Engineering, Design and Society

The Steel Bridge, Concrete Canoe, Surveying and Sustainable Solutions teams from Colorado School of Mines all punched their tickets to the national finals this past weekend.

Sustainable Energy@Mines (SE@M) is a fully customizable pathway of distinction, combining classroom instruction, co-curricular and extracurricular experiences alongside opportunities for community building that students can integrate with their other academic studies.

Calls for greater corporate social responsibility place new demands on engineers’ everyday work, as Mines associate professor Jessica Smith demonstrates in a new book published by The MIT Press

The Humanitarian Engineering (HE) program at Colorado School of Mines has been awarded a $1.46 million National Science Foundation grant to support the retention and graduation of high-achieving students with demonstrated financial need.

Winning the semester-long design challenge – and the $1,000 grand prize – was a solution for making temporary housing for refugees more durable, sustainable and easily deployable.

In collaboration with colleagues in the United States, China and the Netherlands, Mines Assistant Professor Qin Zhu and Research Assistant Professor Rockwell Clancy are leading a project to study the

Winning the semester-long design challenge – and the $1,000 grand prize – was a solution to improve spatial awareness for hearing impaired cyclists.

Using computer vision, artificial intelligence and radar, the gestr Hazard Notification System not only allows the cyclist to know danger is ahead, but where the danger is coming from.

Charles Shultz ’61 and his wife, Louanne, have provided a generous gift to Mines’ Humanitarian Engineering program to support the program’s continued growth, reach and impact inside and outside the university.

The J. Don ’55 and Lois Thorson Capstone Lab will provide a dedicated space for Capstone Design@Mines projects.
