Northern Engineering, Institute of

The Institute of Northern Engineering (INE) is composed of three divisions: the Water Research Center, the Transportation Research Center and the Engineering Research Center and Laboratory. Its objective is to provide the faculty and students with research opportunities and facilities. Research is conducted in atmospheric, civil, electrical, environmental, mechanical and transportation engineering and in such areas as DNA chemistry, mathematics, fish habitats and topography. Many INE projects have a special focus on cold region problems as well as water-related problems that occur in Alaska and other northern areas. Many of the active research programs also have regional, national or international scope. INE is a member of the Automotive Research Center, a U.S. Army national center of excellence in modeling and simulation of ground vehicles.
