We aspire to be an excellent department, providing rewarding educational experiences and undertaking stimulating and challenging research. In visiting our web pages, we hope you sense our excitement.

If you are a potential student, please do not hesitate to request more information if what you find is insufficient for your needs. We are particularly proud of both our undergraduate and graduate students and encourage you to join these illustrious groups.

If you are a visitor from industry, please visit our Industrial Internship Program (IIP) and our Industrial Partnership pages. These describe ways in which you can participate with our students, faculty and staff in cooperative educational and research and development programs. Increased industrial collaboration is one of the important initiatives we started in 1990.
