We’re SOARin’, flyin’ ✈️

At the Student Organization Applied Research (SOAR) labs, that is! Today marks the launch of this new hub for creativity, hands-on learning and teamwork at Richmond Field Station.

Here’s to kicking off a new era of student innovation!

Let there be light! 💡

“The Strauch Hypercube” lit up the Grimes Engineering Center during our Dean’s Society event tonight.

This installation is a visual representation of the relationship between exploration, innovation and community — and unlike anything else on campus.

A team led by Lining Yao, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, developed an AI-driven framework to optimize and automate the design of complex truss robots!
