Former Mechanical Engineering faculty member Jenifer Blacklock has returned to the College of Engineering and Applied Science as the director of the Rady Program at Western Colorado University. She will lead the Western-ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ· Partnership Program.
Novel program emboldens business and engineering students to crack the hi-tech ceiling.
Based on new census data, the college’s new first-year undergraduate class is 1,197 students, a 26.3% increase from fall 2019.Â
This year, an interdisciplinary team of Senior Design students is the first at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ· to enter the Collegiate Wind Competition as a learn-along team. They are working hard to secure a spot for ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ· 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 ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ· 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 ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ·, 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.
