RIT students showcase creativity and innovation in industrial design.

Reviewed by Madi Wagner / ROClocal.org

Aubrey Thies, a third-year industrial design student at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), shared that working at RIT during the summer has been an educational experience for her. She has gained knowledge in using different machines and has been able to focus on personal projects. Thies finds working in a small team that encourages collaboration to be the best part of the experience, as she has learned a lot from her peers.

Tiree Walker, an RIT industrial design alum from the class of 2021, currently serves as a CAD Instructional Support Specialist and FabLab manager. Walker is currently working on restoring a 1978 MG Midget by installing tracking dots on the vehicle and performing a 3D scan. This scan will help him create templates for replacement panels and fenders. Walker's next step in the restoration process will be scanning the engine bay.

The work being done by both Thies and Walker showcases the creativity and ingenuity that thrives at RIT during the summer. The projects involve a mix of student learning, hands-on experience, and innovation in the field of industrial design.
