MedTech in the college magazine
Inventing Tomorrow is published by the College of Science and Engineering once a year for alumni and friends, who include industry partners. In our most recent, last fall, we focused on medical technology—specifically how we build better devices for better outcomes that span age groups and health challenges.
Modeling wildfire smoke with drones
University of Minnesota researchers built AI-guided aerial robots to detect, track, and 3D-reconstruct wildfire smoke plumes. This cost-effective innovation provides high-resolution data to dramatically improve air quality predictions for communities affected by wildfires and other airborne hazards.
Mentor a student and future STEM leader
The College of Science and Engineering Mentor Program pairs more than 200 science and engineering sophomores, juniors, and seniors with industry professionals each year. This rewarding opportunity for both student and mentor—many college alumni!—shapes the next generation of innovators.
