EEC and OII Reorganization Planning Discussion Agenda • Steps taken so far • Changes to EEC and OII • Strategic Plan for EEC: future of ERC and Engineering Education • Strategic Plan for OII
Steps Taken So Far • ENG All-Hands Meeting, May 5, 2005 • EEC All-Hands Meeting, May 5, 2005 • OII All-Hands Meeting, May 6, 2005 • AdCom Input, May 11-12, 2005 • EEC Support Staff meeting, May 13, 2005 • OII Retreat, May 19-20, 2005 • Future meetings between EEC and OII TBD
Proposed Changes to EEC & OII • EEC establish working groups for Engineering Education and Engineering Research Centers • EEC take on leadership for research infrastructure programs • OII take on • Partnerships for Innovation(PFI) from EEC • Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRC) from EEC • Grants Opportunity for Industrial Liaison (GOALI) from DMII to form new IIP Division
Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers • Advanced Electronics (5 centers) • Advanced Manufacturing (2) • Advanced Materials (7) • Biotechnology (4) • Civil Infrastructure Systems (3) • Information and Communications (5+4) • Energy and Environment (3+1) • Fabrication & Processing Technology (9) • Health and Safety (3) • Quality, Reliability & Maintenance (2) • Systems Design and Simulation (1) The University of Iowa (lead institution) and the University of Texas at Austin
Support from all sources for I/UCRCs, 2002-2003 (amounts shown in millions $)
Partnerships for InnovationProgram Goals • Enable the transformation of knowledge into innovations that create new wealth, build strong local, regional and national economies; • Broaden the participation of all types of academic institutions and all citizens in NSF activities for broad workforce development; and • Catalyze the enabling infrastructure necessary to foster and sustain innovation for the long-term.
Partnerships for InnovationProgram Activities Research/Technology Transfer/Commercialization Workforce Education/Training (Technician-Ph.D.) Infrastructure for Innovation
Grant Opportunities forAcademic Liaison with Industry(GOALI) • The Mechanisms • Faculty and Students in industry • Industry Scientists and Engineers inAcademe • Industry-University Collaborative Research Projects

Strategy: Examine assumptions underlying the ERC program, trends for the future, and define guidelines for configuration of the ERC program of the future. (Same for both ERC and I/UCRC) Future for Centers
Conceptual map of Centers relative to their activities in fundamental research and technology transfer and innovation
Strategy 1. Focus on research on how students learn engineering, UG and Grad. Strategy II. Focus on attracting more talented and diverse students to engineering, at all levels Future for Engineering Education
