Love to see a full circle moment for alumni. 👏🐅 Jennifer Wozniak ’06 (civil engineering technology) in Facilities Management Services. From co-op to managing the construction of the 39,000 sq ft research building, you are definitely no stranger to RIT! #rit #engineeringdegree #highered #civil #constructionmanagement #urbandevelopment #smartcities #engineeringtechnology #engineeringtechnologyjob
The new RIT research building is in its final construction phase with exterior work nearly complete and interior design set to begin. Several campus research teams will move-in by the new year. Combining a more open look and flexible spaces over two floors, the research building complements RIT’s traditional bricks and will showcase activities and people within the building, said Tori Budgeon-Baker, associate director of Planning and Design Services, part of RIT’s Facilities Management Services (FMS). “Our buildings were already evolving with new materials and styles that complement the bricks,” said Budgeon-Baker. https://brnw.ch/21wKQwk

When people ask what makes us different than other engineering colleges, we tell them about students like Yusef, empowering and inspiring. We’re thrilled to be a part of your story! 🚀 #rit #ritengtech #undergradengineering #engineering #engineeringjobs #engineeringtechnology #graduateschool
GM Intern | Founder of SEP | Electrical Controls Engineer Intern @General Motors | Circuits TA + YouTube | RA | 4th year Electrical Engineering Tech @ RIT
I have been a teaching assistant (TA) in my department, RIT College of Engineering Technology, for the last 3 three semesters. I have had the wonderful opportunity to TA for and make an impact on over 200 students in this role (180 students in lecture, 40 in lab/technical skills). What started as a campus job in an area of interest, has now become my passion and one of my favorite things to do at RIT. It has truly been an incredible journey of helping others understand concepts and learn more about analog circuits, as well as work alongside esteemed professor Lynn Foley in the EEET 115 Circuits 1 course. Each semester comes with its own unique challenges. Here are some highlights from this past spring semester: I was able to put a higher emphasis on helping students in new and different ways. I started a YouTube channel, TA Yusef Circuits, to upload videos that carefully walk through concepts and solve problems with the approaches students learn during lectures. I have now created and uploaded 4 videos that deal with some of the more difficult concepts in the class, and plan to make more in the future. In addition, I have started to include more digital resources for students. My portfolio website now includes previous and current exam review guides, worked out solutions, lesson highlights, and class notes. Also, I had the opportunity to face exam preparation head on with the students this semester. I collaborated with another amazing TA, Kayla Almonte, to organize and facilitate exam review sessions with open availability to students from all sections of the course. It is exciting to note that at the 2nd review session of the semester, we had around 50 students attend! It was quite inspiring to have a turnout of that many students at a student-led review session. I can’t wait to return to the role and continue making an impact on my peers, colleagues, and professors. I am sending my thanks to all who I have collaborated with while in this position including all the professors, peers, TA buddies, and students.

Congratulations on this feature and all your success so far, Yangming Lee! We're honored to have an innovator like you on our team, inspiring students to make a difference every day. Lee is one of our assistant professors in our Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology and is at the forefront of research in robot-surgeon collaborations. Hospitals are increasingly training surgeons with robots, and Lee’s project aims to break down the barriers in this critical partnership. His groundbreaking work using advanced tracking systems is allowing surgeons to reach areas once thought of as impossible. These systems can improve precision in resection—surgery to remove tissue or part or all of an organ, meaning better accuracy for less invasive surgeries. And more advancements are on the way. Lee was awarded a National Institutes of Health grant to dynamically track surgical modifications and deformations to enable real-time planning for supervised autonomy in robotic surgeries. 🤖 🚀 #rittigers #innovation #future #robotics #roboticsresearch #engineeringresearch #mechanicalengineering #engineeringuniversity #undergradengineering #gradengineering #rit #healthcare #surgeryrobots #autonomy #roboticsundergrad #roboticsgrad #nyrobotics
Improved communication between robots and people is part of the human-centered philosophy that anchors much of RIT’s work in robotics. Using bio-information to adapt to humans—rather than the other way around—robots are becoming sophisticated enough to predict behaviors and act on them. “Change is driven by workforce and marketplace demands and the growth of machine learning technologies,” said Robert Garrick, head of the RIT College of Engineering Technology Department of Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology. “This is where industry is today and where our students need to be. This translates to job opportunities and placements.” https://brnw.ch/21wJXT4

Congratulations, Orlando! 👏
In January, Orlando Ortiz ’04 (manufacturing engineering technology), ’08 (MBA) took over as the RIT Alumni Association president and will serve for two years. “I’m excited to get feedback from alumni who don’t know what the Alumni Association really does, and for people to express interest in learning more,” said Ortiz, who will also serve on the RIT Board of Trustees during his two-year term. “We have the ability to ensure we’re engaging our alumni in the right ways so we can support RIT.” https://brnw.ch/21wJyM6
