I am pleased to report the 2017 – 2018 scholarly activities of the faculty and students of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Kansas.

During the biennium our 20 faculty members authored or co-authored 130 refereed journal articles and book chapters. Four new books were published. The faculty secured nine patents, and founded four private companies in their efforts to translate laboratory discoveries to products and services for the mar- ketplace.

Collectively, the Mechanical Engineering faculty hold 15 Fellow appointments in various professional organizations. Importantly, three faculty colleagues are now Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), out of a total 25 AAAS Fellows at the entire University. In addition to these important recognitions bestowed by their professional peers, the scholarly works produced by the Mechanical Engineering faculty and students were cited nearly 13,000 times during 2017 – 2018 (source: Google Scholar). This impres- sive number of citations over a two-year period demonstrates the far-reaching and contemporary influence of our publications and patents on researchers, students, and practitioners worldwide.

A hallmark of our department is collaboration with industry. In addition to working with industry sponsors on various research projects, our faculty members have advised hundreds of undergraduate students on 40 industry sponsored capstone projects over the past two years. I am proud to acknowledge the undergraduates who worked so hard on these projects, as well as the sponsors from industry with whom they collaborated.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is committed to the generation, dis- semination, and application of new knowledge. I hope you enjoy learning more about the individual contributions of my faculty colleagues and their student advisees in the pages that follow.

Sincerely,
