The University of Georgia College of Engineering

The University of Georgia College of Engineering Learning. Discovery. Innovation. Committed to a new generation of engineers. Since our founding in 2012, enrollment has grown to more than 2,500 students.

Founded in 1785, the University of Georgia is the nation’s first state chartered university and the birthplace of American public higher education. The College of Engineering is proud to be a part of UGA’s distinguished heritage as well as a dynamic part of the University’s future. ENGINEERING + LIBERAL ARTS

The College of Engineering is one of the fastest growing programs at UGA and one of the f

astest growing public colleges of engineering in the nation. Students and faculty alike are attracted to our setting in a comprehensive, land-grant, research institution that’s consistently ranked among the 20 best public universities in the nation. INNOVATION + DISCOVERY

Built around a model that transcends traditional academic boundaries, the College offers eight undergraduate and seven graduate degree programs. Our research is centered in three Innovation and Discovery Clusters that bring together faculty and students from a wide variety of disciplines. Experiential learning – co-ops, internships, study abroad and undergraduate research – means graduates aren’t simply prepared for the workplace, they’re prepared to lead.

Congratulations to The University of Georgia College of Engineering professor Kyle Johnsen, who received the 2026 Innovation Award from Georgia Life Sciences, the state’s largest life sciences advocacy and business leadership organization, at the 2026 Golden Helix awards. Go Dawgs!

Johnsen helped develop Targeted Brain Rehabilitation (TBR), a gaze-controlled virtual reality (VR) therapy designed to treat phantom limb pain in amputees. The technology guides patients through four progressive phases, moving from simple hand recognition to guided meditation, mirror therapy, and finally a VR simulation that projects an intact limb the amputee can manipulate.

You may have seen VR headsets before, but did you know they could be used for therapy and pain relief?

Professor Kyle Johnsen helped develop Targeted Brain Rehabilitation (TBR), a gaze-controlled virtual reality therapy designed to treat phantom limb pain in amputees.

The technology guides patients through four progressive phases, moving from simple hand recognition to guided meditation, mirror therapy, and finally a VR simulation that projects an intact limb the amputee can manipulate, reducing pain signals associated with the loss.

It's in recognition of this technology that Johnsen has been awarded Georgia Life Sciences' 2026 Innovation Award, which will be presented officially tonight, August 25, at the Golden Helix Awards during the Georgia Life Sciences Summit.

Congratulations, Dr. Johnsen! 🎉

These little fish have a big impact on human neuroscience research.

A UGA study coauthored by College of Engineering professor Peter Kner is among the first to document high-resolution 3D video of a seizure event.

Using zebrafish larvae, a common study species for neuroscience, the researchers captured images of a seizure making its way through the brain using a new high-resolution light-sheet imaging system.

Examining these images in 3D could offer new insights into how seizures form and move throughout different parts of the brain. A better understanding of how the brain operates could inform new treatments for brain diseases and disorders.

The imaging system provides clear images at high speed, enabling fast, high-resolution tracking from brain activity to astronomy.

One last summer experience before we welcome you back next week, Dawgs 🥹

Meet Devin, a mechanical engineering major who wraps up this week on his internship at CM Mission Critical Engineering, LLC in Atlanta, where he's been working on complex MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) systems in data centers across the country.

As we get ready to start a new semester, it's important to remember that the courses you take aren't just filling your time with random info- they can have a big impact on what you're able to do with your degree.

"In spring 2026, I took a building information modeling (BIM) course which gave me a basic understanding of Revit. Having an introduction to Revit really helped me be more successful during my internship," he explained.

What skills are you looking forward to adding to your toolkit this fall? 🧰
