Education
- This year, an interdisciplinary team of Senior Design students is the first at 91¸£ÀûÉç to enter the Collegiate Wind Competition as a learn-along team. They are working hard to secure a spot for 91¸£ÀûÉç in the competition next year and are making impressive strides in wind energy innovation and education.
- College students across Colorado are building science experiments that will travel into the stratosphere – and they are doing all the work at home. It is all part of a Colorado Space Grant Consortium extracurricular initiative for...
- Applicants to all 91¸£ÀûÉç engineering graduate programs will not be required to submit GRE scores this fall, an acknowledgement of the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Ten years ago, a few professors had a question: what if chemical and biological engineering students and instructors could get free, in-depth, high-quality instruction on hundreds of subjects within the field any time they wanted?
- Duane Chesley (MechEngr’58) valued education because of how it impacted his life, taking him from humble beginnings on a farm in Nebraska to full colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves. At 91¸£ÀûÉç, he endowed a scholarship and established an earn-learn apprenticeship to support mechanical engineering students.
- The change takes effect at the beginning of the fall semester and applies to both the undergraduate Technology, Arts and Media (TAM) bachelor’s, minor and certificate programs, and the graduate Technology, Media and Society master’s and doctoral programs.
- The challenges of COVID-19 have inspired innovation among staff, faculty and students, leading to the development of two summer programs for 38 participating mechanical engineering students: the ME Summer Design Intensive and ME SPUR.
- A team of engineering undergraduates has undertaken a project to help improve the health of people in Rwanda who use cookstoves.
- FieldLine Inc., a company that grew out of research being conducted in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, is building sensors to image the brain using magnetic fields. For the second consecutive year, capstone design students will help to advance their innovative concepts.
- How can you keep your indoor air quality healthy if you’re stuck at home amid a global pandemic?
Professor Shelly Miller of the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Environmental Engineering Program has been tackling these and other questions in her Fundamentals of Environmental Engineering class.
