Valpo Engineering

Valpo is one of the very few schools in the country that offer a free Dale Carnegie course to students while they are enrolled in the College of Engineering.  Students learn about public speaking, time management, dealing with stress, and building relationships.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, three recent alumni from the College of Engineering, Alex Luna, Monica Magallanes , and Krystal Peña, gave an inspiring presentation about overcoming challenges and how we can become agents of change. Thank you to all who attended!

Valparaiso University student, Mario Ramos ‘24 who is a mechanical engineering major, researched over the past two summers how solar heat energy can be used instead of carbon. Read more at valpo.edu/stories/2024/0…

It’s official: Two more of our engineering programs are ABET-accredited 👏 (Meaning @ValpoCoE is six for six!) Now, this coveted honor has been bestowed on our environmental and bioengineering programs. Learn more at bit.ly/valpoABET!

Embodying the spirit of innovation and determination: The story of Charles Smith ‘25 and Fayol Ateufack Zeudom ‘26 and how SOURCE brought them together. valpo.edu/stories/2024/0…

The research of undergraduate students in Valpo’s College of Engineering has been recently recognized by SolarPACES, highlighting our James S. Markiewicz Solar Energy Research Facility as a unique, one-of-a-kind resource in innovation. Learn more at bit.ly/solarpacesvalpo ☀️

Did you know Valparaiso University has the only undergrad-level solar furnace in the US? Undergrads have studied a multi-year thermochemical energy storage with cobalt for the first time over multiple years. Read the article to learn more. solarpaces.org/valparaiso-uni…

Several Valpo ME students attended the Caterpillar Intern Orientation event. Valpo and Caterpillar have had a very strong relationship for many years, and it’s exciting to see so many of our students working there this summer.

Simeon Ehm, EnE class of 24, set a new university record in the 1,500m at 3:49.57 at the recent Missouri Valley Conference Track and Field Championship. Good job Simeon 👏

Lauren Kadlec, class of 2024, shares her inspiring journey of discovery and determination within her engineering major. valpo.edu/stories/2024/0….

Thanks to Olivia Norris, a 2022 Civil Engineering graduate, for speaking to CE 252 - Intro to Transportation today via zoom from Japan. She spoke about her work on the rehabilitation of the lock between Lake Michigan and the Chicago River with the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Some pics from this morning of CE 252 Intro to Transportation visiting the Borman Expressway Traffic Management Center. Students on the trip learned how INDOT works to keep traffic on the busiest highway in Indiana moving.
