The latest TechTalks focused on mobility. It's more than roads and cars; mobility is the systems that move people and goods. 

If mobility is more than transportation, then we need more than traditional paths to move the field forward. Whether it's leading tests in Lake Superior in our backyard, improving powertrain energy efficiency in the lab, or testing autonomous vehicles "at the end of the earth" in Keweenaw winters, Michigan Tech is ready to take on the challenge.

Mobility TechTalks 2017

TechTalks are rapid-paced samplings of work from a number of faculty; they showcase both published and unpublished work. In this special session, seven presenters shared their mobility research in four slides in four minutes. So, just what is mobility?
