Resolve Magazine: Volume 2, 2016

Electrifying Innovation

Welcome to the Fall 2016 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.

Lehigh’s “effortless” unleashing of interdisciplinary thinking manifests itself most obviously in our integrated undergraduate and master’s programs, which demonstrate our leadership in innovative approaches to education. These programs allow us to partner with Lehigh’s other Colleges at key intersection points, and sharpen our alignment with issues important to our external constituencies and highly relevant to our graduates and our research agendas. Innovation is also evident in so many other contexts around campus, including the Baker Institute’s constellation of entrepreneurship programs, the intellectual freedom embodied in the Mountaintop Initiative, and a rich spectrum of faculty-led research endeavors that dissolve traditional boundaries to solve grand challenges.

Researchers charge toward a cleaner, safer power infrastructure

Power is so essential to daily existence that, paradoxically, people often don’t think much about the commonplace wonder of flipping a switch that actuates an enormous, intertwined, and complex set of systems—production, transmission, distribution, and control—and brings to life all manner of technology. According to Lehigh ISE associate professor Larry Snyder, who plays a key role in Lehigh’s Integrated Networks for Electricity (INE) research cluster, the key is to integrate and capitalize on innovation from across these interconnected disciplines in order to ultimately solve the complex challenges of modernizing global power infrastructures.

Trailblazing innovation

Known for innovating in the world of entrepreneurial education, Lehigh launched its own startup, of sorts, in the summer of 2012. This startup doesn’t produce goods or services. Instead, it turns out alumni who will go on to create such goods and services themselves – or help others to do so – in a well informed and highly innovative way.
