The Sky is the Limit
Welcome to the Spring 2018 issue of Resolve—a magazine dedicated to research and educational innovation in the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science at Lehigh University.
In this issue of our magazine, we share exciting news of transformational activities taking shape in and around the Rossin College. These activities center around the College’s top strategic priorities—interdisciplinary research and experiential learning—both of which bring together teams of our faculty members, students, and partners to address challenging research problems and to provide productive learning environments.
Based on results of the College’s faculty-led Envisioning Process, Lehigh is has launched three new Interdisciplinary Research Institutes (IRIs) that will enable the University to solidify and further develop its strengths in key areas, and to lead on the national and international stage.

An Interdisciplinary Hat Trick
Very few research funding opportunities are as competitive as the National Science Foundation’s annual Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program. In the 2017 MRI cycle, Lehigh University took three shots on goal—and buried all three in the back of the net.
Inquiry, impact and the value of 'doing stuff'
Traditionally, “mountaintop experience” refers to a life-changing moment of transcendence. In the airy, open spaces of Building C on Lehigh University’s Mountaintop campus, the term has seemed appropriate since 2013. That’s when Lehigh launched the Mountaintop Initiative, a then-experimental program in which students work across disciplines on independent projects and inquiries guided by personal passions and ideas about how they can change the world.
Experience of a lifetime
The photo anchoring a web page for Lehigh University’s Baja SAE team ostensibly shows four impressively large trophies—a collection suggesting a tale of competition and victory. But the picture’s other details suggest an even deeper, more multilayered story. The prizes perch on a hand-built, dune-buggy-like, off-road vehicle framed by roll bars and sporting fat, gnarly tires.
