Around Campus
Mark Tarazi ’24, who managed Cornell Engineering’s Rapid Prototyping Lab as a student, 3D printed shackle alignment tabs used by engineers to help scrub invasive mussels and debris out of an intake pipe that feeds Cornell’s Lake Source Cooling system, which pumps 32,000 gallons of cold water per minute to campus.

In the Field
The Engineers in Action student project team has built footbridges connecting thousands of people in Eswatini, Africa, to schools, health care and markets. Now the group is expanding their impact with two new projects: a solarpowered groundwater and disinfection system to ensure clean drinking water, as well as a new suspension bridge to be constructed in 2025.
