The College of Engineering welcomed 90 scholars and scientists (pictured above) from federal agencies and universities around the country for a science team kick-off meeting of a $30 million NASA wildfire research initiative called INSPYRE. The goal is to improve air quality forecasts, inform policy, and advance climate and wildfire science. The three-day event also provided dozens of students the chance to network with and learn from leaders in the field. The summit, hosted by Prof. Jun Wang (pictured), was one of the the many activities keeping our college bustling as we approach the crunch of the spring semester.

The Seamans Center houses a captivating sculpture called Convergence. The three-dimensional wave of six colorful ribbons suspends in the air above a first-floor corridor. Stunning on its face, upon closer inspection each ribbon contains a series of different symbols, letters and equations. The inscriptions are significant to specific disciplines of engineering, ranging from basic concepts to complex ones. The ribbons are individual elements, but they come together to achieve the same visual movement contributing to the idea that disparate fields of engineering or students come together within the school for the same goals.
Joe O'Connell, an artist from Arizona, created the sculpture in 2017. He stated the goal for the sculpture is to create a monument to engineering that concertizes the abstract process of thinking.
