2020 Girls Lead the Way Program
On Saturday, Feb 29, the Electrical Engineering department hosted two workshop for the Girls Lead the Way. Ten Mines students worked with over 45 high school women in a soldering activity they brought home with them. While soldering they learned about basic electrical circuits, LEDs and got a chance to talk to our students about what it is like to be an engineering student.
STEM Scouts Lab at Parmalee Elementary School
On Monday, Jan 13, Electrical Engineering students Paige and Ellie hosted a STEM Scouts Lab at Parmalee Elementary School. Paige and Ellie guided students in soldering LEDs and other parts to printed circuit boards. Everyone had a good time and learned some new skills in electronics fabrication.
Congratulations to Dr. Haupt on his new book
Dr. Haupt’s new book, titled “Wireless Communications Systems,” will be released in January 2020.
Thank you to all who participated in the ice cream social!
The Ice Cream Club hosted a special event with the EE department last Friday, October 4. EE students, faculty, and undecided freshmen enjoyed ice cream and a soldering activity in the CoorsTek Atrium.
Special thanks to Grant Rawls, president of Ice Cream Club, and Professor Coulston who provided the soldering activity.
Inter House Team wins 1st place at 2019 Solar Decathlon Africa!
Inter House is an American-Morrocan Team. Many students from Mines participated including EE graduate Michael Blonsky and undergraduates Christian Amundson, Christopher Burroughs, Ryan Reschak, Linlee Morrison, and Zoe Logan. The team went through 1.5 years in planning and designing, 3 weeks of construction, and 2 weeks of testing and presenting the Inter House to judges in 10 categories: Engineering & Construction, Innovation, Architecture, Market Appeal, Communications & Social Awareness, Home Life & Entertainment, Electrical Energy Balance, Appliances, Sustainability, and Comfort Conditions. Inter House was awarded the highest combined score in all 10 contests. Individual contest results can be viewed on the SDA website.
Thank you to all who participated in Dr. Coulston’s Celebrate Mines event!
Dr. Coulston, Dr. Aaen, and two seniors – Drew Hinkle and Connor Ventura – helped over 30 students solder together “LED flowers,” a Mines designed project that allows a user to make adjustments to the red, green, and blue light output from an LED. Many of the students were learning to solder for the first time.
In 2024, the year of our 150th anniversary, we will celebrate Colorado School of Mines’ past, present and possibilities. By celebrating and supporting the Campaign for MINES@150 you will help elevate Mines to be an accessible, top-of-mind and first-choice for students, faculty, staff, recruiters and other external partners. When you give, you are ensuring Mines becomes even more distinctive and highly sought-after by future students, alumni, industry, and government partners over the next 150 years. We look forward to celebrating Mines’ sesquicentennial with you and recognizing the key role you play in making the MINES@150 vision a reality through your investments of time, talent and treasure.
