I am pleased to share with you the major scholarly activities of our faculty members and students during the 2013 – 2014 calendar years. Also included are the 2011 – 2012 achievements of our new faculty colleagues, Professors Huazhen Fang, Xian-glin Li, Lin Liu, and Candan Tamerler.

The generation and dissemination of knowledge that is of lasting value is the prima-ry function of any university. The process of discovery prepares students for lifelong learning. Sharing discoveries through publication and professional service both enables its usage and earns the admiration of our professional colleagues.

Our department’s Biennial Report series, initiated in 2013, documents the con-tributions of our faculty members and the students they mentor. During the 2013 and 2014 calendar years, our faculty members authored or co-authored 79 refereed journal articles, 5 book chapters, 4 books and one patent. During the biennium our scholarly work was cited over 8700 times (source: Google Scholar) by colleagues worldwide. This productivity is testament to the dedication of our faculty in advanc-ing engineering and scientific knowledge.

I hope you enjoy the 2013 – 2014 Biennial Report.
