Department of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar

PRESENTATION: High-speed flows are challenging to predict due to their multi-physics nature. Simulations are the tool of choice for predicting the operational capabilities of high-speed vehicles, but ground-test experiments are needed for verification and validation. In particular, non-intrusive off-body measurements of the velocity field in proximity to the vehicle are valuable for comparison to simulations. In this talk I will discuss the...

Join us to celebrate the interdisciplinary work of University of Iowa choreographer and assistant professor of dance Stephanie Miracle, recipient of the 2026 Obermann Interdisciplinary Achievement Award.

Miracle will bring together dance, engineering, and the humanities in a new choreographed work featuring dancers performing alongside robots built by the University of Iowa College of Engineering, with narration by Eric Gidal.

A conversation among Miracle, Gidal, and engineering collaborator Deema...

NewBoCo’s CoderDojo program offers free STEM exploration opportunities for K-5 students in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, and the surrounding areas. Rotating stations include topics such as game design, animation, robotics, engineering, electronics, and coding. New subjects are regularly added, keeping the programming dynamic and engaging for returning participants. Learn more about CoderDojo.
