JULY 2024

Researchers at West Virginia University are making strides once again in robotics, one of the fastest-growing disciplines in the Statler College.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of engineering education, adaptability and innovation are paramount. Starting this fall, students in the Statler College will have the opportunity to hone their skills with a new Engineering Leadership minor.

A new first-of-its-kind Mine Safety Practices and Health certificate being offered at the Statler College addresses significant mining industry challenges by ensuring alignment to best practices in industry standards.

WVU undergraduate engineering students have lent their expertise to the construction of new bridges in Morgantown.

The Alumni Who Inspire! program in the Statler College recognizes alumni for their dedication to their professions, our college and WVU. The program was launched in Fall 2023 as a monthly discussion board to inspire future generations of engineers and computer scientists in the College.

Three WVU supporters with successful careers in investments and executive management were elected to the WVU Foundation Board of Directors at its annual meeting, including Christine “Christy” Hayhurst Davis (BS, Industrial Engineering ‘07).

Dear friends and colleagues,  

We hope you're enjoying this wonderful summer. This month, we have some inspiring and exciting updates to share with all of you.

We invite you to read July's feature about the incredible experience and achievements of our doctoral researcher Clarus Goldsmith, whose work earned recognition at this year's prestigious international conference on robotics and automation in Japan. Speaking of student's achievements, learn more about civil engineering student Ben Opie, who led a team that worked with the West Virginia Division of Highways on recommended infrastructure projects to improve Morgantown's bridges.

We are also excited to announce two new programs that provide more academic opportunities for our students. The first program is a first-of-its-kind Mine Safety and Health certificate, which aligns the latest safety training methods with industry best practices to support students from the classroom to their careers in the mining industry. The second program is an Engineering Leadership minor from the industrial and management systems engineering department, designed to equip future engineers with the critical leadership skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly evolving interconnected world.

We eagerly look forward to more shared successes and celebrations with all of you in the coming month!

Enjoy the rest of your summer, and Let's Go!
