UGA Engineering Class of 2020
Join the University of Georgia College of Engineering as we celebrate the determination and commitment of the Class of 2020 with a special video message.
2020 Capstone Design Showcase Award Ceremony!
Debris Tracker
Plastic pollution in our oceans is an enormous challenge. Jenna Jambeck and Kyle Johnsen, researchers in the UGA College of Engineering, helped design the Marine Debris Tracker app to allow citizen scientists to keep tabs on the problem. The data collected from the app can help create upstream solutions.

Senior Signature 2020
Commit to leaving your legacy.
The first Senior Signature plaque was created in 1991 with just a few hundred signatures. Today, thousands of graduating students make a difference by donating a minimum $50 gift to the university. This gift includes a designation option so that graduates can give to any school, college, department, program, or scholarship that has had a personal impact on them during their time at UGA.
All May, August and December undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to include their name on the plaque. The deadline is March 31.

Happy Thanksgiving from UGA Engineering
Happy Thanksgiving to our donors and supporters! For the opportunities you create, for the challenges you meet, for the barriers you break, for the lives you change...we thank you!
UGA Student Aerospace Initiative Alka-Rocket 2019
A team from the University of Georgia College of Engineering has been named a finalist in the Bayer Alka-Rocket Challenge for the second consecutive year. Members of the UGA Student Aerospace Initiative will travel to the Kennedy Space Center next month to compete against three other finalists selected from colleges and universities across the nation for a chance to win $30,000. An Alka-Rocket is a model rocket often built using a 35mm canister and propelled by the chemical reaction that occurs when effervescent tablets are mixed with water. The finalist teams were selected by a panel of judges based on the design, execution and creativity of their rockets. Check out UGA SAI's submission video:
NOVA at UGA Engineering
The UGA College of Engineering hosts a video crew from the PBS documentary series NOVA which is working on an upcoming episode on materials.
Spring Convocation 2019
What makes the University of Georgia College of Engineering so special? Let our 2019 graduates tell you.
Spring 2019 Convocation: the Arch
"This felt great to finally do! Finally got to walk under the Arch and I will forever be able to do so!"
Congratulations to Josh, one of our 2019 electrical engineering graduates.
UGA Engineering and Computer Science VR Demos 2019
Engineering and computer science students at the University of Georgia will demonstrate their virtual reality projects, like this firefighter training tool, Tuesday, May 7 from noon until 3:00 p.m. at the Science Library in the Boyd Graduate Studies Building. The live demos are open to the public. Details and more cool previews: http://bit.ly/VRdemoUGA
SEC Academic Honor Roll
Four student-athletes in the UGA College of Engineering have been named to the 2018-19 Southeastern Conference (SEC) Winter Academic Honor Roll.
Congratulations to Ariana Henderson (Women's Basketball, Civil Engineering); Emily Clark (Equestrian, Mechanical Engineering); Joshua Horne (Swimming and Diving, Biochemical Engineering); and Billy Rothery (Swimming and Diving, Civil Engineering).
The winter honor roll considers grades from the 2018 spring, summer and fall terms. Student-athletes from both basketball teams, the men's and women's swimming and diving teams, as well as the equestrian and gymnastics squads, are considered for the honor roll.
Any student-athlete who participates in a Southeastern Conference championship sport, has a grade point average of 3.00 or higher, and has completed a minimum 24 semester hours, is eligible for nomination.
A total of 73 University of Georgia Student-Athletes were named to the honor roll, ranking third in the conference.
Senior Design Showcase - Conveyor Reject System
How cool is this? A student team designed and programmed a conveyor reject system for their capstone senior design project. The system uses an optical scanner to sort material based on its label and to reject items without a label. Then, a collaborative robotic arm gathers the material and places it in "pallets." The system was on display Tuesday at our annual Senior Design Showcase.
A little rain and cold didn't dampen the spirit at E-Day on G-Day 2019! Students, staff and faculty in the College of Engineering had a great time meeting incoming students and their families and reconnecting with alumni and friends. Check out a big photo album from the event here: http://bit.ly/eday-gday

Friend of UGA Award: Georgia Power
Congratulations to the amazing team at Georgia Power on receiving the 2019 Friend of UGA Award, presented by the University of Georgia Alumni Association. Georgia Power’s investment in the UGA College of Engineering has been instrumental in advancing numerous opportunities and experiences for engineering scholars. In addition, Georgia Powers' support of UGA is felt in almost every corner of campus.
Congratulations to faculty members Stephan Durham, Jenna Jambeck, Sudhagar Mani, Leidong Mao, and Yajun Yan! The University of Georgia has approved the promotion of all five to the position of professor, effective July 1. Visit our website for details: http://bit.ly/profpromos
Two College of Engineering faculty members will be among those honored today at the University of Georgia's 40th annual Research Awards Banquet.
Hitesh Handa, an assistant professor in the School of Chemical, Materials and Biomedical Engineering, will receive the Fred C. Davison Early Career Scholar Award. Handa focuses on developing new biocompatible coating materials for medical implant applications. He strives to transform medical device research from a largely trial-and-error process to one guided by theoretical and experimental understanding of reaction pathways at the molecular level.
Mable Fok, an associate professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will receive the Creative Research Medal in Natural Sciences and Engineering. Fok's interdisciplinary research spans system design, hardware implementation and algorithms in an effort to overcome the future crunch in spectral bandwidth.
