Dotted around four of New York’s five boroughs are 19 autonomous mini-meteorological stations established by The City College of New York-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 The City College of New York’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 The City College of New York’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

“Manganese Prime,” the latest chemically-powered shoebox sized-vehicle designed by City College of New York engineering students, placed fourth at AIChE's annual Chem-E-Car Competition® in Orlando, Florida, from a field of 42 foreign and domestic entries. The result maintains the City College Grove School of Engineering’s reputation as a top performer in the international event. Student teams qualify for the finals by excelling in regional competitions. Manganese Prime secured CCNY’s seventh consecutive trip to the finals –- held at the Hyatt Regency Orlando this year -- with a top four finish

The Grove School of Engineering at The City College of New York is a regional co-sponsor and host of the New York City Tech to Protect Challenge, a national hackathon designed to help emergency responders—including EMS, firefighters and police—accomplish their mission to serve and protect communities nationwide. The contest takes place from Nov. 1-3 and is open to the public. The event is one of ten in-person hackathons inviting participants to create technology solutions that will aid emergency responders in serving and protecting communities across the country.

In a huge boost to his quest to offer mobility to people with lower limb disabilities, City College of New York mechanical engineer Hao Su is the recipient of a $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It will advance his work on a hybrid soft exoskeleton that combines the advantages of rigid exoskeletons and textile-based exosuits to overcome lower-limb impairments, particularly in seniors. The grant will establish the Center of Assistive and Personal Robotics for Independent Living (APRIL) in the Grove School of Engineering to study assistive robotics to

Jeffrey Morris, director of the Benjamin Levich Institute for Physico-Chemical Hydrodynamics at The City College of New York, is the recipient of the American Physical Society’s 2019 Stanley Corrsin Award. The prize recognizes a recent achievement of especially high impact and significance, a particular discovery, or an innovation in the field. Morris is cited by the College Park, Maryland-based APS for: “outstanding contributions that elucidate the microscopic basis of the flow properties of suspensions, and their influence on macroscopic flow phenomena.” He will receive the award and present

The City College of New York’s Grove School of Engineering is offering a new Master’s Program in Data Science and Engineering to address the growing demand for data science and data engineering skills in government and industry. The new program, administered by the Computer Science Department, prepares students to analyze, process, visualize and apply machine learning and computational statistics to problems in engineering, science, and many other disciplines. A key feature of the program is the required capstone master’s project or thesis. Within the program, students will apply the data
