SUNY Canton earned a spot in the 2021 American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) National Student Steel Bridge Competition following a second-place regional finish.

The group of students on the SUNY Canton Steel Bridge Team came in second to the University at Buffalo in the Upstate New York Regional competition. It was held for the first time as a "Compete from Campus" event, where students entered by submitting a video documenting the construction and testing of their steel bridge.

"I am proud to say that our team has persevered despite pandemic cancellations," said SUNY Canton Instructional Support Associate Paul D. Hitchman, who serves as one of the team's advisors. "They found a way, as virtual as it may be, to compete and succeed in this year's competition."

SUNY Canton students earned first place in the aesthetics category and second place in speed of construction; construction economy; and weight and efficiency. The college now is among 25 schools in the running for the national title, which will again be completed via a video entry and supplementary documentation due May 17.

Civil and Environmental Engineering Technology senior Stephen J. Schermerhorn of Cicero is serving as the captain of the build team. He said the team was able to construct the bridge in a little bit more than four minutes but picked up penalties for dropping pieces or tools.

"We've been practicing continually in preparation for nationals," Schermerhorn said. "I think we'll see fewer, if any, mistakes along with a much quicker run time."

AISC releases a set of rules based on a real-world scenario each fall. Students must then design a bridge that best fits the complicated parameters. The college's bridge is fabricated on campus by Dennis Tuper, an instructional support associate for the Automotive Program and an expert welder.

Speed of construction has traditionally been SUNY Canton's best category, and the entry is typically designed to be assembled rapidly. The students practice assembling the bridge to decrease the amount of time it takes to build it.

Once built, the students must then load the bridge with weights and measure its deflection under the careful watch of an impartial judge. Four other teams who entered this year's regional competition were not able to complete the test due to excessive deflection.

In addition to Schermerhorn, SUNY Canton's 2021 team includes:

Jaden A. Caldwell of Canton

Joshua E. Godbout of Lisbon

Dale R. Harris of Dundee

Darren Leblanc of Brushton

Tristan L. Trombley of Keeseville

Benjamin P. York of Auburn

In addition to Hitchman and Tuper, SUNY Canton's team is advised by Associate Professor Adrienne C. Rygel, who teaches in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Technology program, Instructional Support Technician Neil A. Haney, and Lecturer Andrew Reiter. Assistant Professor Yilei Shi served as the official judge of the on-campus competition.

The steel used to construct the bridge was donated by 1991 alumnus Eric S. Tessmer, who owns Riverside Iron, LLC, Gouverneur. The team also receives support from the Canton College Foundation and the SUNY Canton's President's Office.

As Northern New York's premier college for career-driven bachelor's degrees, associate degrees and professional certificate programs, SUNY Canton delivers quality hands-on programs in engineering technology, management, and healthcare fields. It is home to the Center for Criminal Justice, Intelligence and Cybersecurity. Faculty members are noted for their professional real-world experience in addition to outstanding academic credentials.

A SUNY Canton educator and alumnus who has made a lifetime commitment to students in the skilled trades has earned a career-defining achievement from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).

Dennis E. Tuper, an Instructional Support Associate for the Automotive Technology program, earned the Motor Age Training + ASE Master Automobile and L1 Technician of the Year award. The acknowledgement was given when Tuper achieved the highest cumulative score on eight ASE tests and an advanced engine performance specialist certification examination. He was one of only 48 automotive professionals recognized by ASE this year.

Master Mechanic - SUNY Canton Automotive Technology Instructional Support Associate Dennis E. Tuper of West Potsdam has won a national award. Tuper is pictured in the college's Auto Lab, which is part of the Canino School of Engineering Technology.

"From welding a competition-ready steel bridge to conducting a nut-and-bolt restoration on a custom V8 engine, Dennis can really fix everything," noted Canino School of Engineering Technology Dean Michael J. Newtown. "We've been exceptionally fortunate to have him on our staff and appreciate his patience and knowledge. He's been a tremendous resource for our students."

Tuper is a graduate of the Automotive Technology program. He began working at SUNY Canton in 1999 following a successful career with TJ Toyota in Potsdam. He's been an ASE Master Automobile Technician since 1986. He has earned titles of Chrysler Master Technician, Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician and Silver Level Honda Technician. He finished fourth in the country at the Toyota Master Technician Skills Contest in 1998.

"I found out at an early age that I had a knack for fixing things," Tuper said. "I started out like many technicians working on bikes and lawn mowers. We didn't have a lot of money, so it was something I learned to do or go without. It just manifested into what I am today."

In addition to being an Instructional Support Associate who keeps the automotive laboratory running, Tuper teaches several courses, including welding, automatic transmissions, and manual transmissions and drivetrains.

"I had some terrific help along the way," Tuper noted. "My step-dad, Ralph Planty, was a great general mechanic and fabricator, and had the patience of a saint. My high-school shop teacher, Stuart Valentine, was also a huge influence on my career path, especially when I moved from a technician into the education field."

Tuper is well known for assisting with the college's American Institute of Steel Construction Steel Bridge Team and has been the primary bridge fabricator during the team's 25-year run. He typically spends more than 100 hours a year welding the bridge following student designs. Tuper and retired Instructional Support Associate Paul D. Hitchman won the SUNY Canton College Council's Excellence in College Service Award in 2013 for their work with the team.

Other than the annual Student Steel Bridge Competition, he said his favorite memories with the college were the two times he brought groups of Auto Club students and faculty members to the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas.

"It's the largest automotive aftermarket merchandising convention in the world and is reserved for those associated with an automotive trade," Tuper said. "It was a great time, and I was happy to be part of those groups."

Tuper's support of students is not bound to the classroom. He sponsors an Automotive Student Textbook Scholarship given annually to a second-year Automotive Technology student through the SUNY Canton College Foundation, Inc.

"Jesse Briggs was the first student to benefit from my textbook scholarship in 2013, even before I made it official through the Foundation," Tuper recalled "I picked up the cost of his textbooks for his last two semesters, but there was a catch. He had to agree to walk the stage at commencement."

Tuper even paid for Briggs' cap and gown for graduation. Briggs went on to become a certified master automobile technician at a Volkswagen dealership and earned his four-year SUNY Canton degree in 2017. "He's a true success story that I was privileged to be a part of," he said.

He said his future plans include retiring from the college, and perhaps focusing on some of his hobbies. He enjoys gardening, hunting, fishing, woodworking or riding his four-wheeler, snowmobile, and Harley Davidson. He also volunteers with the American Legion. "Working in my woodlot is also great therapy," he said.

Tuper lives in West Potsdam with his partner, Debra S. LaBrake, who works for the SUNY Canton College Association in the Campus Center Store.

SUNY Canton's new Esports Wing has become a home away from home with student residents building friendships based on a love of video games.

The college unveiled the latest themed housing option at the beginning of the fall 2021 semester in Heritage Hall East. The wing features 36 newly renovated double-occupancy rooms with black-stained wooden loft beds and desks tucked under each bunk, capable of housing students' custom gaming machines. Walls are painted in SUNY Canton blue and gold, mirroring themes found in the college's Esports Arena.

An overhead view of the common area in Heritage Hall East at SUNY Canton, home of the new Esports Wing. The college outfitted the space with 10 Dell Alienware high-end gaming computers so students can play competitively from their residence hall.

Approximately 70 students currently live in the wing and there is a waiting list for those who want to move in. The newly furnished residence rooms designed for individual gaming attracted students to the space, and then the camaraderie they developed with their peers clinched the experience of living on campus. Andrew J. Lukan, a Game Design and Development major from Beacon, described life in the wing as an exceptional experience that has allowed him to build new relationships.

"Having an assumption that the other people around you are in the same demographic and like the same things as you make it much easier to approach everyone and strike up a conversation," Lukan said. "I was able to talk to everyone who came outside to the lounge, and I've made a lot of good friends here."

Pictured in the foreground right is Andrew J. Lukan, a Game Design and Development major from Beacon, playing in the common area of SUNY Canton's new esports wing.

Lukan is on the Guilty Gear Strive esports team. He said on his second day he met up with another player, Cooper J. Hewison of Delmar, who played the same games. "The genre is very niche, so it's always an amazing feeling to find someone in person you can play with," Lukan said. "He's become a good training partner and one of my best friends here on campus."

When students aren't in their rooms, they are typically enthusiastically playing around the large circular gaming space in the common area. The college outfitted the wing with 10 Dell Alienware gaming PCs and gaming chairs. "We designed the space as a secondary competition location for when we have more games than computers available," said SUNY Canton Esports Coordinator Charles W. Murray. "Students can play 11 games in the SUNY Esports League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, in addition to other collegiate gameplay, so we have a very full schedule."

SUNY Canton was the first SUNY college to offer varsity esports and one of the very first to create a dedicated arena. Based on the continuing popularity of video games, the college also created a four-year academic program in Esports Management. "Our students have led the way in every aspect of developing our esports program," said Randy B. Sieminski, SUNY Canton Athletic Director. "I wouldn't say we are innovators; I'd say we simply listen to our students' ideas and requests. By listening to our students, we continue to build and create great things in Esports. The new Esports Wing is the latest aspect to become wildly popular right from the start."

Lexa L. Leach, a SUNY Canton Graphic and Multimedia Design major from Naples, sits at her desk beneath a loft bed in her Esports Wing residence hall room.

Not every resident of the wing is involved with esports. Lexa L. Leach, a Graphic and Multimedia Design major from Naples, said she plays Minecraft, and has begun playing League of Legends and Sea of Thieves with her friends, but does not play on a team.

"I came to Canton not playing a lot of games, I never even had a good PC to play on," Leach said. "People here are quick to recommend games if you don't know what to play."

She said she was surprised to learn how active her area would be in Heritage Hall. "I certainly didn't think that the East Wing would be the most social out of the three, but hey, I'm glad to have lots of people to talk to," she said.

Matthew M. Hodgdon, an HVAC Trades student from Hammond, is an avid video game enthusiast who enjoys a variety of team-based and independent games. He said he doesn't play on an esports team but likes to play competitively on his own or with his friends. He echoed the thoughts of his neighbors from Heritage East. "Living in the Esports Wing is awesome and its full of really friendly people" he said. "The people here can push you to become better at gaming."

The Esports Wing was a team project spearheaded by Residence Life, the Physical Plant, Information Technology, and the Athletic Department. It is the newest of several themed housing options available in the college's residence halls. The Pet Wings in Mohawk Hall allow more than 100 students to live on campus with their animal companions.

The answer to two SUNY Canton students' senior project is blowing in the wind.

Jerome Joseph and Andrew P. Fitch collaboratively rebuilt the control mechanism and testing equipment for aerodynamic experiments in the college's wind tunnel.

Previously, the college's equipment was only capable of calculating drag and lift of a stationary object. Using NASA designs, the pair of future engineers upgraded the entire unit with three servo motors and designed custom 3D printed parts to generate more accurate data for experimentation.

"We can change the orientation of the object in a fluid stream," Joseph said. "We can determine how those changes affects the drag and lift force."

All the tests were conducted using a scale model of an airplane wing, again implementing NASA designs. "We knew if we could replicate their findings, we'd know that our wind tunnel and our design works," Fitch said.

Joseph and Fitch's project will help future students study aerodynamics. "If someone wanted to, they could test a model of any object," Joseph said. "They'd be able to use our project and see how their design reacts."

The college's wind tunnel draws air through a large opening across the mounted object, which is attached to the students' apparatus. Roll, pitch, and yaw are all controlled via a computer using an Arduino motor controller. The interface and software were also developed by Joseph and Fitch. The pair also added sensors to measure the air speed, velocity and temperature to further analyze their findings.

Joseph is from the Bronx, and Fitch came to Canton from Melbourne, Australia. Both students will be graduating from the college's four-year Mechanical Engineering Technology program Saturday, May 15. Joseph is seeking employment and Fitch is planning on continuing his education and research at Clarkson University, Potsdam.
