Integrated Efforts

The breadth of the ARC research across its five thrust areas allows for unique integrative efforts where the whole is more than just the sum of the components. Such activities are highlighted in case studies which focus on addressing complex challenges by comprehensive solutions obtained through the integration of the efforts in various ARC projects. Participants in such case studies include faculty, students, GVSC researchers, and industry quad members.
