Dear friends and colleagues,

Many exciting things are happening this spring semester at the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources at West Virginia University. The articles presented in this issue of EngineeringWV Wired are just an example of the outstanding research done by faculty and students and the College’s ongoing commitment to being leaders of innovation.

I am also excited to share that the National Science Foundation has recently ranked our College research program in the top 100 in the latest Higher Education Research and Development Survey. I am extremely proud of this designation and of all the achievements outlined in this issue, which are only made possible by the dedication and passion of our faculty and students in the College.

I also want to ask you to mark your calendars for March 22, WVU’s sixth annual Day of Giving. Your support will make a significant difference today for a stronger tomorrow.

Let's Go!
