Mechanical Engineering

The mission of the Center for Biomedical Engineering (CBE) is to combine engineering with molecular and cellular biology to develop new approaches to biomedical technology and to foster research in the rapidly growing discipline of Biological Engineering. With five new members this past year, over 45 CBE faculty (from departments in the MIT Schools of Engineering and Science, as well as the Whitehead institute, Harvard and Boston University Medical Schools and the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology) carry out interdisciplinary, multi-investigator research programs within CBE. This faculty research provides a training environment for a new generation of graduate and undergraduate students in Bioengineering, at the interface between Engineering and Biology.

Our research focuses on the exploration and application of advanced technologies to improve the economic and environmental attractiveness of emerging energy sources, including fusion, advanced fission, renewables and energy efficiency.

The Energy and Geoscience Institute (EGI) at the University of Utah is a non-profit research institute covering a wide range of fossil and geothermal energy research in cooperation with government and industry.

BMW has cars that run on water, emit water vapor at the tailpipe, fill automatically with robots, use hydrogen made from sunlight, and we have been at it for over 30 years!
