AME Graduates Featured in The OU Daily for Their New App

Sam Jett (pictured), a mechanical engineering graduate, Zach Schuermann, a mechanical engineering and computer engineering graduate, and Joseph Lovoi, a finance, entrepreneurship and venture management graduate, were featured in the OU Daily for their new app. The app is called STEV (Student-Teacher Evaluation Visualizations), and it’s a new way for students to evaluate their teachers.

AME Students Win Awards at OU-OUHSC Biomedical Engineering Symposium

On March 29 at the 3rd Annual OU-OUHSC Biomedical Engineering Symposium, AME students participated in the student poster competition. The event was held at the Samis Education Center at the OU Health Sciences Center.

Devin Laurence was awarded first place, while Paige Welch and Samuel Jett were awarded second and third place respectively. The top ten finalists were Yuxuan Chen, Jaanam Gopalakrishnan, Katherine Haddad, Samuel Jett, Devin Laurence, Samara Lewis, Guofa Shou. Julia Tang, Paige Welch, and Omar Michael Wyman.

The Symposium is aimed to bring together the biomedical science and engineering community from the Norman campus and the clinicians and scientists from the Health Sciences Center campus in unprecedented fashion. The symposium will engage clinicians, entrepreneurs, basic scientists, engineers, and key players from the bioscience industry, all aligned in the collective vision of building new partnerships and spreading awareness. The leadership of the symposium includes members of both campuses, including clinical input to ensure a welcoming and enabling environment for clinicians to attend.

Wind Tunnel Design Team Takes 2nd Place at AIAA Student Conference

AME’s student wind tunnel design team recently accepted an award in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on the weekend of April 13th at the student conference of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). Representing the team, Karen Martinez Soto traveled to the conference to accept the 2nd place award on behalf of her team for the AIAA region IV team technical paper category. In addition to Soto, her teammates include Samuel Jett, Orhan Roksa, and Marko Mestrovic, who are all undergraduate students at AME.                                         Their paper highlights the design, fabrication, and uniformity testing of a low-budget, wind tunnel. With a budget of only $5,000, their group examined characteristics of wind tunnels through computer models and they continued their study further by building a tunnel of their own to test other aerodynamic components. The focus of their design and construction for this tunnel, according to their paper, serves to provide “a robust platform for development and testing of many aerodynamics components, including UAV propellers.” Congratulations to Karen, Samuel, Orhan, and Marko for their impressive efforts to design and test a wind tunnel and their 2nd place award from the AIAA student conference.
