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.

The Fundamentals in Engineering (FE) exam is a source of terror for many aspiring engineers. It’s the ultimate final, testing skills from every core competency students learn over the course of their degrees. Those who pass are taking the first step in becoming a certified licensed professional engineer (PE).

George Mason University's Mechanical Engineering Department is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

New research from George Mason University is making footwear safer in slippery winter conditions.

Mechanical engineering’s Jeffrey Moran continues to prepare an experiment to be carried out on the International Space Station (ISS). Via a powerful microscope in microgravity, the team plans to observe how common atmospheric aerosols move across a temperature gradient, information which would inform climate predictions, geoengineering proposals, and even HVAC applications.

A multidisciplinary team of George Mason researchers has secured a $1.7 million grant from the Army Research Lab to develop an AI framework for coordinating teams of autonomous robots in complex and uncertain environments.

The College of Engineering and Computing celebrates mechanical engineering student Peter Pringhayune and alum Jaden Newman’s acceptance into the prestigious Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP) for summer 2025.

George Mason roboticists Xuesu Xiao, Xuan Wang, Daigo Shishika, and Gregory Stein presented nine papers at the 2024 International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2024) hosted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the Robotics Society of Japan last month.  

After immigrating to the United States as a young man, Peter Cho benefited from having excellent advisers, who led him to an illustrious career in naval engineering. Now, Cho teaches as an adjunct professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering to pay forward the goodwill he received.  

Dmitry Oleynik began attending events hosted by George Mason University’s Early Identification Program as an eighth grader. The program, along with early support from his family, helped him develop an interest in engineering.
