Emerging Technologies
We are dedicated to learning, exploring, and testing new technologies. This page lists the technologies we have some insight into, though it should be noted that all of the information about emerging tech is in constant flux and may be out of date soon after we publish it.
Navigating AI with Engineering IT
Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is transforming research, instruction, and administration across higher education. Engineering IT is committed to helping the Grainger College of Engineering community evaluate, adopt, and use AI responsibly and effectively. Our mission, charged by Engineering Dean Bashir, is to guide faculty, researchers, and staff through the rapidly evolving A.I. landscape — providing expert advice, secure integration pathways, and alignment with university policies and data protection standards.

Infrastructure Consulting
The Infrastructure team uses the term "Infrastructure Consultation" to describe a knowledge transfer between the infrastructure team and either another Engineering IT team, campus IT group, vendor, or faculty/staff member or group. The knowledge transfer is typically around a topic that one or both parties of the exchange are not familiar with, and knowledge is shared both ways. Sometimes there is a pointed problem to solve or system to instantiate. Sometimes there is just an exploration of technologies or processes. The infrastructure team is well positioned to participate in these consultations because of the array of technologies the team supports and works with on a regular basis. Regardless of the intent of the consultation, the outcome results in more informed constituents in the Grainger College of Engineering.
