The NYU Tandon School of Engineering joined the edX Consortium, and its first offering will be a MicroMasters in Integrated Media. This program, which is open for enrollment, consists of three courses followed by a capstone project (for a total of $900). “Our partnership with edX allows us to offer yet another pathway to becoming...

In article number 1800131, Xianbo Xu and Nikhil Gupta report on combining an artificial neural network and viscoelastic theory to recover the elastic modulus of graphene‐reinforced composites from dynamic mechanical analysis results. Instead of conducting numerous tensile tests, the method can predict the elastic modulus over a range of strain rates and temperatures from a...
