Faculty

Due to its interdisciplinary nature the CS&E program also places heavy demands on faculty members. Few CS&E faculty members are experts in both computational methods and an application area. Further, as interdisciplinary research both on and off campus continues to grow, there will be an ever increasing ``mix'' of ``isolated'' research areas. Thus, the faculty on advisory committees for CS&E students will in many cases need to actively work together to help the students reach their research goals. Further, faculty members will often need help from other faculty members as they work with CS&E students to choose relevant and meaningful courses to prepare the students for research and employment.

Thus, this handbook is also for faculty members as they work with each other and with CS&E students. If you, as a faculty member, encounter situations not covered here, please mention the situation to the CS&E Director so that this handbook may become more useful for faculty members.
