Hello to all alumni and friends of the School of Engineering.
The 2006-2007 academic year came to its end on Sunday,May 20, with the
Commencement ceremony on Bellarmine lawn. The School of Engineering graduated 31
students with a bachelor’s degree, and 59 with a master’s degree.We wish them all good for-tune
as they pursue their personal and professional goals, and we hope that while at Fairfield
University, they were endowed with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to become contribu-tors
to their discipline, to sustain their intellectual strengths, and to maintain Ignatian ideals
of service to others.
While we bid goodbye to those who are leaving us, we welcome a freshman class of full
time undergraduates. The Class of 2011 is a group of 36 bright 18-year-old men and women,
eager to embark on the great adventure of learning at Fairfield University. Our commitment
to them is to guide them to develop their own talents, to effectively use the on-campus
resources, and to develop their sense of professional integrity and social responsibility, along
with their professional skills.
I am also gratified by some of the developments of the last year. In academe, decisions for
new program development and pedagogy are often guided by our vision, because factual
information with predictive power is not always readily available. Our new five-year program
leading to a dual B.S./M.S. degree in software engineering (see page 2) has been licensed and
accredited by the Connecticut Department of Higher Education. The decision to undertake
this venture was based as much on instinct regarding the increasing central role of software
design in emerging technologies, as on signals from the IT workplace.
We also anticipate that practicing engineers in the area of manufacturing will better learn
skills through advanced software simulations; therefore, we have partnered with the
Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology, which has provided us with a grant to create
a simulation and analysis program under the auspices of the Automated Manufacturing pro-gram
(see page 3 for more on this exciting project).
The academic and professional progress of our current students is central to our
endeavors. Their timely advancement in their chosen discipline, from day one of their
