New CEE Website Launched

July 31, 2007

The CEE Department has recently launched a new website, www.cee.lsu.edu, designed and created by Dr. Sherif Ishak, a faculty member in CEE. This new website offers distinctive services to both students and faculty while exhibiting a more professional design. Built with the latest technology stack of MS Share-Point Services, the new site is a powerful and flexible tool to communicate information among students and faculty.

The website will support certain undergraduate and graduate program services such as electronic student advisement, semester course scheduling, online ABET surveys, etc. Students and faculty may sign in via the Backstage feature and subscribe to receive automated alerts on special updates or changes to the website. The website also offers support for Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds from most site contents such as announcements, lists, calendar events, etc.

In addition, the new CEE website includes an Alumni Guestbook. All CEE alumni are encouraged to leave a brief update so that the Department and fellow alumnae can use the CEE website as an alumni resource for interaction.

Overall, the new site offers enhanced features and functionalities that are expected to improve the way the CEE department is doing business and facilitating interaction with both potential and current students. Please visit the new website at www.cee.lsu.edu to find out the latest information about Department initiatives, graduate and undergraduate programs, student organizations, faculty and staff, and other updates.
