- The team, which included mechanical engineering student Hannah Livingston, developed a large solar PV system.
- The National Science Foundation has awarded six prestigious Graduate Research Fellowships to University of Colorado Boulder mechanical engineering students, a signal of the innovative and impactful research they will perform in the years ahead.
- The awards recognize ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ· faculty for their role mentoring undergraduate research and creative projects.
- Senior design team solving problems to aid public health
- It’s hard to imagine a teenager who could resist exploring mechanical engineering after learning about Endoculus, the small device developed by ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ· Professor Mark Rentschler and student researchers in his lab that can navigate the human gastrointestinal system with ease and may someday help doctors care for their patients.
- 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.
- Noah Gilsdorf is a double-degree student at the University of Colorado Boulder working toward a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering and a bachelor of music in jazz studies.
- 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.
- Chad Ronish shares about his experience designing a robot, controlled wirelessly through radio frequency, with the support of both peer and industry mentors to help him figure out things like the electronics and coding during participation in the ME Summer Design Intensive.
- Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering is committed to providing students with an education complete with active learning. Though the pandemic has made the semester more challenging, faculty and staff have been daily innovating to make their courses as hands-on as possible.
