To inspire more students to pursue STEM and computer science careers, researchers from UF have joined forces with Florida middle and high school educators.

The Eckhoff Steel Bridge Team has captured its fifth consecutive national title. The championship marks the UF team’s seventh first-place win since 1997, the most wins by a single team in the competition’s 33-year history.

As part of UF Engineering’s 2025 Engaged Quality Instruction Through Professional Development (EQuIPD) camps, high school and middle school students will delve into design challenges that incorporate artificial intelligence, programming and machine learning with engineering design thinking.

This year’s National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (NSF GRFP) program only awarded 1,000 grants, nearly half as many as in the past, and yet eight University of Florida Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering students were selected to receive awards for their exemplary work and contributions to their departments.

UF engineering students Mollie Brewer and Kevin Childs are co-primary investigators on a paper exploring how coaches analyze data – often from wearable sensors – to shape training and strategy and, ultimately, win more games.

Twice every school day, student musicians climb 194 stairs to perform mini-concerts on the carillon atop UF’s iconic Century Tower. Here are the engineering students for the Carillon Studio’s Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 semesters.

A proud resident of Gator Nation, Anany Sharma is part of the inaugural Artificial Intelligence Systems (AIS) master’s degree program in the Department of Engineering Education (EEd) in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering.

University of Florida graduate student Douglas Ta grew up in Central Florida with sports at the center of his youth. He played soccer and tennis and contends his time on those teams sharpened a competitive drive that serves him well as a Gator engineering student.

Four departments in the University of Florida’s Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering made significant gains in the 2025 U.S. News & World Report (USNWR) rankings among graduate engineering programs, according to figures recently released. 

Championships keep rolling in for University of Florida ASCE chapters, as student teams won first place overall earlier this month at the ASCE Southeast Student Symposium in Athens, Ga. “UF took first out of 19 universities,” noted ASCE student chapter advisor Mark Newman, Ph.D. “Our students also made more history as the first university in […]
