UD is committed to the success of women in engineering. In honor of Women’s History Month, here are just a few of the women who set the course for the engineers of today and tomorrow.
Smart glass
Someday we won’t need curtains or blinds on our windows, and we will be able to block out light-or let it in-with just the press of a button. At least that’s what these two UD engineers hope.
Discovering How Cells Divide

Blue Hen Bragging Rights
Look around the world, and you will see UD’s story told in the lives we collectively lead. Listen to the echoes of history, and you will hear of all that our scholars and students have accomplished. Pay attention to the voices of the people who seek progress and...
Man on the Moon
It was the height of the groovy-but-grim late ’60s, and the collective American consciousness seemed to have lapsed into a dizzy haze, like queasy riders on some psychedelic, psychotic merry-go-round. In those days, war tore at the nation’s heart, its brutal images...
Air Force Young Investigator Grant
UD’s Tingyi Gu wins grant to study 2D material based optoelectronic devices Imagine how much we could accomplish in a day if we could exchange messages at the speed of light. Thin two-dimensional materials, made atomic layer by atomic layer, may enable communications...
Nov. 15: The rise of 3D printing
Expert, UD alumnus to speak on campus about the changes in the field If you’ve only seen 3D printing on TV, you might think it’s just for making action figures or forks. In reality, it’s serious business. “Everybody knows about 3D printing because of the maker...
