Engineering School must adapt, says potential Dean
By Kurt Esposito The Schools of Engineering need to adapt a strategic plan to keep pace with the changes that will occur in the fields of engineering within the next five years, said the second finalist for the dean of the Schools of Engineering. W. Kent Fuchs, head of the Purdue School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, took part in an open forum Wednesday afternoon where he told the one-third filled audience that "we have to encourage opportunity in the future." Fuchs said Purdue should take advantage of new areas of research and the new resources available for this research.
Research Complex to bring fields togetherWith the development of the new research complex proposed to begin construction during the summer of 2002, Purdue hopes to further research in the field of nanotechnology by putting together numerous researchers from many fields in one building. Nanotechnology engineering is the investigation design and manipulation of materials on the atomic scale and involves the study of building miniature devices, atom by atom. James Cooper, professor of electrical and computer engineering, said nanotechnology is a term broadly used in several research areas such as: biology, chemistry, physics, electrical, materials and chemical engineering. "Nanotechnology involves trying to build structures that are far smaller than there have ever been built before," Cooper said.
