The Master of Engineering in structural engineering program at Lehigh, led by professor of practice Jennifer Gross, PE, was started in 2008. The 10-month, 30-credit graduate program attracts students from all over the world and is enhanced by robust industry support.
Swetha Chandrasekar is an engineering graduate student pursuing her Ph.D. in Bioengineering. She earned her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering at Rutgers University's School of Engineering.
Chandrasekar came to Lehigh with an extensive amount of experience, including research in tissue engineering at Drexel University, studies in bioplastics and synthetic biology with Utah State's Biological Engineering Department, bioMems and Electrical Engineering at Purdue University's Birck Nanotechnology center, and research in biochemistry and protein purification at Princeton University.
Libraries are hearts that pump knowledge into the university community, and as such are important pillars of student life. The Linderman and FML libraries provide an alluring environment to the university's diverse student body for research, study and collaboration.
A good student doesn’t necessarily equate to a good researcher, says Eugenio Schuster, a professor of mechanical engineering and mechanics in Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science.
Onur Denizhan ’15G, a doctoral student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics, is the Spring 2020 recipient of the Rossin College’s Graduate Leadership and Service Award.
The award recognizes a student who exhibits leadership through service as a means of improving the quality of graduate student life in the engineering college and making the graduate experience better for all.
There’s a reason why chemical engineering major Sophia Mayone ’21 became interested in science at a young age.
“My youngest brother was born with a chronic illness,” she says. “I was eight years old, but started asking questions about biology, cells, genes, and why he had this disease.
“Because I started asking those types of questions early in life, I feel like it stuck with me. My interest in science, technology, and studying diseases grew from there.”
Bioengineering student and multi-sport athlete Miranda Royds ’21 has a daily ritual that helps her maintain perspective and keeps her upbeat.
"I have a journal and at the end of every day, I think about three things I'm grateful for," she says. "It could be little things, but it keeps you in the right mindset and helps you realize that even if you had a bad day, it wasn't that bad."
A team of Rossin College students took first place in the 2019 Engineering Student Design Competition—aka Big Beam Competition—held annually by the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI).
The national competition, which marked its 19th year, teaches college students important structural engineering skills in an applied learning environment they will use throughout their precast concrete construction careers.
