Last month, the Pigman College of Engineering welcomed 280 students from 20 Kentucky high schools for the Transition to Engineering (T2E) Project Kick-off event.
The T2E Project Kick-off is a speed project mentoring event that allows high school students to share project ideas and connect with engineering faculty, alumni and other students across the state participating in the program.
Now in its third year, the T2E program targets high-achieving students with a strong interest in engineering, and applies the college's wildly successful First-Year Engineering (FYE) program at the high school level.
Participating high school seniors must pass their engineering course, complete and design a project they present and make themselves calculus-ready at the college level. If they enroll at UK, they will receive credit for the first two required FYE courses and enter a modified version of the third.
Congrats to two @SEC faculty members on being named 2024 @macfound Fellows! 👏👏

I was happy to visit @Alabama_ECE last week to share my work with the wonderful people there and to represent @UK_ECE and @ukyengineering. There are a lot of similarities between our departments, and I am looking forward to future opportunities to work together.
Dr. Aaron Cramer delivered an outstanding presentation today on Mission-Oriented Power Systems! His insights on metrics, modeling, and optimization captivated our faculty and sparked incredible discussions. Thank you, Dr. Cramer, for sharing your expertise! #Engineering
Xu Jin, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, has received the prestigious @NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award for his innovative methods to make drones safer and smarter.

Congrats to Alexandre Martin, @ukyengineering, for @NASA EPSCoR funding continued research on the hypersonic KRUPS capsule; with this mission (KREPE-3), 7 capsules will be sent to the ISS and re-enter the atmosphere to test novel heat shield materials.

I am very excited to participate in this program representing @universityofky. I have heard wonderful things about ALDP and am looking forward to learning from colleagues at other @SEC institutions.
More than 50 early-career administrators are a part of the newest cohort of @SEC Academic Leadership Development Program fellows.
The SEC ALDP prepares fellows for advancement throughout their academic careers.
