Engineering Tours

Join us for an in-person student-led tour s of the engineering school.  Sign up  to hear directly from a current engineering student and to ask questions. Please  explore online , follow us on social media, or  email questions .

Please note that our engineering tours are intended for prospective undergraduate students visiting campus individually, along with their families. Due to the large number of prospective students and family members taking our tours, as well as the narrow hallways in the Engineering Quadrangle (E-Quad), we are unfortunately not able to accommodate large organized tour groups or groups arriving by bus.

Regardless of the situation, large groups of visitors will be turned away at the door. No exceptions.

In-person Guided Engineering Tours

Guided engineering tours during the academic year are offered by members of the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society, who are juniors and seniors who are able to describe their experiences as engineering students at Princeton while providing an overview of the academic programs and facilities. Guides will begin the tour promptly at 11:30 a.m. from the SEAS Undergraduate Affairs Office, room C209 in the Engineering Quadrangle (E-Quad), which is K3 on the campus map .  Tours last 45 minutes to an hour and are offered Monday through Friday, when classes are in session . Unfortunately, we are unable to offer guided tours on weekends, during Reading Period (just before exams) and exams, or during breaks. Here are our available tour dates . Please check back in July 2024 for our fall engineering tour schedule.

During the summer, guided engineering tours are offered after the July 4 th holiday through the end of July, given by students who are spending their summers at Princeton doing research. Guides will begin the tour promptly at 11:30 a.m. from the SEAS Undergraduate Affairs Office, room C209 in the Engineering Quadrangle (E-Quad), which is K3 on the campus map . Tours last 45 minutes to an hour and are offered weekdays only, Monday through Friday.

Here are our available tour dates . Please check back in May 2024 for our summer engineering tour schedule.

We ask that you please RSVP and follow the instructions. Helpful information, like parking on campus, is available using the tabs in the upper right. An email confirmation will be sent. Please be aware that during high school vacation weeks in February and April, as well as on holidays such as Veterans’ Day, there is a very heavy demand for guided tours. Since Princeton students have to meet academic obligations, we do not have large numbers of guides available, so the tours during peak periods can get very large. If possible, please plan to visit outside these periods.

Please note that we are unable to store personal items such as luggage, backpacks, coats or umbrellas in the E-Quad.

Self-led Engineering Tours

If you are unable to visit when a guided tour is offered, a self-led tour is available. No pre-registration is required. The leaflet describing the self-directed tour and its route can be picked up just outside the SEAS Dean’s Office suite on the main corridor of the C-wing, just next to the E-Quad Café. The self-led tour can be done at any time that the building is open, Monday through Friday, but we ask that you do not enter labs or offices unless invited by a member of the faculty or staff. Please note we are unable to store personal items such as luggage, backpacks, coats or umbrellas in the E-Quad.

Princeton University Art Museum Announces Six Site-Specific Artworks for New Building Opening in 2025

PRINCETON, NJ – Today the Princeton University Art Museum announced the contemporary artists selected for four large-scale commissions and two acquisitions that will be integrated into the architecture and surrounding landscape of the Museum’s new building. Opening in 2025, the new building will nearly double the Museum’s previous size and embody its long-standing commitment to the thoughtful and equitable display and study of the globe-spanning collections under its care.

The celebrated American artist and educator Nick Cave will create a monumental and colorful installation of mosaic tile, gold bronze, and wood to welcome visitors to the Museum. Incorporated directly onto two sides of the building’s covered entrance court, this work derives from Cave’s artistic practice involving sculpture, sound, performance, and themes of social justice. In the piece, the artist’s soundsuit-wearing alter ego leans forward in a gesture of welcome to all visitors approaching the Museum’s primary entrance. A large-scale installation by the artist Diana Al-Hadid will occupy the Museum’s east terrace. The sculpture draws on the artist's research into Princeton's collections of ancient art and archival photographs of excavation sites. Inspired by these collections, Al-Hadid’s sculpture hints at the ancient knowledge that exists within the Museum’s contemporary walls. The result will incorporate figural and mosaic elements and a complex aluminum structure.

To fill a vertical space created by one of the building’s signature lens windows, the multidisciplinary artist Tuan Andrew Nguyen has built a kinetic sculpture composed of metal from unexploded landmines and artillery shells left behind during the Vietnam War—a reference to colonial violence that belies the tranquility of the gallery space. The work will be placed in dialogue with an ancient Roman mosaic featuring the head of Medusa, the figure from Greek mythology whose hideous appearance would turn a viewer to stone.

A luminous painting by Jane Irish will be installed on the ceiling of one of the more intimate new galleries. It depicts two versions of the cosmos—a history of Renaissance violence and a redemptive future. The artist skews the viewer’s perspective by incorporating a false cornice and painted corners of a ceiling into her work, subtly putting the viewer’s own vantage point in question. Across her practice, Irish probes contrasts–between art and warfare, poetry and architecture. For her commission, she has sourced imagery from the Museum’s collections, including the work of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.

Beyond these four new commissions, visitors will encounter two new acquisitions planned for specific areas of the Museum grounds. A monumental glazed-ceramic piece by the Japanese artist Jun Kaneko will occupy an area in the northeast of the building—a translation of his ceramic practice designed to withstand the elements and to be in conversation with the surrounding environment. The work will nestle in a new landscape designed by James Corner Field Operations. Finally, located on the building’s south sculpture terrace will be a bronze figurative sculpture by Rose B. Simpson , whose multimedia practice brings together past and present as she explores complex histories including her own Native identity. Her relationship with the Museum extends back to her 2022 solo exhibition at the Museum’s Art@Bainbridge gallery space.

Under the direction of Director James Steward and Chief Curator Juliana Ochs Dweck, the Museum aims to place these artworks in conversation with its global collections, dynamic architecture, community, and visitors. In doing so, the Museum will foster cross-cultural dialogue that challenges traditional definitions of materiality and function, just as its single-level collections displays seek to overcome traditional hierarchies of value, placing the collections in new modes of productive conversation.

“We build on a tradition of public art at Princeton extending to the 1960s with the commissioning of works by major modern artists of the time, including Henry Moore, Alexander Calder, and Louise Nevelson,” said James Steward, the Nancy A. Nasher–David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, Director of the Princeton University Art Museum. “These six commissions and site-specific acquisitions bring a vibrant new cohort of international voices to bear in that existing collection with works that will be beautiful and arresting.”

About the Princeton University Art Museum

With a collecting history that extends back to 1755, the Princeton University Art Museum is one of the leading university art museums in the country, featuring collections that have grown to include more than 115,000 works of art ranging from ancient to contemporary art and spanning the globe. Committed to advancing Princeton’s teaching and research missions, the Art Museum also serves as a gateway to the University for visitors from around the world.

The main Museum building is currently closed for the construction of a bold and welcoming new building, slated to open in 2025.

Art on Hulfish, a gallery project of the Art Museum located at 11 Hulfish Street, is open daily. Art@Bainbridge, a gallery project at 158 Nassau Street, is open Tuesday through Sunday. Admission to both galleries is free.

Please visit the Museum’s website for digital access to the collections, a diverse portfolio of programs, and details on visiting our downtown galleries. The Museum Store in Palmer Square, located at 56 Nassau Street in downtown Princeton, is open daily, or shop online at www.princetonmuseumstore.org.

After 24 hours, Princeton sit-in for Gaza persists

First night of the McCosh Courtyard sit-in.

Calvin grover / the daily princetonian.

The sit-in in solidarity with Gaza on Princeton’s McCosh Courtyard has entered its second day. Student demonstrators remained on the courtyard undisturbed through Thursday night into Friday morning.

Princeton students began the sit-in early Thursday morning, after planning documents leaked on Wednesday indicated that students were preparing for an encampment. No student organization is officially sponsoring the sit-in. 

As the sun rose over McCosh Hall on Thursday, protesters began to set up tents, in line with the tent encampments set up at Columbia and other universities across the country. The tents were taken down within just six minutes following a warning from PSAFE and the arrest of two graduate students, all within the first ten minutes of activity.

The action followed a Wednesday email from Vice President for Campus Life W. Rochelle Calhoun cautioning that “[a]ny individual involved in an encampment, occupation, or other unlawful disruptive conduct who refuses to stop after a warning will be arrested and immediately barred from campus.”

The two students arrested on Thursday morning have been barred from campus but not from their University-owned housing, according to a statement sent to the ‘Prince’ by University Spokesperson Michael Hotchkiss.

To maintain compliance with University policy, organizers have shifted away from the encampment style maintained at other universities to a strategy of taking shifts to stay awake. The Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students (ODUS) forbids sleeping “in outdoor space of any kind.” 

“Morale is good. We’ve had a large number of campers at every single point in the night.” Aditi Rao GS, an organizer for the sit-in, told the ‘Prince’ in the early hours of Friday morning.

During daylight hours, Thursday, McCosh Courtyard transformed into the “Popular University for Gaza” referring to a movement organized by the national wing of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which aims to “counter the bias of the educational system while building the movement for Palestinian liberation.” 

A number of speakers, including students, faculty, and alumni, addressed the crowd throughout the day, and two professors held class on the courtyard. Demonstrators encouraged passersby to join chanting, “this is where class is today.”

Protestors remained in the courtyard as night fell and temperatures dropped to temperatures hovering around freezing, sitting on blankets and lawn chairs. Just after 2 a.m., a Public Safety (PSafe) officer pulled an organizer aside about a portion of Princeton’s “Forms of Expression” policy that reads “Sleeping in outdoor space of any kind is prohibited,” prompting the organizer to wake up a small number of protesters who appeared to be sleeping. 

“That did not lessen anybody’s spirits,” Rao added. “We’re going strong here this morning and we're almost at 24 hours.”

Approximately 60 people remained in the courtyard deep into the night. Around 3:15 a.m., around 15 more people arrived in small groups, while others left to take their sleep shift.

About a dozen Muslim students began a night prayer, Tahajjud, at around 4:15 a.m. as dawn broke over Dickinson Hall.

Rao said that organizers had not received any communication from the University beyond interactions with PSafe officers, and said there was a bargaining team in place “trying to negotiate our way to divestment.”

Facilities workers began scrubbing chalk reading “Divest Now” on the side of Dickinson Hall around 6:30 a.m.

Friday is the last day of classes for the spring semester.

Correction: The article has been updated to reflect the correct name of the prayer observed by Muslim students at 4:15 a.m.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.
