Project Description The TeachEngineering Video Production team is a small group of students who produce educational videos that demonstrate how to perform hands-on STEM activities (with a focus on engineering) for K-12 teachers. These videos provide step-by-step design solutions to engineering challenges by problem solving and cycling through the design...

Project Description This research project aims to study thermal energy transport and conversion at the nanoscale, which is critical to the development of new thermal management and renewable energy technologies with high performance. The DLA student will team with a PhD graduate student and work on both the theoretical and...

Project Description The Center for Infrastructure, Energy and Space Testing (CIEST) houses 3 centrifuges, the largest of which, a 400 g-ton centrifuge, is the 2nd largest in the US. An automatic robotic sand pourer is currently used to prepare geotechnical laboratory and centrifuge models for teaching and research purposes. However,...

Project Description This project focuses on developing and offering a Digital Wellness Summer Program (DWSP) that addresses the negative impacts of smartphones and social media on adolescent females’ psychological well-being. This program takes a novel approach to guiding young people toward developing healthier relationships with smartphones and social media. Rather...

Project Description The Social Justice and Environmental Quality - Denver (SJEQ-D) is a multidisciplinary environmental justice research project aiming to reduce air and noise pollution caused by major construction projects in North Denver, as well as understand the impact of construction on community members' well-being and ability to move around...

Project Description The Bioastronautics Laboratory in the Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences is conducting experiments to explore how humans and autonomous systems can best team up to address the challenges of deep space missions. As part of these experiments, we have developed a computer interface that simulates what remote...

Project Description The Neuromechanics lab combines ideas from neuroscience, economics and biomechanics to understand the costs and rewards underlying movement control. Using modeling, robotic interfaces, and virtual reality, we try to reverse engineer how the brain selects and controls movements. The investigations provide insight into the interplay between the neural...

Project Description Legacy pipelines made of cast iron, wrought iron, and bare steel are responsible for a disproportionate number of gas leaks in the United State’s infrastructure system. Many systems have exceeded their intended design life with increasing vulnerability to failure. The Center for Infrastructure, Energy and Space Testing (CIEST)...

Project Description US natural gas pipeline infrastructure has been serving the nation for decades, providing critical services and resources for energy flow. Many systems have exceeded their intended design life with increasing vulnerability to failure. The Center for Infrastructure, Energy and Space Testing (CIEST) is leading an international project to...

Project Description The Center for Infrastructure, Energy and Space Testing (CIEST) houses a large 400 g-ton centrifuge (the 2nd largest in the US). This centrifuge has recently been upgraded with a shake table so that can input scaled earthquake motions into a scaled model of soil-structure systems. Additional upgrades include...
