Digital Manufacturing Initiative
3D printing is rapidly changing the manufacturing landscape and the Sibley School wants to make sure our students are well-positioned to be leaders in the area. Support for our rapid prototyping lab (RPL) including the purchase and maintenance of new manufacturing equipment and material can help us achieve this mission. Support the Digital Manufacturing Initiative.
Teaching Laboratory Fund
Undergraduate labs serve as the cornerstone of the Sibley School experiential education. Help support the undergraduate student labs by sponsoring a teaching laboratory specialist or renewal of experimental equipment. Support the Teaching Laboratory Fund.
Active and Engaged Learning
The Sibley School is initiating a new active learning program called “Mastering Fundamentals Through Projects and Inductive Reasoning”. The goal of this effort is to transform the undergraduate curriculum by emphasizing project-based learning and inductive teaching in the service of fundamentals in our junior-level courses. Support provides for teaching specialists and ensures all Sibley students have access to the program. Support Active and Engaged Learning.
Robotics - Form, Autonomy and Interaction
Robotics and Automation have long been a strength in MAE and across Cornell Engineering, particularly in the cross-fertilization between form, autonomy, and interaction. Our strength is also evident in the interdisciplinary research at the intersections of these themes. This year we will launch a new Robotics Ph.D. program and support for Ph.D. fellowships can fortify our stature in this area. Support Robotics.
Center for Vehicle Intelligence
In collaboration with Cornell Tech and several Italian universities and automotive companies, we will launch this year our new Center for Vehicle Intelligence. Help the Center grow into a world-class facility with support for research initiatives, industrial engagement, and student fellowships. Support the Center for Vehicle Intelligence.
Research Centers for Excellence
