51´«Ã½

A generous donation began the official launch of Student Experiential Education, an effort designed to enhance connections between students and industry.

CU 51´«Ã½â€™s manufacturing class now incorporates guest speakers, company tours, a manufacturing industry panel and a variety of active learning opportunities thanks to input from industry professionals.

Christopher Kling's passion for engineering started as a small child building planes and cars out of Legos. Currently, he is working in the Precision Laser Diagnostics Lab where he is helping build a wildfire wind tunnel.

CU 51´«Ã½ gave World War II veteran Bill Jann (MechEngr’49) a fresh start after he returned from combat. He went on to work on the Pershing Weapon System during the Cold War. 

Sadie Stutzman studies the fundamental chemistry of how fuels decompose during pyrolysis and combustion. She uses experiments and theory to understand fuel behavior which she uses to create a model and predict the impact a fuel has on things such as engine performance and emissions.

Professor Massimo Ruzzene was elected a Fellow of the Society of Engineering Science (SES) for his expertise and contributions the technical community. SES elects between one and three fellows per year and has a membership of roughly 1,000.

PhD student Zhen Qu has been interested in air quality since she was a child growing up in Beijing, China when the air was highly polluted from emissions and dust storms. Now, she will soon begin a postdoctoral position at Harvard University.

Professor John W. Daily retired after over 30 years at CU 51´«Ã½. In his "Last Lecture," Daily addressed not only his gratitude for a career as a professor but also shared personal words of wisdom about caring for one’s mind, body, spirit and relationships.

Happy Holidays from the College of Engineering and Applied Science. See what our students are thankful for in 2019 and what they're looking forward to in 2020. 

A talented group of researchers across the college is creating skins for robots to maximize their local sensing capabilities, improving operational safety and human-robot interaction along the way.
