On March 5, three undergraduate students who are enrolled in the new class Topics in Engineering & Applied Science: STEM Outreach volunteered at Discovery World Girls & STEM, an interactive event that drew 2,000 visitors. “We helped close to 200 …
Chanyeop Park, assistant professor, electrical engineering, has brought to UWM a $1 million research project from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a clean alternative to the world’s most potent greenhouse gas—SF6. As the nation looks to strengthen and …
In February, Brooke Slavens, associate professor, mechanical and biomedical engineering, spoke to CTSI Discovery Radio for their episode “All in the Wrist: MRI & Motion Analysis Research Study.” Slavens and her clinical collaborators at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin …
The National Science Foundation awarded $50,000 to Nathaniel Stern, a UWM professor of mechanical engineering and art & design, in February for an I-Corps project that could enable 5 million small-scale farmers worldwide to participate in the global carbon and …
Chanyeop Park, assistant professor, electrical engineering, has brought to UWM a $172,000 National Science Foundation-funded research study on electronic materials that function while being stretched, bent or compressed. The research could support the development of soft electronic technologies–such as biorobotics …
A truck carrying an over-height load becomes wedged under a concrete bridge, causing debris to fall and leading to a bridge closure. An over-height tractor trailer slams into a train bridge, damaging infrastructure and halting traffic flow for hours. According …
Congratulations to Maddie Frank (’20 Electrical Engineering). In January, Frank—along with Kyle Jansson and JD Lang of UWM’s Prototyping Center—was issued a patent for a novel dust collection system for CNC routers. “UWM provided the opportunity to learn from the …
Brooke Slavens, who has collaborated for several years with students and faculty in UWM’s College of Engineering & Applied Science, has joined the college as an associate professor, mechanical and biomedical engineering. She had been an associate professor in UWM’s …
Joseph Layden had no formal computer science education when he began earning his master’s of computer science degree at UWM. Yet by the time he graduated, he had created an app in his capstone research project called SlippAway—a tool for …
Isaac Gonzalez used software that he learned in his engineering courses at UWM to solve a problem in a manufacturing plant. Work experience like Gonzalez’s is the kind that brought 56 UWM students closer to identifying and starting their careers …
