Mission
The mission of the College of Engineering at The University of Alabama in Huntsville is to provide students with a quality educational experience that includes engineering theory, design, experimentation and application. The College is dedicated to achieving national and international recognition for excellence in engineering education, research and service. (Approved by the College of Engineering Faculty on April 24, 2002 and by the College of Engineering Industrial Advisory Board on November 2, 2002.)
Preliminaries
Engineering is the profession that translates scientific thought into reality. Through creative synthesis, analysis, and design, the engineer produces systems, processes, and products for society's benefit.
The College of Engineering is based in an established urban area, and also in the state's high technology center. Close proximity to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, Redstone Arsenal, and much of Alabama's fastest-growing technological industry gives the College of Engineering a special character that leads to uncommon educational opportunities. This special setting, combined with high quality faculty, affords maximum growth potential for those desiring an advanced engineering education.
Laboratory fees have been eliminated from engineering courses. An equipment fee (presently $19 per semester hour) is assessed on all engineering courses. The proceeds are earmarked for the upgrading of engineering laboratories, and for the acquisition, maintenance, repair, and replacement of instrumentation and equipment to support the various engineering programs.
Graduate Degrees and Programs
The College of Engineering offers programs leading to the degrees of Master of Science in Engineering, Master of Science in Software Engineering, Master of Science in Operations Research, and Doctor of Philosophy. Research areas for the M.S.E. and Ph.D. are:
|
· Adhesion
|
· Engineering Management
|
· Process Dynamics
|
In addition to the above, the College of Engineering participates in a Ph.D. level Materials Science program which is awarded jointly by The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, The University of Alabama at Birmingham, and The University of Alabama in Huntsville. The College of Engineering also participates in a Ph.D. level Biomedical Engineering program in collaboration with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Also, a joint Ph.D. program in Civil Engineering exists with UAB. Finally, a shared Ph.D. program in Computer Engineering exists with UAB. Within UAH the College of Engineering participates in the Ph.D. level Optical Science and Engineering program, and the Ph.D. level Biotechnology Science and Engineering program. These programs are described in this catalog under "Interdisciplinary Programs."
