ASHRAE and Education ASHRAE and Education
Educating Tomorrow's ASHRAE Members
William Ryan
ASHRAE Member
Our Industry’s Issues in Education
Building Designs Have Become More Driven by Social Needs and More Complex Energy EfficiencySustainability (LEED)Higher Comfort CriteriaWider Variety of Systems in a More Global
HVAC Market Greater Need for Engineers with Both
Bachelor and More Advanced Degrees
2
From ASME – Issues in Education
growing complexity of engineered systems, rapid emergence of new technologies, globalization - driving force for change -
increasing global competition, declining financial support for state
universities forcing bachelors to four years.
A Vision of the Future of Mechanical Engineering Education

Meanwhile Education is Economically Threatened
“Gentlemen, we have run out of money. It is time to start thinking.”
Sir Ernest Rutherford, Nobel Laureate (Chemistry)
Quote Used in Rising Above the GatheringStorm"; Prepared for the Presidents of the
National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of
Engineering, and Institute of Medicine
5
Are Engineering Schools Teaching the Right Things?
Undergraduate Engineering DegreesUnder Increasing Pressure to Provide Truly
4 Year Programs120 Credit ProgramsStill MUST Cover Theoretical BasicsProfessional Electives Being CutEven the Basic HVAC Courses!
6
Ref: ASME, A Vision of the Future of Mechanical Engineering Education
Professional DegreesProfessionals Need More than a 4 Year Bachelors
Professionals Need More than 4 Years Engineering is Way Behind Other Fields
Some Fields Have Long Focused on an Advanced Professional Degree
Medicine/Dentistry/Law etc.
More Field are Now Taking Up this Pattern K-12 Education (Teachers) Nursing (Post BS Certifications Req. by Law)
Even Our Co-Workers Architecture Requires 5 Years for AIA Certification
(Which is Now Essential)
7
Professional DegreesFocusing On the “Practice” of Engineering
Vast Majority of ASHRAE Members are Practicing EngineersDesign, Energy Auditing, Energy ServicesServing Clients Directly
Post-Graduate Engineering Degrees Tend to Focus on Research and TheoryEngineering Research is NeededBUT Most Engineers Go into PracticeNeed for Practice - Based Masters
8
Professional DegreesFocusing On ASHRAE’s Needs
Demographic DilemmaExperience Professionals in ASHRAE are
Aging Toward Retirement (Me Too!)Need an Accredited Process to Bring NEW
Engineers to the Field Complete with Needed Skill Sets
Today - Design is Internationally Competitive
In-House Training is Too Expensive
9
Professional DegreesFocusing On ASHRAE’s Needed Skill Set
Engin. Basics More Needed than EverDesign Issues-More Technically Advanced
What Else – Beyond the BachelorsHVAC Basics AND Computer Aided DESIGN (not Drafting), LEED,
Energy Codes, Building Simulation, Auditing and Commissioning, HE Lighting, Energy Procurement, Demand Ventilation, Passive Design, Integrated Practice
and the List Goes On

What Does Education Need from ASHRAE Members?
Clarity and CommunicationsWhat Do HVAC Design Firms WANT?
Universities Need Greater Input An ASHRAE Certification??
AIA Does this Now Seeing the Need
Firms Need to Understand the Need for College and Grad Students to Handle the New World of Building Technology
16
What Does Education Need from ASHRAE Members?
Financial IssuesNot an Appeal for MoneyAn Appeal for Student JOBS
INTERNSHIPS, EMPLOYMENT Professional Programs Do Not Provide
Graduate Student Support! Graduate Energy & HVAC Students
Already have a BS Degree Show Commitment to THIS Industry
17
Summary
What ASHRAE Needs from AcademiaGraduates – Probably Masters Level –
Equipped for the FUTURE HVAC Industry What Academia Needs from ASHRAE
Greater Input from and Coordination with the A&E HVAC Industry
Student Internships and Sponsorship Like the ASHRAE’s Scholarships
Announced Tonight !!

Final Note on Education
“We had more sports-exercise majors graduate than electrical
engineeringgraduates last year. If you want to become the massage capital of the
world, you’re well on your way.”Jeff Immelt, CEO, General Electric Co
