Research at CU Boulder are trying to understanding how construction plans are read on job sites and then tailoring the information to the individual. Increasing efficiency, reducing costs and – potentially – reducing the risk of an accident.

Six recent graduates in Engineering and Applied Science were commissioned into the United States Navy as brand new ensigns, and all of them will now enter into active duty in various capacities to serve the nation.

This year, the department organized and coached 12 teams comprising 35 students in the international Mathematical Contest in Modeling. This contest involves 99 hours of intensive mathematical modeling, which is the process of using visual mathematical aids like graphs, scatterplots, diagrams, equations, to represent real-world situations.

The Engineering Center lobby holds fond memories for CU Boulder alumni Ashok Srivastava and Lynn Waelde. The couple met while working on their PhDs – his in electrical engineering, hers in psychology – when a mutual friend directed Waelde to Srivastava for a data analysis problem.

As a master's student and graduate part-time instructor, Shayon Gupta has learned a few secrets to success as a data structures instructor: activities like Kahoot quizzes, live “Ask Me Anything” sessions and physically acting out linked lists, trees and graphs. That, and KitKats.

This week we bid farewell to our #ForeverBuffs, including outstanding graduates like Sarah Withee, who switched careers in her 40s to join Gen Z engineers in the classroom, and Michael Anthony, who learned African dance as a form of cultural preparation for his trip this summer to Eswatini with Engineers in Action. Read their stories and share your own story on social by tagging @cuengineering and #ForeverBuffs.

The Materials Characterization Facility in the Colorado Shared Instrumentation in Nanofabrication and Characterization (COSINC) successfully hosted a focused ion beam (FIB) event in mid-April.

Through his tireless efforts as the leader of several student organizations, Elvin Viloria has promoted architectural engineering on campus and strived to increase opportunities for students. He even resurrected the AEI chapter, which had been dormant since 2010, and grew it to more than 50 members.

Having "tech-y" parents who encouraged his interest in computers led Alex Ray to a degree in computer science and now, a job as a software developer with Amazon.

In addition to his academic accomplishments, Jacob Crawford also completed a minor in business and interned at LogRhythm, Sovrn Holdings and Aquatricity. He also participated in HackCU for three years.
