As scientists continue exploring how the virus is transmitted through airborne particles, Mike Scofield is among the engineers looking for ways to address public health concerns inherent in our built environment. He is particularly interested in the role that humidity plays in the spread of illness – and in promoting HVAC systems that can keep buildings in the moisture “sweet spot.”

Growing up, John Mollenkopf (MechEngr'83) spent most of his free time tinkering. That natural curiosity for understanding how things work — and how to build something from nothing — helped propel Mollenkopf to success throughout his career as an engineer and executive in oil and gas.

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 ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ, he endowed a scholarship and established an earn-learn apprenticeship to support mechanical engineering students.

Artimus Robotics, a spinout company of ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ’s Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, recently received $225,000 through the National Science Foundation’s Small Business Innovation Research Phase I program.

During February and March, over 250 mechanical engineering students trekked across the Front Range to tour one of 17 different companies. The tour series was a collaboration between Design Your Career and Instructor Janet Tsai’s manufacturing class.

ME alumna Ruhan Yang, who is now pursuing a Creative Technology and Design master's degree with ATLAS Institute won first place for her team's e-Trombone at Georgia Tech's annual Moog Hackathon.
