The Discovery Learning Apprenticeship Program will hold an open symposium from 2-4 p.m. on April 12 in the engineering center lobby. The event features student research on wildfire spread, virtual reality for spacecraft habitat design and biofiltration in water reuse, among many other topics.

CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø mechanical engineering alumnus Mike Maloney chooses to take risks, try new things, serve others and get things done all while having fun! He began his career as a pilot in the United States Navy and has since founded KOTA Longboards.

The top three New Venture Challenge champions, Stride Tech, Button Huggie and Tissue Form originated in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Teams started as ‘Entrepreneurship for Social Innovation’ senior design projects, graduate design projects and as research in mechanical engineering labs.

A new high-resolution X-ray microtomography imaging system designed by Wil Srubar, Virginia Ferguson, Mija Hubler, Robert McLeod and Stephanie Bryant will enhance research, not only in engineering, but in the fields of archaeology, geology and medicine across campus and the Rocky Mountain region.

The 2019 CU Engineering Projects Expo will showcase hands-on engineering capstone design projects of over 130 teams on April 26. Engineering seniors and graduate students are sponsored by industry partners, CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø faculty members or have developed their own entrepreneurial ideas.

Mechanical engineering students won first, second and third place at the New Venture Challenge championships. Stride Tech, a capstone design team took home $100,000. Button Huggie, a graduate design team took home $45,000. TissueForm took home $12,500.

Engineering students and faculty can hear from experts in the field of autonomy and artificial intelligence during the Conference on World Affairs April 9-13 on the CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø campus. This premier forum for discussion attracts a diverse group of experts from around the world.

When high school students from rural Colorado research air quality as it relates to the things that interest them most, the result is enthusiastic students and one-of-a-kind projects. CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s Air Quality Inquiry project, supported by a CU Â鶹¹ÙÍø Outreach Award, pairs students with undergraduate mentors.

Department of Mechanical Engineering faculty and students had great showing at the 11th U.S. National Combustion Meeting. Faculty members were honored with awards, gave two of the three flagship plenary lectures, took on new board memberships and led three critical combustion events.

Outdoor air has been regulated for decades, but emissions from daily domestic activities may be more dangerous than anyone imagined. Assistant Professor Nina Vance was featured in the New Yorker for her HomeChem indoor air quality research.
