It is a graduate school of New York University focusing on urban informatics.[1] It opened in September 2013, and is temporarily located in the MetroTech Center in Downtown Brooklyn. History and backgroundIn July 2011, Mayor Michael Bloomberg issued a request for proposals to all universities worldwide to build an engineering and applied sciences campus in New York City. The winner(s) of this competition would receive significant funding from the city in order to build this campus.[2] NYU submitted a proposal to build a school of applied urban science in Downtown Brooklyn, in an underused MTA building, with the aim of confronting the world's pressing urban challenges. The proposal was declared the second winner in April 2012 by Mayor Bloomberg after various negotiations with the city government and the MTA. During the celebration ceremony, Steve Koonin was named as the director of CUSP.[3] CampusCUSP will be located at 370 Jay Street in a {{Convert|460000|ft2|0}} building along with other academic units of NYU,[4] once the old MTA equipment in the building is removed and the building is completely renovated. In the meantime, NYU established CUSP in leased space in MetroTech and classes began in September 2013. The projected year of completion for the permanent building is 2017.[5] AcademicsCUSP teaches the principles and scientific investigative tools and techniques to interrogate and combine city datasets to tackle real urban challenges.[6] Subjects developed for CUSP's curricula include urban engineering, civil engineering, computer science, and electrical engineering.[1] Besides students accepted directly to CUSP, graduate students from other schools of NYU will be invited to study at CUSP, as well as students from CUSP's partner universities, which include Carnegie Mellon University, CUNY, The Indian Institute of Technology - Bombay, The University of Toronto, and The University of Warwick.[7] CUSP will also have industry partners to assist with research, which include IBM, Cisco, Siemens, Con Edison, National Grid, Xerox, Arup, IDEO, and AECOM.[5] CUSP offers a M.S. degree in Applied Urban Science and Informatics,[8] and an Advanced Graduate Certificate program.[9] The M.S. program also has a track in Civil Analytics,[10] and an extended (2 year) form to allow students to meet full-time degree requirements on a part-time basis. CUSP's inaugural class of 23 students was inducted on August 26, 2013, and graduated in July 2014.[11][12] CUSP's second cohort of 64 students graduated in July 2015. The current cohort, the class of 2016 has 89 students. CUSP sponsored and contributed to "Big Data, Privacy, and the Public Good: Frameworks for Engagement", a pioneering book on the intersection of big data, privacy and the public.[13][14] ResearchSince its inception, CUSP has been engaged in a range of research projects across transportation, energy, pollution, waste management, light and sound pollution, including:[15]
