The CubeSat mission houses a small, energetic particle telescope to measure the flux of solar energetic protons and Earth’s radiation belt electrons. Launched in 2012, it has involved more than 65 CU Boulder students, including many from Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences.

Tell us about what you're involved in at BOLD. What do you love about it? Last Spring, my friends and peers elected me to be their Vice President of oSTEM. The CU Boulder chapter of oSTEM has only been around since Fall 2016, and just this semester it has more...

Tell us about what you're involved in at BOLD. What do you love about it? I was part of Aspire 2015. As well as I was a GoldShirt student assistant for year 2015-2016. Now I am a Co-President for National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). I love having the feel...

The device, called the Vee Vee, interprets the direction of the eye movement and sends an instruction to an external machine that’s paired with the wearable device.

The Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers National Conference was held from October 13th - October 15th in Schaumburg, Illinois. The national conference was a professional event that consisted of various workshops covering topics from leadership to technical skills such as programming. The last day of the conference consisted of...

Few people figure out how they want to change the world in middle school. But in eighth grade, Peter “Max” Armstrong -- now a third-year mechanical engineering major -- did just that.

Our 2017 Engineering GoldShirt Summer Bridge Program ran from Friday, July 7 through Friday, July 21 and we welcomed 43 new students in Cohort 9! We kicked off the program with an assessment day and a challenge, and a team building course at Gold Hill Ranch. For some of the...

CU Boulder engineers have revamped a World War II-era process for making magnesium that requires half the energy and produces a fraction of the pollution compared to today’s leading methods. The breakthrough process, developed in the labs of Professor Alan Weimer, could vastly improve production of the strong, lightweight metal that’s used in everything from vehicles and aircraft to dietary supplements and fireworks.

Since the only guarantee in life is change, William Raseman is using his research to try to prepare water municipalities from being crippled by unforeseen circumstances such as floods, droughts or wildfires. The second-year civil engineering PhD student is building software programming to assess the impact of climate and environmental...

CU Boulder engineers, scientists and students are teaming up with Black Swift Technologies of Boulder to use unmanned aircraft in the coming weeks to measure water moisture at a test irrigation farm in Yuma, Colorado.
