Engineering Schools

Dallas entrepreneur and educator Bobby Lyle has designated $10 million to power a new strategic vision for the Lyle School of Engineering at SMU

Researchers have created a silicon carbide photonic integrated chip that can be thermally tuned by applying an electric signal. The approach could be used to create reconfigurable devices such as phase-shifters and tunable optical couplers for networking applications and quantum information processing.

Alexis Abramson, a mechanical engineer and leader in sustainable energy technology, has taken over as dean of Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College

Dr. Heng Pan, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology, has received a boost from the National Science Foundation to support his efforts to create large-scale nanostructures from small nanocrystals

The University of Florida came out on top at the 32nd Annual American Society of Civil Engineers National Concrete Canoe Competition. The school’s team of engineering students and their canoe, Free Floatin’, competed against 23 other teams over three days to win America’s Cup of Civil Engineering.

Deciding how to spend the summer is often a struggle for college students with seemingly endless opportunities. Taylor McCarthy, a junior chemical engineering student at the University of Dayton, could not be happier after choosing the school’s Integrative Science and Engineering Center’s Summer CoRPs Program.
