Headline: Bucknell Engineering Students Tackle Global Challenges with Innovative Projects Amidst Freezing Temperatures
Lewisburg, PA – Despite a frigid night with temperatures expected to plummet to a low of 10°F and a north-easterly wind chill cutting through the region, Bucknell University’s first-year engineering students showcased their ingenuity and commitment to a sustainable future at the Engineering 100 expo on Thursday, December 4, 2025.
The “Engineering a Resilient Future for Our World” expo, held in the Terrace Room of the Elaine Langone Center, featured 54 student teams presenting projects aimed at addressing pressing global issues. Among the highlights were a water recycling system demonstrated by Vincent Barravecchio and Sam Schroeder (both of New York), Eric Stewart (Maryland), and Katherine Peters (Ohio), designed to purify wastewater for reuse. Another team, comprised of JP D’Agostino (New York), Ben Mazzucco (New Jersey), Gabe Asper (Lancaster), and Oliver Wovchko (Pittsburgh), presented a solar panel bench, envisioning a future where public spaces can provide renewable energy for charging personal devices.
Richard E. Garman Dean of the College of Engineering, Brad Putman, was on hand to engage with the students and learn about their innovative solutions. The expo is a key component of the Engineering 100 course, providing first-year students with a crucial introduction to the diverse fields within engineering and the practical application of engineering principles. While the clear skies and light winds offered a brief respite from the intense cold, the innovative spirit inside the expo warmed the hearts of all in attendance, highlighting the potential of future engineers to create a more sustainable and resilient world.
