Message from the Dean 2024

Dear CU Engineering community,As we close out another year and celebrate the class of 2024, I am filled with gratitude. Our students, faculty, staff and alumni create a remarkable, innovative community. I am more optimistic than ever for our future, and that’s why we are calling this edition of CU Engineering magazine “New Frontiers.”The theme came to us in the fall, when we had the honor of hosting the National Academy of Engineering’s Grainger Foundation Frontiers of Engineering Symposium. This prestigiou...

CU Engineering News 2024

Frontiers of Engineering comes to BoulderCU Boulder hosted the National Academy of Engineering’s Grainger Foundation Frontiers of Engineering Symposium in September. The prestigious annual event brought together around 100 early-career engineers to discuss cutting-edge developments in resilience and security in the information ecosystem; engineered quantum systems; complex systems in the context of health care; and mining and mineral resource production. Kate Starbird (PhDTechMedSoc’12), now a faculty membe...

Research Briefs 2024

Shape-shifting display adds touch to digital worldIn a new study, a team of mechanical engineering and materials science researchers have created a one-of-a-kind shape-shifting display that fits on a card table. The device is made from a grid of soft robotic “muscles” that can sense outside pressure and pop up to create patterns.It’s precise enough to generate scrolling text and fast enough to shake a chemistry beaker filled with fluid. It may also deliver something even rarer: the sense of touch in a digit...
