Redbird Engineers Taking Their Research Across Illinois!!!

Our Illinois State University engineering students showcased THREE exciting research projects at this week’s Illinois Innovation Network (IIN) Conference at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville!

From sustainability to emergency medical response and biomechanics, our students are putting engineering into ACTION! 💡

♻️ Isaiah Kerr presented research focused on transforming non-hazardous healthcare plastic waste into useful products instead of sending it to landfills. This Connected Communities Initiative project with OSF HealthCare is led by Dr. Md Hafizur Rahman in collaboration with Dr. Craig McLauchlan and Dr. Umar Iqbal.

🚑 Ryan Whitener, Jake Smith, and Gavin Visser presented their Medical Emergency Response Transport Team (MERTT) prototype, designed to help deliver emergency medical care in areas traditional ambulances can’t reach! What started as an EGR 130 class project with guidance from OSF HealthCare and mentorship from Dr. Iqbal and Dr. Rahman has continued well beyond the classroom!

🧬 Cayla Weygand presented her research on soft tissue biomechanics alongside faculty mentor Dr. Mahmudul Hasan.

👏 A HUGE shoutout to our ASME Student Chapter, including Chapter President Maggie Brown, for organizing and supporting the trip!

These are the experiences that make Redbird Engineering special! Our students aren’t waiting until graduation to tackle real-world challenges. They’re researching, designing, innovating, and making connections TODAY!

Congratulations to our student researchers and faculty mentors! We’re proud of the work you’re doing and the opportunities you’re creating!!!

The Norns!! I’d love to share this project with you! A special piece created for a private collector, sculpted by @saraglezart and based on @johan_egerkrans_illustrator illustration. @joe_skynet @oliveriovaqueiro I hope you like it! 😊 #art #miniatureart #artist #miniaturepainting #egerkransillustration
When “IN-N-OUT” ISN’T ALWAYS AN OPTION. 🚗🔫” Real-world threats don’t come with a warning. Sometimes you’re trapped, driving away isn’t an option, and you have seconds to react. Training with @alpha_female_tactical at the @cakes.concealed Retreat reminded me why situational awareness, decision-making, and consistent training matter. Pretty girls train for real-world situations, too. 💅🏼 #concealedcarrylife #concealedcarryunited #concealedcarry #concealedcarrywoman #explorepage✨
HAPPY HALLOWEEN THANK YOU FOR WATCHING NOSEWEEN 2026 (and meet my new kitty moo 🐮)
Week 8 Winners - Jonah Coleman: Clear three-down back. Looks like he's taken over the backfield. Michael Wilson: Gardner Minshew's favorite target. 15+ targets this week from Wilson due to Minshew peppering him. Chase Brown: Slot-role and RB usage is back. Just needs TDs + he should get it on an elite offense. (buy low) Rashee Rice: Looks like himself again. Mahomes' clear alpha receiver 1. Mike Washington: Jeanty's usage is a concern. It might be a short-term punishment thing but there's no denying Washington getting a bigger role in the future. Blake Corum: Multiple games with double digits on an elite offense. Kyren looks like the 2 for now, which could boost Corum's stock massively. Bucky Irving: Bucs defense is elite, arguably top-3, and if this continues, the Bucs offense doesn't need to be great. It will neutralize scoring and set Bucky Irving up for positive game-scripts. - Go follow @top1fantasy for more content like this - #fantasyfootball #nfl #football #anklebreaker #ballislife
Meta's Muse—which comes with a cuddly avatar—was designed by the company to be beginner-friendly, and to win over people unfamiliar with AI. “Muse is built for moms,” Alexandr Wang, Meta’s chief AI officer, posted on X in September. Meta is also aggressively marketing Muse to Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp users. And it's working: many older users who may have only had glancing interactions with AI have become avid users. But Muse is also raising major concerns from privacy experts. Technology correspondent Andrew Chow spoke wtih Muse users and experts about how Muse is being used and the risks for AI, Explained by Humans. Read the full story at the link in bio.
