Spring 2020
Students within the College of Engineering and Applied Science will take their first courses in the new Biomedical Engineering degree program this fall. With it, undergrad and graduate students will take classes from across the university in engineering, biology and mathematics, learning from some of the best in the country along the way. The degrees are the first of their kind in the CU system, and no other university in the state offers a stand-alone undergraduate degree in the field.
In this episodeÌýof On CUE new Interim Dean Keith Molenaar outlines his priorities for the future of our college, including maintaining consistency with the goals, vision and culture that Bobby Braun put in place during his tenure here over the last three years. He also talks about his priorities for the future of the college and how he feels about stepping into the new role. Although this job is new, Moleenar is far from being new to CU Â鶹ӰԺ. He completed all three of his degrees here and has held several faculty and administrative roles in the past.
°Õ³ó±ðÌýAnti-Microbial Resistance Mediation Outreach Program, also known asÌýARMOR,ÌýisÌýa graduate student led international effort to develop public awareness of and research into the threat of widespread anti-microbial resistance (AMR). The dedicated effort is being ledÌýout of the labs ofÌýprofessors Anushree Chatterjee and Prashant Nagpal right here on campus and in collaboration withÌý.ÌýOn this episode of On CUE, we sit down with the team and discuss the global threat AMR poses, the origins of the ARMOR program and steps the team has taken to shed a light on an unseen issue.Ìý
Season 3 - Fall 2019
This episode of On CUE spotlights a brand new initiative in the college for student professional development; ProReady. Senior Director of Student Professional Development Ben Weihrauch walks us through how the idea came about, what it will provideÌýfor students and how anybody can get involved.
On this edition of On CUE, we're looking at two research projects that are college that could be transformational at both the individual and global levels. First we speak to Jacob Segil about his quest to return the sensation of touch to amputees via smart prosthetics. Lucy Pao also joins the show to speak to us about her work on reveloutionary wind turbines which could drastically reduce the cost of wind energy.Ìý
In this Veteran's Day special, Lieutenant Colonel BrodieÌýHoyerÌýsteps out of the lab and into the On CUE recording booth. We cover everything from military activity on campus, his experiences both studying and teaching engineering at West Point and the researchÌýhe is currently conducting in theÌýAdvanced Medical Technologies LaboratoryÌýunder the guidance of doctorÌýMark Rentschler.Ìý
Season 2
Professor Eric Frew joins On CUE to talk all all aboutÌýProject TORUS: a two-year partnership between CU Â鶹ӰԺ, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Texas Tech University, the University of Oklahoma and the National Severe Storms Laboratory. The goal is to collect data to improve the conceptual model of supercell thunderstormsÌýto help with future forecasting and warning.
Professor Srubar steps into the On CUE recording studio to tell us about the magic happening in his lab.ÌýGuided 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.Ìý
In this episode, we talk to Associate Professor Evan Thomas about his position as Mortenson Center director. The Mortenson Center was established by Engineering Professor Bernard Amadei, with a generous endowment from Alice and Mort Mortenson. He has a long history with the College of Engineering and Applied Science stretching back to 2001 when he began his undergraduate degree in aerospace engineering.
Season 1
On CUE sits down with Dana Stamo. Dana is a fifth year chemical biological engineering student who is currently taking graduate classes and doing research with Professor Chatterjee. Dana is a recipient of the Chancellor's scholarship and a BOLD scholarship from the College of Engineering and Applied Science.
