Center for Aircraft Systems and Infrastructure (CASI)
CASI functions as a statewide center of excellence under the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. Its unique structure combines engineering, business and science faculty from institutions of higher education around the state of Oklahoma into focused support teams. CASI's faculty and facilities serve as a source of applied research capabilities and emerging technologies.
Center for Engineering Logistics and Distribution (CELDi)
CELDi is a multi-university, multi-disciplinary National Science Foundation sponsored Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC). Research endeavors are driven and sponsored by representatives from a broad range of member organizations, including manufacturing, maintenance, distribution, transportation, information technology, and consulting. CELDi provides integrated solutions to logistics problems through research related to modeling, analysis and intelligent-systems technologies.
Center for the Study of Human Operator Performance (C-SHOP)
C-SHOP is a multi-disciplinary research center at the University of Oklahoma that focuses on the development and application of computer-based tests for assessing human performance across a broad range of military, industrial, educational, and medical applications. C-SHOP is one of the nation’s premier sites for developing advanced computerized testing technology and for conducting research exploring the limits of human cognitive and neuropsychological function.
Human-Technology Interaction Center (HTIC)
HTIC’s objective is to provide a mechanism for encouraging and supporting research at the leading edge of inquiry on the interaction of people with modern technologies. The center facilitates and advances basic research, applied research, training and development efforts. Researchers affiliated with HITC represent a wide range of academic fields: cognitive psychology, information science, social psychology, and statistics.
Oklahoma Transportation Center (OTC)
The OTC is a multidisciplinary coalition of Oklahoma State University, the University of Oklahoma, and Langston University to serve as a resource for solving critical transportation problems in the state and in the nation in a cooperative manner. The OTC has over 30 founding partners including the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, Oklahoma Transportation Authority, and companies and associations representing all transportation modes. Since its inception, the OTC faculty and students have worked collaboratively on different projects covering a broad spectrum of topics, including improving work zone safety through remote monitoring, modeling statewide freight movement, developing a computerized accident analysis system, analyzing impacts of highway construction, and implementing emerging technologies for structural health monitoring and material testing.
Wireless Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Center
The Wireless EMC Center is the only such research center in the United States, studying interference issues between wireless communication and other electronic devices. The EMC Center performed the premier study on the interaction between implantable pacemakers and wireless phones. The Center is a leading organization in the total systems approach to integrating electrical engineering technology and industrial engineering systems study and optimization to yield solutions for interaction problems. Funding comes from a consortium of industries and the National Science Foundation. Graduate research assistantships are available for interested students.
