CIVIL 81 MECHANICAL ENGINEERING he Department of Civil Sr Mechanical Engineering guides the way by laying the foundation for competence in the rapidly changing, high-technology Army of the future. We do this by taking our students into the real world of engineering with courses that are exciting, informative, and relevant to their future. Cadets who take our courses become informed consum- ers of technology who can think clearly and critically and make rational, informed decisions. They also understand the tools of their trade in the Army. Our civil and mechanical engineering majors become the service-oriented, technically qualified, uni- formed career officers who will manage the Army technology of the future. Cadets know us for our highly qualified and compe- tent faculty members who provide some ofthe best instruction at West Point. We care about our students and are willing to go that extra mile to ensure their success. The standards of excellence set by our instructors provide our students a model of profes- sional excellence that will serve them well throughout their careers. For revelance, challenge, and professional skills that help our graduates succeed in a high-technology world, Civil Sr Mechanical Engineering guides the way. fzwm... DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL 8?

CHEMISTRY l Wi U THE RIGHT FORMULA MAKES A DIFFERENCE. A Chemistry Professor leads his section in an experi- ment. So WHAT DOES THIS BUT- TON DO? Cadets learn in a perfor- mance laboratory. O Z Z! C A 7: .1- F uring this period of constantly increasing technology within the Army and the world, the undergraduate education at West Point must prepare the graduate for a variety of experiences and challenges in the future. The study of chemistry, the central science, begins by developing an understanding of atoms and molecules, the building blocks of all matter and life. Key concepts such as the quantum theory, structure and states of matter, chemical bonding, chemical reaction kinetics and equilibrium, electrochemis- try, nuclear chemistry, and the fundamentals of thermody- namics are used to develop the fundamental scientific knowl- edge needed by all Army officers Cand all informed citizensl as well the scientific thought process. Laboratory work emphasizes scientific inquiry through experiments of in- creasing complexity. Department electives provide a firm foundation in chemistry, chemical engineering, and the life sciences. Using state-of-the-art instrumentation, officers and cadets conduct research to support the needs of the Army in areas such as disarmament verification, chemical demilitari- zation, environmental assessments, chemical decontamina- tion, polymeric material development, and DNA analysis. An experiment studying bone tissue deterioration in space has been accepted for a future space shuttle mission. The Department of Chemistry is truly guiding the way by providing l the essential scientific foundation needed by all graduates in chemistry, chemical engineering, and the life sciences.

THIS DOES WHAT??? cDT Rich COMPUTER SCIENCE he Department of Electrical Engineering Gr Computer Sci- ence guides the way for cadets and faculty into the information age of computers and electronics. Our department introduces all cadets to this exciting subject in the core course and then offers several in-depth paths to successful leadership in the modern world. We have the goal of graduating Leaders for Tomorrow's Technology. The world of the 21st century will be one of high technology to which our faculty, curriculum, and laboratory initiatives are paving the way. The faculty are involved with many agencies and individuals in the army, throughout the nation and around the world to understand and guide the future of our disciplines. Many curriculum innovations have been introduced to ensure that what cadets learn today will be a firm foundation for the many years of their professional careers. Laboratory initiatives, such as our Lab 2002 project, bring sophisticated state-of-the-art equipment to help cadets devote more time to analysis and less time to the tedium of data gathering. This affords cadets the opportunity to examine the most challenging aspects of electronics and communications technology. After Operation Desert Storm, General Schwarzkopf stated, Comput- ers proved to be decisive combat multipliers. All of us have seen the decisive impact on industry and our everyday lives of electronics technology. The programs of the Department of Electrical Engineering Sr Computer Science stand ready to guide cadets along the way to being the 21st century leaders of the information Age. faazdl.
