As we kick off the new year, I’m excited to announce our new biannual newsletter to keep you up to date with all the important happenings at the College of Engineering. We recently celebratedour 75th-year anniversary, hosting events throughout the year focused on the future of scientific discovery and industry innovation. We hope you were able to join us. There will be more opportunities to connect this year as well, so please be on the lookout for future announcements in your inbox.
As members of the community, you are proof of the College of Engineering’s groundbreaking approach to teaching and research. We have recently launched several initiatives in line with the College’s goal of achieving preeminence: A) Health Engineering, B) Aerosol Science and Technology, C) Clean Energy (with verticals in Renewable Energy, Energy Storage, Carbon Reduction, Climate Engineering, and Autonomous Mobility), D) Advanced Materials, and E) Advanced Computing.
We are proud of all we have accomplished in the past year, but we could not have done it without you. Coming together as a community makes us stronger. This year, consider amplifying the College's story by supporting our upcoming events.By using theGivebutton at the end of this newsletter, you're directly shining a light on groundbreaking research our faculty and students are leading.Any amount makes a difference.
We hope you had a great holiday season. Together, we'll be sure to make 2023 a year to remember. We look forward to seeing you on campus.
Go 'Canes!
