Autobiography of brook information systems engineering

Staff from Biomedical Engineering, Clinical Transformation and Networking and Infrastructure described the coordination and teamwork required to deliver new technology which includes an infant security system, the launching of an entirely new telemetry monitoring system, implementation of a real-time location system (RTLS) to track patients working their way through the MART and additional technology including room link monitors, myStation functions, the “Y” configuration, which allows nursing to monitor patients from a computer station that provides line of sight to two patients at once, and an upgraded pneumatic tube system.

Julie Luengas, the Chief Nursing Informatics Officer, noted the importance of tackling nursing and physician workflow with the use of the new technology. “It was extremely important to engage with the clinicians to design and optimize workflow in order to direct the planning process,” Julie said.

Besides the formal “Day in the Life” workflow practice sessions that were coordinated through the Transition Steering Committee, the IT team worked with nursing and physicians to conduct additional “Day in the Life” practice sessions with end users to support the team prior to the go-live date of Nov. 17.

“SBMIT is quite a large and multi-faceted organization especially when you factor in our contingents at SBSH, SBELIH, SBAS, and CPMP,” said Gerald Kelly, DO, Interim Chief Information Officer and Chief Medical Information Officer for Stony Brook Medicine. The SBMIT teams that contributed mightily to the MART/Pavilion project include:

• Technology: Network Services, System Administration, Client Support, Biomedical Engineering, Help Desk, Communications
• Applications: Clinical Applications, Revenue Cycle/Registration, Lab/Radiology/Ancillary Applications, Interface Design
• Transformation: Clinical Transformation, Analytics, Training, Patient Engagement Technologies, Custom Development, Web Teams
• Administrative: Project Management, IT Fi

Systems engineering: challenging complexity

The Brooke Owens Fellowship Program provides paid internships and executive mentorship to undergraduate women in aerospace, including this systems engineer.

As a leading aerospace and defense contractor, Northrop Grumman is dedicated to supporting the career growth of those aspiring to be a part of the industry, including fellowship programs. One of its fellowship programs that brings bright students to the company is the Brooke Owens Fellowship, a program that provides paid internships and executive mentorship to undergraduate women in aerospace.

Each year, the program places two interns with the company to learn about the business and get hands-on experience. This year we will be welcoming back former fellow Sumayya Abukhalil as a full-time employee. Sumayya supported multiple programs during her fellowship as a systems engineer; the majority of her time was spent on the Commercial Infrastructure for Robotic Assembly and Services (CIRAS) Program, which matured robotic in-space assembly technologies for NASA.

As a now full-time engineer, Sumayya is most looking forward to making a lasting impact on the space industry. “Developing infrastructure in space to allow humanity to better and more efficiently explore the universe is my passion. I can’t wait to contribute to that grand idea as a systems engineer,” she said.

We sat down with Sumayya to get some more insight into her experience at Northrop Grumman and why she decided to join the company as a full-time engineer.

What was your feeling when you were matched with Northrop Grumman?

When I found out I was matched with Northrop Grumman, I was ecstatic. Though, I have to admit, I hadn’t realized the company was going to be such a good match for me until after I had my interview. I’m very grateful for how keen the team was on wanting to place me in a program that would suit my career interests, which are primarily related to in-space manufacturing and development. After I

Andrea Goldsmith, dean of Princeton University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, has been selected to serve as the next president of Stony Brook University, effective Aug. 1, 2025. The State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees confirmed Goldsmith’s appointment during a meeting Feb. 19.

Goldsmith, the Arthur LeGrand Doty Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has been dean of engineering since September 2020 when she came to Princeton from Stanford University. As dean she led a period of major growth, increasing the size of the faculty by 29% to 189; Ph.D. enrollment by 31% to 849; undergraduate enrollment by 22% to 1,829; and annual sponsored research expenditures by 24% to $90 million.

Goldsmith was instrumental in establishing the Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute as well as interdisciplinary research initiatives in robotics, blockchain, wireless technologies, and artificial intelligence. She grew the school’s activity and profile around corporate engagement, innovation, and entrepreneurship, including launching a program, Design for Impact, that takes a multidisciplinary approach to shaping and launching new ventures to tackle difficult societal challenges. She helped attract the HAX start-up accelerator to New Jersey and establish a statewide NJ AI Hub at Princeton. Her tenure included the construction of two major new buildings for engineering, which are slated to open in October.

“Andrea Goldsmith is a bold, visionary, and entrepreneurial leader who is committed to academic excellence and to facilitating education and research that enhances people’s lives,” said President Christopher L. Eisgruber. “I am grateful to Andrea for her many achievements at Princeton, and I wish her every success as she takes the helm at another of America’s leading research universities.”

“It has been a tremendous pleasure and honor to serve as Princeton’s dean of engineering,” Goldsmith said. “I am very proud of everything we have a
