Wil Srubar is an assistant professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering department at CU. Guided by the tenets of industrial ecology, his team's collective vision is to engineer next-generation infrastructure materials by blurring the boundaries between the built environment and the natural world. Materials of current interest include biodegradable polymers, phase-change materials, recycled aggregate concrete, and natural-fiber composites for green building applications.

For the first time this year, CU Engineering is offering a special on-campus Summer Experience to incoming freshmen living in the Engineering Quad. The Summer Experience allows new first-year students to spend four days and three nights on campus in June to get a first taste of life at CU Engineering.

TeachEngineering is a resource for K-12 teachers.

The Research Support Office will host an overview and Q&A session on the NSF’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. May 24 in the Clark Conference Room (ECAD 109).

The idea for Pana originated at °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ in 2014, when cofounder Devon Tivona and his team were just undergraduates. The company competed as Varsity in °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼’s sixth annual cross-campus, entrepreneurial competition, the New Venture Challenge. Billed as a higher-education social network, Varsity ended up tying for first place at NVC.

Engineering students are fanning out to Brazil, Uganda, Rwanda and Italy this week for the conclusion of a unique type of course that blends classroom instruction with short but significant international experiences. Global Intensives–piloted by °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ for the first time in spring 2018–are short-term global programs embedded into on-campus, faculty-led courses. All include a 10- to 12-day immersion abroad that complements and expands on the material studied throughout the semester.

Research being led by °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ Assistant Professor Orit Peleg is studying social systems in sunflowers through an award from the Human Frontier Science Program.

°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ Assistant Professor Jerome Fox has been selected for the Army-ECASE award to study emergent behavior in biochemical networks.

Research at °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ are trying to understanding how construction plans are read on job sites and then tailoring the information to the individual. Increasing efficiency, reducing costs and – potentially – reducing the risk of an accident.

Six recent graduates in Engineering and Applied Science were commissioned into the United States Navy as brand new ensigns, and all of them will now enter into active duty in various capacities to serve the nation.
