Recruiting Undergraduate Researchers for Several Projects

The humanitarian engineering program is looking for undergraduates to work on several projects:

Multidisicplinary Senior Capstone Design

We are seeking a team of capstone students to switch from the single discipline ME 497 capstone to the pilot multidisciplinary section of ENGR 415 capstone to work on the following project for Winter and Spring 2022. Ideally this team would include mechanical and electrical engineers.

Dr. Larry Winiarski, OSU Alumni and grandfather of clean cooking, passed away at 81

Dr. Larry Winiarski, the Technical Director of Aprovecho Research Center (ARC) and OSU PhD gradauate in mechanical engineering, died this past week at the age of 81. Larry is largely considered the grandfather of the global clean cookstove movement because he developed the ten design principles to optimize heat transfer and combustion efficiency in the "rocket stove" in the 1980s. Since then over 10 million rocket stoves have been made by local projects and inspired countless additional stove designs and projects.

Humanitarian/Development Engineering Master's Programs at UC Berkeley, Colorado School of Mines, and Worcester Polytechnic

For those students who may be considering pursuing graduate studies in a humanitarian or development engineering field, our collaborators at other institutions have recently launched new Master's degree programs. At OSU, students can earn a Master's or PhD in an engineering field (such as mechanical) with a focus on humanitarian engineering that is not transcript-visible. However these programs are official graduate degrees in humanitarian or development engineering. Follow the links to find out more.
