Biological Engineering Professor Anhong Zhou has been awarded a $780,000 USDA grant to inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders through hands-on, instrument-driven learning experiences.

The project will provide Utah youth with opportunities to explore food production, animal care, plant science, and agricultural technology through interactive programs, specialized training, and real-world experiences. By bringing together USU faculty, USU Extension 4-H, and community partners, the initiative aims to strengthen agricultural education and career awareness across Utah.

As disruptive technology, seismic concerns, and aging infrastructure continue to challenge society, Dr. Mohsen Zaker Esteghamati is integrating artificial intelligence to help prepare the next generation of engineers. An effort that hasn't gone unnoticed.

This year alone, the Utah State structural engineering professor earned three major awards recognizing his impact in research, teaching, and mentorship:

• 2026 Engineering Educator of the Year, Structural Engineers Association of Utah
• 2026 Terry Peshia Early Career Faculty Award, American Institute of Steel Construction
• 2026 Engineering Educator of the Year, Utah Engineers Council

His work at the Utah Transportation Center is helping develop AI models that prioritize maintenance and repairs to keep bridges and other critical infrastructure safe and reliable.
