What
is rEPPort?
rEPPort is an occasional
newsletter published by the Department of Engineering and Public Policy
(EPP), a department in the engineering college at Carnegie Mellon University.
Patti Steranchak (412+268-1085) is the Managing Editor. EPP offers joint
undergraduate degrees with each of Carnegie Mellon's five traditional
engineering departments. These BS degrees are designed to provide students
headed into traditional engineering careers with some additional understanding
and skills to deal with problems that involve the relationship between
their technologies and the broader society. At the graduate level, the
department offers a research-oriented Ph.D. which focuses on problems
in which the technical issues are of central importance. Doctoral graduates
have the equivalent of at least an MS in a traditional technical discipline.
Areas of research activity within the department include: energy environmental
systems, including environmental modeling on problems such as climate
change; telecommunications policy with a particular focus on issues
related to standards; industrial and manufacturing policy, including
issues in flexible manufacturing and robotics; problems in risk analysis,
perception and management; the development of computer-based tools to
support quantitative policy analysis with special attention to the treatment
of uncertainty; technical problems in international peace and security;
and selected issues in technical education and the work force.
Carnegie Mellon is unique
among major US research universities in having developed the ability
to support and sustain an interdisciplinary research environment in
which joint academic appointments work. Most EPP faculty hold joint
appointments with traditional disciplinary departments. These appointments
bring disciplinary strength to EPP and provide a vehicle by which EPP
can involve people all over the Carnegie Mellon campus in technically-focused
policy research.
