Goals for 2013-14: UPDATESDevelop a new model for Engineering Online to encourage growth, new pedagogical development and sustainability• Collaborating across campus to

provide faculty support

• Awarding grants for online course development (up to $9,000 per course)

• Developing funding model for blended/flipped course support

Goals for 2013-14: UPDATES

Increase the number of graduate students who have enrolled or accepted admission by 5%• 1,200+ graduate students expected for fall 2014

• Graduate research student increase initiative provides recruitment funds to increase numbers — college and departments provide funds 1st year; supported by researchers in 2nd year

• Accelerating Collaboration in Research Initiative provides funds to develop new ideas and/or increase collaboration not pursued by others due to lack of time or resources

Goals for 2013-14: UPDATESExpand research portfolio and increase expenditures by 7.5%

• 2013-14 research proposal dollars submitted: $207.8M – 8.6% increase from 2012-13

Goals for 2013-14: UPDATESDigital Lab for ManufacturingCreate an Innovative EcosystemIncrease the innovative capacity of OEMs and their suppliers through digital integration and strategic collaboration.

Commercialize Research Move ideas from TRL 4-7 through a network of physical and virtual demonstration sites.

Strengthen the U.S. Economy• $100B in value to OEMs per year• $30B in value potential to DoD per year• 75,000 jobs created in the first 5 years Source: McKinsey Global Institute and team analysis

Goals for 2013-14: UPDATESThe Digital Lab Guiding Approach

Three Technology Focus Areas

Utilization of high-performance computing to model materials, products and processes to enable “design with manufacturing in mind”.

INTELLIGENT MACHINING (IM)

ADVANCED ANALYSIS (AA)

Integration of smart sensors and controls to enable equipment to automatically sense and understand current production environment in order to conduct “self-aware manufacturing”.

ADVANCED MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISE (AME)

Agile and robust manufacturing strategies and integrated capabilities that dramatically reduce the cost and time of producing complex systems and parts.

OPEN SOURCE PLATFORM

An open source technology system across the entire manufacturing value chain.

DIGITALCOMMONS

A 'hub and spoke' model, where the 'hub' will be the Digital Lab for Manufacturing based in Chicago, and the 'spokes' will be all the applied research on the manufacturing floors of our partners across the US.

NATIONAL NETWORK

HUB & SPOKE MODEL
