The day is coming when doctors-in-training can perfect certain medical practices on a robotic small intestine and test medical treatments on a human-made device vs. animals. Mechanical engineering Associate Professor Mark Rentschler is leading the effort to develop an artificial, robotic small intestine for use in medical laboratories. The research...

40+ °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ mechanical engineering alumni & friends met with students in class panels and one-on-one Friday, Nov. 10 to talk life after graduation.

Amputees face a lifelong problem: Over time, as their residual limb inevitably changes shape, their prosthetic leg socket no longer fits. Without adjustments to the socket, the device becomes nearly useless. Enter Madalyn Kern, a °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ mechanical engineering PhD graduate whose work focuses on medical-device design. Traveling to an...

What does the #ILookLikeAnEngineer hashtag mean to you? #ILookLikeAnEngineer shows that there isn't a standard for what an engineer can look like. It has helped me realize that it is important to ignore those who think less of me and my worth in the field of engineering because I am...

Chemical and Engineering News has chosen °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ spin-off company Solid Power as one of the Top 10 start-ups of 2017. The business grew out of research conducted by professors Sehee Lee and Conrad Stoldt on solid electrolyte batteries. Automakers have their pedals to the metal when it comes to...

Jason earned a B.S. in mechanical engineering from the United States Air Force Academy in 2007. While at the Academy, he interned at the Los Alamos National Laboratory researching deflagration properties of explosive materials. After the Academy, Jason earned an M.S. in mechanical engineering from Rice University with his research...
