A new report by the National Science Foundation ranked the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources 84th in research expenditures among 404 engineering programs surveyed.

Employees who work in the transportation system, specifically those who work on our roadways, are more at risk of being killed on the job than the average American employee, making safety training in the field a top priority.

Engineers at West Virginia University are aiding neuroscientists in data collection through a software that enables them to visualize and explore data in 3D for a more accurate image.

In 2012, Kevin Bandura, an assistant professor in the Lane Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering at West Virginia University, began working on the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment, or CHIME, a telescope project that was designed to map the universe by studying dark energy and observing hydrogen gas in distant galaxies that were strongly affected by it.

As the fictional Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles roam sewers to fight their archenemy Shredder and his goons, a team of real-life West Virginia University superhero scientists lurk around the portals to the underground land of drainage and waste to battle a more sinister villain: COVID-19. 

A team of West Virginia University researchers are making railways safer by developing a Band-Aid-like protective jacket for tank cars that haul hazardous materials. The composite material, because of its superior puncture and fire resistance qualities, will prevent spills and leaks caused by accidents, ultimately protecting surrounding communities, the environment and emergency responders from disasters.

A unique blend of expertise in multiple areas of engineering at West Virginia University, and a shared purpose have culminated in an integrated solution to meet the unique challenges of the Virgin Hyperloop Certification Center, slated to be located in the West Virginia highlands.
