science |
