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 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 U.S. 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.
