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.

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.

The School of Tech­nol­ogy and De­sign at New York City Col­lege of Tech­nol­ogy pro­poses to cre­ate a new Cen­ter for Per­for­ma­tive De­sign and En­gi­neer­ing Tech­nol­ogy that will pi­o­neer per­for­ma­tive de­sign ed­u­ca­tion. The pro­ject takes as its in­spi­ra­tion the broad focus on lab­o­ra­tory-based learn­ing that brings tech­no­log­i­cal ed­u­ca­tion to a higher level of in­te­gra­tion and broader fac­ulty en­gage­ment across an en­tire di­vi­sion. The Cen­ter will be­come the focus of in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary pro­ject-based learn­ing for fac­ulty and stu­dents from its nine con­stituent de­part­ments where they will con­duct re­search pro­jects using state-of-the-art tech­nolo­gies in cross-cut­ting ap­pli­ca­tions that mir­ror in­dus­try prac­tice. The pro­ject will pro­duce a lab­o­ra­tory de­sign to sup­port in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary re­search by con­fig­ur­ing equip­ment and in­stru­men­ta­tion for op­ti­mal col­lab­o­ra­tive use. A fac­ulty team will cre­ate a web-based tu­to­r­ial sys­tem for asyn­chro­nous learn­ing to ac­com­pany in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary ap­pli­ca­tions of cut­ting-edge tech­nol­ogy. They will also de­sign a new in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary cap­stone course and four cross-dis­ci­pli­nary pro­jects for bac­calau­re­ate-level stu­dents. This pro­ject will pro­vide a model for other in­sti­tu­tions with sim­i­lar pro­grams to em­u­late. By bring­ing pro­ject-based in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary team col­lab­o­ra­tions to the fore, the pro­ject will con­tribute to an on-go­ing par­a­digm shift in the way en­gi­neer­ing de­sign is taught. The pro­ject will also broaden par­tic­i­pa­tion since New York City Col­lege of Tech­nol­ogy serves a high per­cent­age of un­der­rep­re­sented mi­nor­ity stu­dents and is one of the na­tion’s top pro­duc­ers of un­der­rep­re­sented mi­nor­ity as­so­ci­ate de­gree grad­u­ates in STEM fields.

The School of Technology and Design at New York City College of Technology proposes to create a new Center for Performative Design and Engineering Technology that will pioneer performative design education. The project takes as its inspiration the broad focus on laboratory-based learning that brings technological education to a higher level of integration and broader faculty engagement across an entire division. The Center will become the focus of interdisciplinary project-based learning for faculty and students from its nine constituent departments where they will conduct research projects using state-of-the-art technologies in cross-cutting applications that mirror industry practice. The project will produce a laboratory design to support interdisciplinary research by configuring equipment and instrumentation for optimal collaborative use. A faculty team will create a web-based tutorial system for asynchronous learning to accompany interdisciplinary applications of cutting-edge technology. They will also design a new interdisciplinary capstone course and four cross-disciplinary projects for baccalaureate-level students. This project will provide a model for other institutions with similar programs to emulate. By bringing project-based interdisciplinary team collaborations to the fore, the project will contribute to an on-going paradigm shift in the way engineering design is taught. The project will also broaden participation since New York City College of Technology serves a high percentage of underrepresented minority students and is one of the nation’s top producers of underrepresented minority associate degree graduates in STEM fields.
