From the Dean
September has been an exciting month in the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences. We welcomed students back to campus and began in-person blended instruction. While continuing to monitor the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff, our college is offering a robust educational experience based on the comprehensive, flexible plan developed by the University’s and the college’s leadership teams. It is beginning to feel like our “old” normal.
In addition, as you can see in this issue, our faculty and students have continued to transform the engineering and technological landscape. Thanks to the efforts of multiple stakeholders, we are enhancing economic development, creating innovative ways of learning and opening new pathways to student success. This issue highlights several of these initiatives, including the collaborative project between our college and the College of Business, which is designed to strengthen our graduates’ position in today’s global economic and manufacturing marketplace and the expansion of the successful e-learning tools offered by the Center for Aviation and Automotive Technological Education to the workforce in these two critical areas.
This issue also recognizes the success of several of our outstanding students, alumni and faculty as well as their efforts and gifts that strengthen and enhance our ability to graduate the innovators and leaders of the future. They, like all of our alumni, supporters and friends of the college, are crucial to our success.
As always, your generosity is appreciated. If you would like to support the college, you can do so by clicking on the “Make a Gift” button below. Many of you have graciously and willingly offered your time and treasure in the past, and I wholeheartedly thank each of you. I hope that in the near future I can express my appreciation in person.
Stay healthy and safe,
Anand K. Gramopadhye, Dean
