George Mason University students take third in competition to help veterans maintain their quality of life.

Keeping his nose to the grindstone is not just how Andrew Hutsell approaches his academic career in engineering—it's how he cut a small slice of fame.  The George Mason University alumnus recently put his engineering skills to the test on national television, competing in an episode of the History Channel’s Forged in Fire, a competition show that challenges bladesmiths to create weapons under tight deadlines.

New offerings and a healthy dose of competition leave campers happily humming along.

Professor Lizhi Wang, a new faculty member with a joint appointment in George Mason University’s Department of Bioengineering and Department of Systems Engineering and Operations Research, has brought his systems approach to optimizing agriculture, livestock farming, and now human health.

Jacob Lockey improved his pipette and professional skills in his summer at Athari Biosciences.

George Mason prepared students for real-world experiences ahead of their senior years.

Understanding and treating complex eye movement disorders like strabismus has long been a challenge for clinicians. Now, researchers at George Mason University are pioneering a new approach using robotics and artificial intelligence to engineer a better future for vision care.

Sixteen students from George Mason’s College of Engineering and Computing took an early summer ROMP in Quito.

With state-of-the-art teaching labs and fabrication facilities, the Life Sciences Engineering Building (LSEB) lets students and faculty get their hands dirty in this brand-new multiuse active learning space. The ribbon cutting didn’t officially happen until March 27, but LSEB already experienced a housewarming.

In the lifespan of legacy research universities, 53 years is barely old enough to read. Twelve years might as well be an eye-blink. Yet, George Mason University has always proved itself a prodigy. The bioengineering department is no exception.
