Every Day Matters: Studying Abroad: A Lesson in Collaboration

Civil engineering master's student Abbie Snyder describes what she experienced abroad as part of Rensselaer's Bedford Program, which consists of two courses (one seminar and one studio) that pair up architecture and structural engineering students for various design projects. After completing the courses, students are invited to apply for the end-of-year Bedford Traveling Workshop, which is designed to showcase feats of architect and engineer collaboration around the world.

HVCC, RPI Partner to Offer New Introductory Robotics Class

Hudson Valley Community College is partnering with Rensselaer to offer a unique four-credit course, Introduction to Robotics, to begin during the fall semester. The hands-on course (CISS 180) will be co-taught by professors from both institutions (Dean O'Dell and Linda Lim from HVCC, Kimberly Oakes and Glenn Saunders from RPI) and introduce students to the multi-disciplinary field of robotics, using state-of-the-art industrial robots from FANUC and Universal Robots.
