Plastination - it's the new buzzword surrounding anatomical research, and its implications could mean everything for the future of biological engineers. See inside for all the details on the science of preservation.

Welcome to Colorado Engineer Magazine

Wow, this past year has really flown by. I never dreamed that CEM would come as far as it has come, and that I would be given an honor in being part of it. It's definitely been a rollercoaster ride at times, but our young staff has been amazing. It has been an absolute privilede to grow and learn with them, all the while continuing the stellar record of the publication that has been left to us. It isn't often that someone gets to work on a magazine like CEM with his good friends - I really count this last year as one of the best experiences of my life.

Given the success of our staff, we have reached a decision: it is time to take CEM in a new direction. What exactly this entails, I will leave to your imagination (for the time being); however, through much debate and discussion, our staff has decided that it is time to transform and mold CEM into a new entity. Not to worry - our same award winning dedication will be directed to our content. We believe that it is just time to make our mark on the magazine.

Look for these changes in the Fall 2006 issue!

In other news, we are pleased to announce the winners of our first ever CEM writing contest: Samuel Berngard (1st), Brian Taylor (2nd), and Cédric Wane (3rd). These articles can be found in the current issue of CEM.

So Long, Fare Well...

I want to thank everyone who has stood behind our staff over this past school year. We really appreciate the support, advice, and wise council - it has made us into who we are today.

Enjoy the new issue, have a wonderful summer, and we'll see you next year. Cheers!
