Under the scorching sun on a May afternoon, workers wipe the sweat from their brows between pounding 10-inch greenish-yellow stems into the soil on a patch of land at the West Virginia University Agronomy Farm. It’s one of many sites – not just in West Virginia but surrounding states – where visions of a future fueled by biomass are engrained into mainly forgotten lands. It’s a vision of alternative fuels and safer, sustainable products, all at an economical price-point.

An honor presented to only the best in the profession, Vladislav Kecojevic, the Robert E. Murray Chair and Professor of mining engineering, has received the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration’s prestigious Fellow Award.

After Statler College student Anthony Garber’s friend’s dog accidentally received a hard pull on the neck from a retractable leash, Garber began searching the dog leash market for a product that wouldn’t yank so harshly on the dog’s neck. When he couldn’t find a leash that fit his idea, he began brainstorming. That brainstorming lead to The Easy Leash, a braked dog leash Garber is in the process of creating.

Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society, has selected 28 engineering students for graduate fellowships for the 2021-2022 academic year. Statler College student Wilson “Will” McNeil was selected as one of the recipients.

Dear friends and colleagues,

I hope you are having a wonderful summer. We continue to be proud of the hard work and dedication of the students, faculty, and alumni in the Statler College. This issue of EngineeringWV Wired highlights the College's interdisciplinary research and the outstanding accomplishments of some of our students, faculty, and alumni.

For our alumni, I encourage you to participate in the "Where are they now?" campaign listed in the ad below. The true success of your academic experience is the success of your career path as an alum and we would love to see where your path has taken you!

Let's go!
