Department of Applied Science
Mission Statement
The mission of the Department of Applied Science is to create and disseminate knowledge and tools in intellectual areas at the interfaces between the engineering, mathematical, physical, and biological sciences. We develop these interfaces using approaches primarily derived from applied mathematics and physics. We create knowledge and tools through excellence in research in partnership with students. We disseminate knowledge through undergraduate and graduate education and by performing service to industry, government, and society.
