Driving Innovation Through Research

Advancing Engineering & Computing for a Better Future

At the Allen E. Paulson College of Engineering & Computing, research is more than discovery—it’s the engine that fuels innovation, enhances learning, and transforms industries. Our faculty-led research and student-driven projects tackle real-world challenges, from improving sustainability and efficiency to strengthening cybersecurity and optimizing industrial processes.

“Our new master’s programs will be a catalyst for faculty research and the overall scholarship portfolio of the College. I envision most of our faculty and many students actively engaged in research framed within these graduate programs.”

— Dr. Ashraf Saad, Assistant Dean for Research, Armstrong Campus
