The Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing is saddened by the passing of Mechanical Engineering Distinguished Professor Emeritus Wally Peters on May 25, 2026.
For Chemical Engineering Assistant Professor Hui Yang, materials science is more than studying structure and properties to power everyday technology. It's reimagining how they can work better.
Manually collecting water samples can be time-consuming, expensive and physically demanding. Those challenges drew rising junior Sofiane Lachab to a research project focused on an autonomous water-sampling drone.
Digital image correlation is commonly used by Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing faculty and students. But it started with a small group of University of South Carolina researchers experimenting with digital imaging tools more than 40 years ago.
For South Carolina Honors College sophomore Brady Hurd, inspiration did not come from a classroom or a textbook: it came from a bridge.
The Gibbons Legacy Society Dinner celebrated two accomplished alumni, Lindell "Lin" Bradley and Kelly Kopchak, while also recognizing the donors whose investment in students and programs helps strengthen engineering and computing education.

If you ask a traditional AI system, "When will this equipment fail?" the answer might be a prediction based on previous data. While useful, Agentic AI takes it further.
A simple fall can be life-changing, especially if bones are not as strong as they used to be. For millions of people with osteoporosis, even minor accidents can lead to serious fractures and long recovery times.
This past fall, Scout Motor’s chief technology officer Burkhard Huhnke was the lead instructor for Applied Systems Engineering for Complex Systems, a class offered through the Molinaroli College’s new industrial engineering program. Ph.D. student Austin Harper shares how the course taught him about sophisticated technology and design processes, including those Scout will use at the new plant.
For Sarah Deloach, her academic and research pursuits were not linear but driven by a clear and persistent curiosity about human health. Today, Deloach's research focuses on developing new treatments for heart disease.
As the Class of 2026 prepares to walk across the commencement stage, graduates leave the University of South Carolina with memories of enduring friendships, newfound passions, supportive mentors and life-changing experiences.
Now in its 20th year at USC, the VEX Robotics camp offers middle and high school students the opportunity to develop skills in programming, mechanical design and teamwork. The summer program also serves as a gateway to competitive robotics teams and, sometimes, enrollment in the Molinaroli College. For alum Nathanael Oliver, it was as pathway to both.
The USC chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE) has been named SAMPE Student Chapter of the Year - an honor awarded among 49 chapters across North America.
Khufu Holly first learned about the Goldwater Scholarship after watching a fellow biomedical engineering student and lab mate open an acceptance letter.
Radiovoltaics technology directly converts nuclear radiation into electricity using semiconductor junctions. And radiovoltaics is now considered the most sustainable form of power conversion, especially in harsh environments and remote locations.
Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing seniors from 10 undergraduate programs will be recognized for their achievements at the university's annual Awards Day on April 16.
Building on the University of South Carolina’s early adoption of ChatGPT and its continued commitment to responsible AI use, Provost Mary Anne Fitzpatrick has appointed Mark Uline as the university’s first associate vice president and vice provost for AI strategy.
