13 COE STRATEGIC VISION Engineering Health Systems Robotics & Sensor Technology Bioengineering Emphasis on the integration of research and education Nanotechnology Information & Communications Technology Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Security & Critical Infrastructure Energy & Environmental Systems Transportation & Logistics

14 Solving Society s Energy Challenges NSF Engineering Research Center for Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) Systems Center Director: Dr. Iqbal Husain Top 10 Emerging 21 st Century Technologies ~MIT Technology Review Creating the Internet for Energy for renewable energy generation and storage Over 40 industry partners, 120 students and catalyst for numerous clean-tech companies

15 Transforming US and Global Health Informatics NSF Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST) Center Director: Dr. Veena Misra Developing and employing nano-enabled devices and sensors to create innovative, battery-free, bodypowered, and wearable health monitoring systems Currently supports 100 plus graduate and undergraduate students and has 33 industry and 4 university partners

16 NSA Science of Security Lablet (SoSL) Based out of Computer Science Led by Drs. Laurie Williams and Munindar Singh 14 supported NC State faculty; 18 supported NC State students Multi-disciplinary: 4 NC State colleges and institutes 6 collaborating university partners Other NSA SOSL lablets: Carnegie Mellon, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and University of Maryland Figure from IEEE Security and Privacy, May-June 2011 issue Critical cyber systems must inspire trust and confidence, comply with applicable security and other policies, predictably protect the integrity of data and resources as well as the privacy of data owners, and perform reliably and safely. Therefore, a scientific basis for the design, analysis and operation of trusted systems is needed.

17 Center for Educational Informatics Transforming education with next-generation learning technologies NAE Grand Challenge for Engineering: Advanced Personalized Learning Director: Dr. James C. Lester Mission: Design, deploy, and evaluate adaptive learning systems for nationalscale education and training solutions Support: NSF, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, William & Flora Hewlett Foundation, EDUCAUSE, Army Research Laboratory, USDA, SAS

18 Student Success NAE Grand Challenge Scholars Program Five Components 1. Research experience. Research related to a Grand Challenge. 2. Engineering + curriculum. Engineering education that intersects with public policy, business, law, ethics, human behavior, risk as well as medicine and the sciences. 3. Entrepreneurship. Preparing students to translate invention to innovation; to develop market ventures that scale to global solutions in the public interest. 4. Global dimension. Developing students who are able to address global challenges and lead innovation in a global economy. 5. Service learning. Developing and deepening students social consciousness and their motivation to bring technical expertise to bear on societal problems.

19 Final Thoughts At NC State we have found that: The NAE Grand Challenges and the Grand Challenge Scholars Program (GCSP) together have provided us with a valuable platform that has enhanced our research and educational mission It has motivated us to be much more innovative and globally aware thereby bringing out the very best in our students and faculty This platform has also allowed us to define our educational and research directions in ways that serve the needs of our state, region and local constituencies

20 Final Thoughts Our responsibility: As engineering educators, is to assure that our students graduate with both the breadth and depth needed to be major players in addressing and solving the societal grand challenges facing our nations and the world

21 Our daily commitment to our students is to ensure that the E in Engineering truly stands for Excitement.
