Welcome to the spring semester

by Keya Sadeghipour
January 18
To the Temple Engineering community,As the calendar turns to February, the coming days bring both hope and continued concern as we welcome you back for the spring semester. Nearly one year ago, the College of Engineering community, like the world around us, faced a fundamental shift from the ravages of COVID-19. This shift reframed how each of us approach learning, working and living.We hope that in the not-too-distant future we will be able to engage in normal on-campus activities, as we always have. For now, please continue to follow this page for guidance from the university...

Virtual adaptation: one student’s Air Force Research internship experience

by Eric Horvath
December 03
Like many Temple students, Yao Sedzro followed a winding path to college: born in Togo, Sedzro came to the United States in 2007 and became a citizen 11 years later. This semester, his internship with the Air Force Research Lab was disrupted by the pandemic—but he still found a way to complete the experience virtually. The experience was piqued, at least in part, by my family."My father has a master's in agricultural engineering and a PhD in agricultural economics, and my mother worked as a kindergarten teacher," Sedzro said. "What got me interested in engineering was...

How engineering student organizations are planning for the fall

by Eric Horvath
August 26
Student professional organizations at Temple are a great way to engage with fellow students and find your place as an engineer. This is particularly true during the start of any semester, when groups map out their on-campus events, service and networking opportunities for the coming year.Like many organizations, engineering student groups have pivoted in their planning. Two groups, Temple Engineers Without Borders, the Temple chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers, are among those groups taking much of their work mostly virtual."Our club has always been very small...

Constructing change as an engineering intern

by Eric Horvath
August 11
In a world turned upside down by a global pandemic, the vast majority of people have been living a life augmented by quarantine at home. For Kadmiel Kelome, a construction engineering technology major, a second-year internship with Turner Construction proved to be quite a change."Every day is something new," Kelome said. "I've never had a mundane moment when I'm at work."Kelome added that his father, a mechanical engineer by trade in Benin, Africa, taught math and science shortly after moving to America with his mother in 1990."He molded engineering into me at a young age by...
