Happy Holidays from the College of Engineering and Applied Science. See what our students are thankful for in 2019 and what they're looking forward to in 2020. 

A talented group of researchers across the college is creating skins for robots to maximize their local sensing capabilities, improving operational safety and human-robot interaction along the way. 

Senior Morgan Kauss says the #ILookLikeAnEngineer hashtag means you don't have to fit a mold to study or work in the engineering field. Physical appearance and background should be unrelated to intellect and interest in any field of study.

Seniors Bruno Geoly and Niki Duer founded Puppy Pal Prosthetics (PPP) to help canines with disabilities live their lives to the fullest as part of their engineering capstone design course.

Peter Gumble is a mechanical engineering graduate student focusing on spacecraft design and pursuing the Satellite System Design Certificate from the aerospace department. He would like to work for a company developing spacecraft and spacecraft hardware.

On this edition of On Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵE, Jacob Segil, Engineering Plus and Mechanical Engineering instructor speaks about advanced prosthetics capable of "feeling" and Lucy Pao, Department of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering professor speaks about innovation to bring down the cost of wind energy.

PhD student Josh Tacca traveled to Quito, Ecuador last year and saw a need for well-fitting prosthetics for amputees. Tacca worked with the Range of Motion Project (ROMP) to provide prosthetic and orthotic care to people without access to these services.

Thanks to over 50 mechanical engineering alumni volunteers, students were able to engage with alumni over lunch and breakfast, on 12 class panels and during more than 90 mock interviews at ME Alumni Connect Day.

Lieutenant Colonel Brodie Hoyer, a current PhD student shares about military activity on campus, his experiences studying and teaching at West Point and the research he is conducting in the Advanced Medical Technologies Laboratory.

Researchers from RASEI, NIST and CIRES were awarded the 2019 Governer's Award for High-Impact Research for commercializing a dual-comb spectrometer for use in oil and gas fields.
