For the 2018 Love Your State Day of Giving, mechanical engineering alumnus Loren Snyder is giving back to first-generation students by donating $5,000 to support the college’s First-Generation Scholarship.
The ambitious project involves a high-tech, three-mile-long recycled carbon fiber cable adrift in the open ocean.
Mechanical engineering senior Tom Walker didn’t know what he was getting into when he showed up to an appreciation event for him and his fellow Off-Campus Life student employees on April 10.
Following a series of judged events May 10-22, a winner will be crowned for EcoCAR 3, one of the nation's premier Advanced Vehicle Technology Competitions.
The researchers will continue developing their prototype and prepare it for demonstration at the final phase of the competition at the NASA Glenn Research Center in October.
Students on the Solar-Powered Refrigeration Team are using their mechanical engineering Senior Design project to test solutions that could make refrigeration more affordable and sustainable for developing nations.
Colorado State University’s Energy Institute, in collaboration with two corporations -- Cummins Inc. and Woodward Inc. -- have landed a $1.2-million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop medium, heavy-duty and on-road natural gas engines for the bigger trucks.
Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, the researchers will look at making natural gas engines as efficient as diesel engines in the same class.
Imagine a future where medical results do not take weeks, or require long trips to the doctor’s office, but instead are as easy as purchasing a gift card. New systems engineering professor Steve Simske thinks combining broad skillsets with engineering could potentially lead to a “gift of life” card, which could easily capture bodily samples such as saliva and instantly report medical conditions.
