  1. ProjectSTEADI Update, Opportunities and Today’s Agenda John Fuller August 28, 2008

  2. Definition and Background • Project STEADI (Simulation Technology Education to Assist the Defense Industry) • Funded by ICAPP (Intellectual Capital Preservation Program) • Project STEADI the result of Defense Industry contractor concerns • In the summer of 2007, prepared a request for funds to initiate Project STEADI • The project was approved and began on March 1, 2008; it ends on September 30, 2008

  3. Project Mission To produce the first course for a modeling and simulation certificate (15 credit hours) within the Master of Science Degree in Applied Computer Science and complete all other elements of Project STEADI on time and within budget

  4. Project Deliverables • VMASC Capstone Conference • Market Study • Two Vision Trips • Two Business Education Workshops • Operational Website • Curriculum Marketing Plan • Internship Program Established • First M&S Course Developed

  5. Major Activities and Project Timeline Start of New School Year End of Project

  6. Project STEADI Update

  7. Partnership Opportunities • Other Universities (ODU, UCF, UAH, GT, Auburn, Johns Hopkins) • Fort Benning(Soldier Battle Lab, ARI, ARL, Internships) • Other CSU Schools and Departments • Georgia Strategic Centers of Innovation (Logisitcs and Aerospace) • Cunningham Center for Leadership Development (Research) • Muscogee County School District (Education) • Columbus Regional Healthcare (Healthcare) • Defense and Homeland Security Companies (Contracts) • Columbus Technical College (Workforce Development and BRAC) • Regional Companies (KIA, PCI, Bytewise) Opportunities abound!

  8. Other Universities • Old Dominion University (ODU) • University of Central Florida (UCF) • Georgia Institute of Technology • Johns Hopkins • University of Alabama at Huntsville • Auburn University

  9. Fort Benning • Providing modeling and simulation consultative support to the new Battle Lab • Providing Modeling and Simulation training support for Army Interns • Conducting Modeling, Simulation and Gaming Research in support of Fort Benning and US Army • Establishing Internship / Co-Op Program with the MCOE Battle Lab and Other USAIS Organizations • Seeking Government Grant Opportunities • Joining defense contractors in vying for government contracts • Look for ways to partner with ARL, ARI, TRADOC Systems Managers, and Allied LNOs

  10. Other CSU Schools and Departments • Business • Nursing • Education • Psychology • Math • Biology • Cunningham Center for Leadership Development

  11. Cunningham Center for Leadership Development • Seek Joint, Collaborative Effort with in conducting original research at Fort Benning—a ready made “Petri Dish” of leadership data in multiple areas: • Build and Market Leadership Simulations, Models, and Games in support of CCLD to meet MCSD, Regional Healthcare and Fort Benning Leadership Requirements • Build a leadership data base second to none • Begin publishing original research

  12. Defense and Homeland Security Companies • CSU to provide modeling, simulation and gaming programmatic expertise to help companies secure government contracts • Provide local defense contractors with a quality source of modeling, simulation and gaming talent • Offer modeling, simulation and gaming consultative services to local contractors and their companies

  13. Economic Development Partners: To Meet Workforce Development Needs • Work with economic development partners to attract new and small business to region in modeling, simulation and gaming industry • Work with CTC and CVCC and FRTC to meet total workforce development needs within region • Help identify future Modeling, Simulation and Gaming programmatic needs of companies now located or anticipated to locate in region

  14. Project STEADI and Beyond If Project STEADI only takes us through September 30, 2008 how do we get to September 2011? 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Concept Paper is due to ICAPP in October Project STEADI Project STEADIE (Extended) Project STEADI Final Decision to Extend STEADI has been delayed M&S Track Base Complete M&S Curriculum Expanded DOL Grant Covers $38,000

  15. Concluding Thoughts • Project STEADI has accomplished far more than ever envisioned • We have just started what must be a continuing effort • The opportunities uncovered by Project STEADI are numerous and real • The future is Modeling, Simulation and Gaming; the future is YOU!
