The University of Pittsburgh The University of Pittsburgh of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education is a nonsectarian, coeducational, state-related, 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 228 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 Swanson School of Engineering Since 1846, the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering has developed innovative processes and designs that have shaped our state, our country, and our world. Swanson School faculty and students are on the forefront of developing solutions to create a better future and continue its founding commitment to industrial, electrical, and mining engineering, the fields the world relies on for its energy and raw materials. The Swanson School also focuses on our health, our planet, and the ingenuity that keeps us competitive with recognized programs in bioengineering, sustainability, and energy. Nanotechnology, manufacturing, and product innovation are also critical strategic initiatives. The Swanson School of Engineering prepares graduates through actual experience to enter exciting careers in advanced research and industry. Students find their place in the workforce through our established co-op program and working partnerships with engineering’s top companies. Our faculty and staff represent countries around the world and are internationally recognized for providing excellent educational programs, for conducting cutting edge research, and for creating the partnerships that shape the industry. 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 chairman 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. 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.

Officials from the University of Pittsburgh and Sichuan University in China participated in a groundbreaking ceremony on July 2, 2014 at the Sichuan University campus in Chengdu to launch construction of the first building. The first entering class matriculated during a special ceremony with Pitt Chancellor Patrick Gallagher and others on September 25, 2015.

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

16


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.

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.

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 another strong year. The year ended with a total of 1,025 active students, including 985 undergraduates and 40 graduate level co-ops, which is almost a 6.4% increase over last year’s rate of participation. Numbers from the previous year included 935 active undergrads and 28 graduate level co-ops. New placements for the year rose from 377 new placements in 2013-2014, to 415 students in 2014-2015. Our company participation rose to over 285 employers. The program also demonstrated strong numbers in the diversity of the program participants, particularly an increase in female participation. 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 $63,920. The average GPA of a graduate who participated in co-op was 3.428. The report shows 94% placement of the co-op engineering graduates, based on a 92% response rate. There was 100% placement among computer engineering and electrical engineering graduates who responded to the survey. In Bioengineering, 10 of the 11 graduates were placed. Our Co-op Employer of the Year for 2014 was Westinghouse Electric. Westinghouse has been a long term partner to Pitt’s Co-op Program as well as a partner and resource to various departments within the Swanson School. Pitt’s Co-op Student of the Year was Gian-Gabriel Garcia, who went on to become the American Society of Engineering Education’s Intern Student of the Year for 2014. Gian was an outstanding co-op student for Universal Electric, and a stellar intern for Eaton during the summer of 2014. He was involved in research at the University and is attending graduate school to earn his PhD. Our goals for the upcoming year will be to increase our number of student and employer participants in all engineering fields while retaining the quality of our program. Sustainable Engineering Undergraduate Research Program through Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation MCSI currently offers a 12-week undergraduate summer research program aimed at providing talented undergraduate students with creative opportunities that go beyond the engineering classroom curriculum and enable them to develop their own ideas and work independently on hands-on research projects in sustainable engineering with advice and guidance from a faculty mentor. 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.

21


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 students’ 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 Pittsburgh’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 177 students, including the 2015 graduates and the newly admitted eighth grade students, participated in the INVESTING NOW program during the 2014-2015 academic year. In 2015, 31 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 2015-2016. 22.6% of the students chose to attend the main campus of the University of Pittsburgh. In addition, 71% 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 eight faculty mentors involved in the 2015 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 34 incoming first year engineering students who participated in the 2015 Summer Engineering Academy class; this number included fourteen females and twenty males. Global Engineering Preparedness Scholarship Program (GEPS) Thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation, the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering and its Office of Diversity (EOD) have established the Global Engineering Preparedness Scholarship program (GEPS). GEPS helps to support the recruitment, retention and graduation of low-income students from underrepresented minorities and majority populations. GEPS also prepares students for the global marketplace by offering international opportunities that students would not normally be able to participate without additional supporting funds. Because the engineering career of the 21st century is more globally competitive than ever, GEPS also provides an integrative framework that focuses on access, continuous academic support, development of global competency and leadership experience. International experience is now an integral part of engineering education, and highly sought after by employers across all engineering disciplines. GEP Scholars will have access to Pitt’s exceptional education abroad programs to experience international skills sought by the engineering profession. GEP Scholars are selected from a pool of admitted students or transferring students meeting US citizenship or permanent residency requirements and having unmet financial needs as determined through the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid. Beyond scores and academic performance students are offered GEPS admission by committee review of GPA, SAT/ACT scores, strength of high school courses, class ranking, teacher recommendations for overall potential for success, extracurricular activities, honors and awards, professionalism, leadership, and personal statement. All GEPS Scholars must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 to retain the Scholarship. All GEPS Scholars who complete the second year of the program with GPA of 3.0 and above are eligible for the GEPS International Study Abroad Scholarship. During spring of 2015, 11 freshmen and 5 transfer students were recruited bringing the total number of GEP Scholars to 20. Undergraduate Enrollment The School continues to actively engage students from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field of engineering. Figures from the beginning of academic year 2014-2015 indicate that there are approximately 169 ethnically underrepresented (African American, Hispanic and Native American) students enrolled, representing 6.0% (168/2798) of the undergraduate student body in the School and 3.3% (93/2798) multiracial undergraduate students. Female students represent 26.6% (745/2798) of the undergraduate student body. Undergraduate Graduation 39 ethnically underrepresented students (20) African Americans and (2) Hispanics graduated from the Swanson School of Engineering during the 2014-2015 school year, representing 3.9% (22/557) of the graduates for the year. Twenty-eight multi-racial students graduated, representing 5.0% (28/557) of

23


the graduates. In addition, 119 women graduated during the year, representing 21.3% (119/557) 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 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 a 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 and 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 the 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. Seven students participated during the summer of 2014 and two enrolled as PhD students for 2015-16. 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. Twelve K. Leroy Irvis Fellows were enrolled in PhD programs studies in 2014-15; eight in Bioengineering, two in Mechanical Engineering, one in Electrical and Computer Engineering and one in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering. The Dean’s Graduate Diversity TAs continue to be a positive incentive to departments that make best efforts in the recruitment of students from diverse backgrounds. Eight terms were given to departments for the 2015-16 academic year: Bioengineering received 2; Chemical and Petroleum Engineering received 1; Electrical and computer Engineering received 2; Civil and Environmental Engineering received 2; and Industrial Engineering received 1.

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 women’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. The MS enrollment in 2014-15 reflected 124 female students (22.5%); 18 underrepresented MS students (3.2%); and 4 multiracial students (0.7%). PhD enrollment for 2014-15 reflected 112 females (25.5%); 22 underrepresented students (5.0%); and 8 multiracial students (1.8%). Of 68 PhD degrees conferred between August 2014 to April 2015, 23 were upon women (33.8%) and one was awarded to an underrepresented minority student in (1.5%). Of the 270 Master degrees awarded in 2014-15, 84 were awarded to women (31%); seven were awarded to underrepresented students (2.6%) and five were awarded to multi-racial students (1.9%).

Research Facilities, Centers and Institutes The strength and diversity of the School’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 Engineering’s research groups maintain laboratories at this site. U-PARC’s pilot plant services range from petroleum, petrochemical, and chemical-based technologies to environmental, synthetic fuels, biotechnology, and other emerging technologies.

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

38


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 The Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure’s (CSTI) vision is to advance the state of sustainable transportation research through collaborative, multi-disciplinary efforts, education, and dissemination of new technologies and knowledge.

Composite Materials Laboratory The Composite Materials Laboratory research focus is in penetration and fracture mechanics of composite materials, the characterization of associated dynamic failure modes, and understanding of the physics of dynamic failures of new generation of composite materials. Recent new generation of material designed and under investigation includes a TaC/CNTs/SiC

39


cermic matrix composite, a potentially high temperature performance structural composites that is light weight, and possesses good toughness, thermal shock resistance and good energy absorption capacity. Fracture toughness measurement for the TaC/CNTs/SiC CMCs is being carried out by the three point flexure test, with SEM employed to observe the deformation phenomena and detect the fracture toughening behavior. The penetration Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (P-SHPB) is used to carry out the low velocity high strain rate dynamic impact test of this new material. In terms of the failure or fracture in the ceramic composites, the perforation is characterized by matrix crack, fiber crack and plug push out. Problems investigated include the effect of CNTs reinforcement and loading condition on the compressive strength of the composites, and understanding the energy absorption mechanism and the wave propagation phenomenon which causes the composite plate damage and characterizes the damage mode. The lab is equipped with a high-performance penetrating and fracturing Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) integrated to a high speed optical/CCD imaging system for high strain rate testing.

Sustainability and Green Design Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and energy consumption monitoring equipment: A dedicated IAQ and energy monitoring system was installed in the MCSI building. Energy consumption is sensed with application-specific (e.g. lighting, receptacles, mechanicals), panel-based electrical meters and HVAC system flowmeters, while IAQ data (CO2, PM, VOCs) were collected using the AirCuity OptiNet system. OptiNet is an indoor air quality sensing system which features a central sensor suite and unique structured cables housing air sampling tubes and control wires. Vacuum pumps continuously bring air from the sample locations through the tubes to the sensor suite for analysis. The OptiNet system was selected due to its compatibility with the existing campus-wide building automation system and its ability to measure air quality data at a high level of temporal resolution at multiple locations within the building. The MCSI OptiNet data has been correlated with local environmental agencies’ air quality sensors to establish a reference standard, and the resulting data have been used in several peer-reviewed publications. Recently, our research team has developed a mobile IAQ monitoring system or cart, which utilizes GrayWolf technology to sense total VOCs (TVOC), CO2, CO, ozone, temperature and humidity, as well as a 6-channel optical particle counter which can measure PM10, PM2.5 and finer particles.

 94% (200/212 students) are employed in engineering/technology and/or attending graduate school.

212/231 students (92%) responded to a post-graduate survey that asked: where did they complete their co-op rotations, if their co-op employer offered them a fulltime position and if so, did they accept the position. If students did not accept a position with their co-op employer, the survey asked for information about their current employer, and all students were asked to provide their salary. Finally, students were asked if and where they were attending graduate school.

Chemical & Petroleum Engineering Michael J. Fetkovich, BSPE ’54, DSc (Hon.) Phillips Fellow Emeritus, Senior Principal Reservoir Engineer, Member of the National Academy of Engineering Phillips Petroleum Michael J. Fetkovich is a Phillips Fellow Emeritus of Phillips Petroleum Company in Bartlesville, Okla.. He earned a BS in petroleum and natural gas engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and the degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences (honoris causa) from the Norwegian Institute of Technology, Trondheim, Norway (1989). Dr. Fetkovich spent his entire career with Phillips Petroleum, starting as a gas well test engineer in Dumas, Tex. through senior principal reservoir engineer in Bartlesville. He is widely recognized for being the first to develop and use what is now called “nodal analysis.” This work was done for the Hewett Gas Field in the UK sector in the North Sea and was later presented at the Tulsa SPE MidContinent Section as a continuing education course in well test analysis. His work in decline curve analysis is an example of applying all available information to solve problems; rate vs. time production data is the most abundant type of data available to engineers. The “Fetkovich Type Curve” is the most widely used and referenced tool in papers on this topic; the work is an outgrowth on his earlier work and publications on a simplified approach to water influx calculations. Dr. Fetkovich is a Distinguished Member of the Society for Petroleum Engineers and became an elected member of the National Academy of Engineers in 2005. His many honors include the Anthony F. Lucas Gold Medal (1999) from the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers, the Reservoir Description and Dynamics Award (1989) and Lester C. Uren Award (1993) from the Society of Petroleum Engineers. He is a resident of Oklahoma and a native of Monaca, Pa., which he still visits. Civil & Environmental Engineering John D. Bossler, PhD, BSCE ’59 Retired, Professor and Director of the Center for Mapping The Ohio State University John Bossler, upon receiving his bachelor of science in civil engineering from the University of Pittsburgh in 1959, joined the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (now part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA) as an Ensign in the Commissioned Officers Corps. His first assignment was to perform hydrography on the eastern shore of Maryland and later in the Chesapeake Bay aboard a hydrographic ship, and similar assignments in Hawaii and Alaska. He also learned how to obtain astronomic and geodetic positions (latitudes and longitudes) using high-accuracy astronomic telescopes and optical triangulation techniques. He was selected on merit to attend graduate school in geodesy at The Ohio State University (OSU), where he earned his master’s degree in geodetic science in 1963. After working in a geodetic laboratory using satellite triangulation for accurate positioning, he returned to OSU and received his PhD in 1973. During his geodesy career, Dr. Bossler was influential in developing the Global Positioning System (GPS) for geodetic surveying. He became the Director of the National Geodetic Survey (NGS), the only organization of its kind in the U.S. Later, he became Director of the Coast and Geodetic Survey - the parent organization of NGS. As director, he was promoted to Rear Admiral, the organization’s highest position.

298


Dr. Bossler served as president of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping; the head of the American Civil Engineers section on Geomatics; and leadership positions in other related professional societies. He was the principal architect of the 1983 redefinitions of the geodetic datums in the U.S. and received the U.S. Commerce Department’s highest award, the Gold Medal, for his work on U.S. geodetic networks. He is the co-author of a book on surveying and editor of The Manual of Geospatial Science and Technology. He has written over 100 papers on surveying, mapping, geodesy, geographic information systems and photogrammetry. He is a licensed engineer and surveyor in Maryland, and a licensed surveyor in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Washington. After his retirement in 1987, Dr. Bossler became a professor at OSU and director of OSU’s Center for Mapping. His team of faculty and researchers fostered the development of the “GPS-Van” technology in 1990. He continued teaching and research at OSU until his retirement in 1997. He has received numerous awards from OSU and from professional societies, and still consults within his field. He has come a long way from helping his father with his Johnstown, Pa. land surveying company while growing up! Electrical & Computer Engineering Jeffrey M.
