Penn State's Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) has 32 collegial, tenure-track faculty. The University is committed to growing the faculty ranks over the next several years. Eleven members of our faculty are recipients of the NSF Career Award. In recent years, our faculty received seven NSF ITR Grants, a $2.5M Research Infrastructure Grant, eleven NSF combined Cyber Trust and Networking awards, and several awards from DARPA and ARL. There are state-of-the-art research labs for computer systems, computer vision and robotics, microsystems design and VLSI, networking and security, scientific computing, bioinformatics and virtual environments. The Department offers a graduate program with over 75 Masters students and 191 Ph.D. students, and undergraduate programs with minimum GPA requirements in computer science and computer engineering. In December, 2003, the Department relocated into a new 100,000 square feet building (http://www.cse.psu.edu/about/istbuilding
