Jason Gross, associate professor and chair of the mechanical and aerospace engineering department at West Virginia University, has been named to the newly elected Class of 2024 Associate Fellows of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
In today’s complex world, the trailblazing fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are crucial. Making advancements in STEM education helps the leaders of tomorrow gain the skills they need to meet the demands of a changing workforce.
When academic institutions across the globe work together, not only do a wide range of diverse projects take shape, but long-lasting relationships are forged and valuable experiences take place.
Future geologists and engineers studying at West Virginia University are using the same advanced software as oil and natural gas professionals thanks to an in-kind gift from Petroleum Experts Limited worth nearly $6.4 million.
Women. Residents from rural or low-income households. Underrepresented minorities. First-generation college students. These are the people undergraduate engineering programs fail to reach, according to a West Virginia University researcher.
Research from West Virginia University mechanical and aerospace engineer Xi Yu could help scientists reach ocean waters hidden away beneath ice shelves. The inaccessible waters under ocean ice contain information critical to understanding the impact of climate change, and Yu said she believes multiple marine robots, carried and coordinated by an intelligent mothership, can reach those depths and communicate what they learn.
Researchers at West Virginia University have taken the first steps toward developing technology that can capture carbon dioxide in the air and use it for eco-friendly manufacturing of methanol. The process they have begun modeling — which involves pulling air from buildings — could increase the sustainable supply of methanol, one of the world’s most extensively used raw materials, while removing a planet-warming greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.
Lian-Shin “Lance” Lin, professor of civil and environmental engineering in the Statler College of Engineering Mineral Resources at West Virginia University, has been named chair of the Wadsworth Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, effective August 14, 2023.
The team of mining engineering students from West Virginia University researched and recommended a plan of action to recover the maximum amount of resources from a full-scale surface and underground limestone deposit, receiving top placement for the fourth time.
Two assistant professors in the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources at West Virginia University have been named J. Wayne and Kathy Richards Faculty Fellows in Engineering.
