#ILookLikeAnEngineer Why did you choose engineering at CU Boulder? I've always liked learning how things work through math and science. I am also passionate about preserving our environment and public health. When I heard I could combine those two interests into environmental engineering, it seemed like the program for me!...

Aaron McCusker (center, in polo shirt) holds high an oversized prize check for Team REPTAR winning first place in the International Student Competition team division. University of Colorado Boulder aerospace senior design Team REPTAR has earned first place in the 2018 American Institute of Aeronautics and Aerospace International Student Competition...

Students enrolled in the partnership programs receive instruction from Colorado Mesa University faculty the first two years and from CU faculty the last two years. All instruction is delivered at CMU.

Deciding to enter the NASA Big Idea Challenge was one of the last things I would have expected to do in the fall 2017. The solicitation came in an email where it was announced NASA was seeking groups of undergraduate and graduate students to submit proposals for the design of...

The team with professor Kyri Baker (center). Wanted: college students to help NASA get to Mars. No prior Martian experience necessary. The space agency is turning to an unlikely resource in its quest to conquer the red planet, and University of Colorado Boulder students are answering the call. It is...

Are you unclear about your career, unsure or undecided about your major? We invite you to attend the Engineer Library on February 2 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the upper floor of the Gemmill Engineering, Math & Physics library, in the Math Building. This is an open-house style event...

#ILookLikeAnEngineer What does the #iLookLikeAnEngineer hashtag mean to you? This campaign is so inspirational to me because it shows me that the true mark of an engineer is hard work, passion, and dedication; engineering isn’t defined by a certain gender or ethnicity. For example, I'm a short blond girl who...

A concept drawing showing stages of the device's descent from subsonic speeds to touchdown and recovery. Our team was a randomly selected group of nine aerospace engineering seniors and one electrical engineering senior at CU Boulder. We named our team REPTAR (Recoverable ProTection After Re-entry). The goal of our project...

The Keplinger Research Group in the College of Engineering and Applied Science has developed a new class of soft, electrically activated devices capable of mimicking the expansion and contraction of natural muscles.

Current robotic materials and prosthetic limbs, while quickly gaining precision and application, are typically made of rigid materials and aren’t the most graceful machines – think C-3PO from "Star Wars." Researchers in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at CU Boulder are working to soften these limbs, and eventually...
