As interdisciplinary research on and off campus continues to grow, there will be an ever-increasing mix of research areas. Faculty members on advisory committees for CS&E students actively work together, pooling knowledge and resources, to help students reach their research goals. This includes assisting students in choosing relevant, meaningful courses that lay the groundwork for research and employment.
