QUICK FACTS
Dear Colleagues, It is my great pleasure to share our college’s scholarship report for this year with you, which outlines the recent accomplishments of our faculty and graduate students for the past year. As you can see from the sidebar, Northeastern’s College of Engineering is growing rapidly. Since my appointment as dean in fall 2012, we have hired nearly 60 tenured/tenure-track faculty – over 20 for this year alone! Research awards are up about 50% over the same period. Alongside this faculty and research growth is investment in our facilities, including state-of-the-art research laboratories and equipment. Research spaces across campus are in a period of active renovation and in the spring, Northeastern will complete construction on the 220,000 square foot Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex on our campus in the heart of Boston (see report cover image.) Along with this unprecedented growth, comes along the transformative research by our faculty who are being awarded numerous national and international recognitions for their contributions. Our growth also extends to our graduate programs. In the past four years we have awarded 256 PhDs, up 98 (62%) from the previous period. This correlates with our Masters student enrollment, which has more than doubled since 2012, with over 1,100 new students this fall. These growth metrics across engineering research and education demonstrate the dynamic spirit of our faculty and their commitment to addressing the engineering grand challenges of the 21st century and building the next generation of engineering leaders and innovators. We look forward to collaborating with colleagues across the nation and the world to address the global engineering and cross-disciplinary needs of our time. Please use this book as a reference, and reach out to us! Sincerely,
Nadine Aubry, PhD University Distinguished Professor Dean of Engineering
