In 2015, the Genesee Country Village & Museum stopped firing cannons during Civil War reenactments in the historic village because the black powder charges appeared to be damaging windows and buildings. To help reintroduce cannon fire, four fifth-year engineering students are identifying the cause of the damage and creating a best practices procedure to protect the buildings while maintaining authenticity.

Iris Rivero, a faculty-researcher at Iowa State University and expert in additive and hybrid manufacturing, was recently named department head of industrial and systems engineering at RIT.

Technology development for “smart” forklifts and trucks that communicate with each other is underway at RIT where a team of engineers is building a next-generation intelligent materials handling system.

Five graduate engineering students participated in an intensive, three-day work experience at the Raymond Corp. and were challenged to find ways to improve one of the company's manufacturing workflow processes.
