Message From the Chair
The faculty in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering are not just dedicated teachers who provide a world-class education; they are also leaders in their research who receive national and international recognition for their work. This issue highlights some of their awards, as well as that of the University’s top leader. It just goes to show that the culture of innovation at Clarkson starts from the top down.
— Paul McGrath, Professor/Chair of Electrical & Computer Engineering
