Re: Campaign: Zero Tolerance for Harassment, Aggressive Pressure or Intimidation

In April 2021, the MECH department community will start a campaign called “Zero Tolerance for Harassment.” Our community does not accept any harassment, aggressive pressure, or intimidation among students and faculty, College Lab Technical (CLT) staff, CUNY Office Administrative (COA) Staff in the MECH department as well as the College and University levels. We believe this campaign is helpful for working to prevent any inappropriate behavior around us.

If you support this campaign, please sign this form: https://forms.gle/BizyHCjhXmnQSRoYA

If you see something, please say something (or just email me at mnakamura@citytech.cuny.edu). I’m happy to hear any concerns from you.

Hi MECH and IND students

Professor Jay Deiner manages a recently funded project in 3D printing Li-ion batteries and he will accept one more undergraduate student to the research group. The plan for this semester would be a virtual project, 6 hours per week, $15/hr. If you are interested in this project, contact Professor Jay Deiner ( LDeiner@citytech.cuny.edu ).

Dear MECH&IND Student:

We hope your finals went smoothly and that you are looking forward to a joyful and safe winter break. Please know that we are here to help you as you make two important decisions.

1. Fall 2020 credit/no credit policy: (CR/NC) – Until Saturday, January 16, 2021, you can choose to convert one or more of your Fall 2020 letter grades. To ensure that you make the most advantageous choice so that you may keep moving forward to your degree and future goals, it is important to review the CR/NC policy and FAQs and to consult with an advisor before making a final decision.
2. Spring 2021 classes: Registering for the right classes in Spring 2021 will save you both time and money.  

The department of Mechanical Engineering Technology and Industrial Design Technology is pleased to invite you to join faculty advisors at a town hall meeting.
