The sun is shining and spring is here. This means shorts and t-shirts in the classroom and time for at-sea trials for senior capstone projects

For Professor Foster's OE lab group, happiness is a day at the beach!

This is our senior-level undergraduate ocean measurements class, out on the water in small groups this fall where they're getting some hands-on experience. Where else would you want to be on a warm fall day? Or a cool and crisp fall day, for that matter!

It's official: our new BSOE program is an ABET accredited program, retroactive to our first graduation class! For those of you not familiar with the ABET accreditation process, we needed to wait until we graduated our first class to apply. The (on-going) hard work of the faculty, students, and administration has paid off - many thanks to all involved! We now join the ABET review cycle of several other UNH undergraduate programs. The complete list of UNH's ABET accredited programs can be found here:

What a wonderful gift, aimed at one of the many areas where ocean engineers can make a real difference:

UNH Receives Millions in Donations, Including $5M to Expand Its Commitment to Sustainable Seafood DURHAM, N.H.—Thanks to a $5 million gift, the University of New Hampshire will transform and expand its existing open ocean aquaculture site into the UNH Sustainable Seafood Field Laboratory. This first-of-its-kind field lab will provide the critical data needed to monitor local environment condit...

Sea sq**rt power, robofish, wave makers, citizen science hydrophones, marine energy collegiate competitions, composite lines for kelp aquaculture, bubble dredging screens, underwater time-of-flight cameras. These are some of many topics that faculty proposed to our senior BSOE students this week for their capstone projects. We look forward to seeing what they've done with the projects they selected at UNH's Undergraduate Research Conference this spring!

Research continues in the Chase OE lab during the pandemic, including on this autonomous surface vessel….wait, what is that masked person doing in there? Is this vessel REALLY autonomous?

Today was the first day of classes at UNH, and here is Professor Wosnik waiting for BSOE students to come get their PPE (face masks and face shields). It was a very pleasant spot to sit and read a book. And if you know Professor Wosnik, it will come as no surprise to you that he was reading a book titled "The Mechanics of Aerosols".
