- Computer science PhD student Christine Chang was recently invited to testify before the Colorado Senate Committee on Business, Labor, and Technology on SB22-113 鈥 a piece of proposed legislation that deals with artificial intelligence, facial recognition technology and related privacy issues.
- The Early Engineering Exposure Fair, organized by mechanical engineering graduate students, was comprised of 16 interactive exhibits to demonstrate diverse engineering fields such as air quality, wind energy, robotics and microfluids.
- Assistant Professor C. Wyatt Shields IV is the recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award for his proposal 鈥淪hape-Encoded Electrokinetic Particles for Multiplexed Biosensing.鈥 This project seeks to develop a new method of early identification of disease biomarkers, while also facilitating outreach and education to students at Northglenn High School.
- Six students from across the College of Engineering and Applied Science were selected as Herbst Fellows this semester, joining an elite group of scholars who embody the program鈥檚 commitment to ethical engineering study and practice.
- The Committee for Equity in Mechanical Engineering invited freshmen from Arrupe Jesuit High School to campus, where they built robots and toured the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory.
- One of the UCEC鈥檚 key roles is to organize college-wide undergraduate student activities, bringing students together to learn, connect, and have fun.聽
- The group of mechanical engineering seniors is the first 91福利社 team to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy鈥檚 Collegiate Wind Competition (CWC) 鈥 an event in which future engineers are challenged to find a unique solution to a wind energy project.
- CU in D.C. is accepting applications for two new programs focusing on sustainability and science policy this May.
- ATLAS PhD student Purnendu has been helping develop soft, wearable devices, such as wristbands, rings and gloves, that deliver just the right level of haptic feedback to a wearer in response to contact with an object in virtual or augmented reality.
- Science and creativity went hand in hand at University Hill Elementary School thanks to researchers from the Toney Group and graduate students from the Theatre & Dance Program. The collaborative project taught third graders about STEM subjects through art, music and dance activities.
