“A coding bootcamp is also a great way to build relationships with like-minded people of similar coding experience, so working together is great when you get stuck. The same idea can be applied to undergrad research, as learning something new is always beneficial, as you never know when you will need to use it,” Prasanna said.
Nicole Hashemi and her students will advance a “placenta-on-a-chip” – which models how medicines, nutrients and other substances are passed from mother to fetus – with a new, three-year, $350,000 National Science Foundation Mid-Career Advancement grant.
The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) student chapter from Iowa State University has once again returned from the national Annual AIChE meeting with some important honors.
“After getting my bachelor’s in MSE, I moved into industry, getting a job at a materials testing company. Near the end of my time there, we started to get additive manufactured parts more frequently, which piqued my interest and prompted me to return to grad school. When choosing grad schools, the MSE department at Iowa State specifically really caught my interest after I did a campus visit.
Podcasting pair and Cyclone Engineers make space for curiosity and conversation on their podcast, Universe-ity.
Cyclone Engineering’s new major in biomedical engineering has quickly attracted 50 students in its first semester.
Subra Suresh (M.S. ’79 mechanical engineering) was recognized for his “pioneering research across engineering, physical sciences and life sciences, and particularly for advancing the study of material science and its application to other disciplines.”

“It was nice coming from a smaller
college to a department in a larger
university that still maintains the support and communication of a smaller college.”
“Last summer, before I even started taking classes at Iowa State, I got experience working on using machine learning to predict the angle of view between two images of the same object, taken from different angles.”
