…before MSE grew the faculty by 25% and our research funding by 50%
MSE is poised for our biggest year yet, extending on an unprecedented 11 point jump in our national program ranking last year, record research funding (>$50M in current grants), faculty and students in key leadership roles across the campus (including the University President!), major awards like our student-led NASA Big Idea Challenge team, and many others.
