The future of energy is being built in PA. Congratulations to @PittEngineering, @CarnegieMellon, and the RETI Consortium on securing $321M to advance AI, energy resilience, advanced manufacturing, & workforce development across our region. #InnovationInPA news.engineering.pitt.edu/creating-a-new…

To build a broader cybersecurity ecosystem and help keep critical infrastructure safer, Pitt’s Cyber Energy Center and @PittCyber are honored to host their second Transforming Cybersecurity Workshop, on Tuesday, August 11, 2026. news.engineering.pitt.edu/pitts-cyber-en…

What do ten weeks of hands-on research into sustainability look like? On Wednesday, July 22, thirty-five Pitt students will share their findings and experiences as part of the @PittMCSI summer research program. news.engineering.pitt.edu/pitt-students-…

Pocket Pizzutillo (BSMEMS ’25) (@PittMEMS) had completed two six-month co-op rotations and 75 percent of his course work, but something was missing: hands-on research. A summer program through the Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation changed that. news.engineering.pitt.edu/summer-researc…

Pitt’s ASCE Concrete Canoe team (@PittCivilEnvEng) competed in the 2026 National Concrete Canoe Competition for their first time, the result of years of fine tuning their mix and design, learning to row together, and solving problems as a team. news.engineering.pitt.edu/who-says-concr…

Brandon Grainger (@PittECE), Paul Leu (@Pitt_IE), and Paul Ohodnicki (@PittMEMS) have received $70,000 Manufacturing PA Innovation Awards, fueling University-industry collaboration. news.engineering.pitt.edu/three-pitt-pro…

Congratulations to Piervincenzo Rizzo (@PittCivilEnvEng), who was recently named Managing Editor at Structural Health Monitoring and whose research recently received the 2026 Outstanding Paper Award from the American Society for Nondestructive Testing! news.engineering.pitt.edu/listening-to-t…

Congrats to Mostafa Bedewy (@PittMEMS)! He is one of 74 of the brightest emerging engineers across industry, government, and academia selected to participate in the National Academy of Engineering’s Grainger Foundation Frontiers of Engineering Symposium. news.engineering.pitt.edu/mostafa-bedewy…

Karen Bursic (@Pitt_IE) has had an award-winning end to an amazing teaching career at Pitt! ASEE recognized her contributions to engineering education with its prestigious Donald G. Newnan Award. Congratulations, Karen, and happy retirement! news.engineering.pitt.edu/award-winning-…

Pitt’s AMPED Consortium will host its fifth annual industry meeting on August 19. We're excited to welcome keynote speakers Elif Balkas, Chief Technology Officer at Wolfspeed, and Troy Beechner, Mission Leader – Electrification at GE Vernova. news.engineering.pitt.edu/designing-the-…

Big chemistry, smaller footprint. 🧪Pitt and @Lubrizol re-engineered a chemical line from batch to continuous production – cutting capital costs 65% and operating costs 60%. The work is now featured in the 2025 Manufacturing USA Report to Congress. news.engineering.pitt.edu/manufacturing-…

After three decades in the classroom, @PittECE Professor Steven Jacobs has retired, but he leaves a legacy of engaging and challenging his students, mentoring junior faculty, and occasionally surprising them all with his saxophone. Congratulations! news.engineering.pitt.edu/signals-and-sy…

Pitt Engineering is proud to be part of @ASEE_DC 2026 in Charlotte, the Queen City! We're also excited to share the thrill around FIFA World Cup 2026 with our new swag featuring Pitt Soccer! Looking forward to #ASEE2028 in Pittsburgh! #H2P

For over a decade, @PittChemECar @ChemePitt students have designed, built, and raced a shoebox-sized model car powered and stopped by chemical reactions. This past spring, the team’s car came an eighth of an inch from reaching the national competition. news.engineering.pitt.edu/for-every-reac…

This past spring, Swanson School @Pitt_IE students collaborated with UPMC to solve persistent healthcare challenges. The results of these three senior projects highlight how new perspectives can create real-world solutions that help improve care. news.engineering.pitt.edu/designing-heal…

Congratulations to Jingtong Hu (@PittECE)! He received the IEEE TCCPS Mid-Career Award for his work developing life-saving devices that are engineered to act on their own. news.engineering.pitt.edu/life-saving-de…

A grant is bringing SCI & @PittEngineering together. “Quantum computing is becoming increasingly relevant across science and engineering, and this grant helps train students to work across computer science, physics, and engineering,” said SCI's Junyu Liu. bit.ly/4uCzqzh

Congratulations to Tatsuya Sakurahara (@PittMEMS)! He has received a 2026 Oak Ridge Associated Universities Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award to develop a computational risk-assessment tool for nuclear facilities. news.engineering.pitt.edu/beyond-probabi…

Congratulations to our @PittCivilEnvEng alumnus James Serafin BSCE '95 on his new role at Oak Ridge National Laboratory @ORNL! ornl.gov/news/ornl-name…

After discovering a cleaner, more efficient way to produce battery-quality graphite, Pitt researchers @ChemePitt launched Graphonos Materials. This spring the startup won a $20,000 Aramco Innovator Prize and Pitt's $25,000 Big Idea Competition Grand Prize! news.engineering.pitt.edu/from-cleaner-c…
