2025 Engineering Day - Student Design Celebration

2025 Engineering Day - Student Design Celebration | Daily Tribune | Monroe Community College There are showcases! There are competitions! See this years robots launching hockey pucks through timed gates and student-designed cars racing around a track. You can even find out which car can lift the most weight and marvel at the 3D printed car bodies that students designed themselves. These are...

Congratulations to Dr. Ben!

Dr. Schermerhorn's work was published in American Physical Society Journals

Dr. Benjamin Schermerhorn, a faculty member in the Department of Engineering Science and Physics, had work was published in American Physical Society Journals(APS): Making context explicit in equation construction and interpretation: Symbolic Blending.

This work presents a theoretical framework for analyzing the way that students work with, construct, and interpret equations in STEM disciplines. Leaning on the idea of mathematics as a language, linguistics frameworks and incorporated to connect the ideas that students have within a given context to the way those ideas are given symbolic form in equations (and further mathematical representations).

Making context explicit in equation construction and interpretation: Symbolic blending The symbolic blending model can be used to analyze students' mathematical sense-making when constructing equations in upper-division physics.

Congratulations to one of our illustrious alumni, Samuel Remp for being named on of Rochester's 40 under 40 for 2023!

RBJ announces 2023 Forty Under 40 honorees - Rochester Business Journal The Rochester Business Journal has selected the 2023 class of Forty Under 40 honorees.

Folks, I'm afraid I have bad news. Dave Leach, retired machine shop teacher from MCC passed away Friday, March 10 from cancer.

A celebration of his life is scheduled for May 13. I will share more details as I get them. Message me if you want the info. Apparently, it will be held at a private residence and I prefer not to put the address in a Facebook post
