Senior Tailynn McCarty spent her summer conducting bioengineering research at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. She investigated mouse embryonic stem cells, MCF-7 breast cancer cells and more.

The second annual Leadership Networking Breakfast was held prior to the URI Engineering and Technology Career Fair to give student leaders of engineering organizations an opportunity to speak to industry representatives in a quieter, more private setting.

More than 70 students, representing 40 different majors, presented their projects at the 2018 URI Showcase for Undergraduate Research, Scholarly & Creative Works. Winning first place for a poster in a STEM subject was engineering student Elizabeth Lux.

University of Rhode Island teams captured the top two spots in the annual HealthHacks RI competition. The URI team Wengineers won the $1,000 first prize for a product that would help prevent bed sores.

The URI Engineering and Technology Career Fair will take place on Oct. 3 at the Ryan Center, from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. More than 85 companies and organizations will be represented this year.

IoT Sunday prepares URI students for the lab portion of their studies by giving them some valuable hands-on experience with micro-controllers. Eighteen engineering and computer science students participated in this year’s event.

Gözde Cay, who is pursuing a doctorate in electrical engineering at URI, will have a unique opportunity to receive feedback on her research from industry leaders at the upcoming Connections in Smart Health Workshop in Arlington, Va.

JohnRobert Gimler, a student in URI’s International Engineering Program, who is earning bachelor’s degrees in mechanical engineering and German, was chosen from a national pool of 75 candidates to participate in an educational exchange program.

URI assistant professor Kunal Mankodiya and two of his students recently did a demonstration of 3-D printed, robotic prosthetic hands at Peace Dale Elementary School.
