Professors Randy Beard and Timothy McLain shifted their focus to unmanned aircraft long before drones made news every day. Their long-term goal is to achieve personal, pilotless flight—“a kind of Jetsons vision of the future,” says McLain.
The Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering and Technology at Brigham Young University will host its sixth annual Student Innovator of the Year (SIOY) competition on Oct. 30 and Nov. 5.
It’s often said (and it’s true) that giving undergraduate students research opportunities is a priority at BYU. Chemical engineering professor Alonzo Cook takes that charge very seriously. He has 86 undergraduate students working in his lab, and driving that student work is ongoing support from BYU’s Office of Research and Creative Activities.
Barry Lunt, director of Brigham Young University’s School of Technology, was awarded the first ever Lifetime Service Award at the recent conference for the Special Interest Group for Information Technology (SIGITE) in Chicago. Lunt was one of the founders of SIGITE.
Many BYU students and several professors went to the IFMA World Workplace conference in Denver, Colorado.

In his slide show, Sereno showed how everything in our life is actually dependent on the environment. He advised that we should consider it first and build our society and economy on the parameters set by the environment.
Sereno gave students specific steps to take to be more like the new engineer he believes they need to be.
Sereno left students with these words of wisdom to help inspire them to become the new kind of engineer: one that is a leader and an innovator.
Civil engineer Douglas Sereno delivered the annual Ira A. Fulton College honored alumnus lecture to a packed auditorium, in what he said “ranks as a capstone” of his career. As director of program management for the Port of Long Beach, California, he has helped the port become an example of cultural respect and environmental responsibility. In his lecture he advised students to be a new kind of engineer: one that can “engineer a sustainable future.”
