Spectra Spring 2009

SPECTRA is back with recent news and highlights from the College of Engineering and Computer Science at California State University, Northridge!

We have done very well during the past year. The quality of our programs and our graduates, and the dedication and commitment of our faculty and staff to serve our students is truly outstanding.
