The Herff College of Engineering proudly hosted the American Society for Engineering Education Southeastern Conference March 8-10 at the University of Memphis. 

Nearly 700 students from across the Mid-South showed up to eDay 2026 at the Herff College of Engineering. 

As part of CAESER's research into the Memphis Aquifer, Brooke Lafferty drilled hundreds of feet into the ground in Shelby Forest to examine water taken from fault zones.

The Herff College of Engineering Graduate Programs Office extends its sincere appreciation to Dr. Kevin Berisso, Associate Professor of Engineering Technology, for his dedicated service as the College’s Director of Graduate Studies and Graduate Coordinator for Engineering Technology. We are pleased to announce the following leadership appointments. 

Dean Okoli and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs & Administration Dr. Amy de Jongh Curry completed a transfer agreement with Bermuda College in October, getting even more than they bargained for out of their island adventure.

Sixteen members of the Herff College of Engineering celebrated career milestones in February 2026, including 11 with a decade or more of service. But nobody in the group has been inspiring the next generation of engineers longer than Dr. Alfredo Ramirez. Ramirez, a research assistant professor in Herff's Electrical and Computer Engineering department and a member of the Center for Applied Earth Science and Engineering Research at the University of Memphis, celebrated 40 years of service in February.
