Civil & Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University

Two new online graduate certificates in artificial intelligence are available through Carnegie Mellon University. ?? Managing AI Systems, through Carnegie Mellon University - Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy, aims to train managers who can bridge the gap between the technical experts who design AI tools and the organizational leader who can benefit from utilizing these tools. ?? AI Engineering for Digital Twins & Analytics, through Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering, aims to equip civil engineers with principles and techniques to close the loop between physical and digital worlds. Both programs are offered entirely online, so students can learn these transformative skills from anywhere at their own pace.

Thanks to SENSIT Technologies, students in Civil & Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University are exploring air quality around the Oakland neighborhood, specifically along Craig St. Albert Presto got us started by talking about his vast body of work with air quality sensing -- the science of sensing, the public health implications, including environmental justice issues. The students then explored the sensors and the data they generate. Next they studied combustion engine vehicular emissions to identify which molecular signal to focus on and pontificated on where to place our RAMP sensors. Korawich and I will deploy the sensors atop Carnegie Mellon University' s Craig St buildings this week!

"If you forgot something at the store, getting that delivered by drone is easier, faster, and better for the climate than taking your vehicle," Costa Samaras told NBC News in response to drone delivery services launching in Silicon Valley. https://lnkd.in/eWSR7i-7 CMU Scott Institute for Energy Innovation

Many thanks to the alumni and families in Istanbul who could join us for a wonderful evening of networking, music and university and college updates from William H. Sanders, Dean of Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering and Burcu Akinci, Head of the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. We are grateful for the support of the CMU Türkiye Alumni Association and a special thanks to Halil Kulluk for his leadership of the association and to all the board members Necla Pekta?, Mete Demirci, Rasim Akdogan, Hande Didem Altop, Naci Can, Emrecan Soylemez, Gamze Gumuslu-Gur, Deniz A. Duygu. Thank you also to Gena Henry for her and her team’s collaboration to help engage CMU’s College of Engineering alumni in Türkiye and around the globe. And also importantly, thanks to those behind the scenes without whose help these events will be possible particularly Kelly McQuoid and Giovanna Tatananni. #cmu #cmualumni #collegeofengineering #CMUTürkiyeAlumni #TartanProud

Rising temperatures are not only affecting our people, but also our infrastructure. When extreme heat can cause airport runway damage, cracking and buckling of roads and rail lines, and electricity transmission line and distribution system issues, we need to "ensure infrastructure can respond to changes in the intensity and duration of extreme heat events," Costa Samaras, professor of civil and environmental engineering and director of the CMU Scott Institute for Energy Innovation, told American Society of Civil Engineers magazine. https://lnkd.in/e77A_hUq

New research from Carnegie Mellon team including CEE's Corey H. and Destenie Nock, PhD on how new-age mobility systems are combatting racial discrimination in ride hailing.

CEE’s Industry Partnership Program creates a pipeline between our students and leading engineering companies. Our students have opportunities to connect directly with employers looking to hire engineers with their skill set, and our partners have access to our graduates who are equipped with a state-of-the-art CMU education. I’m proud to share that this program grew significantly over the summer, welcoming three new partners: the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Gilbane Building Company, and GAI Consultants, Inc. Thank you all for your collaboration and we’re excited to work with you! https://lnkd.in/exZkujMU

Our Industry Partner Key Environmental Inc. hosted a lounge takeover on campus yesterday, meeting 1-1 with CEE students to talk about their organization, current projects, entry level jobs, and internship opportunities. Lounge takeovers are one of the benefits of our Industry Partnerships, a pipeline program that connects our students directly to engineering companies. To learn more, visit https://lnkd.in/ePRVqcei

The College of Engineering announced the selection of eight new endowed chairs, including Amit Acharya, Kaushik Dayal, Sean Qian, and Costa Samaras from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Congratulations to our faculty and all new chairs on this achievement! Special recognition was also extended to Department Head Burcu Akinci and Professor Greg Lowry for releasing their existing professorships to be passed onto others. Akinci and Lowry are now Hamerschlag University Professors, named after CMU's first president. https://lnkd.in/ejYk8WZ9
