✨ Combining technical knowledge and passion for community impact ✨

Marquette engineering and Marquette College of Health Sciences occupational therapy students joined forces again this month to provide adapted toys for children with varying abilities!

2026 marks the fifth year of “Inclusive Play: Toys for All” build days, a collaboration between Marquette University and Penfield Children's Center focused on bringing accessible play to families near and far.

Over two Saturday sessions, interdisciplinary teams of students and community volunteers rewired hundreds of off-the-shelf toys with added therapy switches. These simple modifications can unlock learning, development and play for children — especially those with developmental delays or limited dexterity — while giving students and volunteers hands-on skills and interdisciplinary experiences that spark their passions.

Thank you to our many collaborators and supporters for helping make a difference for families in need.

Daniel Ackom, a PhD student in the Marquette and Medical College of Wisconsin Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, will receive a Young Investigators Award at the 2026 American Epilepsy Society (AES) Annual Meeting later this year.

Ackom’s abstract was selected from more than 1,500 submissions and focuses on children with epilepsy whose conventional clinical MRI scans show no identifiable structural lesion that could explain their epilepsy. The same work was also selected for a platform presentation in the meeting’s Surgery/Neuroimaging session.

In a Q&A, Ackom shares more about his research to better predict medication responses in children with non-lesional epilepsy. Learn more: https://mcw.marquette.edu/biomedical-engineering/news/ackom-investigator-award-26.php

How can faith shape the way engineers make decisions and understand their work to serve communities?

Engineering students, faculty, staff and alumni gathered last week for an open-ended dialogue on that question and many more. As part of a new conversation series hosted by the Opus College of Engineering, “Be Not Afraid – Engineering with Faith and Purpose,” the Opus College is creating space for students to explore the big picture questions related to their vocation as engineers.

This session’s guests included Ryan Serfas, SJ, eng ’19, and Evan Routhieaux, eng ’26. Serfas, now serving at Marquette University High School, discussed discerning his call to the Jesuit priesthood while studying mechanical engineering at Marquette. Routhieaux, a recent graduate of mechanical engineering at Marquette now working at Modine, discussed how his faith journey intersected with the career decisions he encountered as a student.

This conversation series will continue through the academic year as a way for students to step away from their routines and gather for shared reflection and dialogue.

Dr. John Moore, associate professor of mechanical engineering at Marquette, has received a research grant from the U.S. Army Research office to develop more efficient processes to test new high-performance materials.

Moore will partner with the U.S. Army Research Office to develop a process by which a new material equation of state (EOS) is developed through computational simulations and verified through additional testing. By determining a material’s velocity, or how it moves, through relatively simpler tests, Moore’s team will be able to utilize physics simulations and an algorithm to establish the EOS. The process concludes with verification of the determined EOS.

🌟 Engineering co-op and internship spotlight 🌟

Meet Adrian Ramirez, a mechanical engineering major who recently worked with Johnson Controls in Glendale, Wisconsin as a supply chain intern.

“I learned the importance of being able to adapt through cross-functional teams and networking. This facilitated my work and allowed me to gain experience in Supply Chain alongside how engineers operate in a global organization to produce energy and cost-efficient products.”

Back on campus and in Milwaukee, Adrian is involved in Marquette’s chapter of Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) and volunteers at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School with their FIRST Robotics team.

When companies are looking for engineers ready to collaborate, lead and succeed from day one, they turn to Marquette 🦅

Industry partners from around the country came to campus this week to connect with Marquette students at the 2026 Career and Internship Fair STEM Day! After weeks of career fair prep and networking events, Marquette’s career-ready engineers got to share their passions and experiences while exploring co-op, internship and full-time opportunities.

Thank you to our industry partners for joining us on campus to meet rising engineering leaders. As always, we enjoyed seeing many familiar alumni faces on the other side of the table!

Best of luck to our students for those exciting follow up interviews and next steps!
