Off to Malaysia: the Center’s Dominick Dennisur (L) with Flavia Tauro and Youngsu Cha. Dominick received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from NYU-Poly in 2013, and Flavia and Youngsu are PhD candidates in Mechanical Engineering at the University. Flavia will also receive a degree in Hydrology from Sapienza University in Rome through a joint degree program. Youngsu and Flavia are researchers in Prof. Maurizio Porfiri’s lab.

IMG_0707The Center’s Science of Smart Cities (SoSC) program may have wrapped up its latest run in August on NYU-Poly’s campus, but we are pleased to announce a new, international project centered

on this initiative. A team from NYU-Poly, along with the New York Academy of Science’s K12 outreach program, will travel to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia September 20 through October 3 to work with the National University of Malaysia (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia or UKM). This global partnership adapts the SoSC curriculum and program for Malaysian middle school students and launches “The Science of Smart Communities”, or as it will be known in Malaysia, Bitara STEM.

NYU-Poly partnered this summer with Irondale Ensemble Project in its Science of Smart Cities program. To develop the communication skills of these middle school students Irondale used theater techniques like improvisation and role play that helped students become confident presenters of scientific and technical information, key attributes of successful STEM professionals. Watch this application of the arts in STEM and learn about some of the thinking behind this pilot initiative.

Janice Perez, an engineer at Northrop Grumman Corporation in its Brooklyn, NY office talks about the partnership between NYU-Poly and NGC in the Science of Smart Cities program. NGC STEM professionals worked with NYU-Poly students to integrate its advanced wireless communication work for the City of New York into the SoSC curriculum. As part of the program, middle school students spend a day at NGC with practicing engineers and technologists examining the real-world use of wireless technology in cities, learning how wireless networks are built and in workshops exploring creative applications that put the power of moving a lot of data around quickly to use in improving urban quality of life.

Via David, a Brooklyn middle school student in NYU-Poly’s Science of Smart Cities program. …Towards the end of the day, I learned about power storage. I learned that I should save as much energy as possible and ways to improve our energy grid by incorporating network communication. At the end of the day we learned about new renewable resources like a hydrogen fuel cell. I did an activity in which I demonstrated the workings of a hydrogen fuel cell. I used nickel plates placed in water connected to a battery. This created a reaction that seperated the H2O into H2 and O. The H2 is used to generate energy. This produces

no harmful waste and is a efficient way to generate cleaner electricity. Continue reading →
