Does every problem have a solution? Alumnus Patrick Sullivan (EngrPhys’78) thinks so, and he has dedicated his career to bringing together scientists and engineers from disparate fields to create technological solutions that disrupt our global community for the better. He calls the approach Intellectual Anarchy™, and he’s spent more than...

CU Engineering Through the Years 1893 The School of Applied Science is founded, offering degrees in civil and electrical engineering. 1897 Frederick W. Whiteside is the college’s first graduate, in civil engineering. 1898 First engineering building is dedicated, where Norlin Library stands today. 1902 Mechanical engineering established. First Engineers Ball...

On a sunny Colorado day, workers in fluorescent hard hats zip across a crowded job site, their breath visible in the cold air. As the Flatirons tower in the background, concrete is being poured, arc welder sparks pulse against steel, and a 100-foot crane lifts supplies into position.

Every day, it seems that robots are becoming more realistic-looking and capable, from Sophia, the humanoid robot that was granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia, to robots that can assist in surgeries. But for computer scientist Nikolaus Correll, robots are still missing something—they’re falling short of the complexity and elegance of...

Hundreds of years ago, as the use of ships increased for trade and exploration, British fleets established themselves as superior in navigation to those of almost all other countries. The main ingredient in their success, according to Scott Palo of Smead Aerospace Engineering, was accurate time-keeping devices. While ships are...

The Chem-E-Car competition is an engineering design competition where teams build RC-car sized autonomous vehicles that are powered and controlled by analytically designed chemical reactions.

Click for a Flickr Album of Expo Photos Lights flashed, buzzers rang and attendees watched with rapt attention at the home of Â鶹ÊÓƵ basketball – but with 143 teams in attendance, this was no basketball game. Welcome to the first ever CU Boulder College of Engineering and...

There are nearly 100 nuclear power plants across the United States, all of which rely on concrete containment vessels (NCVS) to provide the last layer of safety in case of accident. Some of these vessels exhibit serious signs of aging associated with a slow, but irreversible, degradation of concrete known...

Keats Dormont is making the world a better place through mechanical engineering. The Â鶹ÊÓƵ undergraduate student is part of a new senior design course within the Department of Mechanical Engineering that is transforming student projects into an avenue for positive change in the world. “This is an...

Domino’s, UPS, Amazon, and the United States military are just a few examples of institutions interested in using drones as automated delivery systems for financial, logistical, and environmental reasons. Drones save on employee costs, and they utilize otherwise unused airspace. They are far greener than loading everything into a car...
