This course in­tro­duces stu­dents to the field of in­dus­trial de­sign. It pro­vides a frame­work for the de­vel­op­ment of de­sign method­ol­ogy. Stu­dents will use com­put­ers to cre­ate vi­sual fea­tures of forms, con­fig­u­ra­tions, pat­terns, and or­na­ments in­volved in the prod­uct de­sign. Em­phases will be placed on the mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary ap­proach and the in­te­gra­tion of de­sign and en­gi­neer­ing. Stu­dents are re­quired to uti­lize the knowl­edge they learned to pro­duce var­i­ous de­sign pro­jects.

My Projects

Undergraduate Research

Un­der­grad­u­ate Re­search

Re­al­iz­ing the value of the re­search ex­pe­ri­ence at the un­der­grad­u­ate level, this pro­ject is com­mit­ted to fos­ter­ing re­search op­por­tu­ni­ties for City Tech stu­dents. Fac­ulty and stu­dents can use this pro­ject as a place to share an­nounce­ments about re­search op­por­tu­ni­ties, as well as a place to offer in­for­ma­tion about the ex­pe­ri­ences stu­dents and fac­ulty have had in their re­search en­deav­ors. A hand­book on ef­fec­tive men­tor­ing, de­vel­oped by the Un­der­grad­u­ate Re­search Com­mit­tee, is cur­rently avail­able for down­load.

Naka­mura’s re­search group based on Me­chan­i­cal En­gi­neer­ing De­part­ment in New York City Col­lege of Tech­nol­ogy (City Tech), The City Uni­ver­sity of New York (CUNY). This lab­o­ra­tory is a pro­fes­sional re­search unit, not a stu­dent club, but opens to every­one who would like to con­duct re­search on en­ergy, en­vi­ron­men­tal en­gi­neer­ing (in­clud­ing ecode­sign), and com­put­ing for sus­tain­abil­ity. Also, it’s for peo­ple who wish to ob­tain Re­search and De­vel­op­ment (R&D) skills re­quired in a high-level po­si­tion in the in­dus­try and acad­e­mia. Ex­cel­lent stu­dents can be rec­om­mended to be­come re­search as­sis­tants in order to pub­lish a paper as a co-au­thor, and have an oral pre­sen­ta­tion in an in­ter­na­tional con­fer­ence. These re­search ac­tiv­i­ties make stu­dents’ re­sume strong (R&D skills, pub­li­ca­tion, pro­fes­sional pre­sen­ta­tion) and will be a huge ad­van­tage for find­ing an en­gi­neer­ing po­si­tion or being ac­cepted to grad­u­ate schools for Mas­ter or doc­toral de­gree. If you are in­ter­ested in join­ing EES Lab, please send Pro­fes­sor Masato R. Naka­mura (Tel: 718-260-5532, mnaka­mura@​citytech.​cuny.​edu ) your re­sume and an­swers of fol­low­ing ques­tions: 1) What kinds of re­search fields are you in­ter­ested in? 2) How many hours per week can you spend for con­duct­ing re­search? 3) De­scribe your skills/knowl­edge of math, physics, com­put­ers, and ex­per­i­men­tal work (lab hands-on skills). 4) After fin­ish­ing your de­gree pro­gram, what kind of in­dus­try or grad­u­ate school pro­gram you’d like to go?

NSF-LSAMP

NSF-LSAMP

The Louis Stokes Al­liance for Mi­nor­ity Par­tic­i­pa­tion Pro­gram is funded by a grant from the Na­tional Sci­ence Foun­da­tion (NSF). LSAMP or AMP aims to in­crease the per­cent­age of CUNY stu­dents en­rolled in sci­ence, tech­nol­ogy, en­gi­neer­ing, and math­e­mat­ics (STEM) ma­jors who con­duct fac­ulty men­tored re­search prior to grad­u­at­ing or en­ter­ing in­dus­try. Par­tic­i­pants of LSAMP re­ceive a stipends up to $4000. The fund­ing is great, but the re­search ex­pe­ri­ence (lo­cally and abroad) and rec­om­men­da­tion let­ters that par­tic­i­pants re­ceive are greater.
