West Virginia University is recruiting undergraduate students from across the United States to join a summer research immersion experience that explores topics of road infrastructure through the use of “digital twin” technologies. The students will learn to use virtual models to mirror real-world streets and highways in their future careers as the civil engineers building America’s roads.

As tech transforms industries in unique ways, researchers at West Virginia University continue to lead the charge. Fei Dai, a professor in the Wadsworth Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, has been awarded a prestigious National Science Foundation grant through its Building Capacity in STEM Education Research program.

It might be summertime, but the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources at West Virginia University has been alive with the sounds of students learning, experimenting, and analyzing. The West Virginia SpaceTrek Program summer camp held July 12–20 welcomed 17 high school girls from across West Virginia to the world of aerospace engineering. Their guides on this stellar journey?
