ACADEMIC REPORT FOR 2004-2005

2004-2005 Highlights

Our University’s goal is stated in the OSU Strategic Plan: “To best serve the people of Oregon, Oregon State University has embarked on a journey to be among the Top 10 land grant institutions in America”. The College of Engineering, already 28th among land grant engineering programs1, has joined this journey with its goal to be with eight other engineering programs at land grant universities who are among the nation’s top-25 engineering programs2. A top-25 engineering school located in Oregon will help the state, the Pacific Northwest, and the nation remain globally competitive by delivering top engineering talent and ideas to build 21st Century Oregon and beyond.

Our top-25 journey is built upon our century long legacy as a truly great engineering institution. This greatness stems from the diverse group of people here, their passion to create opportunity for our students and the broader community, their drive to develop the best work-ready engineering talent, and the power of their extraordinary collaboration in research and learning. These three attributes have been, and will continue to be, the guideposts of our journey.

Already, the excitement and synergy of the Top-25 Drive is producing key results: the Kelley Engineering Center is the newest part of our home for innovation; new professors from top-tier programs are coming to OSU; our six collaborative research clusters are producing groundbreaking results; nearly all of Oregon’s very best engineering students are at OSU; the Oregon WAVE autonomous vehicle team made the semifinals thanks to TekBots™ and our winning Mini Baja car; many of our student teams won or placed 2nd or 3rd in design competitions and received best paper awards; our professors are winning more research grants, three of them were recently named Fellows of international professional societies and one recently won an NSF CAREER award3. These results, and more, are fueling the momentum and paving the ascent to top-25.

Our focus on excellence is increasing capacity to deliver a diverse group of top talent at all levels. During FY 05, the College was a top-30 producer of BS-degreed engineers (520 degrees/year) and a national leader in critically needed areas of graduate education (208 degrees/year) and new research grants and contracts ($26M/year). This new talent has experienced our unique hands-on Platforms for Learning™, and/or an industry-sponsored internship, and/or coursework leading to a business savvy Entrepreneurship Minor. In addition, many of our MS and PhD graduates have worked in one of our six collaborative research clusters helping innovate breakthroughs that improve life.

From our nationally ranked research clusters (some of them top5) to our nationally leading learning innovations, collaboration is a critical success factor—collaboration that spans not only engineering disciplines, but also other OSU units: the College of Business and University Housing & Dining Services in entrepreneurship; the School of Education in learning innovations; and with almost all OSU colleges in research. And this collaboration goes beyond OSU to include relationships with other universities, national labs, and our industry partners as in the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute (ONAMI).

The Top-25 Drive, with its $180M funding goal, is currently supported by private funds and by $5M/year in targeted public investments for both the Oregon Nanoscience & Microtechnologies Institute (ONAMI) and for improvements directed by the Engineering and Technology Industry Council (ETIC).

Through FY 05, the total public-private investment, including the partnership with the OSU College of Business in the area of entrepreneurship, will exceed $109M—another step closer to the $180M overall goal.

The people of the College of Engineering have uncommon focus on creating opportunity, developing work ready talent, and collaboration all to drive momentum toward the goal of reaching the top-25.

Strategic Plan Implementation: 2004-2005 Focus Areas

▪ Enhancing student success: Developing Work Ready Engineers

▪ Grow MECOP/CECOP and other internship venues to achieve 80% internship rates among undergraduates. Results: COE aggregate is at 78%. Some degree programs are at upper 90%.

▪ Extend TekBots™ and other innovative Platforms for Learning across engineering disciplines and broaden team-based design competitions. Results:

TekBots now being used by OSU ME. Greater than 250 engineering/science students used wireless technology in classes enabled by the Hewlett Foundation Grant. Lego Robots are being used in ChE, BioE, and EnvE with great success. Most degree programs in COE are fielding winning design teams (e.g. mini Baja car, West Point Bridge Design System, ASME design competition, CEM estimating teams, etc.)

▪ Continue implementation of minor in entrepreneurship in collaboration with COB and UHDS. Results: The Austin Entrepreneurship Program and the Weatherford Residential College are now launched. Residents include several companies organized by engineering and business students as well as other majors.

▪ Continue implementation of MBE in Construction Engineering Management with COB. Results: The first MBE degree was completed Fall ’04. Enrollment in the program will reach 12 students Fall ‘05.

▪ Increasing research and outreach, and engagement: Being Best at Collaboration

▪ Successful implementation of ONAMI as a state-wide collaboration in nano science and micro technologies. Results: ONAMI collaboration won more than $25M in federal and private research grants and contracts, most involving collaboration among academic partners and PNNL. The Microproducts Breakthrough Institute collaboration between OSU and PNNL has been established. ONAMI is operational in B-11 and includes two PNNL research staff.

▪ Strengthen five other research clusters per business plan and through strategic hiring: Large Scale Energy Systems, Mixed-Signal Integration (position to top 5) , Kiewit Center for Infrastructure and Transportation, Biological & Environmental Systems (including Water Resources), & Information Usability. Results: Currently recruiting and have added new faculty in 5 of 6 clusters. Examples of Highlights: OSU is part of Battelle Energy Alliance’s win of management of the Idaho National Lab. OSU civil engineering faculty were featured on many television broadcasts and print media stories about the tsunami disaster and Civil Engineering Professor Harry Yeh led the US Research expedition to south Asia.

▪ Improve the level of collaboration among faculty. Every department fall kick off meeting will be devoted to conversations about collaboration. Results: department meetings and college breakfast focused on collaboration. Follow up included the creation of a COE Graduate Council initially focused on collaborative recruitment of PhD students (attracted 36 candidates to OSU for three days of orientation and networking) and up to 70% of faculty in departments collaborating on research within one of the 6 clusters. Workshop held late spring quarter will help drive future actions to strengthen culture of collaboration.

▪ Implemented Master of Engineering Degree and graduated 11 MEng in the first year.

▪ Enhancing diversity and community: Creating Opportunity and Leveraging the Efforts of COE People

▪ Continue implementation of Women and Minorities Program in Engineering that began AY03/04. Results: Undergraduate Research Experience completed by 20 female freshmen. Two Sections of Engineering Orientation classes were offered for female freshmen. Ambassador Program implemented: 18 COE Ambassadors (women and Minority students) involved in a wide variety of recruitment and retention efforts including K12 classes on campus, K12 visits, COE tours for HS classes and individuals, contacting prospective students, college fairs, etc Weekly engineering tutoring at Wilson Hall with upper division female students and at Lonnie Harris Black Cultural Center.

Faculty/Staff Diversity Group (3Rs): developed strategic plan for future actions. This strategic plan formed the basis of the COE Diversity Plan.

▪ Collaborate with University recruitment and retention efforts. Results: COE provided leadership to OSU Pre College Program and Women and Minorities Program conducted workshop for 55 high school counselors. A monthly column in COE’s “Momentum” is directed at high school students.

▪ Promoting the Thematic Areas

▪ Our partnership with the College of Business and University Housing and Dinning in the Austin Entrepreneurship Program at Weatherford Hall helped promote the Optimizing enterprise, innovation, and economic development theme.

▪ Our research program helped promote the thematic areas through our major focus on collaboration. Driven to make collaboration our competitive advantage, much of our research is now within six collaborative clusters including:

1. Oregon Nanoscience & Microtechnologies Institute (ONAMI)

Putting nanotechnology to work in micro systems for home-land security, clean and efficient energy systems, new medical devices, the next generation of integrated circuits, and more.

2. Large-Scale Energy Systems

Creating safer, super-efficient ways of generating energy to meet the world’s growing demand--from harnessing the power of wind and waves to innovating new nuclear reactor designs.

3. Mixed-Signal Integration

Converting real-world signals like sound, light, and motion into digital data that computers can quickly process, resulting in technology breakthroughs that improve everything from telecommunications to medicine.

4. Kiewit Center for Infrastructure & Transportation

Making the world’s infrastructure safe, reliable and efficient--from better tsunami warning systems to smarter transportation systems.

5. Biological & Environmental Systems

Employing Earth’s smallest microorganisms in toxic waste cleanup, the development of more efficient manufacturing processes, and much more.

6. Information Usability

Making the world’s vast amounts of information both easily accessible and highly useful--from more powerful internet searches to more efficient databank management.

The close relationship between our research clusters and the thematic areas is shown below.
