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.

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.

Nearly 100 students, faculty members and professionals from across the US and Canada attended the fifth annual Engineers in Action (EIA) Bridge Builder Conference on the CU Boulder campus. The conference connected students and professionals interested in global engineering with EIA staff from Bolivia and Eswantini.

In a banner year that has included receiving five distinguished research awards, Assistant Professor Wyatt Shields has been awarded one of the nation’s largest and most prestigious awards for young investigators: a Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
