Visiting Committee Visit Planning '08
Main Topics:
- Faculty Size/Curriculum
- Increase number of electives
- From Survey:
- Statistics Class focused on Biology
- Tissue Engineering
- Graduate Lab Technique class:Imaging,Biochemistry,Basic Biology
- Cellular,Physiological,Organ level biology
- Genetics
- Metabolics
- Mathematical modeling
- Ethics
- Increase number of electives
- Research Areas
- What research areas lacking?
- From 2006 survey:
- Strengthen core subjects already emphasized
- Neuroscience
- Metabolic engineering
- Energy/Environment
- Epigenomics
- Immunology
- What research areas lacking?
- Space
- Currently de-centralized,lack of collaborations?,social interactions?
- Tech Square people generally happy over there, would not necessarily want to move
- Not enough space for new faculty
- BE Department Staff
- Compared to other engineering departments, less staff; asking them to wear a lot of hats
- minimal web site activity, low student input, other departments seem to do more self-promotion (related to staff issue)
- BE: 7, ChemE: at least 9, EECS: at least 9
- ChemE has dedicated Web Site developer, Communications/Events people
- EECS has Alumni Relations
- Jobs
- Current grads are finding jobs, but new web portal might offer more help
- How to attract recruiters - currently Merck actively recruits, but few others
- Alumni contacts/database?
- Undergraduate Effects
- Increase in number of semesters as TA?
