Undergraduate Student Enrollment: Fall 2007 Masters Doctoral* *Graduate Center (Starting Sept. 08 Ph.D. in engineering to be awarded solely by CCNY, Proposal pending SED)
Masters Enrollment Trend Fall 2007 application statistic (Fall 2006 newly enrolled Masters students: 140)
Doctoral Enrollment Trend Fall 2007 application statistics (Fall 2006 newly enrolled PhD engineering students: 47)
Research Areas of research priorities are characterized by: The significance of the research and demonstrated external funding. Demonstrated excellence of the participating faculty and research plan. The multi-disciplinary nature of the research and demonstrated broad faculty participation. Demonstrated contribution towards advancing the mission and reputation of the School.
The School’s high priority research can be categorized into three broad areas: • 1. Biomedical Engineering/Science • Environmental Engineering/Science • Photonics/Material Science • Energy Engineering/Science • Other potential high priority research areas are: • Computer Communications/Networks • Robotics • Priority in faculty hires given to those candidates that will make contributions in the high priority research areas.

Major Issues • Lack of research lab/office space in Steinman-Hall – hinders growth of research programs • Dysfunctional Steinman-Hall HVAC system – jeopardizes ongoing research and teaching labs • Undergraduate retention and graduation rates • Attracting under-representative minorities to engineering (students & faculty)
Plans for Next Year • Implement new offering of the PhD degree programs – student support • Increase external research funding and number of research active faculty • Recruit and hire in areas of research strengths • Focus on undergraduate retention & graduation rates • Increase outreach to industrial partners and possible donors • Begin preparing for 2011ABET Accreditation – 2009 dry run (self-study report due 6/1/10)
