| Exploring Rutgers Engineering |
|
|
Engineering Planet seeks to expand students' knowledge of what engineering is and what engineers do. New discoveries and technological solutions are the results of research conducted by engineers and scientists. Examples of current research are illustrated through connections to eight engineering departments in the School of Engineering. Short descriptions are given of the undergraduate and graduate student academic programs in these engineering fields. New ideas, applications, and problems in need of solutions continue to fuel the multifaceted research and educational activities in these engineering departments at Rutgers.

|
 |
|
Bioresource Engineering utilizes the physical and biological sciences in solving problems related to plants, animals, food, wastes and our natural environment. Graduates of this program have a unique engineering education enabling them to apply the rapid advances being made in the biological and environmental sciences for the benefit of mankind. This program prepares students for immediate employment as practicing engineers with industrial companies, government agencies and private consulting firms, for international service, or for additional study at the graduate level. |

Undergraduate work in ceramics emphasizes high- temperature phenomena in the entire field of inorganic chemistry and is no longer limited to the traditional field of clay products. In addition, it embraces both the crystalline and glassy phases of the materials concerned. Courses and research projects include studies of phase equilibria and the measurement of heat and temperature; the relation of ceramic materials to radiation of all frequencies, from gamma rays to microwaves; and the fundamental relationships: structure- property- processing- performance. |

The Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering (CBE) at Rutgers is relatively young. Since its inception in 1962, the department has become one of the fastest rising chemical engineering programs in the nation (National Research Council (NRC) report, 1995). Since the early 1990's, the department has grown tremendously, adding twelve new faculty in strategic areas of importance, and has witnessed over $6 million of spending on renovations and modernization. The departmental community is comprised of 80 graduate students, 10 postdoctoral fellows, 240 undergraduates, seven research faculty, several visiting professors, a large support staff, and 18 full-time faculty actively involved in teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, performing leading-edge research, and publishing scientific papers and books. The high faculty-to-student ratio provides graduate students with ready accessibility to the faculty as well as active mentorship. |

The undergraduate program in civil and environmental engineering provides broad and thorough education to students in civil engineering fundamentals, applications, and design in order to prepare graduates for the practice of professional engineering. To enable graduates to meet challenges posed by an ever-changing society and advancing technology, the program provides a broad background in many of the different areas of civil engineering, and sound exposure to engineering sciences, humanities, and social sciences. The undergraduate curriculum permits students to have an area of concentration in structures, geotechnical engineering, construction engineering, or water resources/environmental engineering. Students have considerable freedom to select a variety of departmental electives, technical electives, and, in the senior year, capstone design courses to form a concentrated area of study. |

Consistent with the stated mission of the University, the mission of the Electrial and Computer Engineering Program is to prepare its graduates for a rapidly-changing technological field. Students are provided with a broad and thorough education in electrical and computer engineering fundamentals, applications and design so as to prepare them for a career in the electrial and computer engineering profession and for continuing their studies at the graduate level. |

|
 |

There are three main research areas for the graduate program: production/manufacturing systems, quality/reliability engineering, and systems engineering/aviation safety. The faculty and graduate students are active in research in these areas with publications in leading Industrial Engineering journals. The research has been supported by agencies including NSF (National Science Foundation), DoD (Department of Defense), FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), and private industry. The department focuses on applied research in engineering. |

| Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering |
|

|
 |
|
Mechanical Engineers rely upon knowledge of matter and energy conversions, motions, and forces obtained from computer simulations and experimental investigations of processes and systems. The Mechanical Engineer is able to design mechanisms, machines, and structures to serve a specific purpose, such as the manufacture of high-tech materials, including ceramics and composites, and high-tech equipment, such as advanced automation and control systems. They are also trained to determine both experimentally and theoretically the heat and energy transfer rates that occur within engineering devices, such as internal combustion engines, electronic equipment, robots, solar energy systems, rocket engines, steam and gas turbines, and nuclear reactors. |
