Research initiatives in the College of Engineering build upon traditional strengths while also encouraging the development of new areas of interest, interdisciplinary partnerships, and student development. At Notre Dame, it is not unusual to see faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates working side by side in state-of-the-art facilities … often with industry partners. In this way, we continue ongoing research while laying the foundation and providing hands-on experiences for future engineering innovators.
