Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering Department News - April 15, 2022

Upcoming Events

The Engineering Projects Expo is back in-person!

Our graduating students have been hard at work on their Senior Design projects since the fall semester. Join them Friday, April 22, as they demo new inventions and technologies, including: 

  • An interactive model of a city, including an electric vehicle that can charge itself wirelessly and provide power from its own battery to the grid.
  • A small-scale, wearable, mobile device that allows for the collection and interpretation of AQI data for local air conditions.
  • A robotic, speech-activated nurse assistant that automates mundane tasks such as instrument operation troubleshooting, and specimen transfer.
  • An electronic music synthesizer that can be controlled using eye, muscle and breath sensors.

This event is family-friendly and open to the public! Visit the Expo website to learn more.

Blum wins Marinus Smith Award

Teaching Assistant Professor Arielle Blum was nominated by a parent for the award, which recognizes CU Boulder faculty and staff members who have had a particularly positive impact on students. 

“Out of all of his professors, he often speaks about how much he appreciates the way Ms. Blum teaches, and how she encourages and works with students to help them succeed in their studies. As a parent I am grateful, because having such a supportive influence at this point in his education is important in inspiring my son to clarify and move towards his own dreams.” - Carol Anne White, family member of William R. White
