Internet Address http://www.eng.vt.edu/ Overview of Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering The College of Engineering honors its Land Grant heritage by providing to the Commonwealth and to the Nation worldclass engineering programs through its various research, education, and outreach activities. The Leading College of Engineering in the Commonwealth is the home to 13 departments and the Virginia Tech - Wake Forest School of Biomedical Engineering and Science� and the Myers Lawson School of Construction. We have 316 faculty members, about 6,000 undergraduate majors, and almost 2,000 graduate students. Our well-earned reputation for innovation and leadership includes life sciences research, from green engineering to human medicine. The opportunity and responsibility lies before the College to advance engineering curricula that will educate the engineer, researcher, chief executive officer, or other distinguished leaders for the 21st century; that is, to produce “The Engineer of 2020.” 1
College of engineering faCulty expertise listing 2010-2012 Selected Key Accomplishments • In its most recent survey of total engineering research expenditures at universities and colleges, the National Science Foundation ranked the Virginia Tech College of Engineering 11th. • In a move recognized by the National Academy of Engineering for its leadership, the college recently transformed its Engineering Fundamentals program into the Department of Engineering Education. In 2007, Virginia’s State Council for Higher Education approved a doctoral degree in engineering education at Virginia Tech, the second of its kind in the U.S. • “America’s Best Colleges 2009” survey released by U.S. News & World Report in August 2009 ranks the Virginia Tech College of Engineering’s undergraduate program 14th in the nation among all accredited engineering schools that offer doctorates, and eighth among those at public universities. The individual college rankings are based on assessments by deans and senior faculty at peer institutions. Seven of the College’s undergraduate engineering programs were ranked among the top 20 among their peer programs. • The magazine’s “America’s Best Graduate Schools 2010” survey, released in March 2009, ranked the College’s graduate program 27th. The College ranks 17th among engineering schools at public universities. The survey ranks four of Virginia Tech’s graduate programs — biological systems, civil, environmental, and industrial engineering — among the top ten in their fields. • The College also has spearheaded a number of new collaborative programs aimed at bolstering the educational and research strengths of Virginia Tech: • Most recently, the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science (ICTAS), under the leadership of Roop Mahajan, the James S. Tucker Professor of Engineering, dedicated its first building, the Nanoscale Characterization and Fabrication Laboratory. Located in Virginia Tech’s Corporate Research Center, it is a 32,000 square-foot facility on par with the best nanotechnology labs in the world. ICTAS-I opened in 2009 in the College of Engineering corridor, serving as the institute’s home base and housing the School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences as a principal tenant. The Virginia General Assembly has approved construction of ICTAS-II in the university’s life sciences corridor to house research labs with a biotechnology focus and it is currently under construction. The three facilities will provide a total of 200,000 square feet of additional space for College of Engineering researchers and colleagues from the Colleges of Science, Natural Resources, and Veterinary Medicine. • The Virginia Tech Myers-Lawson School of Construction, made possible by a shared $10 million pledge from alumni A. Ross Myers (civil engineering) and John R. Lawson, II (geophysics), is a collaborative program of the university, the College of Engineering and the College of Architecture and Urban Studies (CAUS), as well as the Vecillio Construction Engineering and Management Program in the Via Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Building Construction 2
