Our 2017 Engineering GoldShirt Summer Bridge Program ran from Friday, July 7 through Friday, July 21 and we welcomed 43 new students in Cohort 9!We kicked off the program with an assessment day and a challenge, and a team building course at Gold
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder engineers have revamped a World War II-era process for making magnesium that requires half the energy and produces a fraction of the pollution compared to today’s leading methods.
The breakthrough process, developed in the labs of Professor Alan Weimer, could vastly improve production of the strong, lightweight metal that’s used in everything from vehicles and aircraft to dietary supplements and fireworks.
Since the only guarantee in life is change, William Raseman is using his research to try to prepare water municipalities from being crippled by unforeseen circumstances such as floods, droughts or wildfires.The second-year civil
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder engineers, scientists and students are teaming up with Black Swift Technologies of Boulder to use unmanned aircraft in the coming weeks to measure water moisture at a test irrigation farm in Yuma, Colorado.
Housed within the BOLD Center, the Engineering GoldShirt program is designed to provide a performance-enhancing year for students who would otherwise be underprepared for engineering study.GoldShirt prepares students for success in a traditional
In college athletics, players are often redshirted. They are enrolled but not competing, and that gives them more time to prepare. Tanya Ennis, director of the Engineering GoldShirt Program, says like redshirting, the GoldShirt-ed engineering
Five groups of students graduating from the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ mechanical engineering senior design program are leaving with patents in their name.
"The amount of intellectual property in this program is massive," said program co-instructor Daria Kotys-Schwartz.
<p>A Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ student-built microsatellite is on its way to the International Space Station. The satellite, named ‘Challenger’, had a successful lift off Tuesday, April 18, 2017 at 9:11 AM MDT from Cape Canaveral. It is part of the European Union sponsored QB50 project to deploy a network of miniaturized satellites to study part of Earth’s atmosphere.</p>
Stop by our end-of-year design expos to check out the final design projects from graduating seniors and more! The events are free and open to everyone, though RSVPs are requested for some. April 21: Smead Aerospace 8 a.m. - 4
Not many students have built three footbridges in their college career, but since his sophomore year, architectural engineering graduate Jay Arehart has worked to build and lead the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder chapter of Bridges to Prosperity (B2P). The student chapter has built hundreds of footbridges across the world to provide communities with safe access over dangerous rivers to healthcare, education and markets.
