Five groups of students graduating from the °µÍø½ûÇø mechanical engineering senior design program are leaving with patents in their name.
"The amount of intellectual property in this program is massive," said program co-instructor Daria Kotys-Schwartz.
<p>A °µÍø½ûÇø student-built microsatellite is on its way to the International Space Station. The satellite, named ‘Challenger’, had a successful lift off Tuesday, April 18, 2017 at 9:11 AM MDT from Cape Canaveral. It is part of the European Union sponsored QB50 project to deploy a network of miniaturized satellites to study part of Earth’s atmosphere.</p>
Stop by our end-of-year design expos to check out the final design projects from graduating seniors and more! The events are free and open to everyone, though RSVPs are requested for some. April 21: Smead Aerospace 8 a.m. - 4
Not many students have built three footbridges in their college career, but since his sophomore year, architectural engineering graduate Jay Arehart has worked to build and lead the CU Boulder chapter of Bridges to Prosperity (B2P). The student chapter has built hundreds of footbridges across the world to provide communities with safe access over dangerous rivers to healthcare, education and markets.
When David Pfotenhauer decided to pursue a PhD at CU Boulder, he knew that he wanted to specialize in an application-based science that would allow him get out into communities and use his knowledge to address public issues.
As a current doctoral student in Mechanical Engineering, David joined CU Engage's 2016-17 cohort of Community-Based Research (CBR) Graduate Fellows. He became the newest member of an ongoing research project, a collaboration between CU Boulder and the Denver-based organization Taking Neighborhood Health to Heart (TNH2H). He began working to further the research that his colleague, CU Boulder CBR Fellow (2015-16) and Civil Engineering doctoral student Ashley Collier, had begun the year before in response to community concerns about air quality, contaminants and environmental health. David’s role in the project is to investigate air quality and radon levels in northeast Denver, one of the areas in which TNH2H members live.
You might call someone like Derek Driggs a big-data whisperer, looking through enormous sets of computational information to find what's corrupt or missing.
Driggs studies applied mathematics and has become the third CU Boulder student ever to receive the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, established in 2000, for doctoral studies at Cambridge University in England. The highly competitive award is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
On January 20, The BOLD Center co-sponsored a special viewing of the movie Hidden Figures for students. Initial demand was so large, a second theater was added. All in all, more than 400 students, faculty, staff, and alumni attended the event, which
Recent graduate Clare Wise has won the Pac-12 Leadership Award and a $3,000 postgraduate scholarship.Wise, who graduated in spring 2016 with a degree in chemical engineering, also was a member of the CU Boulder alpine ski team
This year's Summer Bridge experience for the GoldShirt program was our largest to date! Fifty new GoldShirt students participated in the two-week Summer Bridge this year. The program, July 8th to the 22nd, included a packed schedule of
