Grant gives birth to imaging curriculum

Funding from the National Science Foundation (Washington, DC) is putting the University of Rochester (Rochester, NY) at the forefront of a national movement to redesign undergraduate curriculum in imaging. The three-year $500,000 grant will enable faculty members from computer science, electrical and computer engineering, and optics to provide a comprehensive approach to imaging education. Under the plan, five new courses will be added, nine others will be enhanced, and two laboratories will be created. Faculty members are also initiating a seminar series and more research opportunities for undergraduates.
