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 and computer science. 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 depart-ment 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.
