Overview
Dr. Anthony Muscat is the dean of Wichita State University’s College of Engineering, effective July 25, 2021.
He has extensive experience in the field of Chemical, Environmental, Mechanical, and Aerospace Engineering and has been in higher education for over 30 years.
With a passion for applied learning, he wants to help Wichita State train engineers who are confident in their technical chops and who apply the fundamentals in applied learning projects that teach them to exercise good judgement.
Information
- Chemical, Environmental, Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering.
- Applied learning.
Applied semiconductor surface chemistry to clean and etch surfaces and deposit thin films to build electronic devices; nanomaterial synthesis and self-assembly processes.
College of Engineering GoBabyGo Program
- The Wichita State University College of Engineering sponsors WSU GoBabyGo, a program that modifies off-the-shelf ride-on toy cars for kids with disabilities. Students from engineering collaborate with physical therapy students to customize each car and deliver them at no cost to the family.
