Strategic Questions • Where can we lead the world? • Can we define the Engineering College of the 21st Century? • Positioning the College to leverage university investments from Discovery Themes • Positioning the College to shape and drive state, federal and industry priorities • Recruiting and retaining the best
Strategic Answers • Attract world-class scholars and students • Support through novel external funding streams • Build on OSU strengths and Battelle/industry partnerships • Manage challenges
Current Landscape • Strengths • Alignment with Discovery Themes • Alignment with state and federal priorities • Industry partnerships • Weaknesses • Not recognized as a national leader • Low NAE membership • No Top 10-ranked departments • Challenges • Limited infrastructure in growth areas • Diversity • Undergraduate growth • Opportunities • New national research priorities • Growing cross-college and cross-institutional collaborations • Proposal Development Center • Faculty demographics
Our Vision • Three new world-leading research initiatives • Transform Ohio State into a Top 10 university • Engineering College leads,and partners with, signature colleges and strategic industries
Talent Acquisition: Faculty Demographics Engineering Faculty Retirement Statistics Change traditional faculty mix. Integrate our scholars with rest of the world.
Research Expenditures Need to grow to $200 million in 5 years.
The Key Issue: Our Strengths Define Our Strategy U.S. News & World Report Rankings Align units with national needs. Build on strengths.
How to Achieve Our Vision • Lead in three areas of national priority • Manufacturing in transportation • Data analytics • Engineering-Medicine interface
Manufacturing for Energy Savings • Automotive OEMs and supply chain • Aerospace OEMs and supply chain • National Network for Manufacturing Innovation • Ohio Third Frontier • OSC, OARnet, EWI, Battelle Driven by three top departments. Aligns with Energy & Environment Discovery Theme.
Data Analytics • Common thread across Discovery Themes • Professional colleges taking lead • New degree programs • Industry/Battelle partnerships New field: National leadership position is open. Driven by two large departments.
Engineering-Medicine Interface • Spine Research Institute joint hires • Neuroscience joint hires • Cancer imaging — CEMAS • Biomedical Engineering — Davis Heart & LungResearch Institute Aligns with Health & Wellness Discovery Theme.Supports and leverages Ohio State’s largest investment.
Proposal Development Center • Build on successful Battelle model • Attract major non-traditional federal funding • Partner with V.P. Research and leading research colleges • Integrate Ohio resources (WPAFB, NASA) with federal agencies (Pentagon, DoD, DHSS) Increase non-traditional federal funding by $50-80 million in five years.
Managing Challenges Students: Number of Majors 2003-2012: 36% Increase in Engineering Majors Manage undergraduates through experiential education. Graduate student growth driven by research expenditures.
Managing Challenges Percent of Tenure Track Faculty by Ethnicity We are competitive and poised to lead.
Managing Challenges Status of Facilities —“the best of times… the worst of times”
Next Steps • Focus on research; attract top-notch and non-traditional faculty • Align undergraduate growth with the research vision • Focus on growing new external income streams to build three world-leading research initiatives • Support these three initiatives via alignment with state/federal priorities and industry needs • Take Ohio State into Top 10 nationally through strong alignment with Discovery Themes and cross-college partnerships
Students: Credit Hours 2003-2012: 24.3% Increase in Credit Hours
Students: Degrees Awarded 2003-2012: 46.4% Increase in Degrees Awarded
Undergraduate Graduation Rate The six-year graduation rate has increased by over 11 percentage points since 2007
