Outreach
The Early Engineering Exposure Fair, organized by mechanical engineering graduate students, was comprised of 16 interactive exhibits to demonstrate diverse engineering fields such as air quality, wind energy, robotics and microfluids.
The Committee for Equity in Mechanical Engineering invited freshmen from Arrupe Jesuit High School to campus, where they built robots and toured the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory.
The group of mechanical engineering seniors is the first University of Colorado 51´«Ã½ team to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Collegiate Wind Competition (CWC) – an event in which future engineers are challenged to find a unique solution to a wind energy project.
Elle Sandifer is a 2020 graduate of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. After graduation, she worked as a process engineer with Sanergy to address urban sanitation challenges in Nairobi, Kenya.
Will Edgar, the first recipient of the CU Mechanical Engineering Student/Tuck Bridge Scholarship, has always had a knack for mechanical engineering. It is now complemented by a solid understanding of business thanks to the generosity of a fellow Buff.
ME faculty members are featured in the University of Colorado 51´«Ã½'s new documentary titled "The Road Back: CU 51´«Ã½â€™s Response to COVID-19."
It’s hard to imagine a teenager who could resist exploring mechanical engineering after learning about Endoculus, the small device developed by CU 51´«Ã½ Professor Mark Rentschler and student researchers in his lab that can navigate the human gastrointestinal system with ease and may someday help doctors care for their patients.
Emily Zuetell is an undergraduate student in mechanical engineering.  She was the president of CU’s student chapter of Engineers Without Borders and has been a member of the organization for over three years.
This year, an interdisciplinary team of Senior Design students is the first at CU 51´«Ã½ to enter the Collegiate Wind Competition as a learn-along team. They are working hard to secure a spot for CU 51´«Ã½ in the competition next year and are making impressive strides in wind energy innovation and education.
Diseases of the blood, like sickle cell disease, have traditionally taken a full day, tedious lab work and expensive equipment to diagnose, but researchers across disciplines have developed a way to diagnose these conditions with greater precision in only one minute.
