• Science Daily, Health Medicine Network, Phys Org, Science Newsline and AMEQ en ligne (behind a paywall) reprise a Concordia news release about a study of models to help the United States Department of Defense calculate its enormous fuel requirements and costs. The lead Concordia researcher is Ketra Schmitt, assistant professor in the Centre for Engineering and Society. The paper is published in the journal Public Budgeting & Finance.
• Becker's Hospital Review is the latest to report on a Concordia study of the effect of wireless transmitters on certain hospital equipment and whether they put patients' well-being at risk. The study led by recent electrical engineering doctoral graduate Mehdi Ardavan and co-authored by Christopher Trueman, professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, finds that the risk of such interference is very small when hospital staff and visitors keep their wireless devices further than arm’s length from medical equipment. The study was published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility.
• HR Pulse joins media that have reported on research by Emilio Boulianne, professor in the Department of Accountancy and director of the CPA Research Centre in Accountability, into the use of certain software in accounting courses. Boulianne's study focuses on the use of software to maximize knowledge acquisition. 
• 3D Print writes about the work of Fine Arts student Tim Belliveau on a 3D digital model for a mold to be used in shaping blown glass. The article states that Belliveau completed the project thanks to a grant from Hexagram Concordia. Belliveau is pursuing an MFA
