Â鶹ÊÓƵ

New Â鶹ÊÓƵ research suggests while unvaccinated-only testing policies make sense when the unvaccinated population is large, they have little impact on transmission when there are few remaining unvaccinated people to test.

Studying emergent behavior has long fascinated engineers, and researchers at the Â鶹ÊÓƵ just uncovered a distinct behavior in colonies of fire ants cooperating in flood situations.

Professor Corey Neu explains how his team found that mechanical forces can reorganize the genetic material inside the nucleus of heart cells and affect how they develop and function.

Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering alumnus Will Brown (MechEngr’92) has established the Connie Faye Brown scholarship to benefit mechanical, chemical or electrical engineering students.

Leah Rivera (EnvEngr’'21) is the rare recipient of two awards bestowed by the College of Engineering and Applied Science: the Community Impact Award and the Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI) Award.

We encourage and welcome nominations for the dean of the College of Engineering & Applied Science at CU Boulder. To nominate an outstanding leader for this role, please fill out this form.

New research published in Nature Materials from Associate Professor Tanja Cuk and colleagues sheds light on a fundamental chemical reaction — the breaking apart of water to produce a molecular fuel such as hydrogen. Cuk is faculty in the Department of Chemistry and the Materials Science and Engineering Program (MSE) and is a Fellow in the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI).

Professor Greg Rieker and Ryan Cole (PhDMechEngr’21) have developed an experiment that recreates the climates of planets beyond our solar system right in the lab. By reaching the same high-temperature and high-pressure conditions found on many exoplanets, the instrument can map their atmospheres, which could help humanity detect life outside our solar system.

The final total far exceeded the college’s initial goal of $30,000.

The engineering residential community will be a holistic residential academic experience for all of our first-year students, in partnership with Student Affairs and other campus partners.
