Research is one of the central activities of the modern university. In addition to enhancing the
human condition, research inspires and informs the other missions of teaching and service. The
best research universities are those with a critical mass of faculty who are considered preeminent
in their chosen fields; they are universities that are recognized as recipients of the most
competitive and prestigious research centers sponsored by public and private funding sources;
they are universities who are first choices for the best and brightest graduate students
domestically and internationally; and they are universities whose research expenditures rank
them among the top 10 to 20 institutions in the nation. By many measures, Penn State has
achieved the status of a top-tier research university. That said, there are challenges that keep the
institution on the cusp of that status. In this plan, we will examine the tangible evidence of the
institution’s stature and propose goals to help us continue to rise in quality.

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering or Management Information Systems or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
