Human Landing System Atmosphere Modeling and Simulation

Project Description A Human Landing System must robustly provide for the environmental and metabolic needs of the crew from the point of departure from Gateway, throughout the surface mission and until their return. Specifically, the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) must provide a breathable atmosphere, potable water, food...

Social Sustainability of Sanitation Infrastructure in Low-Income Contexts

Project Description We are investigating how sanitation systems can be adapted to better meet household needs and preferences in rural Peru. We are using interviews and surveys to better understand benefits and aspirations, including how those related to social well-being, are tied to sanitation. The DLA will work with a...

Engineering for Social Justice

Project Description In this longitudinal study, your role would involve collecting and analyzing data on how influences (student backgrounds, identity, learning experiences, etc.) shape global engineering (GE) students' career and social justice aspirations. In particular, we are using critical race theory (CRT) and social cognitive career theory (SCCT) to look...

Rebuilding Post Fire: Collective Action Approaches to Fire Recovery

Project Description The Marshall Fire swept across Louisville, Superior, and Unincorporated Boulder County, destroying over a thousand homes. In the aftermath of the fire, affected homeowners were encouraged to come together to engage in the rebuilding process in order to extract benefits like expedient rebuilding and cost savings. Collective action...

Rebuilding Post Fire: Tracking Decision-Making for Sustainability and Resiliency

Project Description The Marshall Fire destroyed over a thousand homes when it swept across Louisville, Superior, and Unincorporated Boulder County. Following the fire, decisions have to be made at the jurisdiction, community, and individual level surrounding rebuilding, including implementing design and construction decisions for sustainability and resiliency in the face...

Building a Legacy in Engineering

Project Description This Building a Legacy grant will collaborate between CU Boulder's College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) and Tuskegee University's School of Architecture and Construction Science and Management (The Taylor School). Students from both universities will pioneer a "living-learning lab" through design-build projects centered on socially and ecologically...

Future of Work AR Study (Civil)

Project Description The Future of Work Collaboratory (FWC) at CU has two open positions for undergrad research assistants. The FWC is an interdisciplinary research effort across Civil Engineering, Computer Science, and Psychology. It is funded by the National Science Foundation. After two years of R&D and prototype testing, we are...

A Web-Based Tool Development for an Energy Auditing Analysis of Buildings

Project Description The project involves development web software development of an offline energy auditing algorithm to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings. The web-based tool should allow multi-users to perform energy audit of their buildings. The student candidate for this project will be introduced and trained to use the...

GPS and Positioning/Navigation in the Mobile Phones

Project Description This project is to explore/exploit the GPS/position engine within Android. Ideally making end result more more robust with higher integrity. The Android platform provides the majority of GPS/GNSS receivers across the world. Its integration within Android is interesting and many many applications on dependent on "position aware" data...

Global Positioning System (GPS) Software Defined Radios (SDRs) Research

Project Description Software Defined Radios are an ever increasing popular topic. The advent of low cost USB radio dongles such as the USRP and BladeRF as well as tools such as GNU radio have allowed for radio development to move into the software domain. GPS is a satellite-based navigation system...
