Engineering In The News
Traffic safety advocates raise awareness of the deadly crashes on Clark County roadways while highlighting a day next month that recognizes road crash victims.
“Can you imagine a day when you turn on your faucet and no water comes out?” The hypothetical question, posed by a research team at UNLV, is called a “Day Zero” scenario. It sounds like the plot of a doomsday apocalypse series but it’s not as unimaginable - or as far-fetched - as a Hollywood screenplay might seem.
The Nevada Department of Public Safety and Transportation released the September 2024 year-to-date state fatal report — highlighting a two percent increase in deaths so far in the state and a 13% increase in Clark County.
In March, GOED unveiled a study by UNLV’s Brookings Mountain West, Center for Business and Economic Research and Transportation Research Center that found that state economic development is siloed across jurisdictions. Unlike in neighboring regional metropolitan centers, Southern Nevada lacks a governance structure to facilitate the planning and coordination needed to realize regional economic and infrastructure priorities.
For the science-minded, the UNLV Engineering School and Nevada Association of Land Surveyors will offer interactive hands-on science activities. Bishop Gorman High School, The Meadows School, Alexander Dawson School at Rainbow Mountain and Doral Red Rock Academy will host various student-driven art demonstrations on Oct. 12-13.
October is National Pedestrian Safety Month, because this is when fatalities for vulnerable road users increase; there is less daylight as fall begins, so this is a deadly time of year for those walking and biking.
