Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar

PRESENTATION: Active fluids, and more generally active matter, are out of equilibrium systems emblematic of biological materials, such as a cell interior or a developing multicellular organism. Chemical energy is locally converted into work that can guide their evolution through internal stresses in ways that lead to instabilities and generally rich phenomenology. Means to organize such systems to perform life-like tasks is particularly interesting...

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar

PRESENTATION: Advances in data-driven and learning-based methodologies have enabled unprecedented autonomy in many engineered systems, but intelligent modeling and control of fluid flows have yet to be realized. Motivated by the enormous potential of intelligent interactions between engineered systems and fluid flows across many applications, my research seeks to bridge the gap between data-driven, computational, and experimental fluid mechanics...

Get creative with chemical engineering by making your own shrinky dinks! Make your own design and use it to create your own bracelet or keychain.

Doors open one hour prior to the start of the ceremony. No tickets required.

Unpark Yourself: Bike to Work Week Breakfast

Breakfast burritos, fruit, coffee, and juice will be provided by the Engineering Staff Advisory Council and College of Education. You can also register your bike with Campus Safety and learn about bike safety. 

May 11–17 is Bike to Work Week. We are encouraging those who can, to leave your car at home and use alternative means of commuting to campus, such as biking, public transportation, car-pooling, UI van pool, and walking. Come and learn—all are...
