The Department of Chemical Engineering
research programs reflect not only the traditional chemical engineering fields but also
new technologies important to Northwest
industries.
Significant contributions have
been made in chemical reactor engineering,
heat transfer, mass transfer, fluidization, and
thermodynamics.
With the addition of new
faculty members, research activities have
expanded into areas of computer-aided design
and control of chemical processes, biomass
conversion, toxic waste treatment, and
evaluation of pulp and paper processes.

Current Research
Research in the department is concentrated
in the four areas of energy systems, computer
engineering, systems and controls,
state electronic materials and devices.
and solid
Energy Systems--New solid state power elec-
tronic converters are used to develop variable
speed generators and drives.
With support
from the Bonneville Power Administration the
department has focused its research into
demonstrating the effectiveness of modern
electrical machines in increasing efficiency
and reducing energy losses when incorporated
into electric systems.
Computer Engineering--Faculty are engaged in
research in digital signal processing, microprocesor applications, VLSI design, computer
architecture, and in switching and coding.
Very close liaison is maintained between the
faculty and the computer industry within the
state of Oregon.

the
department has enjoyed an international reputation for its work carried out in systems and
control.
This work is supported by extensive
to expand its experimental efforts.
Several
faculty in this group enjoy international reputations for research in devices based on silicon, Ill-V and Il-VI materials.
State-of-theart research in molecular beam epitaxy, superlattices, quantum-well devices, microdefects
in silicon, InP MISFET's, a.c. electroluminescence, fast optical detectors, traveling wave
structures, defect thermodynamics, semiconductor interfaces, and GaAs MESFET's is
conducted, with excellent cooperative efforts
involving industry and other universities. The
department plans expansion of this effort into
femto-second optical spectroscopy and optoelectronics.
background studies in bilinear systems theory
and engineering applications, and has recently
concentrated on filtering and tracking
research, on suboptimal control of stochastic
dynamic systems, on immune system response
in collaboration with the Oregon Health
Sciences Center, and in lymphatic dynamics.
Solid State Electronics--The custom-designed
solid-state laboratories, which will become
available when our new building is occupied
during the 1987-88 academic year, will enable
the electronic materials and device research

Mechanical Engineering
The Mechanical Engineering Department at
Oregon State University has research activities in the three traditional areas of mechanical engineering, design, mechanics, and
thermal-fluid sciences, as well as in materials.
These fundamental research areas remain
quite constant over the years, but the specific application areas which have the major
thrusts change.
Energy related research which peaked in
the early 1980's continues to play a significant role in the department with research
projects in wind, energy conservation, biomass
conversion, fluidized bed heat transfer, and
heat pumps.
Robotics, smart product design,
manufacturing, and expert systems/artificial
intelligence are the current major application
