To increase participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) studies at the college level by tapping into the vast wealth of experience in the United States military, the Lee College of Engineering has won a grant to recruit and work with veterans. The grant adds an engineering specific initiative to UNC Charlotte’s strong collection of veteran services programs.

In his motion study research, Dr. Nigel Zheng has worked with subjects ranging from University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow to the entire New York Mets pitching staff.

With hundreds of billions of neurons and thousands of trillions of synaptic connections between them, the human brain is the most complex system on earth. This complexity makes studying the brain an almost overwhelming challenge with nearly infinite research options.

Offering advanced studies in energy, a new program within the Master of Science in Engineering degree at UNC Charlotte provides non-engineers and engineers alike the chance to further their careers in power and energy.

The reality of the competition was that to win, you had to excel at three tasks. Mechanical engineering student Nicolas Hammann did, and he won, opening up incredible experiences for him across the world. He just couldn’t tell anyone.

The UNC Charlotte Alumni Association recognized eight individuals, including Dhiaa Jamil and Brett Tempest from the Lee College of Engineering, for outstanding contributions to their professions, their communities and the university at a ceremony April 9.

To meet the demand for more engineers in the growing profession of biotechnology, the Lee College of Engineering’s Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science Department has started a new undergraduate Concentration in Biomedical Engineering.

Having assembled a team of fellow UNC Charlotte engineering graduates and other industry experts, Ryan Kennedy founded the company Atom Power, which is making revolutionary advances by creating the world’s first solid-state power distribution system for buildings.

Needing multiple units of an expensive piece of equipment to complete his doctoral project, Mechanical Engineering student Sajad Kafashi decided to invent and build his own. Now, in addition to finishing his Ph.D., he is commercializing his invention, which he calls the Saji Waveform Generator.
