Melody Baglione is an associate professor at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science in Art in New York City. She teaches courses in the areas of systems engineering, feedback control, mechanics, vibrations, and acoustics. Melody completed her PhD at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and brings with her 7+ years of industry experience, primarily in automotive powertrain systems. Melody is currently developing inductive and hands-on teaching methods by integrating case studies, practical laboratories, and real-world projects into the mechanical engineering curriculum. Her current projects include: incorporating the HVAC and building automation systems of Cooper Union’s new LEED-Platinum academic building into the control systems curriculum; designing interactive K-12 STEM learning technology; modeling and optimizing vehicle systems; and characterizing structural dynamics properties using experimental modal analysis.
