A course in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, titled automotive engineering (MAE 457), is crafted to prepare students for careers not only in the automotive sector but in various related fields. This course aims to foster students’ curiosity regarding the design and development of various vehicle engines, led by mechanical and aerospace engineering professor Andrea Shen. It will also delve into contemporary topics in automotive engineering, such as hybrid and electric vehicles.
Mechanical and aerospace engineering professor Andrea Shen is leading automotive engineering, a course designed to prepare students for careers in the automotive industry and beyond.
In MAE 457, students will explore the workings of internal combustion engines, understand the role of biofuels, and study vehicle dynamics, including how various factors affect engine performance. They will also engage in practical learning experiences with engines, examining diesel and gasoline engines located in Link Hall. Each student will undertake a project that involves researching a vehicle of their choice.
The course will include guest lectures from industry leaders such as SpaceX, Ford, Harley Davidson, Sierra Space, Roush Yates, Cummins, and Caterpillar, allowing students a chance to connect with these professionals.
“I’m hoping students will develop an appreciation for cars,” says Shen. “They will learn about the intricate interactions within the vehicle and the significance of each component. I also want to raise awareness about biofuels and the critical research surrounding combustion engines and automotive technology in the context of the rise of electric vehicles.”
Shen completed her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Virginia Tech and obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Engine Research Center. She plans to integrate her research on gasoline engines, biofuels, and engine performance, as well as the creation of representative models of different base fuels, into the course structure.

A departing superintendent from a Long Island school district was arrested for driving under the influence after severely injuring a motorcyclist in a recent accident, as reported by authorities.
Dr. Michael Hynes, 53, who served as the Superintendent of Schools for the Port Washington Union Free School District, left 63-year-old Alberto Fernandez with significant injuries following the collision that occurred shortly after 9 p.m. on Sunday in Sayville, according to Suffolk County Police.
Authorities stated that Hynes was driving his Honda Civic northbound on Railroad Avenue when he attempted to turn left onto Depot Street, colliding with Fernandez, who was traveling south on a Harley-Davidson.
Fernandez, from Sayville, was transported to South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore for the treatment of serious injuries, law enforcement reported.
Meanwhile, Hynes displayed “bloodshot glassy eyes, slurred speech, and an unsteady gait” when apprehended, leading to a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated, as outlined in a criminal complaint.
This incident marked Hynes’ first offense, and he was released on his own recognizance during his arraignment at First District Court in Central Islip on Monday.

In a message to families, the district announced that Dr. Christopher Shields will assume the role of acting superintendent immediately to maintain stability and continuity during this challenging time.
“We promise to keep you updated and will provide further details as they become available,” the district’s statement assured.
“A new opportunity has arisen that I have not yet encountered in my public education career,” Hynes remarked to the outlet earlier this month, but did not provide specifics about this new venture.
“I believe this experience will benefit both me and my family.”
Hynes is recognized as a Fulbright Specialist and also holds a position as an associate professor of education and leadership at both Long Island University and Stony Brook University, according to his online biography .
He has appeared in the full-length documentary “Chasing Childhood” and is the author of the book “Staying Grounded: 12 Principles for Transforming School Leader Effectiveness.”
