Introduction

Dietmar Rempfer is the director of the School of Engineering and interim dean of the College of Engineering and Sciences.

The ultimate goal for me has always been to obtain an understanding of the world that was deep enough to eventually provide the capacity to develop devices, mechanisms and systems to manipulate physical reality in order to solve problems or create new capabilities.
