Mechanical engineering students will have a new hands-on opportunity next academic year to explore plastics upcycling, thanks to an Ohio University Undergraduate Experiential Learning Stewardship Grant awarded to Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Andrew Weems.

Faculty researchers from Ohio University’s Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine and Russ College of Engineering and Technology have received a $100,000 grant to investigate possible treatments for mitigating the severity of COVID-19.

Bringing home first place took on new meaning this month for an Ohio University chemical engineering student competition team. For more than 20 years, Russ College students have traveled to Las Cruces, New Mexico, to compete in the WERC Environmental Design Contest at New Mexico State University.
