Mechanical Engineering

While engineers understand the fundamentals of the way liquid fuel behaves inside an engine, a vast number of variables make it difficult to predict its efficiency. The interplay of small fuel droplets and air impacts the performance of a variety of combustion engines — and it is a factor that a Baylor ECS professor has received a substantial award to study.

Heather Benoit, a senior mechanical engineer and program manager at M3 Design, Inc., in Austin, Texas, talks about her experience as a student at Baylor University and how her education prepared her for her dream career.

After completing his undergraduate education at Baylor, Ryan Malone, BSME 2002, worked his way through the ranks at bp, currently serving as the head of Capital Projects for the U.S. Deepwater Gulf of Mexico and Canada business units. He serves as Chief Transformation Officer (CTO) for those business regions, helping steward key initiatives to increase value and cash flow, facilitation of agile techniques to his teams, the deployment of digital assets and oversight of initiatives to help lower the carbon footprint of bp in the United States. 

Brian A. Garner, Ph.D., associate professor of mechanical engineering in Baylor's School of Engineering and Computer Science, honed and refined four developmental generations over nine years of his patented device that promises to give patients better access to the life-changing rhythms of a horse's gait.
