ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ

When I moved to ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ and started classes, it took me almost three weeks to stop being so excited about college that I wasn't stressed at all. When the novelty began to wear off, I was suddenly hit with a wave of feeling anxious, out-of-place, like I was drifting without...

Brian Jernigan is working to bring science learning to students who can’t come to class in person: young patients in pediatric hospitals. That goal was on display May 17 in Mark Appling’s class at Ryan Elementary School in Lafayette, Colorado. There, third-grader Jaejune Lee played with an unusual toy. A...

Lights flashed, buzzers rang and attendees watched with rapt attention at the home of ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ basketball – but with 143 teams in attendance, this was no basketball game. Welcome to the first ever CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ College of Engineering and Applied Science college-wide Engineering Projects Expo, where hundreds...

During the summer of my sophomore year my dad and I built a 20’x30’x18’ active solar greenhouse which circulates air between two plenums connected by 900 ft of perforated corrugated pipe within a 3000 cubic foot soil heatsink below the greenhouse. The system captures daytime heat and moisture, stores it...

Mechanical Engineering students at the ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ are teaming up with research teams nationwide to develop a ground-breaking brain imaging system for pediatric patients. Centered around the incredible µOPM sensor technology developed by the Knappe Research Lab in the ME department at CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ, a team of six...

Two students working on a cooler device for long term storage of medical supplies following natural disasters. Keats Dormont is making the world a better place through mechanical engineering. The ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ undergraduate student is part of a new senior design course within the Department of Mechanical Engineering...

Propeller-shaped part printed by team for flaw detection using vibrational analysis. In the last several years, 3D printing has taken off as a convenient method to creating plastic parts. It has become a relatively cheap and quick way to rapidly prototype a design concept with potentially complex geometries before taking...

Alex Lubar reads the anemometer measurements while Wilson Hughes flies a drone at CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ South Campus. Domino’s, UPS, Amazon, and the United States military are just a few examples of institutions interested in using drones as automated delivery systems for financial, logistical, and environmental reasons. Drones save on employee...

The National Science Foundation is honoring six current or incoming ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ mechanical engineering students with Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) awards and five students with honorable mentions.

I am a BS/MS student in my fifth year with Dr. Mark Rentschler in his lab the Advanced Medical Technologies Laboratory (AMTL). I started in the AMTL during my Junior year, working on fabricating soft robots. My research in undergrad focused mainly on molding and fabricating different geometries for a...
