Image of capital letter While primarily known as an engineering school, Michigan Tech's teaching and research expertise actually encompasses a wide range of subject matter. It is engineering, to be sure, as demonstrated by the accomplishments of John Gershenson in mechanical engineering and Richard Honrath in environmental engineering—both featured in these pages.

But if you look at the impressive list of faculty members with the prestigious National Science Foundation Career award, you will find physicists and computer scientists alongside the engineers.

One of the largest research programs on campus is in our School of Forestry and Wood Products, which boasts international leaders in plant genetics and other areas of study.

Michigan Tech has a strong tradition in working with corporate and industrial partners to solve real-world problems. Faculty involve students—both graduate students and undergraduates—in much of their work. We hope you will enjoy reading about some of their efforts.

—Dr. David R. Reed, Vice President for Research
