Meeting the State’s EngineeringMeeting the State s Engineering Needs 

A little perspective• 2005 Steve Hora approached faculty about engineering at UHH

• 2006 took it forward to legislature (Bill Steiner and others)

• 2007 approved with 2 unfunded positions

• 2008 there was no action on the funding but there was a bill to look at engineering thro gho t the s stemlook at engineering throughout the system

• 2009 the funding was approved in HB 346 while SB 105 called for comprehensive planning for engineering in the UH system p p g g g y

• UHH funding was $500k with $200k for planning and $300k for implementation 

• Legislature is interested in continuing if there is sufficient support and progress

– Broad based community and state supportBroad based community and state support

The Mayor: “What if barge no come?” 2/17 Stakeholders meeting

• Engineering on the Big Island requires a program driven by natural resources and work force needs

• We have to develop sustainable energy and agriculture and the jobs that go with it

• The “mountain” presents a great opportunity for high tech jobs while highlighting the islands uniqueness 

• Higher education is all about innovation and engineering can be the engine that helps drives it for us

i i l “ i k ” i• Engineering programs are also “rain makers” attracting businesses and resources to the Island and UHH

Report on Undergraduate Engineering

At the University of Hawai`i at Hilo Introduction

The purpose of this report is to respond to the 2009 twenty-fifth legislature of the State of Hawaii, specifically the Senate Resolution number 105 SD1 and the House Bill number 346. This report is designed to assist the University of Hawaii System and specifically the Chancellor’s office at UHH in the development of aUniversity of Hawaii System and specifically the Chancellor s office at UHH in the development of a comprehensive approach to the teaching and training of engineers at University campuses statewide. Additional engineering curriculum offerings would allow the University of Hawaii System to excel in applied and basic science, technology, engineering, and mathematics research fields that provide the hands-on experiences essential for its graduates to be competitive in the global discovery and innovation enterprise. Toward this goal, the University of Hawaii at Hilo will establish an undergraduate bachelor in science in applied engineering. This program will emphasize robotics, artificial intelligence, data manipulation, sustainable energy, and food security and will seek to address state needs for a workforce with the education, experience, and training in high priority areas for science and technology economic development in the State. The program will also have linkages to current and next generation observatories on Mauna Kea, as well as ongoing UHH pacificlinkages to current and next generation observatories on Mauna Kea, as well as ongoing UHH pacific international space center for exploration systems. This report presents the findings and recommendations from the special advisory committee on the UHH undergraduate applied engineering program. Findings

An assessment was conducted to identify relevant needs in the State. Findings from this assessment are as follows:

1) Engineer demand: Each year, the State of Hawaii needs approximately 100 electrical engineers and 35-50 engineers specializing in a wide range of other areas to fill projected existing and newly created jobs in government and companies1.

11

g p2) Engineer supply: Each year, the University of Hawaii Manoa graduates approximately 100 engineers

from its baccalaureate and advanced degree programs in electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering. Approximately half leave Hawaii and therefore, between approximately 85-100 engineers must be imported, which represents the range of the annual in-state gap between supply and demand.

Systems engineering ‐ From Wikipedia – 60 + U.S. programs

S i i i i di i li fi ld f i i h• Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering that focuses on how complex engineering projects should be designed and managed. Issues such as logistics, the coordination of different teams, and automatic control of machinery become more difficult when dealing with large, complex projects. Systems engineering deals with work‐processes and tools to handle such projects and itdeals with work processes and tools to handle such projects, and it overlaps with both technical and human‐centered disciplines such as control engineering and project management.

Systems engineering techniques are used in complex projects: spacecraft design, computer chip design, robotics, software integration, and bridge building. Systems engineering uses a host of g , g g y g gtools that include modeling and simulation, requirements analysis and scheduling to manage complexity. 14
