The Department of Civil, Environmental, and Transportation Engineering officially launched July 1, bringing together Civil & Environmental Engineering and Transportation & Urban Infrastructure Studies into one powerhouse department!

Continuing her leadership from the Department of Transportation & Urban Infrastructure Studies, Dr. Celeste Chavis now steps in as chair of CETE. In her words:

"This merger brings together the strengths and expertise of our programs while creating new opportunities for collaboration and innovation. Together, we have an opportunity to build a department that prepares our students to address some of society's most pressing infrastructure, environmental, and mobility challenges."

More to come from this department — stay tuned.

Last week, the Mitchell School of Engineering was proud to join the 6th Annual Black Business EXPO, "Powering Prosperity in the Age of AI," held at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum!

Our researchers connected directly with Baltimore’s Black business community to share how AI and smart infrastructure are driving the future of entrepreneurship:

CEAMLS (Center for Equitable Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Systems)
Represented by Center Director Dr. Kofi Nyarko, Kelechi Nwachukwu, and David Nyarko.

SIRE Lab (Sustainable Infrastructure Development, Smart Innovation and Resilient Engineering)
Represented by Lab Director Dr. Owolabi, Surveyor Michael Okegbola, and Architect Adeolu Victor Banjo.

From equitable AI systems to resilient design, our team proved that engineering innovation and community empowerment go hand in hand.

Congratulations to AFRO News on 134 years of powerful service and advocacy for the Black community—thank you for hosting another incredible EXPO!

This summer, the 2026 Cyber Stars Summer Program — directed by the Cybersecurity Assurance & Policy (CAP) Center — gave middle school girls the tools to navigate our digital world with confidence. From core cybersecurity concepts to hands-on skill-building, these scholars are proof that the next generation of cyber defenders is already on the rise.

We were proud to collaborate with an incredible group of partners who brought expertise, mentorship, and real-world perspective to the program:

~Ms. Shareka Robinson – She Loves STEM
~Ms. Brandy Turner – Center for Women in Cyber (CWC)
~Ms. Meghan McLeod – Redox
~Rear Admiral (RADM) David Faehnle & Team – U.S. Navy

When girls see women leading in cybersecurity, they start to see themselves doing the same. This summer's Cyber Stars didn't just learn to protect data — they learned to lead.

Next summer, we look forward to providing more girls the opportunity to improve cyber skills!
