The Marshall Fire spurred CU Boulder researchers to apply their expertise to the aftermath. CEAE Assistant Professor Cresten Mansfeldt, along with other researchers, collected water samples from Coal Creek waterway shortly after the fire; the work has since expanded to monitor the response of bugs and algae living in these waters. CEAE Teaching Professor Matthew Morris, who lost his Superior home in the fire, helped solicit design and construction proposals from builders, providing homeowners with a “short list” of options to select a builder.

The Construction Safety Research Alliance (CSRA) hosted its third annual Safety Summit in 2022, bringing together over 200 construction industry safety professionals from across North America to discover the latest alliance research, share best practices and connect with peers, advocates, and leaders in the field. Research for the CSRA is led by executive director Matthew Hallowell, an associate professor for civil, environmental and architectural engineering.

Using bright green lasers and camera equipment, a team of CU Boulder engineers ran an experiment to reveal how tiny water droplets, invisible to the naked eye, are rapidly ejected into the air when a lid-less, public restroom toilet is flushed. Now published in Scientific Reports, it is the first study to directly visualize the resulting aerosol plume and measure the speed and spread of particles within it.

In an interview with Sinclair Broadcast Group, Kyri Baker, an assistant professor of engineering, said she's not surprised people are starting to understand the vulnerability of the nation's power infrastructure, most of which she said was built above ground to maximize efficiency and accessibility. “People didn’t really think about domestic terrorism being a threat to these substations," Baker said.

Raised in a small rural town with limited exposure to computing, Emma Andreasen has achieved remarkable recognition as the recipient of the 2022 Outstanding Undergraduate of the College of Engineering and Applied Science award.

About 100 students, faculty members and professionals from across the US and Canada attended the fifth annual Engineers in Action (EIA) Bridge Builder Conference, which happened Sept. 16-18, 2022 on the CU Boulder campus.

“Architectural engineers have the opportunity to change the world through mitigating climate change," says Kate MacKeigan, who will move to Hawaii after she graduates in May, having secured a full-time position as a field engineer for Hensel Phelps.
