During the summer of my sophomore year my dad and I built a 20’x30’x18’ active solar greenhouse which circulates air between two plenums connected by 900 ft of perforated corrugated pipe within a 3000 cubic foot soil heatsink below the greenhouse. The system captures daytime heat and moisture, stores it...

Two students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science have been awarded the prestigious National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship that will pay for their research and other expenses for the next three years. Paid for by the Department of Defense, the NDSEG fellowship is a grant...

This week, five CU Engineering students will compete against 14 other teams at the Ninth Annual First Nations Launch in Wisconsin sponsored by the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium. The team, led by junior Alyvia Hildebrand (MechEngr’19), first heard about the competition in late September. Bruno Amas (ElEngrCompSci’20), Gabe Funtanilla (MAeroEngr’19),...

Mechanical Engineering students at the °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ are teaming up with research teams nationwide to develop a ground-breaking brain imaging system for pediatric patients. Centered around the incredible µOPM sensor technology developed by the Knappe Research Lab in the ME department at °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼, a team of six...

Baja SAE is a relatively young program on the °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ campus. Now in its third year, the program has built a strong foundation for future teams to stand upon. What do we do? Baja SAE is an annual tournament hosted by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)...

Two students working on a cooler device for long term storage of medical supplies following natural disasters. Keats Dormont is making the world a better place through mechanical engineering. The °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ undergraduate student is part of a new senior design course within the Department of Mechanical Engineering...

Propeller-shaped part printed by team for flaw detection using vibrational analysis. In the last several years, 3D printing has taken off as a convenient method to creating plastic parts. It has become a relatively cheap and quick way to rapidly prototype a design concept with potentially complex geometries before taking...

Alex Lubar reads the anemometer measurements while Wilson Hughes flies a drone at °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ South Campus. Domino’s, UPS, Amazon, and the United States military are just a few examples of institutions interested in using drones as automated delivery systems for financial, logistical, and environmental reasons. Drones save on employee...

°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ teams pitched their businesses before a panel of friendly but intense judges (think Shark Tank but quite a bit nicer), team Specdrums won the grand prize of $75,000 in the 10th annual New Venture Challenge (NVC) championships, held for the first time at the Boulder Theater on April...

The National Science Foundation is honoring six current or incoming °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ mechanical engineering students with Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) awards and five students with honorable mentions.
