Civil and Environmental engineers are actively engaged in all efforts to predict, minimize the effect of, and retrofit or repair the infrastructure affected by events that include global climate change, environmental pollution crises, water shortage crises, non-sustainable energy practices, transportation planning and land use. The Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE) Department continues to address these global challenges through its didactic and research missions. Through our accredited Civil Engineering (CE) and Environmental Engineering (ENVE) programs, we educate and prepare engineers to face major societal challenges, and the CEE faculty members perform cutting-edge research to develop new solutions to global problems.

G. Michael Howard Engineering Education Lecture presents Lucas Landherr, Northeastern University
Thursday, October 11, 2018 9:30 am Student Union Theater Storrs, CT
Dr. Lucas Landherr is an associate teaching professor of chemical engineering at Northeastern University. He received his B.S. in chemical engineering from Lafayette College and his Ph.D. from Cornell University. Dr. Landherr conducts engineering education research into novel teaching techniques for undergraduate and K-12 STEM education. He has focused on the development of comics to teach complex science and engineering concepts through collaboration with professional and student artists, and his comics have been adopted by colleges throughout the U.S. as well as in the U.K., Belgium, and Denmark. Dr. Landherr is currently a regular contributor to the Chemical Engineering Education journal, producing the Drawn To Engineering comic. He has received several teaching awards from Northeastern and ASEE, and was honored as one of AIChE’s 35 Under 35 in 2017.
