Grand Challenges for Engineering Article

The article found is EARNHARDT JR. PLEDGES TO DONATE BRAIN TO SCIENCE, Zack Albert, NASCAR.com, 01 April 2016, accessed 21 September 2017 (Reverse-Engineering the Brain). It references investigations of concussions in athletes and its potential benefits in determining cures and therapies for concussions.

MATLAB Demonstration

My favorite MATLAB demonstration is the Bending Truss demo due to the fact that it shows how MATLAB can be used to apply and enhance engineering concepts such as compression, tension and torsion in real-world applications such as bridges.
