The 2015 Explore@NASAGoddard event, on Sept. 26, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars, Hubble has ushered in a new chapter of humanity’s exploration of the universe, and the venerable telescope continues to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time.
Additionally, all areas of Goddard’s research – Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, and engineering and technology – were presented, as each discipline plays a critical part in NASA's ongoing journey to reach new heights, reveal the unknown and advance scientific understanding for the benefit of humankind.

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla., April 15, 2014. - U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Axel Fiksman, right, 116th Civil Engineering Squadron (CES), Robins Air Force Base (AFB), Ga., Georgia Air National Guard, uses a circular saw to cut an even edge on a portion of a wall frame while Senior Airman Daniel Tift, 143rd CES, Quonset National Guard Base, R.I., and Staff Sgt. Joe Wells, 433rd CES, Lackland AFB, Texas, help to steady the boards during Silver Flag training.
During the weeklong course, Guardsmen from the 116th CES and more than 30 other U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard units trained on building and maintaining bare-base operations at a forward-deployed location. In addition, they honed their combat and survival skills and repaired simulated bomb-damaged runways, set up base facilities and established various critical base operating support capabilities. More than 30 Airmen from the 116th CES attended the exercise that consisted of extensive classroom and hands-on training culminating in an evaluation of learned skills on the last day of class.

Boston Lodge at Penrhyn Isa, is the location of the railway's main engineering workshops, locomotive shed and carriage works for the Ffestiniog Narrow Gauge Railway.
The Boston Lodge address and postcode is shared by the works with four cottage dwellings (mostly occupied in connection with the railway) and with the former tollgate cottage at the end of the causeway. The original 'Penrhyn Isa' cottage (now the railway works office) was renamed 'Boston Lodge' after Boston, Lincolnshire, the parliamentary seat of William Madocks, the proprietor of the land reclamation venture.
Construction of the causeway, known locally as ‘The Cob’, linking Penrhyn Isa on the Merioneth shore with the small rocky island called Ynys Towyn (where Britannia Terrace now stands in Porthmadog) near the Caernarfonshire shore, started in 1807 and was completed in 1811 during which time large quantities of stone was quarried and extracted from both ends. The embankment, which was the final stage of the Traeth Mawr land reclamation scheme, was 24 feet (7.3 m) wide at the top (where the railway now runs), 180 feet (55 m) wide at the base, 21 feet (6.4 m) deep and about 1 mile (1.6 km) in length. The quarrying created both the Britannia Terrace site at Porthmadog and the railway workshops site at Boston Lodge.
The site at Boston Lodge first held barracks for many of the 150 men working from the Merioneth side on the embankment construction, together with stables and smithies for the horses and wagons used to carry the stone. Later with the coming of the horsedrawn Festiniog Railway, the stables and smithies were brought back into use from 1836 onwards and there has been almost continuous development of the site for railway purposes since that time.
In the years from 1847 to 1851 the Works was considerably developed by the construction of ferrous and non-ferrous foundries, a pattern making shop, a blacksmith's shop, a carpenter's shop, and an engine house in which a steam engine provided power for machinery in a sawmill, pattern shop and machine shops. In the 1870s further construction provided a paint shop, joiner's shop and erecting shop in which in 1879 and 1885 the double Fairlie engines Merddin Emrys and Livingston Thompson were built. Prior to 1915 the works employed about 30 men.
During World War I most of the works was used as a munitions factory (largely staffed by women) from 17 September 1915 until early in 1919. The fortunes of the railway and its works declined from the mid-1920s with total closure from March 1947 to September 1954.
The works reopened on 20 September 1954, since when many of the original buildings have been extensively repaired and their usage altered. Machinery has been updated and modern materials and techniques have been introduced. Additional workshops have been built as well as new locomotive servicing facilities and carriage storage depots. The works undertakes the restoration and preservation of the railway’s historic locomotives, carriages, wagons and features of all descriptions. It also builds new steam locomotives and passenger carriages, and undertakes the ongoing maintenance of the Ffestiniog Railway's expanding fleet of railway vehicles.
In 1977, Boston lodge works undertook the design and installation of oil-firing equipment on the British Railways locomotive "Owain Glyndwr" on the Vale of Rheidol Railway. This was probably the first of numerous outside contracts that the works has undertaken over the years. These outside contracts have included restoration work on steam engines and the complete construction of various replica narrow-gauge passenger coaches.
In December 1998, a £375,000 Heritage Lottery Fund Grant was awarded to the FR Trust and this provided, amongst other things, for the construction of an extension to the carriage workshop at Boston Lodge to form a ‘Heritage Centre’ that would be a permanent home for the restoration of historic vehicles in a secure environment. Restoration to a very high standard has included most of the surviving Ffestiniog Railway Victorian era passenger coaches and a carefully selected rake of about 50 slate wagons representing most of the variant types characteristic of the local slate operations.
From 1993 onwards Boston Lodge works has undertaken extensive locomotive restoration work for the Ffestiniog Railway owned Welsh Highland Railway (Caernarfon). Recently the works is undertaking the construction of new passenger carriages for service between Caernarfon and Porthmadog.

Two engineers examine the internal parts of a distillation or fractionation vessel. The parts are fabricated in pieces that would be able to be passed through a given circular manway perhaps 20"-24" in diameter.
The man on the left is a Materials Engineer, concerned about corrosion and wear among other things.
The man on the right is a Process Engineering Supervisor. Engineers working under that super's position make sure that equipment is selected correctly and during this situation, fit to be returned into position for reuse within the processing vessel from which they were removed.
A team of engineers at Vanderbilt’s Center for Intelligent Mechatronics led by Michael Goldfarb, H. Fort Flowers Chair in Mechanical Engineering, has developed a powered exoskeleton that enables people with severe spinal cord injuries to stand, walk, sit and climb stairs. Its lightweight, compact size and modular design promise to provide users with an unprecedented degree of independence. The university has several patents pending on the design, and Parker Hannifin Corporation, a global leader in motion and control technologies, has signed an exclusive licensing agreement to develop a commercial version of the device that it plans to introduce in 2014.
The UC Davis College of Engineering presented its annual Scholar Awards during a recognition ceremony at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 in the AGR Room of the campus’ Alumni and Visitor Center.
The ceremony featured 70 awards worth a combined total of $218,000. Specific awards have been sponsored by corporations that include Boeing, Bushnell Outdoor Products, Chevron, Micron, Phillips 66, Texas Instruments and Union Pacific.
College of Engineering students applied for the various awards via an online application that required short answers to questions designed to spur creativity and reveal details about applicant interests. Sample questions included “Cite your favorite UC Davis course, and why” and “Describe yourself in a tweet.” Applications then were reviewed, and winners selected, by faculty within each College of Engineering department.
The Scholar Awards are an excellent opportunity for students to demonstrate enthusiasm for their engineering fields of choice, while obtaining some extra money to help support their education. The corporate donors benefit as well, since it allows them to establish relationships with top College of Engineering undergraduates.
Student involvement and corporate sponsorship have grown significantly this year; by way of comparison, the 2013 Scholar Awards honored 40 individuals with cash awards that totaled $60,000.
