The primary objective of the Learning Strategies Center (LSC) Scholarship is to enable current full-time undergraduate students to graduate on schedule by providing financial support to attend Summer or Winter Session at Cornell.  Although many students wish to attend Summer or Winter Session, limited funding restricts us to awarding scholarships to eligible applicants who receive Cornell grant aid and demonstrate both an academic and financial need. LSC Scholarships are for Cornell courses only, and cover the cost of tuition.

Priority for scholarships is given in the following order:

1. Seniors who need to fulfill requirements for graduation.
2. Upper-class students who did not successfully complete a core course.
3. Students who need Summer or Winter Session credits to place them on schedule for graduation.
4. Students who have been encouraged to moderate their course load by an advisor due to extenuating circumstances.
5. Supporting students’ participation in a broad range of academic enrichment opportunities provided by Cornell.

If you wish to be nominated you must meet with, and receive approval from, Emily Iv

IMPORTANT NOTE: The LSC Scholarship is not granted for academic acceleration.

Would you like to participate in a study about heat transfer problem solving? Your help will be valuable in improving education at Cornell. Participants will also receive a $20 gift card.

During the study we will ask you to solve some conceptual problems from MAE 3240 (Heat Transfer) and talk about your thought process as you solve them. We are looking for students who have already taken MAE 3240. Your responses are valuable regardless of what grade you received. We expect each session to take no more than an hour. Your participation is voluntary.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact Hadas Ritz (hr32@cornell.edu) or Carolyn Aslan (crc1@cornell.edu).

Good morning,

A new add deadline has been established for Independent Research and Project Team enrollment (all other classes will still adhere to the University add deadline of Feb. 4). Considering the extra effort required in sorting out enrollment for these kinds of courses, the deadline has been extended to the end of the fifth week of classes, which allows students to add/drop electronically slightly later into the semester.  For the Spring 2020 semester, students have the ability to add/drop project team and independent research classes through Friday, February 21, 2020 using the university add/drop system.

NO enrollment requests will be accepted after this deadline, without exception, so please take care to get enrolled as soon as you’re able.

Please share this information widely.

Good morning,

Another biomechanics course has recently been added to the major approved elective list. MAE 5680/BME5810: Soft Tissue Biomechanics, may now be used by mechanical engineering students to satisfy one of the 3 major approved electives.

This course is currently only offered in the Fall and BME is the parent department.

Good morning,

Another course has been added the list of acceptable math electives for Mechanical Engineering.

ECON 3110: Probability Models and Inference for the Social Sciences can satisfy the math elective as well as the probability and statistics requirement.

It will take some time for this course to be added to the lists on the website, but know that it has been approved as a math elective for Spring 2020 and beyond.

Good Afternoon, MechEs,

The Conway Room (102 Thurston Hall) will be open 24 hours for the remainder of final exams. It’s a nice quiet study space. Please feel free to utilize it as needed.

Good Morning, Seniors,

Below, please find instructions for submitting your senior design report content summary form:

• In a separate document (please type), answer the 9 questions on the content summary form with a paragraph or so.
• You have two options for obtaining a signature from your project advisor (this must be a faculty member; PhD student cannot sign this form):
  1. Option 1: Print the document containing your answers to the 9 questions and attach it to the form. Take the form and answers to your project advisor for review and a manual signature. Submit the signed content summary form and answers to Kae-Lynn in 125 Upson.
  2. Option 2: Send the content summary form and your answers to the 9 questions to your project advisor as email attachments and request email approval. Once your project advisor has replied with email approval, forward that (along with the attachments) to Kae-Lynn (kbw28).
• Deadline: It is best to get your approved content summary form submitted before you leave for break. However, if the end of the semester is too hectic, you may submit your approved senior design content summary form up until December 31st.
• Note: Your actual full senior design report is only submitted to your project advisor. The undergraduate office does not need a copy of it. We only need your approved content summary forms and answers.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions.

The Cornell Engineering Career Center and the Nancy E. and Peter C. Meining School of Biomedical Engineering are sponsoring two treks in January. These treks are a great opportunity to connect with professionals and alumni in the biomedical field. The first 25 students to register will be accepted. Additional students will be put on a waitlist in order of submission time.

Please note: transportation and hotel accommodations are not provided for either trek. Students must plan for travel to Boston or San Francisco and between companies.

The Cornell Career Services No-Show Policy applies to these two treks.

Relationships with alumni and employers are an important aspect of career development.  As such, we hold our students to a strict attendance and cancellation policy. This policy is to ensure the maximum number of students are able to take advantage of this opportunity.

Due to the nature of this event, you must cancel by January 6^th by 11:59pm or you may be subject to OCR Violation.

Alumni and Recruiter Events No-Show Policy

If you change your mind or your schedule changes after signing up for a Biomedical Trek, email eng-career@cornell.edu to remove your registration by January 6^th at 11:59. After that time, if you elect to cancel your registration or cannot attend, immediately notify our office by phone or email. Depending on the circumstances, this will result in your being considered a “late cancellation” or “no-show.” If so, you will not be allowed to participate in career conversations, other Engineering registration-required Networking events or on-campus recruiting until you speak with a Career Development staff member. A second “no-show” will result in automatic forfeiture of the right to participate in all Engineering Alumni Career Conversation for one semester, as well as the inability to participate in on-campus recruiting for 1 semester.

Funds are available to assist with costs associated with off-campus experiences to advance a student’s professional goals. Find more information about how to apply here.
