OAI Dean’s Committee September 1988

• “The Engineering Deans of Ohio Universities recommend that the Ohio Aerospace Institute be established to focus and continue to improve and develop the state’s strengths and capabilities to play a major role in the evolving opportunities in the aerospace field. The institute is envisioned as a strong partnership of Ohio Universities, government laboratories, and industries…”


OAI Dean’s Committee September 1988 • OAI is envisioned as a world class center devoted to aerospace related

research, graduate and continuing education and industrial assistance and technology utilization… it will:

– Provide a shared facility for the state’s academic community promoting collaborative scholarly research and training in aerospace technologies

• Research performed by full time and visiting faculty, industry guest researchers working with NASA researchers

• OAI will offer aerospace-related grad level courses… acceptable for academic credit to participating universities. OAI will not grant degrees.

• Distance learning connections to NASA, AFRL, universities, industry

• Thanks to OAI, participating universities will be able to more successfully compete for projects and funding

– Accelerate aerospace technology transfer to industry

– Promote the development and growth of high technology enterprise

Success Story: AeroAcoustics Research Consortium (AARC)

• Pre-competitive research on – Engine noise prediction – Mitigation & measurement

• Boeing, Honeywell, NASA Glenn, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce

• 5:1 leverage for all partners • In its 10th successful year • Sponsored 44 research efforts

and 11 workshops to date, nationally/internationally



Collaboration & Information Exchange


Ohio Aerospace Day – March 10, 2011


Ohio Aerospace Working Group • Informal collaboration of eight Ohio regional

economic development organizations, OAI, and ODOD

• Goals: 1. Collect feedback from the Ohio Congressional

Delegation on aerospace challenges and opportunities that are important to the Delegation

2. Increase the awareness of the importance and capabilities of aerospace in Ohio, and the impact of aerospace on economic growth in Ohio

3. Provide assistance and serve as a resource to make the Ohio Congressional Delegation as effective and influential on aerospace challenges and opportunities as other benchmark states

4. Achieve unified, coordinated bipartisan support on critical cross-regional aerospace challenges and opportunities in Ohio

Success Story: Education & Training

The Ohio Space Grant Consortium • 23 Ohio institutions of higher learning

– More than $4.1M in scholarships and fellowships to date

• Supports students pursuing degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math and allied education

• Over 500 undergraduate scholarships awarded since inception

• Over 150 graduate fellowships awarded since inception

• OSGC has touched every Ohio county and Congressional district

• www.osgc.org





Education & Training: Inspiring Future Aerospace Workforce

• Student internships • Scholarships/Fellowships • Research in residency





Collaborative Projects: OhioView

• Consortium of 12 Ohio Universities formed in 1996 to: - Discover/create new remote

sensing applications from satellite data

- Create new education programs in remote sensing

- Disseminate remote sensing knowledge to local government organizations, industry & public

- Funded by NASA, USBR, USDA

- $850K to date in support of participating universities


Student and Faculty Development: Ohio Aerospace Internship Program • OAI’s “Ohio Aerospace Internship Program” is funded as an Ohio Third

Frontier Internship Program – now entering its 5th year • Over 100 Ohio college/university/resident students have been placed in

aerospace-focused internships throughout the State of Ohio

• OAI leverages its activities in Ohio Space Grant Consortium, NASA Internship Program to recruit and build awareness

“The Third Frontier Internship program has allowed us to accelerate our company’s progress toward getting ISO-certified. The funding provided by the state gave us the flexibility we needed to hire two interns for the summer. We got many of our manufacturing processes documented and made improvements in our automation software. The students also benefited--with experience in manufacturing and quality control to augment their resumes and guide their careers. This program is invaluable to small manufacturers like ourselves, and It provides meaningful jobs to engineering students in our universities…We were very pleased to participate, and will continue to take advantage of this program.”
