acknowledges radio’s transformative impacts on community and technology.

A course at Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering, Introduction to Amateur Radio, was a refreshing change of pace for the students who enrolled, shifting their focus away from coding on computers and toward the hands-on business of soldering FM transmitters and building a directional antenna.

Introduction to Amateur Radio course teaches history, culture, and science of radio technology.

Imagine snapping a photo where every detail, near and far, is perfectly sharp—from the flower petal right in front of you to the distant trees on the horizon. For over a century, camera designers have dreamed of achieving that level of clarity.

On , learn how engineering researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a new kind of lens that can bring an entire scene into sharp focus at once—no matter how far away or close different parts of the scene are.

Researchers develop a camera with spatially selective focusing, allowing the lens to focus on objects at many different distances at once.

A new collaboration between Carnegie Mellon Mechanical Engineering Department's Trevor Jones and Galactic Polymath is bringing engineering research into middle school classrooms through hands-on, creative lessons using everyday materials.

Backed by an NSF CAREER Award, The Science of Craft series helps students explore concepts like geometry, patterns, and 3D structures through activities inspired by origami, tiling, and beadwork.

A partnership between Trevor Jones and Galactic Polymath has brought advanced engineering research topics into middle school classrooms through free, hands-on lessons.

The future of prosthetic care isn’t one-size-fits-all, it’s personalized. College of Engineering alum Josh Caputo is leading that shift with Humotech, a company using robotic emulation to match patients with the right prosthetic the first time.

For millions with limb loss, prosthetic care is still guesswork. Josh Caputo (B.S. MechE/ECE ’10, Ph.D. MechE ’15), the founder of Humotech, is changing that by using robotic emulation to match every patient with the right fit.
