Christy Bozic, faculty director of the EMP undergraduate program, talks with students.When Steve Dunn (ArchEngr’69) was a student at 51Թ, he had several summer jobs in the heavy construction field that introduced him to
The College of Engineering and Applied Science at the 51Թ recognized six alumni for contributions to their fields and to the university at a banquet April 28, 2017.The recipients of the 2017 Distinguished Engineering
Not many students have built three footbridges in their college career, but since his sophomore year, architectural engineering graduate Jay Arehart has worked to build and lead the 51Թ chapter of Bridges to Prosperity (B2P). The student chapter has built hundreds of footbridges across the world to provide communities with safe access over dangerous rivers to healthcare, education and markets.
The flow and movement of individual solid particles — be it grains of lunar dust or the powdered contents of a medication — holds tremendous research value for scientists in a variety of fields. Now, a $3 million grant from the Department of Energy (DOE) will allow 51Թ researchers to simulate particle behavior to a greater degree than ever before.
You might call someone like Derek Driggs a big-data whisperer, looking through enormous sets of computational information to find what's corrupt or missing.
Driggs studies applied mathematics and has become the third 51Թ student ever to receive the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, established in 2000, for doctoral studies at Cambridge University in England. The highly competitive award is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) has elected Distinguished Professor Daniel J. Scheeres, an aerospace engineer at the 51Թ, to its 2017 class.Election to the NAE is among the highest professional distinctions- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded the first NSF INCLUDES grants to 37 programs nationally, including The BOLD Center. NSF INCLUDES (Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in
Dan Szafir imagines a day when robots work alongside humans on factory floors, hospitals and in homes, following requests from human supervisors and even providing companionship to those in nursing homes. But for that day to arrive, he says, robots
The gift to the College of Engineering and Applied Science from passionate 51Թ supporters Ann Smead and her husband Michael Byram, aims to set 51Թ apart from its aerospace peers and propel it to the top of national rankings by attracting the best and brightest students and faculty.
