Sean Humbert, professor in mechanical engineering and director of the Robotics graduate program, chats with CBS News Colorado about some of the technology him and his students are working on at 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Boulder. One of their builds is a robot that the Boulder County Sheriff's Office uses to support their bomb squad team.
The Paul M. Ray Department of Mechanical Engineering has launched a new research area in design. The new focus area, geared toward PhD students, involves the study of the design process and how various contexts (environmental, psychological, political, etc.) affect the artifacts that today’s engineers aim to create.
Greg Rieker, associate professor of mechanical engineering and co-founder of LongPath Technologies, gathered with others on the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Boulder campus to celebrate a $162.4 million loan package from the U.S. Department of Energy. The loan will help Rieker and LongPath expand methane detection using laser-based quantum devices that scan the atmosphere in real time.
