Message From the Dean
Greetings from Clarkson University, and welcome to the April edition of the Coulter School of Engineering Newsletter. As the academic year nears its end, we are proud to announce that two of our assistant professors are the recipients of the prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award. We also share news of a new faculty-published book on composite materials, NSF funding for a conference recently held on campus and news about our innovative students’ latest activities. I hope you enjoy reading about the students and faculty I am proud to work with daily.
