Utilizing St. Cloud State University’s state-of-the-art clean room in the Integrated Science and Engineering Laboratory Facility (ISELF), Professor Emeritus Dr. John Harlander is working on an independent project that is an extension of the Ionospheric Connection (ICON) NASA satellite project that he previously worked on.

Dr. Harlander is using ISELF’s clean room to test a next-generation instrument that is intended to orbit the Earth while monitoring upper atmospheric winds. This new instrument, the Interferometer for Neutral Dynamics (INDI), is a follow-on to the ICON satellite mission.

Innovation and teamwork are important to any engineer, and Luke Miller, a recent graduate with degrees in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, successfully used these qualities.

At the age of 22, Miller spearheaded a project at Coldspring, a renowned granite manufacturing company. This project was born out of an engineering challenge, known as Huskies Invent, from St. Cloud State University’s College of Science and Engineering (COSE). In this event, Miller’s team created a solution to a persistent challenge concerning the placement of spacers on granite paving blocks. After Miller implemented the solution at Coldspring, it streamlined production, making a local industry more globally competitive.

Jake Kruger and Raven are a pair that would probably catch your eye if you saw them walking around the St. Cloud State University campus. After all, it’s not every day that a black lab attends an actual lab.

Raven, the black lab, has been at her handler’s side for the past four years. Kruger, who has been blind since the age of two, was united with his seeing eye-dog, Raven, in June of 2019 when he decided to attend St. Cloud State.
