A gravity offload rig for testing lunar rovers that can simulate the gravitational conditions on the Moon here on Earth has taken top honors at the Spring 2022 Capstone Design Showcase at Colorado School of Mines.

The prestigious program — the oldest continuous graduate fellowship of its kind — provides three years of support for the graduate education of individuals who have demonstrated potential for significant achievements in the STEM disciplines.

The keynote speaker at the undergraduate ceremonies will be Jesus Salazar ‘01 MS ‘02, chairman of the Mines Board of Trustees and co-founder and CEO of Prosono.

Paul Varosy, a junior majoring in engineering physics at Colorado School of Mines, has been awarded a 2022-23 Goldwater Scholarship, one of the most prestigious STEM scholarships for undergraduate students.

A team of Mines students, working with other college students in the Denver area, have been selected to compete in the 2023 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon.

What started as a Capstone Design project has evolved into Grown@Mines, a University Honors and Scholars Program and campus-wide initiative towards sustainability and more.

Students in the Design for a Globalized World class worked on a seemingly small problem with a big impact on the environment.

At the international competition, teams from the U.S., England and Australia competed head-to-head in seven events inspired by traditional mining techniques: mucking, handsteel, swede saw, trackstand, jack leg, surveying and gold panning.

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.

The Computer Science Professional Program at Colorado School of Mines is designed to help workers in industry set themselves apart. With courses that introduce common programming languages and development structures, graduates of the flexible program leave with a strong understanding of the different ways computer science is used to solve challenges.
