With the College of Engineering career fair approaching, many students are busy polishing their resumes and perfecting their elevator pitch. But for most, the process can still be daunting. Mechanical engineering student and Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania native Jack Markussen found himself in this exact predicament.  The summer between his sophomore and junior years, Jack landed an opportunity at Lockheed Martin as Combat Systems Integration Engineer, where he worked on the Aegis Combat System predominantly used in U.S. Naval destroyers. "I chose Lockheed Martin because I wanted...

Owls,Welcome to the spring semester. We have all been through a tumultuous period in our history, so I hope you approach this new semester with an eye toward staying safe, healthy and taking time for yourself. That includes taking advantage of the college and university resources for time management, career services and counseling, should you need them. 2021 closed after celebrating more impressive news from students, faculty and alumni from the College of Engineering. Student groups found ways to complete impressive service projects. Faculty earned new research awards and ...

Now that President Biden has signed the $1 trillion dollar infrastructure package into law, much of the news coverage has been on the perceived enormity of the investment. While $1 trillion is substantial, continuing to ignore our infrastructure comes at a far greater cost. A report published earlier this year by the American Society of Civil Engineers estimated that our nation's aging infrastructure, coupled with continued disinvestment, would cause "the loss of $10 trillion in GDP and lead to a decline of more than $23 trillion in business productivity cumulatively over the...

Rich smells of pizza and pasta dough waft through Rome's cobblestone streets. Among these international delights and the low hum of motorbikes sits Clare Korbisch. Originally from Collegeville, the junior industrial...

As main campus has continued to transform in recent years, Temple outlined an ambitious but necessary goal as part of its updated Climate Action Plan released in 2019: becoming carbon neutral by 2050. A key component of this push? Retrofit current buildings and communal spaces to incorporate updated sustainability features, such as green roofs. Green roofs aim to provide better stormwater management and improve temperature efficiency within the building are coupled with lush greenery—equal parts form and function.

In the wake of Hurricane Ida—among the debates on climate change and disinvestment in infrastructure—lies another reminder: the fragility of critical systems is not confined to natural disasters. Threats can materialize from the digital space to impact many of the same systems. A recent partnership between faculty at the College of Engineering, College of Science...

To the Temple Engineering community,As we prepare to welcome the newest class of Temple students this fall, I wanted to reiterate the university's recent message about keeping our communities safe. Whether you are a current student, faculty, staff, alumni or friend of the college, please refer to the latest university guidance when coming to campus. While there is much to look forward to, as all of us seek to nurture this fragile return to a robust on-campus experience, the pandemic is still present. However, this should also ground us in the importance of engineering. The...

Dr. Evangelia Bellas was recently awarded the prestigious NSF CAREER research award, which supports early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as an academic role model in research and education. She is the fourth College of Engineering faculty member since 2019—and the first bioengineering assistant professor—to win the NSF CAREER award. In this particular proposal, both for the research and educational portion, Dr. Bellas put the focus on fat. On the research side, Dr. Bellas proposed how blood and lymphatic vessels in fat tissue can support or hinder...
