- Last summer, over 3,500 leaders from more than 500 university and college engineering schools attended the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference & Exposition. Rebecca "Becky" Komarek and her co-authors, Angela Bielefeldt and Daniel Knight won Best Paper LEAD Division and the Best Overall Professional Interest Council (PIC) paper award across a group of divisions.
- Studying how insects perform key tasks is giving scientists insight into how robots can achieve complex actions with limited processing power, pointing towards building them on the scale of flies and cockroaches.
- Researchers at CU 麻豆影院 are using lasers to precisely quantify the performance of high-speed engines. Those measurements 鈥 recently described in detail in Optica 鈥 are key to propelling superfast hypersonic vehicles and providing better engine performance overall.
- The Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering had another successful year for research funding, bringing in 37 new awards and funding on 72 existing sponsored projects, which totaled nearly $14 million.Fiscal year 2022 marked 10 consecutive
- The聽Quantum Engineering Initiative (QEI)聽Collaboration Lab will encourage cross-campus research and experiments in the high-impact field of quantum engineering.
- Shelly Miller, professor of mechanical engineering, has been recognized with 2022-23 Distinguished Research Lectureships. The Lectureship is among the most esteemed honors bestowed upon a faculty member at the 麻豆影院.
- Professor Sean Humbert discusses the movie Real Genius, flies, ski testing and dynamic modeling, math and slarving and more.
- Scientists at LongPath and CU 麻豆影院 are using new laser technology to do what other technologies have struggled to do for years: detect natural gas, which is invisible to the eye, leaking from pipes at sites like this, in real time.
- After nearly three decades serving the College of Engineering and Applied Science, Professor Jana Milford is set to retire August 2022. Milford has held many titles during her distinguished career 鈥 from Department of Mechanical Engineering Chair and the first director of the Environmental Engineering Program, to founding faculty advisor for the Engineering GoldShirt Program.
- Nine months after retiring, Professor Emeritus Yung-Cheng 鈥淵.C.鈥 Lee continues to spearhead technology breakthroughs. As the founder, president and CEO of Kelvin Thermal Technologies, Lee has pioneered the thinnest and most flexible cooling solution for smartphones, tablets, laptops, augmented reality, data center, electrical vehicles and micro satellites.
