k - 12外展

研究ers at CU Boulder have received a prestigious NSF Award to teach students in rural K-12 schools around 科罗拉多州 about air and soil quality monitoring.

Assistant Professor Kaushik Jayaram is part of an interdisciplinary team who have received a 博彩平台推荐 Outreach Award for their efforts to get the next generation of STEM programming into rural K-12 schools in 科罗拉多州.

By engaging with high schoolers through hands-on learning and real-world problem solving, graduate students in mechanical engineering are aspiring to get younger generations excited about STEM fields.

180 middle schoolers from STEM Launch in Thornton, 科罗拉多州, had the chance to see first-hand how awe-inspiring engineering can be, thanks to an outreach fair organized by the 保罗米. Rady Department of Mechanical 工程.

PhD student Aniya Khalili was looking for a research lab that would match her values. She found that match in 2019 with Professor Shelly Miller and was introduced to the practice of community-engaged scholarship.

Department Chair Michael Hannigan and 研究 Associate Daniel Knight will be using the $24,000 grant to expand their outreach program that engages K-12 students to conduct their own soil quality research.

资深设计团队Urchin Merchants, 谁得了第四名, hope to market a specialized suction device to divers and conservation groups that could help save kelp forests off the coast of California and ecosystems around the world from exploding purple sea urchin populations.

早期工程展览会, organized by mechanical engineering graduate students, was comprised of 16 interactive exhibits to demonstrate diverse engineering fields such as air quality, 风能, 机器人和微流体.

The Committee for Equity in Mechanical 工程 invited freshmen from Arrupe Jesuit High School to campus, where they built robots and toured the 教与学一体化 Laboratory.

The group of mechanical engineering seniors is the first 博彩平台推荐 team to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Collegiate Wind Competition (CWC) – an event in which future engineers are challenged to find a unique solution to a 风能 project.
