Strategic Priorities
The Future Has No Walls
We believe that the most promising opportunities for discovery exist at the intersections of disciplines, and that the technologies of the next century will grow out of multidisciplinary partnerships. Similarly, the leaders of tomorrow must be able to bridge multiple interests. To guide our own growth, the dean has identified five major areas for long-term investment:
Bioengineering
A fusion of engineering and the life sciences promises new discoveries, technologies, and therapies to improve human health and the environment. View Bioengineering»
Environment & Energy
Meeting the needs of a growing world population in an environmentally sustainable way is a major challenge of the 21st Century. View Environment & Energy»
Information Technology
Hardware, software and communications are the pillars of information technology. Continuing research in these fields ranges from basic science, through materials and devices, to systems and applications. View Information Technology»
