Hector Rodrigues was not originally planning to join the Equity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Program (E-STEM), but he is glad he did. All it took was a few phone calls encouraging him that he would make a good fit in the program as an incoming computer science major at the Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science of an underrepresented background. In no time, he was fortifying his roots with a community who would provide the support needed for success at the University of Denver. 

When the University of Denver goes on winter break, technological innovation doesn’t rest. At the Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science, people are working in labs on projects for advancement in their fields.

On Friday, May 19, 2023, engineering seniors at the Daniel Felix Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science presented their year-long projects at the Senior Design Showcase. The Showcase is the final part of the Senior Design Project course, a requirement for all engineering seniors. For their projects, seniors work in groups of three-five students to create a real-life deliverable for their sponsors.

The Knoebel Institute for Healthy Aging (KIHA) at the University of Denver is a true embodiment of DU’s mission to serve the public good. Much more than a research institute, KIHA engages with a diverse community of actors to advance our understanding of aging and improve how people support and appreciate aging

Dr. Nate Evans, Director for Cybersecurity at the Daniel Felix Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science, stepped into the role this past summer and is dedicated to keeping DU’s cybersecurity curriculum on par with the latest industry standards.

The Daniel Felix Ritchie School of Computer Science and Engineering sent faculty to attend the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) Conference, which brings together over 500 faculty members from across the US to engage in professional development as educators.
