BYU College of Engineering

and fellow Civil and Construction Engineering students just returned from a study abroad in the Netherlands and brought back some fun memories! Swipe through to see highlights from the trip, and keep reading to hear about Madi’s experience in her own words.

“On our capstone study abroad, we spent over two weeks in the Netherlands visiting numerous significant water engineering sites, including the capstone project locations for each team on the trip. It was an incredible experience that allowed us to learn so much while seeing the places we had researched come to life.

Some of the highlights included Kinderdijk, the Overdiepse Polder (my team’s capstone site), the Maeslantkering Barrier, the Oosterschelde Barrier, the Cruquius Pumping Station, and the Temple. It was fascinating to see how the Dutch have effectively and sustainably managed water over the years, and the trip gave all of us valuable insights for our future work in the engineering industry.

I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and for the experiences and knowledge we gained throughout the trip.”

What engineering plans do you have this summer?

Who do you hope to influence with your career?

As a young faculty member, Dr. Steve Shumway wanted to bless his peers in the Technology and Engineering Studies profession. Having done just that for over 30 years, he was recognized at the recent 2026 ITEEA Conference with two awards: the Wilkinson Meritorious Service Award and the Technology and Engineering Teacher of the Year Award.

We are proud of Dr. Shumway and his leadership in excellence and welcoming character that make him so deserving of these honors.

Postcards of BYU Engineering’s winter semester memories!

We’ve got mail! These cards help us reflect on the accomplishments our engineering community had in the second half of the 2025-26 school year. We reminisce on student work, mentorship from our off-campus engineering friends, and competition success.

We’re excited to see what memories the summer makes!

The BYU Supermileage team had the opportunity to compete at the Shell Eco Marathon in Indianapolis, Indiana on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway!

They had two cars in the competition. A Prototype ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) and an Urban Concept electric vehicle. Both cars successfully competed in the competition and achieved valid results for placing.

The Prototype won first in its category with 2,144mpg!! The team also won the Technical Innovation Award and got first in the Global Championship Qualification!

We are so proud of them and can’t wait to see what is ahead!
