This summer, Rossin College faculty—including Dean Steve DeWeerth and CSE Professor Mike Spear, pictured above—and a few student volunteers stepped into the shoes of future first-year engineers during a hands-on FYRE Boot Camp led by Lehigh Design Labs experts Brian Slocum and Kelly Zona. The immersive experience served as a test run for the new First-Year Rossin Engineering (FYRE) practicum, which emphasizes interdisciplinary skills and active learning.
Recent leadership changes have been announced across three of Lehigh’s interdisciplinary endeavors.
As the new school year arrives, Pennsylvania teachers are knee-deep in lesson planning while preparing for a major shift: implementing the state's STEELS standards—which emphasize science, technology, engineering, environmental literacy, and sustainability—in time for full integration into K-12 classrooms by the start of the 2025-26 school year.
The Advanced Technology for Large Structural Systems (ATLSS) Engineering Research Center, a globally recognized leader in the development of resilient and sustainable infrastructure, and the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) Lehigh Experimental Facility, a National Science Foundation open-access shared use facility, at Lehigh University, today announced its sponsorship of the upcoming Ninth International Symposium on Life-Cycle Civil Engineering (IALCCE), hosted at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.
Lehigh’s Institute for Functional Materials and Devices (I-FMD) recently hosted its annual Lehigh Materials Symposium in Whitaker Laboratory. Each year, the symposium provides an opportunity for the Lehigh community to explore cutting-edge research and strategic directions for industrial R&D, while networking with academic and industry researchers.
