UI engineering emeritus professor Dr. Jerald L. Schnoor said nitrates create health problems like cancer and a lack of oxygen in children’s blood, known as blue baby syndrome.

Ten students from the UI's Civil and Environmental Engineering Department were in Bloomfield on Monday to share their plans for enhancing the Lake Fisher Recreation Area.

Biomedical engineering students at the University of Iowa don’t just learn theory, they roll up their sleeves to understand tools of medicine by building them.

Internships and co-ops are more than just a line on the résumé for University of Iowa College of Engineering students. They’re career boosters.

Each year, the University of Iowa community is invited to showcase its creativity through Capture Your Research, an image competition where students, faculty, and staff submit a photo that illustrates the essence of their research.

Jonah Marks, a University of Iowa PhD candidate in chemical and biochemical engineering, created a better way for scientists to find "transition states" in chemical reactions that are essential to design new medicines, better catalysts, and advanced materials.

UI engineering professor and hydroscience director Larry Weber said it’s clear that nitrate concentrations have increased in Iowa over the past decades. “Not only should we have the sensors we have, we should have more out there to provide a more uniform network across the entire state,” Weber said.
