The emerging field of origami-inspired mechanical metamaterials and structures harnesses the age-old art of paper folding to achieve sophisticated, reconfigurable designs with applications ranging ...
Lectures and readings focus on bridges, railroads, power plants, steamboats, telegraph, highways, automobiles, aircraft, computers, and the microchip. Historical analysis provides a basis for studying ...
Manufacturing complex fluids industrially often involves mechanical forces that introduce internal stress and damage ...
Real science has finally caught up to the science fiction of Iron Man’s transforming exoskeleton suit. In a paper published today in Science Robotics, engineers at Brigham Young University detail new ...
From rockets to robots, power plants to biomechanical parts, mechanical engineers put both energy and machines to work. Wherever there is motion or energy, mechanical engineers have played a role in ...
(Nanowerk News) Imagine intelligent infrastructure that automatically self-assembles, reshapes and repairs itself on demand. Buildings that organically grow new rooms when needed, self-optimizing ...
Mechanical engineers are creative and practical. They are highly skilled innovators who solve complex problems for society. When you study mechanical engineering at Western, you will be challenged to ...
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) — which has been known to fund the development of sci-fi-sounding ideas like flying aircraft carriers or massive streetlights on the Moon — is now ...
Saint Louis University's Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering can prepare you to design aircraft, or explore the universe in aerospace engineering. Or work with all facets of machines ...
