March 4 is World Engineering Day, highlighting engineers’ achievements around the world and improving the public understanding of the importance of engineering and technology. Boise State University has the largest engineering college in Idaho, with innovative, far-reaching research happening in classrooms and labs. Boise State College of Engineering's impact on education and industry is a valuable asset to communities throughout the state, nation and the world.

Erin Mannen, an assistant professor of mechanical and biomedical engineering and director of the Boise Applied Biomechanics of Infants (BABI) lab, studies how babies move and use their muscles in common positions and commercial products to understand the impacts on safety and musculoskeletal development. Her findings led to the recall of millions of dangerous inclined baby sleepers by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. As a result, a new standard for infant sleep products takes effect this year.

Kids In Danger, an organization that fights for product safety for children, presented their Best Friend Award to Dr. Mannen “for her groundbreaking infant sleep research that has led to policy changes and saved lives.”

“As a mechanical engineer and a mother, I thought that if I didn’t try to answer these questions, who would?” Mannen said. “Sometimes when you’re in the lab doing the day-to-day nitty-gritty research, it is difficult to see how the effort will ever make a difference in the real world. I am fortunate to work in an area where the application is obvious and almost immediately impactful.”

Engineering isn't boring. FAR from it! We get to be part of AMAZING projects, and even find time for fun with our colleagues now and again. Engineers week is an opportunity to learn more about the field of Engineering (it includes a whole lot of jobs and careers that you may have never imagined existed!) Take a moment to learn more this week about engineering, and remember - every building, bridge, big art installation, stadium, wall façade (the list could go on and on), all require structural engineering. What a cool world we get to work in!

Boise State College of Engineering rang in the new year with a Micron Technology Foundation gift of $585,000 to help support the establishment of the college’s Micron Student Success Center.

Micron Technology's gift is the latest in the long-standing relationship between the company and Boise State. The Micron Technology Foundation gift is part of the company’s commitment to supporting targeted programs that expand equitable access to education, diversify enrollment, and prepare students for productive and fulfilling engineering careers.

“The growing data economy – fueled by AI and 5G across the cloud, intelligent edge and devices – promises many opportunities for our people to make advancements in memory and storage, and Micron believes that cultivating a diverse pipeline of talent is critical to jump-starting the next wave of innovation,” said Micron Technology Chief People Officer and Foundation President April Amzen. “As a leading technology company founded and headquartered in Idaho, we want to share our resources to empower students in our local communities to succeed as future engineers.”

The nearly 2,600 students in the College of Engineering make Boise State the largest engineering college in Idaho. The Student Success Center will deliver three specific connections to all engineering, computer science, and construction management students: Career, Leadership and Continuing Education Connections.

“Idaho is home to a growing demographic richness and to students from many backgrounds. We are so pleased and grateful for the Micron Foundation’s support, which will help us ensure that this diversity is fully represented in our graduates by increasing student success,” said Dr. Marlene Tromp, Boise State president. “This will allow us to better serve our students, our industry partners and our state.”

The College of Engineering’s Student Success Center will help improve the visibility of available student services and provide all students equal access to early career success by helping them chart a course that combines academic and future goal opportunities.

The newly created Student Success Center builds a diverse community for all students, fostering experiential learning, mentoring, internships, and valuable life skills, and allowing students to create people-to-people connections across the university and amongst peers.

Micron has been a major supporter of engineering, business and STEM education at Boise State for the last 25 years. The Boise, Idaho-based global leader in the semiconductor industry’s latest gift continues building the partnership between Micron and Boise State students and faculty.

“The support from the Micron Foundation truly changes students’ lives, not only in Idaho, but across the world,” College of Engineering Dean JoAnn S. Lighty said. “As a passionate advocate for engineering education, I am inspired by Micron’s generosity and the difference it makes for our college and students; to help strengthen our long-term goals in providing our students with everything they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.”

When completed in the fall of 2023, the Student Success Center will be on the first floor of the Charles P. Ruch Building in the College of Engineering Advising and Outreach office.

“Students who align with their career goals and learning opportunities have a stronger sense of belonging, and that’s a real key for retention,” said College of Engineering Assistant Dean for Student Affairs Diana Garza. “We want students to feel satisfaction in their decision to identify as engineers, computer scientists, or construction managers. Our new center helps strengthen that sense of belonging in the engineering community and our campus community.”

The Student Success Center is the first step of many the College of Engineering will take as part of Boise State’s newest strategic plan, Blueprint for Success. This multi-year plan aims to establish the College of Engineering as a leading, student success-driven college recognized for teaching and scholarship excellence with statewide and global impact.

We are just a week away from the Boise State University Spring Career Fair. Felix is actively hiring interns for our Arizona and Texas locations. Looking forward to meeting you, Boise State College of Engineering!

The Barry Goldwater Scholarship Foundation, one of the oldest and most prestigious national scholarships in natural sciences, engineering and mathematics, selected Boise State honors students Pangaea Finn and Josue Torres-Fonseca as 2022 scholars. The program identifies and supports sophomore and junior level students who show exceptional promise of becoming the next generation of research leaders in these fields.

The two Boise State students join an exclusive group of the 417 students who were awarded from a pool of 1,242 nominated students representing 433 academic institutions this year.

Torres-Fonseca is a computer science major who’s passionate about natural language processing and spoken dialogue systems. Through his research, he hopes to create intelligent systems that enhance the lives of users who are deaf, blind or have other disabilities. His goal is to attend graduate school in Spain or Germany through the Erasmus Mundus European Masters Program in Language and Communication Technologies. Torres-Fonseca’s research mentor, Assistant Professor Casey Kennington, also mentored Boise State’s 2018 Goldwater scholar, Daniele Moro.

“I am in a field with very little diversity so I always feel as if I have to prove myself, even if others don’t directly or indirectly communicate that, because I want to personally be an example for other minorities in the field,” he said.

Torres-Fonseca is grateful to those who believed in him and who recognized the positive effect that his work will have on others. “Research doesn’t have much of an impact in the world if others don’t believe in it and its potential because much of the work can’t be done alone.”

Nine Boise State students – now including Finn and Torres-Fonseca – have received the Goldwater Scholarship since 1991. The Honors College and its fellowship advisor Kate Huebschmann support candidates throughout the application process.

“The scholarship has already had a huge impact on my career and that was before even receiving it,” Torres-Fonseca added. “I had the honor of working with Kate to make my application as strong as possible, which was important because not only did it give me a higher chance of receiving the scholarship but also significantly helped me apply to other research opportunities.”
