A MESSAGE FROM OUR DEAN It is my pleasure to serve as dean of the Fred DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science. At the DeMatteis School, we are committed to educating future generations of engineers and computer scientists. Students can choose from 14 bachelor’s degree programs and three master’s degree programs in a broad range of engineering and computer science fields. The DeMatteis School’s undergraduate engineering program is ranked in the top 15% in the nation among engineering schools where a doctorate is not offered (U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges rankings, 2020). Our rapid and sustained growth over the past seven years is the result of a great demand for graduates who have the skills and knowledge required to work in the technical sector and to contribute immediately to a company’s mission in the marketplace. To assist in meeting that demand, our Co-op Program, which was established in 2015, has already enlisted approximately 200 companies as partners in hiring interested juniors and seniors for six- to eight-month full-time work experiences prior to graduation. Our commitment to students and partnerships with the community extend even further. The Center for Innovation allows faculty and students to provide technical and engineering expertise to regional businesses and research centers. Our Advanced Summer Program in Research (ASPiRe) offers competitive stipends for students who wish to engage in advanced scientific research. Extensive laboratory facilities ensure that many of these projects lead to publication in prestigious journals and conference proceedings. The Women’s Summer Program in Computing/Engineering (W-SPiCE) and Hofstra in Silicon Valley programs represent two more opportunities for students to widen their contacts beyond the classroom. These ventures are possible through the hiring and retention of faculty who are passionate about their fields, and who are committed to mentoring students into well-rounded, creative problem solvers who are prepared to help humanity tackle and overcome the challenges of today’s complex technological environment. I am proud to be part of this exceptional community of scholars, and I strongly encourage students looking toward a career in engineering or computer science to consider a future with us at the DeMatteis School.
