In a groundbreaking collaboration backed by a nearly $11 million federal grant, UF researchers have developed a first-of-its kind superconducting magnet that could advance metal production and position the United States as a global leader in alloy production.  

A University of Florida engineering team is exploring how to manufacture precision metal structures in orbit using laser technology.

University of Florida Professor Iris V. Rivero, Ph.D., the Paul and Heidi Brown preeminent chair of Industrial and Systems Engineering, has been named a fellow with the prestigious Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME). 

Armed with a $7 million grant from the Army Corp of Engineers, University of Florida researchers are working to bolster shoreline resilience and restore troubled wetlands in St. Augustine through nature-based solutions.

UF’s Patrick Musgrave, Ph.D., has received the prestigious Air Force Young Investigator Award and $450K in research funding to develop adaptive aircraft structures that sense, decide, and respond on their own. His work could lead to lighter, faster, and more responsive aircraft by using structural vibrations instead of traditional sensors and computers.

Simple, cheap components let people hear everything a microphone picks up.

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.

University of Florida researchers are collaborating with North Carolina State University and University of South Florida scientists on a next-day prediction model to warn and inform water managers about harmful algal blooms.

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.
