We had a fantastic showing from our MAE students and faculty at the AIAA/ASME Regional Symposium 👏

Several students presented their work here, and we are so proud of the strong participation from the newly revived ASME chapter. Out of 38 total presentations, 16 were from OSU‑MAE, with even more representing OSU overall. So proud of everyone who took the time to participate and represent the department so well.

Nice work, all!
