DEAN'S MESSAGE
|
CoE steps into Spring and the new academic quarter with
renewed energy and anticipation. We expect the continuation of excellence
within our engineering program. The leadership demonstrated by our
faculty and students is a vision shared by the entire CoE community and guides
us in overcoming future challenges. With this vision, we encourage the
advancement of collaborative research demonstrated by Dr. Minjun Kim and the
development of new programs such as DUCA. We also look forward to engaging
our fellow engineers in upcoming events that apply practical hands-on skills
and networking opportunities. Please join me as we engineer new frontiers!
-Selçuk Güçeri, Dean
