“What could be more important than using engineering skills to keep people safer – especially at their jobs?” said Sarah Ng, senior in industrial engineering. “If technology can be used to mitigate risk, that’s what I want to be doing.” Ng is co-founder of SafetyScan with Phillip Gorni, senior in aerospace engineering.
CYstarters Spotlight: Bovi-Jet
Dakota Belling (civil engineering grad) and Eugene Meyer (industrial engineering grad) met for the first time on September 1, 2022. Today, less than a year later, the highly ambitious duo are business partners and co-founders of Bovi-Jet, an automated medicinal spraying system for cattle.
C. G. “Turk” and Joyce A. McEwen Therkildsen receive the ISU Foundation’s prestigious Campanile Award
The ISU Foundation’s Campanile Award was bestowed upon the Therkildsens for their extraordinary, long-time support and inspiring impact on Iowa State University. In September, their $42 million lead gift for the new industrial engineering facility was the largest gift for an academic building in Iowa State University history.
Cybersickness more likely to affect women, ongoing research to understand why
An interdisciplinary team of Iowa State researchers, including IMSE professors Stephen Gilbert and Michael Dorneich, find women experience cybersickness with virtual reality headsets more often than men. Their ongoing work explores why this difference exists and methods to help people adapt.
Kylie Mathison: Engineering commencement student marshal
“I am proud to be a Cyclone Engineer because of the diverse skill set I have gained while at Iowa State. I have learned the importance of creating and improving systems to better sustain the future and hope to use this knowledge to drive innovation into the workplace everywhere I go.”
