Temple Students on CBS for Eco-Friendly Time Machine
September 26th, 2011
Congratulations to the CoE students behind this: Bayan Khalighi, Robert E. Stark, and Tan Ha. There were a number of other students that contributed to the development of the first version of this that was shown at Earth Day, and they deserve credit as well.
Nish Patel, the student interviewed, is a student in the Fox School of Business and Management. He has done an outstanding job promoting this and raising money for the current demo.
It is great to see Temple students getting such recognition. Their senior design project should make an even bigger splash… but you will have to learn about that on Nov. 17…
Posted in News & Announcements New Program Expands STEM Education throughout PA
August 31st, 2011
Temple Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Richard Englert, U.S. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead and Jamie Bracey, director of STEM education, outreach and research in the College of Engineering, cut the ribbon to officially launch the Pennsylvania Math Engineering Science Achievement (MESA) initiative during a ceremony at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
Sixty middle and high school students from the Philadelphia School District, along with their parents, joined university leaders, top Navy commanders — including U.S. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead — and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter in the ribbon cutting, which celebrated Temple receiving the license to bring the national award-winning MESA program to Pennsylvania.
“The launch of the MESA Pennsylvania, and our investment in youth you see here today is just the beginning of a carefully-crafted movement to partner with families, school districts, elected officials, community leaders and companies to build a solid STEM workforce that we will need to compete economically in a global environment,” said Temple Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Richard Englert. “Temple has been a key leader in supporting community efforts to bring high-quality STEM education to the students of Philadelphia and the surrounding region.”
The MESA initiative is designed to increase the number of scientists, technologists, engineers and related professionals who are able to graduate from a two- or four-year institution; and to diversify American students who achieve advanced degrees leading to research and development to create new products and to support the nation’s defense. Over the past 40 years, nearly 70 percent of MESA students — many of them minorities and women — have entered STEM fields.

Temple News: Engineering students launch experiments on NASA rocket
July 8th, 2011
Watching from Wallops Island Flight Facility last month as a year’s worth of his scientific work lifted off into a clear Virginia sky, Donovan Bolger could only stand back and marvel.
“I was in awe at first — just the sheer speed of the rocket taking off,” said the recent Temple electrical and computer engineering graduate. “Then I realized that something I worked on all year long was on it. I had almost forgotten that that was what we had come here for.”
Bolger was among nine Temple engineering students who spent the past year designing and building two experiments that were launched June 23 aboard the two-stage solid booster rocket Terrier Orion II. The projects were part of RockSat, a NASA and Colorado Space Grant Consortium program that prepares students to design payloads for space flight.

May 31st, 2011
Mechanical Engineering faculty and staff would like to congratulate Mr. Kaveh Laksari (PhD student in the Biomechanics Laboratory) and Ms. Giuseppina Lamberti (PhD student in the Biofluidics Laboratory) for receiving prestigious pre-doctoral fellowships from the American Heart Association. These fellowships will fully support their PhD research work of these two students during the next two years. Kaveh and Giuseppina are the fourth and fifth graduate students in the Mechanical Engineering Department to receive these prestigious national fellowships during the last few years.
Congratulations to CEE students for winning the Library Prize for Undergraduate Research
May 26th, 2011
Congratulations to CEE students Tom Gallen, Jen Huber and Paloma Vila for winning the Library Prize for Undergraduate Research on Sustainability & the Environment for their Senior Design project.
The Library Prize for Undergraduate Research on Sustainability & the Environment was established by Temple Libraries and Gale, a leading organization in e-research and educational publishing, to encourage undergraduate research and projects in the area of sustainability. Winning entries which receive a $1000 prize, were judged on (1) originality, depth, breadth, or sophistication in the use of information resources; (2) exceptional ability to select, evaluate, synthesize and utilize information resources in the creation of a project in any media; and (3) contribution to our understanding of sustainability, or to improving or developing sustainable practices.
The system that Tom, Jen and Paloma designed consists of rain gutters to capture stormwater from the roof of a house and direct it to a sedimentation pond where particulate matter will be removed. From the sedimentation pond, the water will flow to a constructed wetland where native plants and soil will be used to remove metals and other contaminants. The cleansed water will be stored in the constructed wetland and also in a secondary storage tank and will be delivered to the irrigation system of a neighboring urban farm through a pumping system designed by the students. The system will reduce the amount of polluted runoff discharged to the Philadelphia storm sewers (and thus the amount of polluted runoff discharged to local streams); reduce the demand on the potable water supply system (which had been used to irrigate the farm); and increase the ability of a local farm to economically provide fresh food to neighboring residents.

Temple News: High school science fair leads to engineering success
May 26th, 2011
From the Temple Newsroom:
Electrical and Computer Engineering’s Sudarshan Kandi was the first recipient of the Temple University/George Washington Carver Science Fair Academic Tuition Scholarship. A resident of Northeast Philadelphia who has attained a 3.97 GPA, Kandi is also the recipient of the John L. Rumpf Award, for outstanding students with potential for success in engineering. Following graduation, Kandi will go to work as an associate system performance engineer for Verizon Wireless.
