The Keplinger Research Group in the College of Engineering and Applied Science has developed a new class of soft, electrically activated devices capable of mimicking the expansion and contraction of natural muscles.

Current robotic materials and prosthetic limbs, while quickly gaining precision and application, are typically made of rigid materials and aren’t the most graceful machines – think C-3PO from "Star Wars." Researchers in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at CU Boulder are working to soften these limbs, and eventually...

#ILookLikeAnEngineer What does the #ILookLikeAnEngineer hashtag mean to you? It means that engineers don't have a certain appearance. We can come in every race, ethnicity, gender, and everything else that makes us unique. What are three things that make you unique? I'm the first engineer in my family. I'm half...

Last month we kicked off the first Dean's Speaker Series with John Holdren, President Obama's science and technology advisor for eight years. As part of the speaker series, we also celebrated 15 years since the founding of Engineers Without Borders here at CU, which is now a worldwide organization with tens of thousands of members. For this On CUE podcast, I got the opportunity to sit down and chat with Dr. Holdren about that, as well as the past, present and future of science and technology policy. I hope you enjoy it.

The CubeSat mission houses a small, energetic particle telescope to measure the flux of solar energetic protons and Earth’s radiation belt electrons. Launched in 2012, it has involved more than 65 CU Boulder students, including many from Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences.

Dear CU Engineering community: As I wrote last week , it is time to address climate issues around sexual discrimination, harassment and misconduct in our community. On Friday, we started a conversation on this important topic. In collaboration with the Office of Institutional Equity & Compliance, we held a forum...
