What's So
Special About EPP?
If
you have taken the time to read through this web page, we
hope you have gotten the impression that Engineering &
Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University is a very special
department where a very rigorous, yet exciting and innovative
graduate education can be obtained. We are at the
cutting edge of research in methods development and problem
solving for many of the key issues facing the world at the
interface of engineering, science and policy. We seek
to provide a demanding and rewarding environment where individuals
can learn and grow while contributing to new knowledge and
insights for decision making on important national and international
problems.
Our
approach, while rigorous, is not conventional. We
are highly interdisciplinary in our approach to education
and research and willing to try new approaches. We
believe that this approach has proven itself able to stand
up to traditional standards of scholarship and excellence,
while providing the flexibility to address new and emerging
issues that cannot be solved using the tools of a single,
traditional discipline.
While
we value the growth of our students as scholars, we also
value them as people. As noted in our most recent
external Advisory Board report, ". . . EPP is the unquestioned
world-leader in its field. . . .EPP's major strength is
its people - students, faculty and leadership." If
you would like to add to our strength, we look forward to
hearing from you.
