Research The Faculty of Engineering is a new kind of engineering unit organized to capture the convergence of the sciences, humanities and engineering. Out of the confluence of disciplines grows a use-inspired research paradigm focused on the development of products and services that are relevant to the needs of society. The self-organizing nature of the Faculty of Engineering has given rise to a variety of program areas in which coordinated research tracks with the individual and collaborative interests of faculty members. At present these program areas include the following: Biochemical Engineering Biorefining and Carbon Cycling Systems and Engineering Ecology Computer Systems Engineering Engineering Education Biomedical Engineering Nanoscience and Engineering
