Armed with a 3D concrete printer, careful measuring tools, and just the right ingredients, a team at The University of New Mexico has worked hard to design the construction building blocks of the future. Now, their bendable concrete material design is officially patented.
Five faculty members in The University of New Mexico School of Engineering (SoE) have received National Science Foundation CAREER Awards in what is believed to be a single-year record for the school.
NSF CAREERs provide five years of sustained funding to pre-tenure faculty for deep exploration into a promising research topic likely to advance scientific knowledge.
SoE’s five recipients this year are:
The University of New Mexico Solar Splash team placed 3rd at the UPS Battery Center Solar Splash competition held in Springfield, Ohio over the weekend.
UNM Solar Splash is one of the senior design capstone project options for Mechanical Engineering students, with students from other engineering majors often participating to assist with the boat’s electrical systems. Students spend the academic year leading up to the competition designing and constructing a solar-powered boat. Participants include universities from around the U.S. and abroad.
New research led by a graduating Ph.D. student in The University of New Mexico Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has shown that randomization can improve quantum computer performance in the presence of noise.
Ph.D. student Leeseok Kim led the research under the advisement of Assistant Professor Milad Marvian, with support from Changhao Yi, a former member of Marvian’s group. Their findings, titled “Faster Randomized Dynamical Decoupling,” were published in the journal Physical Review Letters and presen…
The Engineering Student Success Center offers students holistic, wraparound support through every stage of their educational journey. Providing everything from tours and summer programs to scholarships and tutoring, ESS is a great first stop for anyone interested in studying at the School of Engineering.
The School of Engineering has ambitious plans to enhance student support structures, develop faculty and staff, build a culture of inclusive excellence, grow research and innovation, expand partnerships and more. Our strategic plan provides a roadmap for how we will achieve these goals in the coming years.
