Last month, the Pigman College of Engineering welcomed 280 students from 20 Kentucky high schools for the Transition to Engineering (T2E) Project Kick-off event. The T2E Project Kick-off is a speed project mentoring event that allows high school students to share project ideas and connect with engineering faculty, alumni and other students across the state participating in the program. Now in its third year, the T2E program targets high-achieving students with a strong interest in engineering, and applies the college's wildly successful First-Year Engineering (FYE) program at the high school level. Participating high school seniors must pass their engineering course, complete and design a project they present and make themselves calculus-ready at the college level. If they enroll at UK, they will receive credit for the first two required FYE courses and enter a modified version of the third.

It is always great to try to help people understand the role of energy in their lives. Our electrical power systems are multigenerational, complex systems designed to balance of safely, reliability, and economy. weku.org/the-commonweal…

I was happy to visit @Alabama_ECE last week to share my work with the wonderful people there and to represent @UK_ECE and @ukyengineering. There are a lot of similarities between our departments, and I am looking forward to future opportunities to work together.

Let's go, y'all! Beat the Boomers! @florence_yalls

The hardest part of optimization may be getting agreement on an explicit function to optimize.

Solid start after one inning for @GoLexLegends! Up 5-1

It's like waking up after a bad dream. Let's rally for an opening weekend win, @GoLexLegends!

Congrats to Alexandre Martin, @ukyengineering, for @NASA EPSCoR funding continued research on the hypersonic KRUPS capsule; with this mission (KREPE-3), 7 capsules will be sent to the ISS and re-enter the atmosphere to test novel heat shield materials.

In a joint project with @NASA, @ukyengineering students 3D-printed a space capsule to test thermal heat protection: asme.org/topics-resourc…

"Giving up does not make you someone who is less than, but rather makes you someone who is intentional; pursuing what was really meant for you all along; operating in your God-given purpose." - Cindy Sossa, UK Alum, Bachelor of Arts, English

I was proud to be recognized by the board yesterday and was most grateful for the very kind words offered by my colleague @hol_swan.

I am very excited to participate in this program representing @universityofky. I have heard wonderful things about ALDP and am looking forward to learning from colleagues at other @SEC institutions.
