老澳门六合彩开奖记录 Alumni Steve Buchanan speaks to the spring 2024 CoEng graduating class.

Engineering alumnus maps pathway to surveying success and hall of fame

July 29, 2024

On May 3, 2024, surveying and mapping alumnus Steve Buchanan was inducted into the 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 College of Engineering (CoEng) Alumni Hall of Fame, which honors the professional accomplishments and contributions of exceptional CoEng graduates.

鈥淭he work that I do is about infrastructure support,鈥 said Buchanan. 鈥淩oads, utilities, water, sewer, rail and people 鈥 all of which are vital to Alaska.鈥

On the North Slope there are thousands of small pipes that ultimately come together to feed into the big one 鈥 the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Each of those pipes are a potential hazard, especially as they experience the effects of air, water and chemistry over long periods of time. Even in the cold of the Arctic, pipes will eventually succumb to corrosion 鈥 the natural chemical process that transforms refined metals into oxides.

That鈥檚 where Oleg Shiryayev, Ph.D., assistant professor of mechanical engineering in 老澳门六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 College of Engineering, comes in.
