ENGINEERING FACULTY AND STAFF DIRECTORY

Villanova faculty are nationally recognized for excellence in teaching, applied learning techniques, and research. They have been awarded honors, research grants, and national fellowship by numerous academic associations. Practical experience in governmental agencies, large and small industrial and manufacturing settings, and various consulting engineering fields is characteristic of the faculty of the Engineering College.   

Diversity is enhanced by the presence of a number of professors who come from other countries. All members of the faculty share a commitment to effective teaching and research and to preserving the supportive personal atmosphere which prevails in the College. A philosophy of easy access to faculty is facilitated by maintaining an advisement policy and availability for consultation.
