Season 10: Pandemic Puzzles
Using games to teach computer science remotely, S10E3
Can middle schoolers learn computer science concepts using tabletop games? How about during a pandemic, when classroom interaction takes place remotely? Researchers in computer science and education are working closely with teachers to develop an innovative curriculum designed to broaden participation in computer science classes.
Tracing the virus through the sewers, S10E2
What can wastewater tell us about the spread of disease? Could the coronavirus’s signature RNA sequence tip public health officials to where the next COVID-19 outbreaks will occur? In this episode, we’ll talk to two researchers who are leading the effort to monitor Oregon’s wastewater streams for coronavirus, in partnership with treatment facilities throughout the state.
Trucking through COVID, S10E1
What’s life like for long-haul truck drivers in a COVID-19 world? We’ll get behind-the-wheel perspectives from driver (and musician) Paul Marhoefer and from Associate Professor Sal Hernandez who’s looking into how drivers have adapted to demanding conditions caused by the pandemic and the resiliency of the nation’s freight system.

Testimonials
"I heard about the podcast a year ago and went back and listened to a lot of the old episodes. This was a little after I realized engineering was my passion and I wanted to learn more about the world through the eyes of other engineers. This was also before I even considered Oregon State University as an option for college. I stumbled upon the podcast when trying to find podcasts about engineering and this is the first one that I listened to that made me interested. The podcast is also what made me find out about the engineering program at OSU and ultimately because of my further research to make the decision to go here."
— Alec Bovee, undergraduate in mechanical engineering
"After the podcast I received multiple communications asking for more information on my work. A specific and tangible impact of the podcast was to help me recruit. I made it available to my contacts within the U.S. and internationally as part of a talent acquisition pitch. I also received unsolicited applications from those who heard the podcast and wanted to join my team. The episode was and continues to be a useful PR tool for me to spread the word and find good researchers."
— Bahman Abbasi, assistant professor of mechanical engineering
"I have found “Engineering Out Loud” to be a great resource for helping me better understand the impactful work our engineering faculty are doing and to share their stories with our donors. Sending a link to the podcast is a great way to follow up on conversations and keep our alumni and donors engaged."
— Marnie Noble, senior director of development, OSU Foundation
"Oregon State University is one of our top clients and as an engineering firm, we are always looking for ways to support your various student engineering programs. The podcast is a great platform for students and professionals alike, and it can be enjoyed during this challenging time."
— Amber Kelel, Systems West Engineers
