About GLASS Projects
The projects for Tandon Honors students in the Global Leaders & Scholars in STEM program consists of a culmination of various experiences, research, and interests related to the Tandon Areas of Research Excellence. Scholars are also required to address the NAE Grand Challenges and think about the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals when doing so. At the end of the 3 years in the GLASS Program, students have a better understanding of the impact they can have on changing the world for the better. GLASS students enter the world as globally competent and socially responsible innovators and engineers!

Areas of Excellence
Areas of Excellence
Sustainability
The world is facing serious challenges due to global warming and other environmental threats.
Fossil fuels are by far the largest contributor to global warming and carbon emissions. By transitioning away from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, we can significantly decrease our damage to the environment by stopping the progression of global warming and the environmental threats that would come with it.
Urban
The world is changing, and it's clear we need to help drive that change.
Urban areas and cities are at the center of the fight against climate change. Large urban centers create much of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. By transitioning these cities to renewables, as well as improving urban infrastructure and management of pollution and waste, we can create more sustainable cities.
