Lehigh Engineers

If you walked across the Ben Franklin today for its 100th birthday, you walked across Lehigh history! Bethlehem Steel () helped construct the 380-foot suspension towers. With and , Lehigh Engineering has continued to care for the bridge by testing the steel suspender ropes in our Fritz Lab to confirm their residual strength and continued high performance. Happy celebrating!

Back in May, the Institute for Functional Materials and Devices (I-FMD) and the Department of Bioengineering hosted the annual Lehigh Materials Symposium. Researchers, industry leaders, and students connected over the growing semiconductor industry, innovations in bioengineering and therapeutics, and more.
