UVU Column: Students in new engineering major fly high

The first students to earn bachelor’s degrees in engineering from Utah Valley University have made impressive strides in their careers and brought recognition to the program, having captured first place in a national competition of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

The major is new at computer science vs engineering. Previously, students could take pre-engineering classes, then transfer to a different institution to earn bachelor’s degrees. Two years ago, four new programs began for mechanical, civil, electrical and computer engineering. There were 15 students in mechanical and civil engineering, and that number has already increased, with 35 students entering their senior year in the fall.

Four members of this year’s graduating class participated in the ASME event, in which they designed and built a drone (unmanned aerial vehicle) to fly between obstacles, pick up a payload, and drop it off precisely where assigned, all while being timed.
