Engineering Adds Three New Concentrations

[CajunFun]

UL is expanding our offerings in very strategic, research-based ways. The administration looks at workforce needs in Louisiana, and anticipated needs, and then looks at current offerings in our universities. This has been our strategy for adding new concentrations and degrees, particularly terminal degrees.

That approach explains how we are expected to reach SREB1 by 2028. We have all been excited about Carnegie R1, but the funding formula looks at SREB. When we hit level 1 (100 PhDs per year in at least 10 CIP categories), we will get a significant increase in revenues from the state.

"100 PhDs per year in at least 10 CIP categories"

Where does Louisiana stand currently?

Can't find it in my notes. We're a bit above 90, as I remember. And we're adding 3 terminal degree programs here in the next few years.

What are the 3 new concentrations in engineering?

Even the open admissions alum on here might have a shot at going back to school for phds, we need #s, lol.
The same ones that dont want any non sports posts though. So they may not see the info, lol

[Cajunrunner]

Nice!

This country, and Louisiana, need more quality engineering and STEM grads.

[CajunNation]

Nuclear? Because I would go back to school for that one.

What are the 3 new concentrations in engineering?

UL Lafayette’s College of Engineering will offer new concentrations this fall to address workforce needs – in manufacturing management, construction management and structural engineering and coastal hazards

[60swerethebest]

UL offers 9 areas of phd studies. These are numbers for calendar year and not School year so confidence is not 100%.

2021. 74
2022. 86
2023. 93
2024. 77

As Cajunfun said, Getting close.

And to think I was part of UL’s first Civil Engr graduate class in ‘67.

It was the sixties so I’m only pretty sure I was in graduate school.
