has been in existence since 1987. In cooperation with state and
national agencies such as the Tennessee Valley Authority, the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the Kentucky
Department of Natural Resources, and with private organizations and
regional industry, the CRR maintains a program of research that insures
Murray State’s involvement in environmental concerns on regional,
state, national, and international levels.
The Center for Watershed Environments (CWE) is a
center that builds upon the accomplishments of the CRR and
significantly expands the scope of Murray State’s reservoir related
research programs to explicitly include comprehensive studies of
reservoirs at the landscape scale. The CWE, which is located in a
unique region consisting of the confluence of four major rivers and two
large reservoirs, offers the opportunity for graduate study and
interdisciplinary research applied to understanding the complexity of
interactions between human-altered landscapes and adjoining reservoirs.
The CRR and the CWE each draw on three components
within the College of Science, Engineering and Technology: the Hancock
Biological Station (HBS), the Mid-America Remote sensing Center (MARC),
and the Chemical Analysis Laboratory (CAL). The HBS, located on
Kentucky Lake, is one of the finest facilities of its kind in the
Midwest. Serving as the primary research facility for aquatic
biologists and ecosystem scientists, the HBS provides a unique
opportunity for graduate study and research. At MARC, scientists and
students apply remote sensing technology and geographic information
science to study environmental data obtained from observatory
satellites and aircraft. The CAL provides state-of-the-art chemical
analysis for studies in environmental chemistry, ecotoxicology, trace
elements, and acid deposition.
The Center for Telecommunications Systems
Management, designated a Center of Distinction by the Kentucky Council
on Postsecondary Education, offers interdisciplinary courses and
programs in conjunction with the College of Business and Public
Affairs. Controlled student/teacher ratios, excellent computer support,
and close collaboration with related business and industry, insures
that students in the Center’s programs develop professionally and
graduate with the business insight and technical ability to manage all
aspects of telecommunications systems.
With a highly qualified faculty dedicated to
excellence in teaching and research, the College of Science,
Engineering and Technology provides its graduates with the educational
foundation on which to build a successful and fulfilling career.
