The University of Pittsburgh The University of Pittsburgh of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education is a nonsectarian, coeducational, state-relate, public research university. It is internationally respected as a center for learning and research. The University was founded in a log cabin near the confluence of Pittsburgh's three rivers in 1787 as a small private school named the Pittsburgh Academy, was renamed in 1819 as the Western University of Pennsylvania, and then was renamed again in 1908 as the University of Pittsburgh. The University became state related in 1966. Since its founding 227 years ago, the University of Pittsburgh has established itself as the most comprehensive educational complex in the region. It provides a wide range of academic programs and services for the Pittsburgh metropolitan area’s population of 2.4 million. With an enrollment of nearly 35,000 students, the University is one of the largest institutions of higher education in Pennsylvania. Supporting the needs and interests of the University are more than 13,000 faculty members, research associates, and staff members. University-related spending is $1.74 billion annually, making an important economic impact on the local economy. The University comprises five campuses. The 132-acre Pittsburgh campus is located in Oakland, which is the city of Pittsburgh's cultural and medical center. The University’s four regional campuses are located in Western Pennsylvania, in Johnstown, Greensburg, Titusville, and Bradford. More than 100 academic, research, and administrative buildings, and residence halls are located on the Pittsburgh Campus. Pitt’s University Library System is the 22nd-largest academic library system in North America. In fiscal year 2012, the University’s 25 libraries and collections surpassed 6.6 million volumes. The Pittsburgh campus comprises 16 undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools: the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences; the College of General Studies; the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business and College of Business Administration; the Schools of Education, Law, Social Work, and Information Sciences, and the Swanson School of Engineering; the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs; and the University’s six schools of the health sciences -- Graduate School of Public Health and the Schools of Dental Medicine, Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy. Overall, the University offers more than 450 distinct degree programs augmented by numerous dual, joint, and cooperative degree program options. In fiscal year 2012, the University conferred 8,949 degrees. (In 2014, it was 9,049.) The University of Pittsburgh is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools as well as by various specialized accrediting agencies. It is a member of the Association of American Universities, which is an organization a consortium of 62 leading doctorate-granting research institutions in the United States and Canada.

International experience in engineering is a core component of the academic curriculum, with study abroad programs offered in South America, Europe, and Asia. The mission of the Swanson School of Engineering is to produce highly-qualified engineers and useful creative research and technology through academic excellence. The faculty and staff at the Swanson School of Engineering are recognized for providing excellent educational programs, for conducting leading edge research, and for creating innovative industrial partnerships.

History The University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering has a long and distinguished history. The earliest engineering courses at Pitt were established in response to the growth of Western Pennsylvania during the early industrial revolution, with the first degrees of “Engineer” awarded in 1846, thereby establishing Pitt as the nation’s sixth earliest engineering program. The involvement of Pittsburgh industry in the years surrounding the Civil War transformed a regional industrial base into one with strong international significance, and the University responded to the need. In 1868, specialized degrees in Civil and Mechanical Engineering were initiated, with Mining Engineering following in 1869, and Electrical Engineering in 1890. In 1909, the Department of Metallurgical Engineering was established, followed by the Department of Chemical Engineering and the world’s first Department of Petroleum Engineering in 1910. Also in that year, the School created one of the nation’s first undergraduate Cooperative Education Programs. Pitt Engineering’s tradition of innovative programming resulted in the establishment of one of the nation’s first Industrial Engineering Departments in 1921. The most recent department, Bioengineering, was established in 1998. Among the many prominent individuals associated with the early history of the School were Samuel Pierpont Langley and Reginald A. Fessenden. Langley, who is credited with developing the engineering science of aerodynamics during his 24 years at Pitt, designed the first heavier-than-air craft capable of flight and greatly influenced the Wright Brothers. Fessenden, brought to Pittsburgh by George Westinghouse as the first electrical engineering department head, obtained more than 300 patents. Through his pioneering studies with voice transmission, he is now credited with being the “Father of Radio” and made the first broadcast of the human voice in 1906. Throughout the 20th century the School of Engineering continued its growth, and moved to a new Engineering Hall in the 1950s. This was also accompanied by the institution of new programs such as international education to strengthen the academic experience of engineering students. As the student population continued to grow, the University developed plans for a larger facility and commissioned the construction of Benedum Hall of Engineering, in honor of a grant from the Benedum Foundation. Benedum Hall was completed in 1971. The 1990s saw the emergence of new centers of excellence which promoted cross-disciplinary infrastructure between departments, as

well as the launch of the new bioengineering program and the Center for Biotechnology and Bioengineering at the Pittsburgh Technology Center, on the former site of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Mill Complex in nearby Hazelwood.

Engineering 21st-Century Success In 2007, the School became the Swanson School of Engineering after a landmark event: John A. Swanson (PhD ’66), founder of ANSYS Inc., made the largest individual philanthropic commitment in the history of the University of Pittsburgh at that time. As a result of his remarkable generosity, the Board of Trustees presented a formal resolution on February 29, 2008 and announced the changing of the school’s name to the John A. Swanson School of Engineering. His gift, along with that of John C. “Jack” Mascaro (BSCE '66, MSCE '80), founder and president of Mascaro Construction Company, enabled a multi-year transformation of Benedum Hall into a building with more open labs and “smart” classroom space, enabling greater collaboration between faculty and students. A new three-story annex that connects to Benedum Hall was completed in 2009 and is home to the Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation as well as labs, classrooms and the new Bevier Library. In 2012 the Swanson School received a $22 million grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation - one of the largest private foundation grants in Pitt’s history. The gift will accelerate the research and education efforts of the Center for Energy, create new faculty positions and graduate fellowships, and establish a fund for spurring innovative research on a newly designated Energy Floor in Benedum Hall. Later in 2012 the Swanson School exceeded its $180 million campaign goal and announced that over $200 million had been reached. The goal was part of the University of Pittsburgh’s comprehensive $2 billion campaign, which was also reached in 2012. The funds will enable the full transformation of the Swanson School of Engineering, both physically and academically, and establish it as one of the leading engineering programs in the world. On April 14, 2014, to mark the tenth anniversary of the University of Pittsburgh’s Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation (MCSI) and to build upon the ongoing philanthropy of two of Pitt’s most generous donors and engineering alumni, Pitt announced a new $37.5 million funding initiative comprising various endowments and current funds to support sustainability-related academics and research. Through the leadership of a new Sustainability Task Force established by the Office of the Provost, the University will extend sustainability initiatives throughout Pitt’s academic programs and research initiatives. This expanded commitment to sustainability was inspired by Mr. Jack Mascaro and Dr. John A. Swanson, both of whom contributed toward the new sustainability initiative.

New International Partnership, New Campus In 2013 the Swanson School led a University effort to create a joint institute with Sichuan University, one of China’s premier engineering schools. Pitt is one of only five U.S. universities to have entered into a large-scale partnership agreement with a university in China; the others are Carnegie Mellon University, Duke University, New York University, and the University of Michigan. Sichuan University will initially invest nearly $40 million to support the construction and equipping of a new 300,000-square-foot building to house the Sichuan University – Pittsburgh Institute on its campus. With emphases on advanced sustainable manufacturing and educational innovation, the institute will initially offer three undergraduate degree programs: industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, and materials science and engineering. Students in the institute will be recruited from the United States, China, and possibly other countries, with the first class in fall 2015 expected to comprise 100 students. Within seven years, enrollment is projected to grow to 1,600. Officials from the University of Pittsburgh and Sichuan University in China participated in a groundbreaking ceremony on July 2 at the Sichuan University campus in Chengdu to launch construction of the first building.

Students will spend the first two years of the program immersed in the Pitt curriculum in China with the option of transferring to Pitt’s main campus during their third year in the program. Students who transfer to Pitt directly after their sophomore year will earn a bachelor’s degree from both Sichuan University and Pitt, and all students will receive an institute certificate upon completion of their studies. Qualified students will also be able to continue their graduate studies at Pitt.

Swanson School of Engineering Special Academic Programs First Year Engineering Academic Program – Integrated Curriculum The School of Engineering’s First Year Engineering Academic Program consists of a welldesigned series of integrated courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics and engineering. All engineering first year students pursue this common, integrated core, which includes an honors component for the most academically gifted students. The two specially designed engineering courses (ENGR 0011 and 0012) not only introduce students to basic engineering skills and problem formulation and solving methodologies, but also provide an overview of the various engineering disciplines. A unique aspect of the program is the integration of instructors from the English Writing Center and the School of Engineering Bevier Library staff into the first year coursework. As a result, students complete two major writing projects: a first semester paper describing in-depth an area of engineering that the student is interested in as a possible major and a second semester paper that is part of the professionally run Annual Freshman Engineering Conference, in which all first year engineering students participate. This later paper must be on a relevant engineering topic and include a discussion about sustainability. Student papers are arranged into sessions chaired by professional engineers. Session chairs meet with the students during the semester, critiquing the developing papers and offering suggestions for improvement. First year engineering students also participate in a two-term engineering seminar (ENGR 0081 and 0082), conducted in part by upper class peer advisors. These seminars provide general information on the transition to college, the improvement of study skills, and an overview of the various engineering fields. Moreover, students are given several opportunities to visit the various programs to discuss with faculty their anticipated program of study. In addition to these opportunities, the First Year Engineering Program office provides career and academic advising, workshops, and assistance with the Engineering Living Learning Community which is located in Forbes Hall. Special programming is also conducted in Sutherland Hall, the LLC for first year honors students. Honors Options A selected number of outstanding students are offered the opportunity to take ENGR 0711 instead of ENGR 0011 during the Fall Term. This accelerated course covers the two-course sequence in one term, enabling students to choose from two special courses in the Spring Term: • ENGR 0712 provides an opportunity to learn mathematical modeling and research methodologies with one of the School’s most distinguished faculty • ENGR 0715 provides students with an opportunity to apply engineering methodologies in a service learning environment with local organizations. ENGR 0715 Engineering Applications for Society is a unique, rewarding learning experience for first year engineering students who have completed the prerequisite ENGR 0711 Honors Engineering Analysis and Computing Fall semester course. The course provides a “Service Learning” experience through which students learn and develop valuable skills necessary to succeed as an engineer by solving a real problem of value to a local community organization. The goal for this course is to create a win-win experience for both the students and the community organizations. In return for their participation in the students’ educational process, the

community organizations benefit by having a problem of value addressed or “solved” by the students. Not only are the students rewarded by the satisfaction of solving a real problem of value to their community, but through this experience they learn many personal and professional skills that cannot be learned in a traditional engineering curriculum. In particular, they learn that solving problems as an engineering professional truly involves more than the equations learned in classrooms where the answers can be found at the end of a book. International Programs The Swanson School of Engineering has been one of the first engineering programs in the country to recognize the increasingly international dimensions of engineering practice. To us, this not only means that a large proportion of our graduates must be prepared for overseas assignments, some of which may be of long duration, but it also means that a substantial portion of engineering work will continue to be sent offshore to technically competent engineering graduates who demand salaries that are considerably less than current US salaries. The implication is clear – US engineering education will have to change if our graduates are to remain competitive in the market place and bring value beyond their technical skills. Consequently, a major long-range objective has been to create a broad, coordinated program of international opportunities for our students that enable them to learn to work as engineers in cross-cultural environments. This suggests creating a variety of courses and exchanges, including some in which Pitt engineering students join international students in design projects working both virtually and on-site. Swanson School students have the option to choose to study abroad for a semester, a summer, or as part of a short-term program (of four weeks or less), as well as to participate in an international research experience, internship, or service learning project. Much of our success is due to the Swanson School partnering with the International Business Center and the College of Business Administration. We have also worked closely with the University Center for International Studies (UCIS), its area studies centers, and especially the University’s Study Abroad Office. These partnerships have resulted in several successful initiatives, several of which are outlined below: The Plus3 Program - The “Plus 3” program is for rising sophomores. It builds upon material covered in Managing Complex Environments for CBA students and ENGR 0012 for engineering students. The School of Engineering has participated actively for the past several years, sending both faculty and students abroad. The three-credit course begins with four preparatory class sessions in March and April, followed by a two-week study trip in early May, then ends with each student team presenting a final report in early September. During the two-week trip, business and engineering students work in teams as they make a number of company visits and prepare a report on a particular industry. Pitt students also have an opportunity to interact with local students, hear guest lectures and make several cultural visits while in the host country. Each trip is led by a faculty member accompanied by a support staff from Engineering, the College of Business Administration, or the University Center for International Studies (UCIS). The Plus3 program aims to cultivate interest in foreign language study and future study abroad. This is particularly important for engineering students, as the discipline has traditionally been less well-represented due to time constraints imposed by strict curriculum requirements. The Plus3 model has been so successful that the University of Pittsburgh has adopted it to create “Integrated Field Trips Abroad,” now a component of courses across the university curriculum. The Plus3 Program received the 2005 Institute for International Education’s Heiskell Award for innovation in study abroad.

Engineering for a Better Environment Brazil – this short-term program is offered to students who have an interest in renewable energy. The program, which is offered as a three credit course at Pitt, introduces students to various forms of green energy in Brazil.

The program, offered as a three credit course at Pitt, brings students to Cusco, Peru to study sites from the Incan culture and to work directly with a local community to address a technical issue relating to structures. Engineering in the Americas Before Columbus: Belize - this short-term program, developed as an alternative to the Cusco, Peru location, is offered to students with an interest in structures. The program, offered as a three credit course at Pitt, brings students to Belize to study sites from the Maya culture and to work directly with a local community to address a technical issue relating to structures. Engineering of the Renaissance: Pitt in Florence – this four week, six credit program focuses on exploring various sites of significance to the development of the European Renaissance. By visiting the actual places where the great minds of the Renaissance- including da Vinci, Galileo, and othersactually conducted their research and studies, students are introduced to the important principles of engineering and physics that were developed during this period. Undergraduate Student Exchange with the Universidad De Montevideo – this three credit, two-week course on “Global Supply Networks and Manufacturing Cultures in Latin America” was developed in collaboration with colleagues at the Universidad De Montevideo. It provides participants with an understanding of international supply chain operations with a special focus on Latin American and Uruguay. The two-week study visit to Uruguay enables students to place their understanding of those concepts within an international, cross-cultural context. As part of our agreement with the Universidad de Montevideo, we accept their students as part of an exchange, where they can study at Pitt for a full academic semester. INNOVATE (International Technology, Innovation and Leadership Conference) – this program was created by Rice University and IAESTE in 2004. The Swanson School joined (in 2012) as a sponsor and created a special course, ENGR 1600, in conjunction with the INNOVATE Symposium. This ten-day study trip for a large group of US students and several international students in early March visited several countries in Asia. The Symposium addressed how technology has driven globalization and business decision-making. The ENGR 1600 course was taught as a collaborative effort between Pitt and Rice University using video conferencing. It was divided into three sections: the pre- and post-trip phases and the actual trip. Prior to the trip, the course focused on topics related to Asian countries and globalization, with guest speakers drawn from Asian Studies alumni with expertise in Asia. These lectures provided the basis for comparative discussion and analysis. Topics included: leadership, technology trends, history and politics, economics, contemporary culture and demographics, and specific analysis of different business sectors. After returning, students documented their experience, through an end-of-semester formal paper and presentation at the annual Alumni Dinner. Internship and Exchange opportunities in Germany The University signed an exchange agreement the UAS-7 Consortium – seven Germany universities (Berlin School of Economics, Bremen University of Applied Sciences, Cologne University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Munich University of Applied Sciences, Münster University of Applied Sciences, Osenabrück University of Applied Sciences) whose core academic strength is their engineering/technical degree programs. The agreement allows for the exchange of students from the UAS-7 universities and the University of Pittsburgh for study and internship experience.

As part of this exchange agreement, SSOE undergraduate students can be selected to participate in the UAS-7 Consortium’s “Study and Internship Program (SIP) in Germany” Program. Selected students spend the fall semester taking courses at one of the Universities of Applied Sciences, and spend the spring semester doing a full-time internship at a German organization that is arranged by their host university. Students in the SIP program receive substantial funding from Germany to participate in this program. FIPSE-CAPES Program (Brazil) - In AY 2007-2008, an agreement was signed for the federally-funded FIPSE-CAPES program: “US-Brazil Partnership in Sustainability and Innovative Design (S&ID) between the SSOE and two Brazilian institutions, the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the Federal University of Espirito Santo (UFES). This agreement allows for the exchange of SSOE students and UNICAMP and UFES students for study, as well as a provision for key faculty to develop curricular projects that focus on issues of sustainability, product realization, and innovative design. In AY 2010-2011, a new FIPSE CAPES agreement was signed for the project “Bilateral Development on Aeronautic Skills between U.S. and Brazil” between the SSOE and two new Brazilian institutions, the Federal University of Itajuba (UNIFEI) and the Federal University of Parana (UFPR). This agreement has allowed the exchange of students and faculty, as well the development of innovative shared curricula. To date, 17 Swanson School of Engineering students have participated in both of our FIPSE CAPES programs. Energy Today – Energy Tomorrow: Australia.

ESMD volunteers also help to refurbish wheelchairs weekly at Global Links, an NGO with operations and contacts throughout

Central America. EMSD is working with Global Links to create an international immersion experience that would provide EMSD members with an opportunity to work directly with health care providers in developing countries. Cooperative Education Program (Co-Op) The co-op program had a strong year. The year ended with a total of 963 active students, including 935 undergraduates and 28 graduate level co-ops, which is almost a 10% increase over last year’s rate of participation. Numbers from the previous year included 847 active undergrads and 31 graduate level co-ops. New placements for the year rose from 365 new placements in 2012-2013, to 377 students in 2013-2014. Our company participation rose to over 265 employers. The program also demonstrated strong numbers in the diversity of the program participants. Our post-graduate survey of BS level students entering the workforce reported that 48% of the co-ops received full-time offers from their companies, and 83% of those students accepted. The average starting salary for a co-op who graduated and entered the work force was $63,508. The average GPA of a graduate who participated in co-op was 3.277. The report shows 92% placement of the co-op engineering graduates, based on a 96% response rate. There was 100% placement among the computer science co-op graduates and computer engineering graduates who responded to the survey. Our Co-op Employer of the Year for 2013 was Eaton Corporation, a long-time supporter of the Swanson School of Engineering and co-op program. Their co-op program has become a benchmark for other companies to follow. Students will work at least one term at a manufacturing site in addition to the corporate headquarters. Eaton is a true partner to Pitt’s co-op program as well as a partner to various departments within the Swanson School. We are looking forward to expanding our Eaton relationship and congratulate them for this honor. Pitt’s Co-op Student of the Year was Haotian Howard Wang, who went on to become the American Society of Engineering Education’s Co-op Student of the Year for 2013. Howard made exceptional contributions to the Swanson School of Engineering as well as his co-op employer, Lubrizol, where he spent four work sessions. Haotian was instrumental in streamlining some of the processes at Lubrizol, which made significant savings for the company. Our goals for the 2014-15 year will be to increase our number of student and employer participants while retaining the quality of our program. We particularly look to expand the program in the areas of bioengineering and chemical engineering due to the expansion of student participation from those areas.

Pre-College and Undergraduate Diversity Programs The Swanson School of Engineering implements programming that promotes and supports the academic excellence of high achieving pre-college and undergraduate students from groups traditionally underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. INVESTING NOW is the pre-college diversity program and Pitt EXCEL is the undergraduate diversity program. These two initiatives provide a continuous pipeline for students from groups traditionally underrepresented to prepare for, enter and graduate from the University of Pittsburgh as STEM majors. INVESTING NOW Created in 1988, INVESTING NOW is a college preparatory program designed to stimulate, support and recognize the high academic performance of pre-college students from groups that are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors and careers. The purpose of the program is to ensure that participants are well prepared for matriculation at the University of Pittsburgh. The primary goals are to 1) create a pipeline for well-prepared students to enter college and pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics majors; 2) encourage and support studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; enrollment and achievement in advanced mathematics and science courses; 3) ensure that the participants make informed college choices; 4) support and encourage parents in their roles as advocates for their children; and 5) coordinate partnerships between the University of Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Swanson School of Engineering and local and regional schools. INVESTING NOW recruitment, which focuses on eighth grade students, takes place in the spring of each academic year. However, membership involves a student commitment to attend year-round programming from ninth through twelfth grade. Some of the student activities include academic advising, tutoring, hands-on science and engineering workshops, college planning sessions, summer enrichment classes and SAT preparation. Approximately 200 students, including the 2014 graduates and the newly admitted eighth grade students, participated in the INVESTING NOW program during the 2013-2014 academic year.

In 2014, 33 INVESTING NOW students graduated from high school. 15% of those students currently attend the University of Pittsburgh main campus. 100% of the graduating class enrolled in college for 2014-2015. In addition, 63% of the students are majoring in science, technology, engineering or mathematics fields at various colleges and universities. Pitt EXCEL Program Pitt EXCEL is a comprehensive program committed to the recruitment, retention and graduation of academically excellent undergraduates, particularly individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field. Program activities include academic counseling, tutor and study sessions, engineering research and mentoring opportunities, graduate school preparation and career development workshops, as well as a two-week intensive chemistry, math, physics and study skills review session for pre-freshmen entitled the Summer Engineering Academy. Brief descriptions of the major programs sponsored by Pitt EXCEL are highlighted below: Summer Research Internship (SRI) Each year, selected Pitt EXCEL students participate in a nine-week Summer Research Internship (SRI) Program. Students are assigned to faculty mentors who lead research teams. Each student meets regularly with Pitt EXCEL academic counselors to review daily journals, discuss progress, and collaboratively discover innovative solutions to engineering problems. The primary objective is for students to develop a positive relationship with a role model in their discipline of engineering. Additional objectives for facilitating a mentoring partnership include: personal and career guidance; access to the professional community; and guidance that will ease the transition from school to work or undergraduate to graduate school. There were ten students and ten faculty mentors involved in the 2014 Summer Research Internship Program. Summer Engineering Academy The Summer Engineering Academy is a two-week residential program for incoming engineering students that enable them to make a smooth transition from high school to college. During the program, students learn essential study skills for college and receive an intensive review of chemistry, math and physics concepts, with an introduction to engineering problem solving. There were 24 incoming first year engineering students who participated in the 2014 Summer Engineering Academy class; this number included ten females and fourteen males. Undergraduate Enrollment The School continues to have measurable success in the education of students from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field of engineering. Figures from the beginning of academic year 2013-2014 indicate that there are approximately 179 ethnically underrepresented (African American, Hispanic and Native American) students enrolled, representing 6.8% (179/2625) of the undergraduate student body in the School and 3.1% (81/2625) multiracial undergraduate students. Female students represent 25.5% (669/2625) of the undergraduate student body.

Undergraduate Graduation 39 ethnically underrepresented students (31) African Americans, (7) Hispanic, and one Native American) graduated from the Swanson School of Engineering during the 2013-2014 school year, representing 7.2% (39/538) of the graduates for the year. Thirteen multi-racial students graduated, representing 2.4% (13/538) of the graduates. In addition, 121 women graduated during the year, representing 22.5% (121/538) of all graduates. DIVERSITY GRADUATE ENGINEERING INITIATIVES The Engineering Office of Diversity (EOD) administers the Diversity Graduate Engineering Initiatives to identify, prepare, and recruit traditionally underrepresented students for graduate engineering education through partnerships with student organizations, graduate research experience and diversity graduate fellowships and scholarships. GRADUATE RECRUITMENT PROGRAMS Pre-PhD Undergraduate Research Experience (PURE) program The purpose of the Pre-PhD Summer Experience is to create a pipeline for students who wish to pursue PhD degrees in engineering at the University of Pittsburgh and support their preparation and transition to SSoE. The Engineering Office of Diversity (EOD) identifies engineering students with GPA of 3.5 and from groups traditionally underrepresented in engineering from institutions across the nation. The students are chosen by extensive information including GPA, interviews, essays, research interests and recommendations. Students are assigned faculty mentors who lead multidisciplinary teams in advanced research are expected to challenge the students and inspire them for graduate education Each student is required to work a minimum of 30 hours per week on faculty guided research, meet with faculty mentor regularly, attend bi-weekly mentoring sessions with the Associate Dean for Diversity, participate in an ethics forum, keep a personal daily research journal, prepare literature reviews, write a journal quality paper on research findings, and present research results to faculty and graduate students at the end of the program. Discover Graduate Engineering Education The Discover Graduate Engineering Education event hosts junior and senior undergraduate students and engineering graduates from partner Universities to continue to build a pipeline of students applying to the SSoE. The students spend two nights and 1.5 days meeting faculty and graduate students, visiting labs, touring the City and PITT campus and learning about the importance of graduate school. Graduate Diversity Fellowships The EOD has implemented an aggressive strategy to recruit underrepresented graduate students, expand college visits and widen fellowship opportunities. With the support of the Office of the Dean, the Office of the Provost, and the Office of the Chancellor, the University of Pittsburgh is a member in the National GEM (Graduate Engineering Minority) Consortium. The GEM Consortium program awards fellowships designed to offer opportunities for undergraduate students to obtain M.S. and PhD degrees in engineering through a program of paid summer internships and graduate financial assistance. One GEM Fellow is continuing her studies in Bioengineering. Ten K. Leroy Irvis Fellows are continuing their studies in 2014-15; seven in Bioengineering two in Mechanical Engineering, and one in Electrical and Computer Engineering. One Irvis Fellow graduated with an MS degree in Industrial Engineering in spring 2014. Two K. Leroy Irvis Fellowships have been given for 2014-2015; one to a Bioengineering student and one to a Chemical and Petroleum Engineering student.

The Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Graduate Diversity TAs continues to be a positive incentive to departments that make best efforts in the recruitment of students from diverse backgrounds. Eight terms have been given for the 2014-15 year to departments: Bioengineering received 2; Chemical and Petroleum Engineering received 2; Civil and Environmental Engineering received 1.5; Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science received 2.5. GRADUATE RETENTION PROGRAMS Graduate Student Organizations The Engineering Diversity Graduate Student Association (EDGSA) was created in 2011 as a network of minority graduate engineers. The purpose of EDGSA is to foster an opportunity where minority graduate students can connect and network with each other as accountability partners to provide a strong support group for the challenges and emotional supports for academic retention and transition to professional careers within engineering. EDGSA students also serve as peer mentors to NSBE and SHPE as models to follow in graduate education. The Graduate Women in Engineering Network (GWEN) is a newly recognized student organization whose mission is to retain women in STEM fields, promote women in leadership capacities, and create an official network for women in engineering. GWEN, although founded in 2005, was reactivated in 2013 as an official women graduate student organization by female faculty members and EOD as major voice for womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issues at SSoE. As with EDGSA, GWEN also serves as peer mentors to SWE as models to follow in graduate education and retention of more women in engineering. STATISTICAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES Graduate Enrollment and Graduation: The School of Engineering has had success in increasing the numbers of female and underrepresented students enrolled in its MS and PhD programs. There were 140 female MS students in 2013-14, an increase of 17. The number of underrepresented MS students enrolled decreased from 12 in 2012-13 to 9 in 2013-14. The number of multiracial students increased from 1 in 2012-13 to 6 in 2013-14. The number of female PhD candidates increased from 95 in 2012-2013 to 103 in 2013-14.

Research Facilities, Centers and Institutes The strength and diversity of the Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research centers and institutes reflect the interrelationship and often complementary nature of faculty research activities. The concept of centers and institutes within the University and the Swanson School of Engineering takes advantage of this natural grouping process, thereby producing synergistic interactions that enhance the faculty research capabilities. Consequently, the scope of research that can be addressed by any group of faculty is expanded significantly. The students who participate in center and institute research have a unique opportunity to be involved in important projects throughout their graduate experience. Furthermore, centers and institutes represent an attractive opportunity for corporate and agency sponsorship of both basic and applied research. There are a number of centers and institutes that exist in the University and the Swanson School of Engineering and several that are in various developmental stages. The following are brief descriptions of existing centers and institutes. The Michael L. Benedum Hall of Engineering Students enrolled in the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering receive their education in the modern, well-equipped Michael L. Benedum Hall of Engineering. The building complex is named in honor of Michael L. Benedum, a pioneer in the oil industry and co-founder of the Benedum Trees Oil Company. A grant from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation enabled the University to purchase the land on which the engineering complex is built. The Michael L. Benedum Hall of Engineering consists of a completely air-conditioned 14-floor engineering tower and a separate 538-seat auditorium. Classrooms and offices occupy the perimeter of the building, with the library, student lounge and student activities offices located on the plaza level. Laboratories are confined to central bays with heavy-equipment laboratories located in the sub-basement, which extends under the entire complex. These large rooms accommodate special instructional facilities that approximate actual industrial conditions.

Interdisciplinary University of Pittsburgh Centers Involved with the Swanson School of Engineering University of Pittsburgh Applied Research Center (U-PARC) U-PARC, located 12 miles from the main campus is a multimillion-dollar, 55-building facility housing scientific equipment and services available to the University community. Over 100 corporations, including a number of emerging high-technology companies, have offices at U-PARC. In addition, several of the Swanson School of Engineeringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research groups maintain laboratories at this site. U-PARCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pilot plant services range from petroleum, petrochemical, and chemical-based technologies to environmental, synthetic fuels, biotechnology, and other emerging technologies.

Bioscience Tower 3 (BST3) In the fall of 2005, the University of Pittsburgh formally opened the newly constructed, state-ofthe-art Biomedical Science Tower 3 (BST3), adjoining research facilities and UPMC clinical facilities as well as the medical school’s Scaife Hall. BST3, one of the most advanced research facilities of its kind, houses more than 50 laboratories occupied by approximately 500 scientists, graduate students, technicians, and support staff. Among the programs housed in BST3 are: • Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC) • Center for Vaccine Research in Biodefense and Emerging Infections • Department of Computational Biology • Department of Neurobiology • Department of Structural Biology • Developmental Biology Group • Drug Discovery Institute • Pittsburgh Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases (PIND) • Proteomics Core Laboratory • Regional Biocontainment Laboratory The Department of Bioengineering occupies approximately 5,500 of BST3’s 331,000 square feet, in close proximity to other research groups. The 10-story structure was built to stand as a national model for how modern laboratory space should promote interaction among scientists, foster more fruitful collaborations, and adapt to ever-changing research demands and priorities. Bioengineering research at BST3 includes applications of microtechnologies to explore cell polarity during vertebrate cell differentiation, cell and tissue mechanics during vertebrate development, biomaterials for neural prostheses and tissue regeneration, and unraveling how neural circuits transform sensory inputs into motor commands.

Center for National Preparedness The Center for National Preparedness (CNP) was established in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks to develop holistic and logical approaches to education, research, and training on issues related to national preparedness. CNP has been formulated around four primary guiding principles for Homeland Security: prevention, protection, response, and recovery. Prevention requires effective diplomatic policies, border security, and surveillance systems, which must be a first priority prior to catastrophic events. Protection provides the assurance of military vigilance, the health of the American population, the security of critical infrastructure, and the continued operation of cyber networks. Response focuses on employing properly trained and equipped professionals at the local, state, and federal levels. Recovery emphasizes the importance of rapid restoration of key components within critical infrastructure. CNP is uniquely positioned to use this multi-layered approach to provide expertise to organizations that must deal with homeland preparedness. CNP is a broad, multidisciplinary, collaborative enterprise that engages the University’s scientists, engineers, policy experts, and clinical faculty. Members of CNP possess expertise in biomedical research, public health, medicine, national security policy, engineering, and information technology. The unifying theme of our efforts is the application of systems (and systems of systems) approaches from the engineering sciences to a new academic discipline of Homeland Security and National Preparedness Studies. Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure Over the past several years, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) has strategically positioned itself to focus its research and educational efforts on the transportation sector.

Mike Modo obtained a PhD in Neuroscience from King's College London (United Kingdom) in 2001 and moved to the University of Pittsburgh in 2011. The main research interests of the Regenerative Imaging Laboratory consist of four areas. Firstly, we aim to understand the neuroanatomical basis of behavior. We are especially interested in how damage to the brain causes changes in behaviors. For analysis, we use batteries of behavioral tests, as well as non-invasive imaging, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Secondly, we intend to repair brain damage by implantation of neural stem cells and are also developing in situ tissue engineering strategies (i.e. combining multiple types of cells with biomaterials). Thirdly, we are developing non-invasive imaging strategies that allow us to visualize the location and survival of implanted cells, but will also afford the in vivo monitoring of the replacement of brain tissue. Lastly, we plan to integrate the analysis of the cytoarchitectural organization of the brain by histology with post-mortem MRI. The hope is that these research directions will eventually lead to better therapies for patients with stroke, Huntington's, and Parkinson's disease.
