Agenda

Carl Selinger supports aviation and transportation organizations with business strategy and new technologies application. While serving as Manager at the PANYNJ, Carl developed business, concessions and technology initiatives to improve services and increase revenues at Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark Liberty airports. Carl holds degrees in civil and transportation engineering from Cooper Union, Yale University, and Polytechnic University. He is currently an active participant in American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE); Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE); American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE); and Women’s Transportation Seminar (WTS). He was the first male WTS member in the New York chapter. Under the WTS mentorship program, Carl has mentored young professionals for over 10 years with honors from the Greater NY Chapter as “1998 Member of the Year.”

Carl has extensive college teaching experience as an Adjunct Professor of Civil Engineering at The Cooper Union where his education platform, over 35 years, has familiarized students with urban transportation planning.

He is a faculty advisor to Cooper Union’s chapter of Tau Beta Pi (the national engineering honorary society), which elected him as “Eminent Engineer.” In addition, Carl has functioned as a Past President of the Cooper Union Alumni Association and was Cooper Union’s “1993 Alumnus of the Year.” He has taught graduate-level aviation and transportation planning courses at SUNY Maritime College, Pace University, New Jersey Institute of Technology and City University of New York (York College and City College).

Welcome: Members and students from other IEEE Sections, professional societies and engineering disciplines are always welcome.
