Then and NowWhat were the key ingredients in getting us from then to now
Strategic Plan that gave us direction and was focused on our visionAll encompasing and focused Marketing effort of our program and people (annual reports, Endowed Chair Announcement, web design, campaigns, national level activity by chair, seminar series, etc.)Funded graduate student advising tied to teaching assignment (raised the level of graduate education and research and gave faculty more time for it and helped to increase productivityHiring process that focused on the quality of the hire and was tied to strategic plan Investment in undergraduate program and facilities (Phase I) andon our people (Phase II – endowments)
Department of Mechanical Engineering - Engineering Mechanics
Charting our CourseMoving our program to the next level
Change is required – we have reach the limit of the gains that can be achieved from what has gotten us from then to nowThis retreat focuses on the changes necessary to grow our program. They are
• Research Caucuses – Making this a reality• Graduate Program –Supporting the Caucuses,
growth and the strategic plan• Undergraduate Program – Continuing to distinguish
us as the “Best in Class” and supporting the strategic plan
• The Plan for the Future: Phase II Campaign-$52 Million in endowments
