Experiential learning is a green light for success, and our Engineering Dawgs spending the summer in the fast lane🚦

Meet Reed, a civil engineering major who's out gaining real world experience with Kimley-Horn as a transportation intern, working on traffic impact and traffic engineering studies "for a variety of mixed-use, industrial, and even data center developments."

This Dawg is making all the right turns this summer 😎

Summer isn't just a time to recharge, it's an opportunity to gain experience- and right now, our Engineering Dawgs are all over the world making the most of it.

Meet Clara, a mechanical engineering major (and Digital Dawg!) who's spending the summer as an intern with Honeywell Aerospace in Arizona.

"My role involves collaborating across mechanical, electrical, systems, manufacturing, and project engineering groups to coordinate technical efforts, resolve challenges, and ensure project objectives stay on track. I'm gaining valuable insights into how complex aerospace systems are designed, tested, and brought into production while strengthening my technical communication, teamwork, and problem solving skills."

Clara is still making time for summer adventures: when she's not at her internship, you can find her out hiking with friends or going for a swim.

Follow along as we highlight more places our students are making an impact during the dawg days of summer! 🐶

For associate professor Matt Bilskie, research is all about risk.

As the principal investigator at the Coastal Ocean Analysis and Simulation Team (COAST), Bilskie works to understand hurricanes and coastal flooding, and help reduce their impact on communities.

He also recently helped launch the Center for Innovation in Risk, Catastrophes and Decisions (CIRCAD), a collaboration with the Terry College of Business and Duke University.

This research plays a central role in his teaching, helping students learn to navigate the complex landscape of catastrophe, insurance, and decisionmaking when it comes to coastal hazards.

Engineering associate professor applies research to real life - UGA Today Matt Bilskie works to understand hurricanes and reduce their impact.

In just five years of racing formula cars, UGA Motorsports is accelerating towards becoming a top program.

At last month's Formula SAE IC event at Michigan International Speedway, the UGA team placed first in the cost event- a first for the club, involving a comprehensive manufacturing and business analysis of the car based in real industry context- and 43rd overall out of 140 teams.

UGA Motorsports has involved over 1500 students since their founding in 2014. With milestones like these, they're just gearing up.

Recent alumni: Do you miss us? Do you want a reason to stick around UGA Engineering a bit longer?

Applications are now open for a new cohort of the UGA Engineering Alumni Board! Members devote their time and creativity to help build lifelong connections between the College of Engineering and our alumni. This board plays a significant role in guiding the efforts and initiatives of the College, and members serve as ambassadors for Bulldog Engineering across the nation.

Alumni who have obtained a degree of any level within the past five years (2021-2026) are encourages to apply. Current graduate students who received an undergraduate degree from the UGA College of Engineering are eligible to serve on the board. Selected board members serve a two-year term with bi-annual board meetings and are expected to attend other student and alumni events.

Want to help shape UGA Engineering for future Bulldogs? Apply by July 1: https://engineering.uga.edu/alumni-giving/alumni-board/

These Dawgs are DONE ‼️🐾

"I am an Engineer. In my profession I take deep pride.”

The countdown to convocation continues. Yesterday afternoon, graduating seniors took place in the Order of the Engineer ceremony. Upon reciting and accepting the Obligation of the Engineer, engineers receive a stainless steel ring, worn on the fifth finger of the working hand.

Huge congratulations to our founding dean, Donald J. Leo, on being named the 11th President of The University of Alabama in Huntsville!

UAH is lucky to have you, President Leo! Once a Dawg, always a Dawg!
