The family of William F. Konig, Jr. (1934 – 2018), an outstanding scholar-athlete from T��ɫ��Ƶ’s Class of 1955 who went on to pursue a successful career as an engineer and inventor, announces an endowed scholarship in his memory in the Grove School of Engineering. The William F. Konig, Jr. Scholarship, will support a student in the Grove School’s Department of Electrical Engineering. A standout pitcher and the 1954 Frederic Kramer Baseball Award MVP at CCNY, Konig had been offered three contracts by minor-league clubs before earning his B.S. in EE from the Grove School. He

Since 1929, the New York Water Environment Association (NYWEA), an organization of water quality professionals, has served the public by promoting sustainable water quality management through science, education, and training. This year, it’s awarded T��ɫ��Ƶ student chapter first place for outstanding performance among NYWEA college affiliates. Comprising some 40 undergraduate and graduate students in CCNY’s Grove School of Engineering, the chapter was recognized at NYWEA’s 97th annual meeting in mid-Manhattan for its unrivaled approach to promoting knowledge about

For the third-year running, members of T��ɫ��Ƶ’s STEM Institute are winners of the Congressional App Challenge in New York’s 13th District. The triumphant CCNY team comprised (all 11th graders unless indicated]: • Aarush Kumar (Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics); • Jett Rosado (NYC Lab School; • Srinath Neelamagam (Townsend Harris High School); and • Trinity Parris (10th grader, Convent of the Sacred Heart). They designed the app EMTY to help users gain more control over their commute, hopefully making it faster. The quartet participated in last summer’s STEM

Anil K. Agrawal, Herbert G. Kayser Professor of Civil Engineering at T��ɫ��Ƶ is the recipient of the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) 2025 Moisseiff Award. The honor is for his paper “ Reliability-Based Framework for Structural Robustness Evaluation of Bridges,” published in the ASCE Journal of Bridge Engineering, April 2024. The paper proposes a novel robustness evaluation approach that is suited for short, medium and long-span bridges. A significant advantage of this approach is its ability to account for, and estimate, structural robustness corresponding to

Last fall, T��ɫ��Ƶ’s STEM Institute partnered with Lectec, an innovative STEM education company founded by engineers who want to change how students experience STEM. Luke St. Amand, co-founder of Lectec, taught at the CCNY STEM Institute in the fall, leading students through a hands-on engineering and entrepreneurship curriculum where they built electric vehicles, learned about manufacturing, and explored real-world applications of STEM. Now, Lectec is set to appear on ABC network’s Shark Tank, 8 p.m. on Feb. 7, to showcase the same cutting-edge educational tools used in

Naresh Devineni, professor of civil engineering at T��ɫ��Ƶ and a water systems and hydroclimate expert, is the recipient of a $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a holistic research and training program for its RENEW (Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce) initiative. The outcome will be to prepare a workforce that can respond to extreme natural hazards. From CCNY’s Grove School of Engineering, Devineni will lead the three-year project. Other faculty from CCNY include Te Pei and Hansong Tang from Civil Engineering, Shakila Merchant from CUNY

The University Transportation Research Center (UTRC) at T��ɫ��Ƶ is partnering with the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) on two transformative transportation initiatives supported by $16 million in federal funding. The cutting-edge projects promise to revolutionize urban mobility and infrastructure management through advanced artificial intelligence and smart technology solutions. NYC DOT is one of seven recipients nationwide to receive funding through the U.S. Department of Transportation's Congestion Relief Grant Program. Their $11.6m award will fund

“VitaVroom,” the latest incarnation of student-designed, chemically-powered shoebox sized-vehicles from T��ɫ��Ƶ’s Grove School of Engineering, placed fourth at AIChE's annual Chem-E-Car Competition® in San Diego, California, from a field of 51 foreign and domestic entries. The result maintains the Grove School’s reputation as a top performer in the international event. Student teams qualify for the finals by excelling in regional competitions. VitaVroom secured CCNY’s trip to the finals –- held at the San Diego Convention Center -- with a top four finish at the AIChE Mid

Water-responsive materials exist everywhere in nature, but transforming these natural materials into sustainably sourced high energy engineered materials requires a fundamental understanding of how they work. Now a groundbreaking discovery by City College of New York researchers from the Grove School of Engineering unravels the connection between water and surfaces to engineer water responsive properties. The experts, including chemical engineers Raymond Tu and Xi Chen, mechanical engineer Honghui Yu, and postdoctoral associate Darjan Podbevsek (power and process engineering), determined how

A trailblazing fluid mechanics project led by City College of New York Grove School of Engineering Professor T aehun Lee is one of 16 initiatives nationally awarded supercomputing time at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DoE) Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC). They will pursue advances in areas ranging from quantum chemistry to clean energy technologies to AI for science. The Lee project, “High-Fidelity Simulations of Helium-Air Mixing in High-Temperature Gas Reactor Cavities,” will use the
