How can you keep your indoor air quality healthy if you’re stuck at home amid a global pandemic? Professor Shelly Miller has been tackling questions like these in her Fundamentals of Environmental Engineering class and beyond.

As coronavirus cases mount in Colorado, several dozen 3D printers have roared back to life on the CU Boulder campus. They’re making personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care workers on the frontlines of the crisis.

Professor Shelly Miller of the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering shares her expertise in maintaining healthy indoor air quality as we practice social distancing during the COVID-19 outbreak.

A motion stabilization system designed by capstone design students in 2019 spent nearly two months in operation aboard National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ship, Ronald Brown. Recent tests of the device revealed success.

CU Boulder is continuously updating its information and guidance for the university community to address changing status of COVID-19. This page is intended to provide information about COVID-19 and its impacts to CU Boulder, precautions that are being taken, prevention measures you can take and a compilation of frequently asked questions.

Six startup teams, including two with connections to the mechanical engineering department, will vie for up to $100,000 in prizes at the 12th annual New Venture Challenge (NVC), CU Boulder’s premier entrepreneurial startup competition.

This page is intended to serve as a resource for closures, cancellations and postponements in the College of Engineering and Applied Science related to COVID-19. This page does not address changes happening in other units of campus.

CU Boulder's College of Engineering and Applied Science comes in at No. 14 among public institutions and No. 27 overall for graduate education. The college improved by three places since last year and the mechanical engineering department remains in the top 20.

In this Capstone Design Q&A, capstone design students share about KneeHab4U, a post-surgery cold therapy device that reduces inflammation in the knee, elbow and other affected areas. The device uses air compression for blood circulation and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for a quicker, safer, more comfortable recovery process.

In this Capstone Design Q&A, the BioRhythm capstone design team shares about a technology they designed to increase accuracy when sorting plastics into trash, recycling and compost at concerts, conferences and other large events.
