David D. Reh School of Business Newsletter: March 2024

Message From the Dean

Welcome to the March edition of the Reh School of Business Newsletter! It's been a busy winter here in the North Country; we added a new bachelor of science degree program and received national recognition for already existing programs. In addition, one of our professors has co-authored a new book that had its global launch earlier this year. I hope you enjoy reading about our latest developments as we continue to design programs in partnership with business leaders and entrepreneurs to meet the needs of the world's most innovative organizations!

— Bebonchu Atems, Interim Dean of the Reh School of Business

New BS Degree

Five students sitting at a long table with notebook computers, while a teacher stands by them at a wall-mounted whiteboard.

The Reh School is offering a new bachelor of science degree in business administration. The program allows students to select all of their business elective courses from the diverse range of business courses, rather than prescribing the course areas they must concentrate on to fulfill more discipline-specific degrees.

The bachelor of science in business analytics degree is the newest of our business programs to be STEM-designated. The Reh School is among an elite cadre of higher education institutions that offer degrees recognized by the U.S. government as STEM-designated programs. The BS in engineering and management, MS in healthcare data analytics and MBA in business analytics are also STEM-designated.

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Newsletter: March 2024

Message From the Chair

Welcome to the March issue of the Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Newsletter. This edition presents two new grants for solar-related research, interesting findings on respiratory particle emissions, and other recent activities of our students, faculty and alumni. I hope you enjoy reading about our achievements as we continue to develop and implement innovative solutions in mechanical and aerospace engineering.

— Brian Helenbrook, Professor/Chair of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering/Paynter-Krigman Endowed Professor in Engineering Science Simulation

Children's Respiratory Particle Emissions

Red AAAR logo with acronym "AAAR" in white letters at bottom and graphic of vertical lines above.

An article published by a research team, which includes Prof. Byron Erath, in the journal Aerosol Science and Technology explains its findings that age influences the size and quantity of respiratory particle emissions in humans during activities, with children releasing fewer and smaller particles than adults. Thus, incorporating age demographics into disease transmission models may improve their accuracy.
