West Point Civil and Mechanical Engineering

For this #InspirationMonday, I want to highlight the incredible work happening in our West Point Civil and Mechanical Engineering Department! The Class of 2028 will be able to able to select a NEW Aerospace Engineering major this year. Stay tuned as we educate the next generation of US Army leaders! #WestPoint #GoArmy #BeAllYouCanBe United States Military Academy at West Point | Steve Gilland | West Point Association of Graduates | U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

?????????????????????? ?????? NEW ?????????????????? ?????????????????????? ??????????! Get ready for this hands-on program that blends #science, #technology, and real-world flying experiences. With roots in West Point’s #aviation legacy, cadets will dive into the theory, design, and testing of aircraft and spacecraft, educating the next generation of US Army leaders and aerospace innovators.? ?? From flying aboard Cessna 206H airplanes and UH-72 Lakota helicopters with Army aviators to internships at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Boeing and beyond, this program will prepare our future officers for complex warfare through one of the fastest-advancing engineer fields. ?? ?????? ?????? ?????????? ???? ???????? ?????????????

Cleared for landing…??

Happy #NationalEngineeringDay! ????? - - Shane Reeves | AARON HILL | United States Military Academy at West Point

Boodler’s Pizza ?? ??CE350 Infrastructure Engineering wrapped up energy density & efficiency lessons with a hands-on Boodler’s Pizza Lab. ?? Cadets learned to size generators, gauge fuel density, and, of course, enjoy some well-earned slices! Thank you to Mr. Rod Wilson (CIO-G6) for insights on split-single phase electricity and interior wiring with our Power Display Board! ?? Shane Reeves | United States Military Academy at West Point

Honoring all who served. ????

From theory to practice! ?? ?? Cadets from the Programmable Payload capstone team traveled to Moffett Field, CA, to explore the future of autonomous cargo delivery. ?? Cadets held a preliminary design review for their innovative center-of-gravity shifting device, advancing research to push UAS capabilities even further. ?? Alongside their mission, Cadets visited the first and second largest wind tunnels in the world, as well as several other preeminent research facilities within the NASA Ames footprint!

Honoring 20 years of dedication with COL Rich Melnyk ?? As he completes his final flight labs today, we’re looking back at his journey that began in 2004. With over 1200 hours flown and more than 130 labs completed, COL Melnyk has inspired countless cadets. The aircraft and uniforms may have changed, but his commitment to delivering exceptional aeronautical engineering experiences has remained consistent. Swipe to see COL Rich Melnyk during one of his first flight labs! ??? Shane Reeves | United States Military Academy at West Point #goarmy #beallyoucanbe #academicexcellence #beyondtheclassroom

Powering the future! ?? ??Honored to host Nobel Laureate Dr. Steven Chu— former U.S. Secretary of Energy, who shared his expert insights on the future of energy! ? ?? As part of the SIRCC Lecture Series, Dr. Chu engaged with cadets and broke down the exciting innovations and policy challenges that are faced in creating a sustainable energy future. ? His visionary perspective on how to power the world was nothing short of inspiring! ?? #EnergyActionMonth Shane Reeves | United States Military Academy at West Point | US Army | Stanford University
