Over the past few months, Cummins has been communicating internally to our employees, and publicly, our concerns with laws and proposals that limit the ability of people to make decisions about their reproductive healthcare. We are very concerned with the proposed legislation in South Carolina that would limit reproductive healthcare access. If passed, this legislation will impact our emp
The pressure on heavy industries to meet decarbonization goals is increasing. There are few suitable low-carbon alternatives for off-highway equipment. This includes excavators, wheel loaders, tractors and combines, among others. To meet the requirements of round-the-clock, high-energy usage in difficult environments, hydrogen internal combustion engines are a straightforward solution.
Heat waves that cause excessive demand for electricity…droughts that make hydropower less available…power grids near active wildfires shut down for safety…aging, overstressed power grids…high winds that snap powerlines…these are all reasons why some parts of the country may face planned power outages this year. If you live in an area prone to rolling blackouts, here are some tips to help
Alonso Navarrete never intended to be an engineer. “I ended up in college kind of by accident,” he says. “My prime path was to go to the military. I prepared all through high school for that. I was in the JROTC and was doing training in El Paso, Texas.” When the military didn’t work out due to familial obligations, Alonso decided to stay close to home and attend New Mexico State University. There
Chris Scott lives with a higher purpose than self. As a Business Information Systems student at Tennessee State University (TSU), Chris served as a University Ambassador mentor and volunteered at his local Boys and Girls Club.
