Education
Hello
My name is Ryan Henry, and I am a graduate from Rochester Institute of Technology (R.I.T) with a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering focusing on Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Bio-robotics. I have recently graduated (May 2022) and am prepared to start my professional journey to hopefully improve the world we live in.
My Education
My college education began in August 2017 when I arrived at R.I.T for my first semester. Originally when I had applied to the school, I had applied to be a chemical engineer but did not make it into the exclusive program and was offered to join the engineering exploration program, a program to help teach what each engineering group does, as a placeholder until I could transfer into my desired major. After going through the information presented in the class, I instead chose to follow my childhood passion of invention and robotics and go into the Electrical Engineering program as it had a robotics concentration that served me the exactly the information that I wanted.
Arriving in the program, much of my first year or so (second semester through the fourth) was spent going through intro classes such as Circuits I & II, Digital Systems I & II, several Calculus classes and most of the general education classes that were required. Starting my 5th semester (Fall 2019) was when the real interesting classes began. The robotics classes from my concentration began with Robotic Systems and my other classes included Electromagnetic Fields and Transmission Lines and Digital Electronics. I started learning skills in coding (focused in C, Assembly, and Arduino [a C++ derivative]), 3D CAD modelling (specifically in SolidWorks), and various mechanical and motion calculations in order to design robots from the ground up.
More specialty classes were taken before the Covid-19 pandemic forced learning online, luckily only fully remote for a single semester, which led to some new learning opportunities as teaching methods updated that included getting experience with more software tools such as TI's Code Composer Studio, Digilent Waveforms, MATLAB, Gazebo/RVIZ/ROS, Linux, and OrCAD PSPICE. This also led into my Co-op (Feb 2021 - August 2021) where many projects and tasks increased and diversified my skill portfolio.
​
Finally came the end of my education with the senior design project, advanced robotics classes, and my immersion classes in Archaeology (classes in a specific subject taken outside of the major but is not equivalent to a minor) as well as introductions to AI, machine learning, and human-robot interfaces.
