CECMEE programs graduated 57 CEs, 21 EnEs and 43 CMs this past academic year. CE and EnE were down slightly from last year and CM was up by about 50%.<\/li>\n
NAU invested heavily in CECMEE surveying courses this year (CENE 270 and CM 253). ~$150,000 was invested to upgrade our surveying storage room to better secure our equipment, and 10-years\u2019 worth of planned equipment upgrades were able to be purchased at one time. Professor Kai Kaoni with the help of Professors Gary Slim and Mark Lamer did a lot of on-the-ground work to make sure that the new equipment is here and ready to go for summer classes.<\/li>\n

Graduate funding is at an all-time high, with four master\u2019s students supported on research assistantships this year, and as many planned for this coming year. Drs. Smaglik, Russo, Mohebbi and Bero are supporting these students in the area of transportation, water resources and environmental engineering.<\/li>\n
The CENE Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) annual Infrastructure Workshop was held this past semester, and hosted Jerry Cannon and his work on the Navajo Bridge. The workshop investigated using cell phones for students to provide feedback as well as some small group work. We will continue to develop this Advisory Board-sponsored event.<\/li>\n
