Cheryl Reuben is proud to show off one of the devices she assists on in her line of study. As a co-creator of a program that can forecast soil health, she is able to help farmers with water conservation.

Even as a senior, UI Electrical and Computer Engineering Student Luke Farmer acknowledges how overwhelming some academic advisor meetings can be for underclassmen. That’s why he says he is excited about the capabilities of DINA - the AI generated Departmental Intelligent Neural Advisor.

Milan Sonka is the director of the Iowa Initiative for Artificial Intelligence at the University of Iowa. He said right now, there is little oversight on AI-generated content.

Promising research being conducted in the University of Iowa’s College of Engineering is raising the possibility for a new use for corn: using bacteria through a bioremediation process to clean up toxic chemicals in sediments contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs.

An advanced degree in engineering can greatly improve your career prospects. If you’re aiming for a career in academia, a research master’s is the best pathway towards a PhD, a terminal degree that trains you to become an expert in your field while pursuing your passion. Most PhD graduates progress into teaching roles in academia, working towards becoming a tenured professor.

DINA is a simplified search engine for all information available on the electrical and computer engineering website.

Under Professor Jerry Schnoor’s guidance, our group does research at IIHR—Hydroscience and Engineering focused on remediating cancer-causing pollutants using nature-based techniques. Specifically, we specialize in treating contaminants with plants (phytoremediation) and microbes (bioremediation).

Jennifer Fiegel, professor of chemical and biochemical engineering, will serve a three-year term on the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Societal Impact Operating Council (SIOC).
