Get to know mechanical and aerospace engineering student Amy Lebanoff, who visited Brazil as part of her study abroad experience. What did you do while studying abroad in Brazil? The trip was a combination of cultural, professional, and academic experiences. We began with culture in São Paulo, Brazil’s most populated city. Here, we explored the […]

UCF ASME is kicking off 2020 by reaching for the stars with former astronaut Nicole Stott and Albert Manero, UCF alum and founder of Limbitless Solutions. The two luminaries will be speaking at ASME EFx, to be held Sunday, Jan. 12, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the UCF Student Union. Tailor-made for mechanical […]

A UCF mechanical engineering student designed the first four-stroke outboard marine engine with turbopower. Dale Wagner, 27, is a UCF senior. He grew up on a citrus farm where he spent hours repairing tractors. He also spent restless years with the hopes to build the engine no one could create. Wagner made it his senior design project. With […]

Buckle your seatbelts. Quentin Fouliard is ready for takeoff. Born in France and with life experiences all over the world, UCF’s first Ph.D. graduate in aerospace engineering is always looking outward and upward. But ask Fouliard where he sees the future of travel taking him after graduation and he’ll give an answer you might not expect. […]

You can detect a mix of disbelief and excitement in Dale Wagner’s voice as he describes the senior design project he just completed as part of his mechanical engineering degree requirements. His was not the textbook project — which in hindsight made it the ideal mechanical engineering project. For nearly 10 years, Wagner had been developing in his restless […]
