Engineering and Public Policy (EPP) is a unique department in the College of Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University which addresses important problems in technology and policy. The department offers a research-oriented Ph.D. program and double-major undergraduate B.S. programs with each of the five traditional engineering departments and Computer Science.
Research in the department focuses on problems in:
- energy and environmental systems;
- information and communication technology policy;
- risk analysis and communication; and,
- technology policy and management (including technological innovation and R&D policy).
Across these four focal areas, the department also addresses issues in technology and organizations and technology and economic development, focusing in particular on India and China. We frequently undertake the development of new software tools for the support of policy analysis and research. We also study issues in engineered systems and security.
