News Briefs
Go Green, Save $65K
NYIT alumni Matthew Mathosian (B.S. ’11) of EmPower Solar and John Eff (B.S. ’73) recently led two projects to install energy-efficient technologies and save nearly $65K annually on the Old Westbury campus. Projects included the installation of 65 solar panels on the roof of the Green Lodge and the replacement of more than 3,000 light bulbs with energy-efficient lighting in three buildings at NYIT’s College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYCOM). Grants from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority funded both projects.
Wireless Health Care Coming Soon
NYIT professors are applying wireless technology to health care, education, and engineering with the help of a federal grant from the National Science Foundation. The grant will enhance electrical and computer engineering curricula as professors integrate the theoretical and practical aspects of wireless technology into their courses. Students will then explore the potential of wireless technology in biomedical applications.
Medical Makeover Boosts Family Medicine, Geriatrics
Two federal grants for NYCOM totaling more than $2 million are helping NYIT’s medical experts tackle a pair of pressing issues: the nation’s looming shortage of family physicians and the need for more geriatrics training in medical education. NYCOM will accelerate its undergraduate family medicine program from four to three years in an effort to reduce student debt as well as train faculty members and roughly 200 attending physicians and residents at area hospitals in geriatric medicine.
Virtual Museums Granted
A federal grant partnering NYIT with U.S. cultural institutions will bring museum collections into the classrooms of elementary school students via the Internet. NYIT’s Technology-Based Learning Systems is working with the Albany Institute of History and Art to train teachers and museum educators in technology-driven ways to teach about and present museum resources.
New Cultural Center Opens in China
NYIT received a grant from the U.S. Department of State and the American Embassy in Beijing, China, to establish and operate a Center for Humanities and Culture in Nanjing. President Guiliano opened the new center, which offers educational and cultural enrichment, including monthly speakers, movie nights, English-language resources, and conferences on film, language, and literature. One such offering, the NYIT-Nanjing International Film Festival and Symposium, will be held April 21-22, 2012.
NYIT Engineering Is on Top of the World
Innovative programs and a dedication to preparing future leaders earned the NYIT School of Engineering and Computing Sciences the World Congress Asia Award for Best Educational Institute in Engineering. Universities from more than 20 nations were in the running for the award.
NYIT Awarded Economic Development Grant
The School of Engineering and Computing Sciences will use an economic development grant from the New York state government to create a new Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center to promote collaboration among industry, academia, professional organizations, and government.
