  1. NC State Foundation Board Meeting 12 September 2013 Gary M. Scott SUNY-ESF Department of Paper and Bioprocess Engineering Department of Paper and Bioprocess Engineering

  2. Current Educational Programs • B.S. • Bioprocess Engineering • Paper Engineering • Paper Science • MPS • Paper and Bioprocess Engineering • MS & PhD • Paper and Bioprocess Engineering Department of Paper and Bioprocess Engineering

  3. Current Educational ProgramsUndergraduate Accreditation • Paper Engineering • Under ABET/EAC General Engineering criteria • Bioprocess Engineering • Under ABET/EAC Chemical Engineering criteria • Paper Science • Not externally accredited Department of Paper and Bioprocess Engineering

  4. Addressing Costs Tuition is rising slowing over the next 3 years $300/yr increase Scholarship levels are determined by number of students and available funds from the endowment Available funds are still 4% of a five-year average 4 Department of Paper and Bioprocess Engineering Department of Paper and Bioprocess Engineering

  5. Reaching Alumni and Corporations • We could do better • Just starting to use social media • Facebook • LinkedIn • Blogs • Plan for this year to contact “Bioprocess Engineering” companies with program information Department of Paper and Bioprocess Engineering

  6. Strengths and Opportunities • Looking for growth in the MPS program • Non-thesis masters • College has incentives to bring in self-paying graduate students • Recruiting students outside the department that are finishing their BS degree (and can’t find a job in their major) • Student Recruiting • Working with college admissions • Engineering and job fairs Department of Paper and Bioprocess Engineering

  7. Future Challenges and Opportunities • Funding at all levels • Institutional support of programs • Student enrollment increases may squeeze scholarship money • Research support • Attracting students • High school students do not understand engineering programs, especially the “different” ones • System-wide mandates • Credit-hour limits • “Seamless” transfer policies Department of Paper and Bioprocess Engineering
