ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ

The future of engineering at CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ is one of inclusivity, diversity, and resilience. Since our first female graduate in 1903, our women students and faculty have stood on the cutting edge of research and innovation. We celebrate our past excellence throughout Women's History Month while also striving to build...

Studying emergent behavior has long fascinated engineers, and researchers at the ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ just uncovered a distinct behavior in colonies of fire ants cooperating in flood situations.

In case you missed it, watch the Dec. 16 ceremony from inside Macky Auditorium and view photos of the in-person event. Congratulations to all of the fall 2021 ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Engineering graduates!

Professor Greg Rieker and Ryan Cole (PhDMechEngr’21) have developed an experiment that recreates the climates of planets beyond our solar system right in the lab. By reaching the same high-temperature and high-pressure conditions found on many exoplanets, the instrument can map their atmospheres, which could help humanity detect life outside our solar system.

ME faculty members are featured in the ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ's new documentary titled "The Road Back: CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ’s Response to COVID-19."

Mechanical Engineering professors teamed up with the Department of Veterans Affairs to use glucose from our body to power small medical devices.

Assistant Professor Marina Vance uses her passion for drawing to educate and inspire by creating animated science videos that share her research in aerosol particle transformation in easily accessible ways. As a recent NSF CAREER Award recipient, Vance will continue her research at the ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ while sharing her work beyond academic circles through a new partnership with CU Science Discovery.

Inspired by the natural world, Kaushik Jayaram heads up the Animal Inspired Movement and Robotics Laboratory (AIM-RL) at CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ. The group aims to develop robotic devices that benefit and enhance human capabilities in the areas of search and rescue, inspection and maintenance, personal assistance, and environmental monitoring.
