Any questions about the Internship, email curtis.williams@wnco.com.

 These are highly competitive Internship positions that have the potential for contingent fulltime employment for U.S. citizens, upon completing a bachelor’s degree.  Your students’ prompt attention is important.  In addition, letters of recommendations and examples of analytical project work are encouraged and recommended for a competitive application.  Such items can be provided at the interview phase for candidates who are selected.

A Potential Arlington Public Transit System

A Potential Arlington
Public Transit System

Saty Satyamurti, Ph.D.
Consulting Engineer
Arlington

Arlington, with an estimated population of nearly 400,000, is the largest American city without any form of public transportation. Public support for measures to fund and implement bus services could be described as dismal, at best: Bond issues have been defeated and potential routes have been largely dismissed as not well thought out. Can a successful bus service for the citizens of Arlington ever be developed?

In this presentation, Dr. Satyamurti describes “Arlington City Transport” – his plan for a bus transit system for Arlington, including issues such as population forecasts, bus terminals, hubs, routes, fares, type of buses, bus stops, bus shelters, ticketing operations, safety and security.

IMSE has been very fortunate to attract another new faculty member to our team this fall. Dr. Zhou earned her doctorate degree and masters degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering from The State University of New York in Buffalo, New York. She also earned a masters degree in Business Administration from La Sierra university in Riverside, California, and a bachelors in Mechanical and Electronic Engineering from the Beijing Institute of Technology in Beijing, China. Her research focus in in healthcare engineering where she looked at studying infectious disease transmission using a Agent-Based Simulation Modeling approach. Dr. Zhou has also worked in health data analytics with a focus on quality improvement and patient care.Yuan's Photo

Summer Quality Improvement and Patient Care Boot Camp

Ann Hoang on

This summer the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) partnered with the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) Medical Center to offer a summer Quality Improvement and Patient Care Boot Camp. In included 55 UTA engineering and nursing students along with UTSW medical students. The course was a 40-hour intensive training session on Quality Improvement tools followed by e-week live projects at UTSW Medical Center and Parkland Hospital. The projects were lead by the medical faculty and researchers from multiple departments and are part of a long term effort to improve the cost-effectiveness of medical services in the DFW area.

Title: Development and Application of Computer Modeling and Simulation in Healthcare Research

Abstract: Today’s healthcare is facing huge challenges in many aspects, including but not limited to, insufficient information for health policy development, barriers in meaningful use of Health Information Technology (HIT), fragmented care delivery processes, and undesirable resource allocations. To understand and solve those problems, computer modeling and simulation provides effective methods and powerful tools in design, creation, evaluation, and optimization of complex healthcare systems. Focusing on the development and application of computer simulation, this presentation will discuss two healthcare researches in public health and HIT domain.  The public health research aims to understand the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases in public indoor environment using Agent-Based Simulation (ABS) and facilitate health agencies to establish effective intervention strategies. An analytical framework based on agent-based modeling approach is developed by adequately considering the complexity of a high resolution contact network in shopping centers and uncertainties embedded in the disease transmission mechanism. An illustrative ABS model is constructed to demonstrate the Influenza transmission in a super-regional shopping center in Buffalo, New York. The research in HIT investigates the meaningful use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in ambulatory physician practices and quantifies the impact on practice operations using Discrete-Event Simulation (DES). The simulation model is developed based on a comprehensive workflow study that captures both clinical and nonclinical tasks with integration of a proposed EHR interoperability framework. The significant results include improved efficiency of interoperable tasks, reduced utilization of administrators, and increased utilization of physicians.Yuan's Photo
