RIT Racing and teams from Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, India and the United States will field race cars, built by student-engineers, and test them on a track that will challenge not only the durability of the cars but the problem-solving capabilities of the teams during the 2019 Baja SAE Rochester World Challenge June 6-9.

Meet Brady Smith, a fourth-year civil engineering technology student and captain of this year’s Concrete Canoe team.

Concrete canoes float—really. And bridges are more complicated to construct than putting up a few steel beams. Student-engineers who build both the unusual—yet attractive—canoes and complex bridge spans will display their designs at the 2019 Upstate New York Regional Student Conference taking place April 19-20 at RIT.

Meet Dempsey King, a fourth-year civil engineering technology student, who is one of three RIT wrestlers who qualified for the 2019 NCAA Division III Championship tournament.

More than 60 students in the civil engineering technology program have participated in department organized (or independent) study abroad programs since 2010. We promote and encourage our students to learn professional skills while they travel to places like Ireland and Croatia.

For the second year in a row, RIT civil engineering technology undergraduates took top placements at the annual Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) Region I student construction management competition.

Meet Thomas Trytek ’91 (civil engineering technology), the College of Applied Science and Technology 2017 Distinguished Alumnus.

Justin Hamilton and Christopher Stern were standing on the basketball court sidelines in 1998 when they started talking about majors. That was the beginning of Hamilton Stern Construction, a company that was No. 1 on the Rochester Chamber Top 100 list of fastest growing private companies in 2016.
