Engineering Faculty Excellence
The SIUE School of Engineering has seen tremendous growth and has become the school of choice for increasingly well-prepared students. The average math and composite ACT scores of the fall 2012 freshman class are 28 and 26.4, respectively. This past fall marked the fourth consecutive year the School has achieved record undergraduate enrollment. Over the past four years, student enrollment has increased nearly 30 percent.
“The reputation of our programs has been spreading rapidly through the region, which has increased enrollment significantly,” said Dr. Hasan Sevim, dean of the School of Engineering. “We are fortunate to be able to respond to this high demand by hiring outstanding faculty who bring tremendous energy and pioneering ideas to the School.”
The School’s academic success is related to the work of its faculty who effectively combine the best practices of teaching, scholarship and service. The following engineering professionals joined the faculty in fall 2012.
