The University of Idaho offers a course called Neural Network Design,
taught by Howard B. Demuth
	  Electrical Engineering Dept.
          University of Idaho
          Moscow, ID  83843
          (208) 885-7561

North Carolina State has one too, and I'm sure there are many others.

But I'd like to expand this question:  What North American grad schools are
strong in neural networks -- i.e. have several faculty members interested
in connectionism and teach courses on them, etc.?  Here's one that I
know of:  Syracuse University.

Thanks for any help!

UMass/Amherst is nationally known as the best for EnviEng. My finacee

I've noticed that many people feel they get better response when they
crosspost on grad & gradinfo.  Not sure that it is working (in fact I
highly doubt it).  Please notice that gradinfo is for the
dissemination, by ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS, of information about graduate
programs.

Gradinfo is an unmoderated group, but with a set of "rules" that are
posted each month.  These rules are designed to keep the group as
effective as possible as an official source of information for
prospective graduate students.

I've contacted many graduate departments and asked them to post to
gradinfo some information about their school, admissions requirements,
current research and the like.  Lately I've been playing gradinfo
group guardian, a job that I'm not proud of.  

Please stop crossposting to gradinfo.  You have reached the same
readers if you post to soc.college.grad.

Sincerely,

Marc E. Fiuczynski

You could try New Jersey Institute of Technology
They have a reasonably good Chem Engg Dept.and EnV. Sci. dept. and I 
believe they have a Env. Engg. Dept here.
Besides most of the profs here seem to work on Environment related projects
e.g. Biodegradation of aqueous pollutants, ozonation of aqueous pollutants, 
combustion and membrane based reoval of organic pollutants!
They also have Federally funded centers for providing research grants with
indutry tieups, so that researchers always have a perspective of what they 
should be looking for, in terms of long and short term solutions!

Drexel University, in Philadelphia, offers a comprehensive MS and PhD
program in environmental engineering.  We have a number of faculty who
have research programs in air resources and combustion, which might be of
particular interest to your background in mechanical engineering.  We
also have major programs in water and waste treatment.

In the 25+ years of the program here, we have had 900+ graduates who have
gone to careers in both the private and public sector.

For further information, e-mail me.  I can e-mail a more detailed

Florida Atlantic University has an excellent program in Environmental 
Growth Management that would combine well with you previous degrees and 
area of interest.  It is NOT an environmental engineering program, 
however, it is a program in the legal, political and planimetrics 
associated with designing good systems to manage the environmental and 
social impacts of urban growth and development.  It is offer through the 
College of Urban and Public Affairs and the FAU-FIU Joint Center for 
Environmental and Urban Problems.  The degrees offered are the Master of 
Public Administration with the EGM Specialization, Matser of Urban and 
Regional Planning with the EGM Specialization, and the PhD in Public 
Administration with and EGM concentration.

All three programs are funded based on merit.  EGM fellowships consist of 
either three or four semesters of funding for master'slevel students, and 
consistent stipend for the PhD level.

FAU is currently a leader in environmental growth management due to it's 
location in a high growth state, a state with the finest comprehensive 
growth management system in the country, and resources such as the Joint 
Center and Urban Affars programs.

Hi everyone,
	I just got accepted to the master program in electrical
engineering at University of South Florida at Tempa.  That 's the
first school that I applied and accepted.  So I would like to ask for
some opinions from netters whoever have heard anything about the
school or the area.  One of the professors that I talked at my school
happened to be from Florida originally.  He said the school had a
pretty good reputation in Florida.  My questions are the following:

1. Are there some decent high-tech industries in the area of Tempa?

2. Someone told me that Florida had a much serious drug problem than
the rest of the country.  Reasons: a. The coast line is very long.
b. The weather is so nice that almost everybody can grow coke in their
backyard.(of course illegally).  Is Florida really that bad?

3. People said the life pace in Florida was sort of slow in comparison
to the rest of the country.  Is it really true?

4. Is the beach and city life too distractive to students?

5. Are the people pretty friendly over there?

I would like any inputs on the above questions.  Your answers are
greatly appreciated.  I plan to move to Florida right after the new year.
Thanks very much everyone in advance and happy holidays!!!!!

If you demonstrate anything with this example (and in others elsewhere)
it is only that there are sentences in which the use of gender-neutral
'they' is not appropriate. But you claim that people reject it in 
general, which requires better evidence. Few people object to
"Someone's been eating my porridge, and they've eaten it all up."
And just as few would say "The nurse is late, isn't he".

Oh, I'm sorry, that *is* your real new term for freshman. Excuse me.
Before we worry about freshmen, we should change the term for second-year
students, for, after all, sophomore is descended from 'sophos' (wise) and
'moros' (fool), and 'sophomoric' means both of or pertaining to a
sophomore and intellectually pretentious, or immature.
Why make up terms? Let the language handle itself.
"Fresher", indeed.
