State University of New York Chancellor John B. King Jr. recently visited SUNY Polytechnic Institute\u2019s Utica campus as part of his 64 campus tour. Throughout his three-hour visit, he engaged in conversations with campus community members and highlighted future opportunities for the institute.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Kicking off the day, the Chancellor received a tour led by Interim Dean of the College of Engineering Dr. Michael Carpenter, where they explored the Center for Global Advanced Manufacturing<\/a> (CGAM) in Donovan Hall. CGAM offers students and collaborators the opportunity to engage with various manufacturing processes, with facilities that include additive manufacturing 3D printing, digital prototyping equipment, CNC machine tools, CMM inspection, SEM and AFM analyses, static and dynamic\/fatigue testing, and robotics equipment. CGAM is an inter-regional manufacturing innovation resource that enables industry\/academic collaborations and serves as a training ground for the next generation workforce. Both students and faculty alike had the opportunity to share their ongoing research and projects.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
