Iain Boyd leads a $15 million NASA institute called the Advanced Computational Center for Entry System Simulation (ACCESS). This effort investigates new ways to protect spacecraft as they undergo the extremes of entering atmospheres on Earth, Mars and beyond.
Using bright green lasers and camera equipment, a team of CU Boulder engineers ran an experiment to reveal how tiny water droplets, invisible to the naked eye, are rapidly ejected into the air when a lid-less, public restroom toilet is flushed.
Jeffrey Miller struggled his entire life with dyslexia and ADHD, but he worked hard to make his dreams come true. Miller will receive a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering from CU Boulder in December. He's also the recipient of the 2022 Perseverance Award from the College of Engineering and Applied Science.
In partnership with Flatirons Habitat for Humanity, CU Solar Decathlon is looking for volunteers to help construct an innovative affordable home in Boulder.
Researchers from across CU Boulder gathered in the Rustandy Building on Nov. 30 to showcase their work ahead of the Right Here, Right Now United Nations Climate summit on campus.
Looking back, 2022 has proven to be a year of success and resilience for our college and community. Here is a look back at the top stories from the year as we head into winter break and 2023.
While growing up in a small rural town, Emma Andreasen wasn’t exposed to computing. Today she's a teaching assistant for an Intro to Engineering Computing course and recipient of the 2022 Outstanding Undergraduate of the College Award.
The final Entrepreneurial Product Development fall semester project focuses on products that could be used for a children’s Shakespeare theater production.
It wasn’t enough for Benjamin Chilton to study chemical engineering at CU Boulder. While at the university he became a firefighter, a course assistant and student ambassador, as well as studied subjects far outside the breadth of engineering.
Laurel Hind, assistant professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering, and the Hind Research Group use engineering tools to find answers to biological questions that researchers have been looking at for decades with limited success: how the body can best fight infection without attacking healthy tissue.
