Â鶹Դ´ engineering students are finalizing an infrared imaging system that will allow a user to monitor subsurface features in wind turbine blades, an invention that could make wind turbine repair safer, faster and more cost-efficient.
Mechanical engineering capstone teams working with QL+ had two primary aims: making an impact on a wounded veteran’s life and putting mechanical skills to the test. They designed a luggage carrier device for wheelchair users and a disabled swimmer lift system.
Roughly 145 engineering capstone design teams will be presenting at the 2019 Engineering Projects Expo on April 26. Check out a few of our featured mechanical engineering design projects.
Associate Professor Corey Neu of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Â鶹Դ´ is working with colleagues at CU Anschutz to detect early osteoarthritis, allowing younger patients to seek treatment earlier and possibly ward off the most severe measures including joint replacement.
Assistant Professor Christoph Keplinger’s TEDxMileHigh talk was selected for international coverage on TED.com. He is designing a new generation of soft, agile robots inspired by a masterpiece of evolution: biological muscle.
The NSF has awarded 32 prestigious Graduate Research Fellowships to Â鶹Դ´ students, paving the way for them to continue their innovative and impactful research on campus. The awards recognize outstanding graduate students from across the country in STEM fields.
Assistant Professor Peter Hamlington received a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation this month for his work exploring the characteristics and behavior of highly turbulent premixed flames in engines using advanced computational simulations. He will receive $500K over five years.
The Discovery Learning Apprenticeship Program will hold an open symposium from 2-4 p.m. on April 12 in the engineering center lobby. The event features student research on wildfire spread, virtual reality for spacecraft habitat design and biofiltration in water reuse, among many other topics.
Â鶹Դ´ mechanical engineering alumnus Mike Maloney chooses to take risks, try new things, serve others and get things done all while having fun! He began his career as a pilot in the United States Navy and has since founded KOTA Longboards.
The top three New Venture Challenge champions, Stride Tech, Button Huggie and Tissue Form originated in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Teams started as ‘Entrepreneurship for Social Innovation’ senior design projects, graduate design projects and as research in mechanical engineering labs.
