A landfill is more than the final destination for our garbage. They also produce methane that can be used to generate electricity. But a common contaminant in that gas can damage engines and make the fuel difficult to use.
The University of South Carolina will establish a Nuclear Innovation Center through the Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing, a major new initiative aimed at positioning South Carolina as a national leader in nuclear energy research, innovation, partnership, and workforce development.
Senior aerospace engineering major Patrick Wynne is trying to teach a child-sized fitness watch to calculate heart rate on its own. Junior mechanical engineering student David St. John is figuring out how much energy it takes to do it.
The Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing is mourning the loss of Chemical Engineering Distinguished Professor Emeritus Vincent Van Brunt, a beloved teacher, mentor and colleague.
For chemical engineering alumna Lisa Owen ('86), an unexpected reconnection with the University of South Carolina on social media prompted a conversation that would ultimately shape one of the most meaningful decisions of her life - a transformational gift for the Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing.
For most children, autism is not diagnosed until they're between three and five years old, when behavioral differences become more noticeable. But what if doctors could identify signs of autism much earlier -- even during infancy?
University of South Carolina computer science professor Dr. Ramtin Zand discusses how AI is reshaping classrooms and what students, parents and educators should know.
Graduate students - many of them international - often arrive on campus without a built-in support system, making it difficult to navigate the academic, professional and personal challenges of graduate school.
Over a three-week period earlier this month, rising seniors from National University of Science and Technology (NUST) Oman participated in the Global Scholar Program at the University of South Carolina.
A consulting project with Google gave one Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing student a chance to solve real artificial intelligence challenges.
Biomedical engineering alumna Lena Wallace is turning cutting-edge research into practical health care solutions, and her work earned her a spot on the prestigious Gamecock35 list this past spring.
For William Mustain, being named an Electrochemical Society Fellow is the kind of recognition he never imagined when he first started his career.
When most people think of concrete, they picture roads, sidewalks or building foundations, not something that floats.
As the race to secure supplies of lithium accelerates, Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing researchers are pursuing an unlikely solution: technology originally designed to make drinking water cleaner.
While over 23,000 active users across the university are benefitting from the power of ChatGPT as a tool to enhance learning and research, one USC student is helping lead conversations on AI usage.
Marine biofouling is the buildup of microorganisms such as barnacles, mussels and algae on surfaces constantly exposed to water. For ships and other marine structures, this growth can cause serious problems.
Civil Engineering Professor Fabio Matta was recently named a Fellow by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Board of Direction. The distinction is held by only 3% of ASCE members.
Supported by USC's Magellan Scholar Grant, computer science major Farid Tavakoli is developing a machine learning system that can forecast an airport's energy consumption and costs.
Four Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing faculty members retired this spring after decades of teaching, research and mentorship.
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.
Out of more than 160,000 members in the American Society of Civil Engineers, only five were selected this year for the prestigious Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize.
