Expert staff for personnel and program development and evaluation, strategic planning. Expert staff resources on Learning, Diversity, Centers, Partnering, and International Directorate for Engineering Cluster for New Frontiers in Nanotechnology Cluster for Biology in Engineering Cluster for Manufacturing Frontiers Cluster for Complexity in Engineered and Natural Systems Cluster for Critical Infrastructure Systems Learning, Centers, Partnering, Diversity, International Ad Comm. members identified with the “romance” of Scenario IV- Aligning With Intellectually Stimulating National Priorities as a goal because of its transformative opportunities in attracting resources, students and public support.
OAD EFRI EECI BCTS CMMI ECCS IIP BCTS : Bioengineering, Chemical & Transport Systems CMMI : Civil, Mechanical & Manufacturing Innovation ECCS : Electrical, Communication & Cyber Systems IIP : Industrial Innovation & Partnerships EECI : Engineering Education, Centers, and Infrastructure EFRI : Emerging Frontiers in Research & Innovation But recognize the lesser degree of disruption in the conceptual framework presented by Dr. Brighton that will make a change occur quicker
Summary of Discussions • Of the four scenarios in the report on the web, the group preferred Scenario IV. • Regarding the conceptual framework presented by Dr. Brighton: • EFRI is seen as a critical element in nurturing and sustaining new areas, and should be a division. • The tentative division names in the structure “looks familiar” and may give an impression of business as usual. • The conceptual framework is supported, but evolution to a structure like scenario IV is recommended.
