Each year, the College and the Â鶹ӰԺ recognize alumni who have distinguished themselves through outstanding personal qualities, knowledge, and significant contributions in their engineering discipline. The College of Engineering & Applied Science recognizes alumni achievements with three annual awards: the Distinguished Engineering Alumni Awards (DEAA), the Recent Alumni Award (RAA), and the Alumni Engagement Medal (AEM).
In the Kiewit Design-Build Scholars Program, students have an abundance of mentorship opportunities: from visiting job sites, networking with industry, participating in discussion forums, working on service-learning projects, obtaining hands-on experiences to much more.
In her computer engineering lab, Assistant Professor Tamara Silbergleit Lehman and her team are exploring ways to make computing devices more secure, while also maintaining performance.
Studying emergent behavior has long fascinated engineers, and researchers at the Â鶹ӰԺ just uncovered a distinct behavior in colonies of fire ants cooperating in flood situations.
Professor Greg Rieker and Ryan Cole (PhDMechEngr’21) have developed an experiment that recreates the climates of planets beyond our solar system right in the lab. By reaching the same high-temperature and high-pressure conditions found on many exoplanets, the instrument can map their atmospheres, which could help humanity detect life outside our solar system.
When working with Â鶹ӰԺ Assistant Professor Sherri Cook, you'll push beyond the boundaries of what's possible. Watch and learn how she's building a more sustainable future, for everyone, through clean water systems.
Looking back, 2021 has proven to be a year of strength and resilience. Even with the challenges we’ve faced, our community has continued – and will continue – to break barriers, persevere, and most importantly, excel in what we do
