Overview
CCNY's Prestigious Grove School of Engineering Offers Wide Range of Nationally Acclaimed Graduate Engineering Degrees
The first public college of its kind, the City College of New York's renowned Grove School of Engineering is the nation's most diverse school of engineering with six nationally recognized graduate engineering programs. Named for Andrew S. Grove, a '60 CUNY graduate who became one of the founders of Intel Corp, the school is the only public school of engineering within New York City.
Due to their diversity and superior academic training, Grove School graduates are regularly recruited by prominent corporations such as General Electric, IBM, Raytheon, and Toyota, as well as leading agencies at the federal, state, and local level.
Grove School of Engineering Offers Wide Range of Graduate Degrees in Six Engineering Fields
As a flagship program of CCNY-CUNY, the Grove School offers graduate engineering programs that are highly selective, challenging, and affordable. The acclaimed faculty, globally recognized for their outstanding scholarship and innovative research, and the curriculum of each graduate program prepares students with the technical expertise and real-world skills appropriate for today's global workforce.
Master's and doctoral graduate engineering programs are available in biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering.
The Grove School has active electrical engineering and mechanical engineering minority programs. With generous funding from the National Institutes of Health, the Biomedical Engineering Department is establishing a "national urban model for minority biomedical engineering education."
Biomedical Engineering Graduate Programs
The goal of CCNY's biomedical engineering programs is to train students to respond to the needs of a biomedical industry that is primarily focused on the research and development of medical devices and diagnostics.
Areas of study include arterial disease, bioheat transfer, bioimage processing and medical instrumentation, biomechanics of cervical spine, head, and neck injuries, biosignal processing, design and structural studies of biomaterials, hydrogels for controlled drug release, image perception, intercellular communication, microvascular exchange, orthopedic biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering, renal transport, and soft tissue mechanics.
Graduate students have the unique opportunity to conduct their dissertation research in rapidly growing areas with mentors from either the City University of New York or any one of the hospital partners in the New York Center for Biomedical Engineering Consortium.
Chemical Engineering Graduate Programs
At CCNY, the Department of Chemical Engineering's graduate programs include a Master of Engineering in Chemical Engineering, a Master of Science in Engineering degree for students who do not have a bachelor's degree in engineering, and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering.
Areas of study include biomedical engineering, controlled drug release, transport phenomena, fluid mechanics, interfacial phenomena, boiling heat transfer, air pollution control, fluidization, powder technology, chemical reaction engineering, separation with partially miscible fluids, polymers and polymer films, computer-aided process design, simulation, economics, clean fuels, and coal gasification.
Civil Engineering Graduate Programs
Civil engineering graduate programs at the City College of New York include a Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering, a Master of Science in Civil Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Engineering. Students can choose to concentrate in the following areas: structural engineering and mechanics, water resources engineering, environmental engineering, and transportation.
Electrical Engineering Graduate Programs
CCNY's Department of Electrical Engineering offers a Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering, a Master of Science in Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Engineering. Areas of study include communications; computer networks engineering; photonics engineering, including optical communications, nonlinear optics, remote sensing, and lidar for atmospheric and environmental studies; atmospheric solid state lasers; optical engineering; parallel processing; VLSI design; control and control system engineering; image and signal processing; and multidimensional filter design.
Mechanical Engineering Graduate Programs
Mechanical Engineering graduate programs include the Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering, the M.S. in Engineering, and the Ph.D. in Engineering. Areas of study include fluid mechanics and turbulence, biomedical engineering, dynamics, machine dynamics, stress analysis, vibrations, microelectronic cooling, heat transfer, aerodynamics, turbo-machinery, robotics, computer simulation in manufacturing, materials, fracture mechanics, composite materials, and solid mechanics.
Computer Science Graduate Programs
At the City College of New York, the Master of Science in Computer Science program deals with information -- its storage, retrieval, and processing; its communication, control, and manipulation; and its analysis, recognition, and display. The college also offers a doctoral program in computer science.
Levich Institute for Physicochemical Hydrodynamics
An internationally acclaimed research institute at CCNY, the Levich Institute for Physicochemical Hydrodynamics studied the fundamental problems of flow and transport in complex fluid, fluid-like media, and interface systems. Faculty researchers from chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and physics, as well as visitors, postdoctoral research associates, and Ph.D. students, are involved in institute research projects. Current research involves: granular flow, low Reynolds number hydrodynamics, non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, computational fluid mechanics, and transport along interface.
The First College of the Internationally Acclaimed City University of New York
Historic City College of New York (CCNY), the first affordable public college of the City University of New York (CUNY), is a comprehensive teaching, research, and service institution dedicated to accessibility and excellence in undergraduate and graduate education. CUNY reflects the ethnic and cultural diversity of New York City with a student body of more than 16,000, representing nearly every culture, language, and religion of the global community.
CUNY's renowned undergraduate and graduate programs include liberal arts and sciences, engineering, education, architecture, and biomedical education. City University is committed to fostering student-centered education and advancing knowledge through scholarly research. As a public university with public purposes, it also seeks to contribute to the cultural, social, and economic life of New York.
