In the Department of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon, the strategy has been to never compromise on the technical credentials of new faculty. In some cases, we have been fortunate to find faculty candidates, such as Marvin Sirbu or Jon Peha (both in telecommunications policy), who already had built strong backgrounds in both technology and in policy. More recently, many of our junior... 

Project courses are an important feature of the EPP undergraduate curriculum. These courses are run jointly for undergraduates by faculty in the Department of Engineering and Public Policy and the Department of Social and Decision Sciences in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. The typical course involves 25-30 students. Projects address some real world problem in technology and public policy, typically with an outside client for whom the work is being done. See Table 19.2 for...

Ronald E. Hester is Professor of Chemistry in the University of York. He was for short periods a research fellow in Cambridge and an assistant professor at Cornell before being appointed to a lectureship in chemistry in York in 1965. He has been a full professor in York since 1983. His more than 300 publications are mainly in the area of vibrational spectroscopy, latterly focusing on time-resolved studies of photoreaction intermediates and on biomolecular systems in solution. He is active in environmental chemistry and is a founder member and former chairman of the Environment Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry and editor of Industry and the Environment in Perspective (RSC, 1983) and Understanding Our Environment (RSC, 1986). As a member of the Council of the UK Science and Engineering Research Council and several of its sub-committees, panels and boards, he has been heavily involved in national science policy and administration. He was, from 1991-93, a member of the UK Department of the Environment Advisory Committee on Hazardous Substances and is currently a member of the Publications and Information Board of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
