About GLASS Projects
The projects for Tandon Honors students in the Global Leaders & Scholars in STEM program consists of a culmination of various experiences, research, and interests related to the Tandon Areas of Research Excellence. Scholars are also required to address the NAE Grand Challenges and think about the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals when doing so. At the end of the 3 years in the GLASS Program, students have a better understanding of the impact they can have on changing the world for the better. GLASS students enter the world as globally competent and socially responsible innovators and engineers.
Mission Statement
I am a strong believer in the importance of recognizing our environmental impact as engineers and working to mitigate the negative effects of our designs and creations. While continuing my education at NYU Tandon, a common theme in what I am learning in my classes is the concept of the responsible engineer, who thinks about the effects and implications of what they create and work to mitigate environmental impact and push public safety to the forefront of their decisions. I have worked to continue this interest through the courses taken at my study abroad location as well. Without a focus on climate change and sustainability, we will not have an Earth that can handle the development of new engineered products.
