MechSE alum Joe Tanner (BSME 1973) was inducted into NASA's Astronaut Hall of Fame on May 16, 2026, alongside fellow astronaut Tom Akers.

“It was a surreal weekend for us,” Tanner said of the ceremony (which included fellow astronaut Tom Akers). “We had to pinch ourselves often to make sure it was really happening. I am very honored to have joined that elite group of my friends.”

(sigh)...what do you think Marvin's doing right now? 🦆 🐐
We aren't ready to say goodbye. 💔
Congratulations to the Class of 2026! We can't wait to see what you do next!
Do you have photos or videos from ME 370 final presentations on Sunday?

Send us your footage and get a free MechSE hat!
This year, students on the ASME Competitions Committee competed in the IAM3D event held through the ASME EFx Student Competition held at University of Central Florida in Orlando (April 25th- 26th). They constructed a 3D-printed, first-person view extraterrestrial mining robot to excavate materials in a simulated lunar environment. A track system enabled efficient movement and a bucket with a belt and pulleys allowed the robot to quickly extract materials during the five-minute competition period. The team thoroughly documented their ideas in a design report, helping them to win third place at the national competition.

Congratulations to the ASME Competition Committee!
Thanks to the Canvas cyber attack, we missed the ME 370 presentations this semester. 😖

The good news is, we are giving away MechSE hats to anyone who can send us photos or videos they took during the ME 370 final presentations on Sunday! PM us for details!
Higher levels of the structural proteins collagen and fibrin around a tumor counterintuitively make the tissue softer — the opposite of conventional thinking, a new study shows. MechSE researchers found that the interplay of these proteins can make a vast difference in tumor structure and growth as well as how drugs pass through the tissue, key considerations for developing lab-grown tumors for drug development and personalized medicine.

“Collagen and fibrin have been used in tissue engineering for a long time as two separate proteins. But in our bodies, they are continuously interacting with each other,” said MechSE professor Bumsoo Han, the leader of the study published in the journal Acta Biomaterialia. “Because most engineered tumor models overlook this interaction, they may misrepresent how real tumors behave.”

In the new study, Han’s group carefully analyzed the structure, properties and interactions of collagen and fibrin in cancer tissue and compared them with the hydrogels used as the tumor environment in engineered models.
