Flying: From Dream to Takeoff
Like many of her Navy ROTC peers at BU, Denise Miller (ENG'10) has always dreamed of becoming a pilot. Miller comes from a family that bleeds Navy – a sister who’s a 2008 Naval Academy graduate and a surface warfare officer on the [...]carrier USS Ronald Reagan, and parents, now retired, who met as young naval enlistees stationed in Guam. At NAS Pensacola Miller piloted a Cessna, learned which planes use which fuel, how to navigate with a whiz wheel, how to swim through a flaming oil slick, and how to make a life preserver out of her pants.

Getting EPIC Help with Research
Doctoral candidate Tim Jackman (ENG’15) believed knew that the answer to preventing a common back injury—wedge fractures that typically result from heavy lifting—lay in calculating the amount of stress that human vertebrae could [...]withstand. So from his work station at the Orthopaedic and Developmental Biomechanics Laboratory, he reached out to the folks at EPIC.

Societal Engineering in :60
At the end of the day, we believe, it's the responsibility of a university to give students not only a meaningful education, but a meaningful life. And BU's College of Engineering (ENG) has been forging the path.
"The concept of a 'societal [...]engineer' is so unique it's been trademarked by the US Patent Office," says Engineering Dean Kenneth Lutchen.

Three Steps to a Better World: Cleaner Oil Discovery
Supported by a Lutchen Fellowship undergraduate research grant, Samir Ahmed, an electrical engineering major, is developing a novel, durable nano-scale pressure sensing device that will help geologists find oil deposits. Ahmed’s sensors are a [...]hundred times smaller than a grain of sand and consist of a silicon wafer and small cylindrical chambers with membranes made of graphene, a carbon material that is only one atom thick, and has very strange mechanical and electrical properties. The sensors may someday measure pressure in underground rock structures to provide valuable information for oil extraction.

Three Steps to a Better World: A Living Patch
One percent of newborns are born with congenital heart defects, whose repair usually requires multiple surgeries. That’s because the synthetic materials used in the repair of the defects fail as a result of calcification, infection, or [...]thrombosis, and are not capable of growing with the child. Andrew Schiff (ENG’12), a Lutchen Fellow, would like to make a better patch, one made of Mesenchymal Stem Cells MSCs (MSCs) and Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) taken from the child. A living patch made from the child’s cells would minimize the risk of infection and would grow with the child’s body. This lab has been able to succesfully pattern our MSCs in an aligned fashion, using the Microcontact Printing Technique.
