Quentin Sanders is developing a new generation of hand exoskeletons that may help people regain independence after stroke.

Daigo Shishika won the prestigious NSF CAREER Award for his work in robotics.

¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ will launch the Space Forward Frontiers Seminar Series in spring 2026, a one-credit, in-person course developed with Northrop Grumman and the College of Engineering and Computing that is open to students of all majors interested in the space industry.

Researchers are attempting to 3D print inexpensive prosthetic lower limbs for children, allowing them to run and play with their friends.

Keeping his nose to the grindstone is not just how Andrew Hutsell approaches his academic career in engineering—it's how he cut a small slice of fame.  The ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ alumnus recently put his engineering skills to the test on national television, competing in an episode of the History Channel’s Forged in Fire, a competition show that challenges bladesmiths to create weapons under tight deadlines.

Bioinspired blimps performed swimmingly

Through a new solar array at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s Fairfax Campus, the sun will play double-duty in the successful growth of plants. Solar energy will power the President’s Park Greenhouse with the electricity it needs to support the plants growing inside.

With state-of-the-art teaching labs and fabrication facilities, the Life Sciences Engineering Building (LSEB) lets students and faculty get their hands dirty in this brand-new multiuse active learning space. The ribbon cutting didn’t officially happen until March 27, but LSEB already experienced a housewarming.

New research from ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ is making footwear safer in slippery winter conditions.

Mechanical engineering’s Jeffrey Moran continues to prepare an experiment to be carried out on the International Space Station (ISS). Via a powerful microscope in microgravity, the team plans to observe how common atmospheric aerosols move across a temperature gradient, information which would inform climate predictions, geoengineering proposals, and even HVAC applications.
