Stephen Tse, professor and director of outreach in the School of Engineering’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, has waited patiently for years to run a series of experiments involving spherically-symmetrical flames known as “s-Flame” on the International Space Station.
“It was a decades-long process to get these experiments to finally run,” he says. “The project was approved around 2002, but many things occurred which cancelled and delayed it. Now, in fall 2019, we finally get to see the experiments begin.”

MAE UG students in RU3D, including Hari Vijayakumar and Brandan Dowling, participated in the Self-eSTEAMfest (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) community event at McKinley Community School in New Brunswick on September 28th. The goals of Self-eSTEAMfest was to connect the subjects the students are studying such as coding and mathematics and connect them with real-world careers. Hundreds of elementary students and their family from across the district attended the event.
