Dean of Engineering Research Advisory Council
The Dean of Engineering Research Advisory Council (DERAC) serves as a faculty resource, helping to identify College-wide grants and programs, and initiate interdisciplinary research projects. DERAC members identify funding sources for faculty and encourage them to pursue interdisciplinary research initiatives in larger, cross-cutting areas.
DERAC members also lead large-scale grant initiatives and serve as ENG ambassadors by presenting the College's research portfolio at conferences, symposiums and peer institutions.
