The Grove School of Engineering’s civil engineering department at T��ɫ��Ƶ is the recipient of a Centennial Award from the American Society of Civil Engineer’s (ASCE) Metropolitan Section. The honor recognizes the department’s “significant contributions to the civil engineering profession” and its work to help build the city over the past century. The Metropolitan Section is commemorating its centennial with the theme: “A Tribute to the New York Metropolitan Engineering Community: Celebrating a Century of Achievements.” The award to CCNY lauds the college’s engineering

T��ɫ��Ƶ’s Maria C. Tamargo, professor of chemistry in the Division of Science and doctoral faculty in electrical engineering at The Grove School of Engineering, is an elected Member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Class of 2020. She is recognized for forging the way toward an inclusive science and engineering research community and for contributions to molecular-beam epitaxy of semiconductor materials. The induction ceremony took place virtually on October 4, 2020. "It was very inspiring to see how seriously the academy sees its role as an expert body that

T��ɫ��Ƶ’s Akira Kawaguchi, chair of the Department of Computer Science at The Grove School of Engineering, is named the 2019 NYC Tech Innovator from the NYC Tech Talent Pipeline. Kawaguchi and his team are recognized for their efforts in doubling the number of students graduating annually with tech-related bachelor’s degrees through the CUNY 2X Tech initiative. Under the initiative, CCNY was awarded $2.3 million, and Kawaguchi implemented the Computer Science Co-op Program, a collaboration with the Career and Professional Development Institute the two-semester-long program

Connecting the Dots (CTD) is a highly collaborative project between the flagship schools in the City University of New York (CUNY) system, the largest urban university system in the country, and the State University of New York (SUNY) system, the largest higher education system in the nation. T��ɫ��Ƶ’s Grove School of Engineering and the University at Buffalo’s collaboration has been funded by the National Science Foundation and is aimed at strengthening the proficiency of data science competencies and analytics among students pursuing an undergraduate engineering degree

T��ɫ��Ƶ proudly announces a $2.4 million gift to its Master's in Translational Medicine (MTM) program by Seymour and Pearl Moskowitz. The gift will have a profound impact on the success and growth of MTM, a five-year-old program that is a collaboration between the Grove School of Engineering and CUNY School of Medicine. In the past, the Moskowitzes generously donated scholarship money which allowed MTM to welcome its largest cohort of students to date. Mr. Moskowitz is a 1954 engineering graduate of CCNY. “This most generous gift from Seymour and Pearl Moskowitz allows to

Three undergraduates in T��ɫ��Ƶ’s Grove School of Engineering are recipients of 2019 Dwight David Eisenhower Transportation Fellowships from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The awards total $24,000. The program’s mission is to attract qualified students to the field of transportation and research, and advance transportation workforce development. The CCNY recipients are all seniors majoring in civil engineering. Their awards and research projects are: • Seydou Konate, an $8,000 fellowship to work with Dr. Anil Kumar K. Agrawal researching the application of

Aboard the Icebreaker Oden, a Swedish vessel on an Arctic expedition, a multidisciplinary group of scientists, filmmakers and students, including three City College of New York undergraduates, made a dismaying discovery in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. “Microplastics, a lot of them,” said Krystian Kopka, junior in CCNY’s Grove School of Engineering. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) defines microplastics as any type of plastic fragment that is less than 5 mm in length. Resistant to biodegradation, microplastics can break down to even smaller pieces that can

Dotted around four of New York’s five boroughs are 19 autonomous mini-meteorological stations established by T��ɫ��Ƶ-based NOAA Center for Earth System Sciences and Remote Sensing Technologies (NOAA CESSRST) and CUNY CREST Institute. This is part of CCNY’s singular response to the rising seas and extreme weather conditions in the city caused by climate change. Dubbed the NY-uHMT ( New York Urban Hydrometeorological Testbed) project, it is a one of a kind high-density hydro-meteorological weather network, according to the New York City Mayor’s Office of Recovery and

Student engineers from T��ɫ��Ƶ’s Grove School of Engineering received the top proposal score out of 141 institutions worldwide in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Design-Build-Fly 2020 competition. The #1 ranking was based on a proposal submitted by the City College AIAA student branch. It included the team management, conceptual design, and manufacturing and testing plans for the CCNY aircraft, “Brolic Beaver.” Participants in this first round came from across both the United States and the world. Institutions bested by CCNY include American

Dr. Rosemarie D. Wesson , associate dean for research in T��ɫ��Ƶ’s Grove School of Engineering , is among 443 new Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The honor is in recognition of their scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications. A chemical engineer, Wesson was specifically cited by AAAS for her “seminal contributions to the field of numerical analyses of polymer crystallization kinetics, technology, service to society, and support to education, women, and underrepresented minorities.” She
