Andrew Wolfe holds degrees in Surveying Technology (A. Eng.), Civil Engineering Technology (A.

Dr. Wolfe also became interested in the Erie Canal and was on the team that recovered the structures in Albany's Little Basin area (Lock 1, Weigh Lock, Little Basin).  He also developed, with an economist, an interdisciplinary course on the Interactions between Society and Engineering as it pertained to transportation systems. In 2003, Dr. Wolfe moved to SUNYPOLY as an Assistant Professor in the Civil Engineering Technology program.  At SUNYIT he taught courses in civil engineering tech, in interdisciplinary studies, and developed the Civil Engineering program. In the Civil Engineering program, he has taught courses in transportation, environmental engineering, and several of the lower division courses. He has also served as department chair, coordinator and Interim Dean of the College of Engineering. Currently, Dr. Wolfe is a member of the Albany Waterway Board and is leading the team which is uncovering the eastern end of Lock 1.
