 CU Engineering had another record-breaking year for research funding in the college with $108 million in fiscal year 2019. This is the highest total ever for the college and the second year in a row when awards were above $100M.

 Researchers at CU Boulder are using experiments and computations in a new sloping wind tunnel to study how wildfires form and move across different landscapes; applying cutting edge research tools to understand an old problem that Colorado has become quite familiar with in recent years.
