For families devastated by hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, or a host of other extreme events, the technologies you explore and develop at Iowa State and in your career can make all the difference in the world.

Maybe you’ve seen the tornado simulations of Iowa State aerospace engineers on The History Channel. Data from those experiments can be used by mechanical and construction engineers to design and build wind-resistant structures.

As ocean levels rise, civil engineers will be called upon to defend coastal cities from flooding. And software engineers must develop computational tools that not only can help predict extreme events, but that can survive them as well.

Make your own deep impact

Aerospace engineering Professor Bong Wie established the Asteroid Deflection Research Center at Iowa State to bring researchers from around the world to develop asteroid deflection technologies.
