22000011--22000022 During the 2001-2002 fiscal year, the School of Engineering continued the work begun in previous years, bringing us closer to our strategic goals. The School underwent a period of profound, defining growth in enrollments, endowments, research opportunities and new faculty hiring – all of which will strengthen and enrich the School’s activities and reputation in the future. Significant progress was made during the year in areas of strategic importance to our continuing growth and advancement, as detailed below. ACCREDITATION

In October, following two years of preparation and extensive reporting, the School hosted evaluators from the Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology (ABET) and the Computer Science Accreditation Board (CSAB) who reviewed six undergraduate programs which were eligible for re-accreditation. The accreditation visit culminated two years of preparation by the target departments that included two separate, scheduled practice reviews by visiting external experts commissioned to assess the programs. In addition, each program was subjected to a rigorous review by host departmental faculty, alumni, Industrial Advisory Boards and Student Advisory Boards; analysis of responses to student and alumni surveys; and implementation of a program improvement plan. For each program, detailed, expansive self-study reports were prepared for the reviewers, which included survey results and analyses, performance measures, goals and objectives, outcomes and other assessment material. Thanks to our significant advance preparation, the two-day ABET review process proceeded smoothly, and the five ABET-reviewed programs were accorded full six-year re-accreditation in formal communications received in August 2002. NEW DEGREE PROGRAMS

The School of Engineering launched a new minor program in Information Technology (IT), to be offered beginning in the fall 2002 semester. The new program addresses a growing corporate demand for workers with strong information technology skills. Initially, the IT minor will be offered to non-computer engineering majors, particularly students in traditional engineering programs such as Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and the like. We anticipate that in two or three years the new IT minor will be offered to non-engineering majors. STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

During 2001-02, the School of Engineering maintained its focus on the key areas of strategic importance to the continued growth and quality of the School: development, outreach, undergraduate enrollment, faculty recognition and facilities. Research

The lengthy negotiations begun in 2001 between the School of Engineering and Connecticut Innovations yielded a landmark agreement for establishment of the Connecticut Global Fuel Cell Center at the University of Connecticut. This agreement together with agreements between other private businesses, state and federal agencies resulted in a $14.5 million initiative. A central feature of the

Fuel Cell Center is establishment of six new endowed chair positions within the School of Engineering and an integrated mix of research, university-industry collaboration, and technology transfer geared to position Connecticut as a world leader in commercial deployment of advanced fuel cell technologies. The Center was also fortunate in securing two different, major fuel cell power plants that will serve the dual purposes of providing working demonstration units and powering engineering buildings at the Storrs and Depot campuses. Finally, in September the School of Engineering completed construction of a new Fuel Cell building, located at the Depot campus, which will serve as the hub for our research activities in collaboration with Connecticut’s rich crop of fuel cell companies. In a “first” for the School of Engineering, in December, the federal government announced that Congress had earmarked $2.5 million for the University of Connecticut to pursue research in portable fuel cells for the U.S. Army. The earmark resulted from a white paper submitted the previous year by the School of Engineering to UConn lobbyists who – together with Connecticut’s Congressional delegation and university officials – ensured the proposal was accorded proper attention. The monies were specifically set aside in the defense budget approved by Congress under H.R. Bill 1830. The earmark provides money to perform research and development activities on a portable fuel cell power system for an infantry application, and a multidisciplinary team of faculty researchers has commenced work toward fulfillment of the terms and deliverables outlined in the one-year agreement. In October, the School of Engineering and Pratt & Whitney Corp. signed a comprehensive umbrella agreement covering all legal aspects of collaborative research contracts developed during the next three years, including intellectual property and liability issues. The agreement will facilitate future research interactions between UConn engineering faculty and Pratt & Whitney engineers. Included are details concerning all aspects of the development, ownership and licensing of potential new technologies. The Computer Science & Engineering Department won $1.1 million in seed money from the National Institutes of Health/HIGMS to support planning for a future Bioinformatics Center of Excellence in Cellular Biology. Collaborating on the proposal were principal investigator Dong-Guk Shin of the Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) department and various researchers from the School of Engineering, the UConn Health Center and related departments. As planned, the center will seek to encourage interactions between computational scientists and biomedical scientists engaged in computation-intensive biomedical research. The CSE department will assume the lead role in carrying out planning activities of the Bioinformatics Center. The award is a first, significant step toward competing for a Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics within three years. In early 2002, faculty from the School of Engineering led a successful bid, with collaborators from other schools, to net a $1.4 million interdisciplinary educational grant from the National Science Foundation to introduce engineering education into the high school curricula. The program on which the proposal was modeled was the three-year-old da Vinci Project, a week-long, all-expenses-paid summer workshop for high school math and science teachers developed by the School of Engineering as a means to introduce teachers to engineering concepts and principles, and to develop educational modules for integration into the high school curriculum. The grant will permit the School of Engineering and Neag School to introduce engineering education into the secondary schools using a more integrated and multi-faceted approach. Tom Peters, also of Computer Science & Engineering, was PI on a multi-university proposal that was awarded a $700,000 three-year grant from the National Science Foundation to pursue computer and computational research. Collaborating on the proposal were researchers from the University of Montreal, Purdue, and MIT. The team will study “TANGO: Intersections – Topology, Accuracy and Numeric for Geometric Objects (in Computer-Aided Design).”

Outreach

The School of Engineering continued its commitment to enhancing awareness of engineering principles and careers among Connecticut school children and teachers. Engineering 2000 – Once again, the School sponsored this summer engineering camp for

promising Connecticut high school students, allowing 50 participants to examine core engineering and technological concepts during a one-week residential program.

da Vinci Workshop – The School of Engineering held this five-day residential, all-expenses-paid workshop the week of August 5-10, 2001. The program, designed for Connecticut math and science teachers, introduces teachers to hands-on engineering concepts and curricular modules that can be integrated into the middle- or high-school curriculum.

Connecticut Invention Convention – for the fourth consecutive year, the School of Engineering hosted and co-sponsored the Connecticut Invention Convention at Gampel Pavilion (April 6, 2002). The event attracted more than 2,000 attendees, including 650 students from Connecticut schools plus teachers, administrators, and representatives from Connecticut industry and government.

Two editions of the twice-yearly School of Engineering newsletter, Frontiers, were published and disseminated during the year. With a circulation approximating 20,000 recipients, Frontiers strives to straddle the diverse interests of alumni, corporate supporters, prospective and current students, and academics nationwide. The newsletter remained a valuable recruiting vehicle and a powerful means of enhancing the School’s visibility and reputation among its various constituents. Undergraduate Enrollment

The School of Engineering continued its strong performance in the area of undergraduate recruiting. Freshman enrollment slated for the fall 2002 is about equal to the fall 2001 enrollment figures. Of these, 32 admitted freshmen were the valedictorian or salutatorian of their senior high school classes. The total undergraduate enrollment for fall 2002, including 50 transfer students (up 60 percent over last year’s transfer figures), is 1282. The average SAT scores of incoming freshmen remain very high. The increase came with a parallel improvement in the quality of incoming students as measured by a 40-point rise in average SAT score. The increases can be attributed, at least in part, to a multi-faceted program of promotion, educational outreach and scholarship assistance helped the School. In late 2001, Dominion Nuclear Inc. and the School of Engineering signed an agreement to provide $50,000 yearly for undergraduate scholarships to engineering students. The generous investment affords us a unique opportunity to attract quality students and provide them with multi-year scholarships. The yearly sum will yield 16 scholarships, each in the amount of $3,000 and renewable on an annual basis for a maximum of four years for students who maintain a 3.0 GPA. Thus, each year a total of 16 students will receive the Dominion Nuclear $3,000 scholarship award. The remaining $2,000 of the total $50,000 each year will be applied toward support of outreach activities for the Engineering 2000 program. In spring 2002, the School presented nearly 200 merit-based scholarships, valued at nearly $400,000, to current engineering students based on academic excellence. An additional $540,000 in scholarship monies was targeted toward entering freshman students accepted for the fall 2002 term. Generous contributions by alumni, corporate, state, and federal sources fund these academic scholarships and help the School more effectively compete in the increasingly intense challenge to attract top high school students.

Faculty/Staff Recognition & Awards

The faculty recognition awards and incentives were continued during the 2001-2002 fiscal year. The awards were presented during the fall engineering reception 2001 in September, when honorees were formally recognized and thanked for their contributions before a large audience of their peers. Note that because three Distinguished Engineering Professor Awards (each with a three-year term) were presented in 1999-2000, no award was presented in 2001-2002. The remaining awards included the following:

The Outstanding Junior Faculty Award is presented to an assistant or associate professor for scholarly achievements in research, teaching and service with the promise of sustained future professional growth. The award entails a $2,000 cash award and $5,000 for professional development. The 2001 award winners were Alexander Shvartsman, associate professor of Computer Science & Engineering, and Patrick Mather, assistant professor of Chemical Engineering.

The Outstanding Teaching Faculty Award for superior achievements in teaching, entails a $2,000 honorarium plus $5,000 for professional development. The 2001 recipient was Reda Ammar, professor and head of Computer Science & Engineering.

The Outstanding Staff Service Award is presented to either a classified or professional staff member who has made outstanding contributions to the School of Engineering. The award consists of a $2,000 cash gift plus a certificate of appreciation. The 2001 recipient was Diane Chenelle, Administrative Assistant to the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department.

RENOVATIONS & OTHER SUPPORT TO FACULTY

In September 2001, we completed construction of a 16,000 square foot building for Fuel Cell Research, located at UConn’s Depot campus. The building was constructed with support from the U.S. Department of Commerce. During the year, the School also completed new Computing Services facilities to house state-of-the-art computer networking, research labs and support offices for the School of Engineering. Construction was begun on the new 100,000 sq. ft. Engineering Information Technology Building, with a December 2002 completion date. UConn 2000 monies in excess of $30 million support construction and, when completed, the building will house the Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science & Engineering departments. The ITE building will include five levels:

Sub-ground level floor - research labs and specialty teaching facilities; Ground level first floor - classrooms and a 2,900 sq. ft learning center; Second floor - research labs, administrative and faculty offices for the CSE Department; Third floor - executive conference room, research labs, spillover faculty offices and a

faculty lounge; Top floor - research labs, administrative and faculty offices for the ECE Department.

In addition, an attached 350-seat auditorium is slated for completion in June 2003. During the year, significant renovations were made to Engineering II to accommodate easier access and to enhance the attractiveness of the west and east-facing entryways, façades and grounds. The improvements included replacing the existing metal siding panels with brick, replacing the metal entrance door with a framed/glass door, relocating the existing sidewalk and upgrading the surrounding landscaping.

The Dean’s Computer Initiative instituted in previous years was continued in 2001-2002. Under this initiative, the School of Engineering covered the purchase cost of a new computer (laptop, PC or workstation) for faculty who did not take advantage of the same offer during 2000-2001, with an upper ceiling of $2,000. PERSONNEL

During the year, Associate Dean for Research & Outreach Kazem Kazerounian and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Tom Anderson stepped down to return to their home departments. Ian Greenshields, associate professor of Computer Science & Engineering and Interim Director of the Booth Research Center, was appointed Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. The position of Associate Dean for Research & Outreach was terminated. Eugene Santos, associate professor of Computer Science & Engineering, accepted the interim position effective December 1 through August 22, 2002. Effective August 23, 2002, Dr. Luh will resume his duties as Director of BRC and Dr. Santos will step into the role of Associate Director. Marni Churchill, Director of Alumni Development, accepted a new position in The Foundation as Director of Development, leaving vacant the Development position. In addition, the Director of Engineering Diversity Program vacancy resulting from Teresa Boyd’s departure in 2000 was filled during the year by former E.O. Smith High School teacher Kevin McLaughlin. Mr. McLaughlin, a UConn engineering alumnus (Chemical/Materials Engineering, ’83), taught advanced chemistry and an integrated chemistry/physics course at the high school. Concurrently, he taught a special chemistry course as part of Northeastern University’s Fundamentals of Engineering program, a prep course for engineers seeking to become certified as Professional Engineers. He has collaborated on several School of Engineering educational outreach initiatives in recent years, including the da Vinci Project and BRIDGE programs. The School conducted intensive, successful searches for a number of endowed chair and named professorships, as well as numerous tenure-track faculty positions during the year. Our diligence was rewarded with the hiring of 19 new faculty members for 2002: four endowed chair faculty and 13 junior and senior faculty members. The individuals hired to assume endowed positions are all experts of world-class caliber in several key R&D areas of strategic interest to corporate allies and of importance to the School’s continued growth.

Finally, during the year, the School of Engineering implemented a newly-developed process for evaluating its administrative personnel, including Department Heads. The procedure relies heavily on input from faculty and was conducted in a manner that assured confidentiality for all respondents. In 2001, the terms of three of our Heads expired (John Morral, Reda Ammar and Ted Bergman), and since all three expressed a desire to continue in their important administrative roles, the review process was implemented in November 2001. An impressive 90% of faculty in the relevant departments provided their assessments of their Heads to the departmental Head Assessment Committees (comprising two faculty members elected by the department’s faculty peers and one department member selected by the Dean). Drs. Ammar, Bergman and Morral were renewed as Heads by their departments for another term.

During the 2001-2002 academic year, a high rate of growth continued in the Department of Chemical Engineering research program. Standard measures of scholarship such as sponsored external research funding, peer-reviewed publications, contributed conference presentations, invited presentations, Ph.D. program enrollments, and total graduate program enrollments all increased. Several measures such as funding and chemical engineering Ph.D. program enrollments reached all-time high levels. Two members of the faculty, Monty Shaw and Bob Weiss, received major awards from professional societies for career research accomplishments. With funding from local industry, the “Frontiers in Chemical Engineering” Distinguished Lectureship was established to celebrate research in chemical engineering. An associated essay contest on the theme of the lecture brought high school students and their teachers to the department, with the winner and the distinguished lecturer both recognized as part of the two-day event. Freshman and sophomore level enrollments were both slightly higher this past year. Although total numbers showed only modest growth, student quality, as measured by record university Honors program enrollments in our Department, remained exceptionally strong. Undergraduate research remained an important component of our program, with two-thirds of our seniors conducting independent research with a faculty member during their education. This summer, 12 undergraduate students are being welcomed to our department for an intensive 10-week residential research experience sponsored by the National Science Foundation. This “REU Site in Chemical Engineering at the Nanoscale” is the first-ever REU site grant awarded to any engineering department or program at UConn, and is expected to foster the recruitment of talented domestic graduate students. SCHOLARSHIP

A review of the scholarly activities of the faculty this past year indicates that we continue to make excellent progress toward our goal of becoming a top ranked chemical engineering research department. The number of active grants in the department remained near last year’s record levels, with 66 active grants bringing in nearly $3.4 million in funding. Average funding per non-administrative faculty member remained high at $260,000, a per capita level of funding that is 20% greater than levels 3 years ago. In addition to increased external funding, scholarly activity remained strong with 44 archival journal articles published, 33 papers published in conference proceedings, and 21 invited presentations, 2 keynote lectures, and 61 contributed presentations delivered. Consistent with this, the number of Ph.D. students supervised by departmental faculty continued to climb. The total number of graduate students increased by 9 to 79, and the number of Ph.D. students supervised by departmental faculty increased to 59. As the data in the table below indicate, this is a continuation of a trend that began when the department, in 1999, established the goal of having 50 – 60 Ph.D. students supervised by departmental faculty by the summer of 2002. With a projected fall 2002 class of 13 entering chemical engineering Ph.D. students and continued strong research funding, we expect that 60 – 65 Ph.D. students will be supervised by departmental faculty at this time next year. Of these, approximately 50 will be full-time chemical engineering Ph.D. students, with the balance from the interdisciplinary polymer science and environmental engineering programs.

With regard to graduate admissions, our program remained highly selective. Of 199 paid graduate applications for the full time program, only 16% (31) were offered admission. Several of the faculty received honors for their research and educational achievements this past year. In May 2002, Professors Monty Shaw and Robert Weiss received two of the top three awards presented by the international Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE). Monty received the society’s most prestigious award, the SPE International Award, in recognition of his many years of outstanding fundamental contributions to the field of polymer rheology. Bob Weiss received the SPE Research Award for his outstanding contributions to the field of block co-polymers. Professor Doug Cooper received the 2001-2002 Rogers Teaching Award for excellence in undergraduate teaching. PERSONNEL

Associate Professor Richard Parnas joined the Department in August 2001 following a distinguished early career in polymer composites at NIST. Dr. Ranjan Srivastava, a post-doctoral fellow in the field of biochemical/biomedical engineering at the University of Wisconsin, and Dr. Lei Zhu, a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Akron and a specialist in nanostructured block co-polymers, will be joining the faculty as Assistant Professors in August 2002. STUDENTS

Our 2001–2002 graduating class consisted of 15 students, smaller than the 20-25 who have graduated annually over much of the past decade. This will be offset by an expected larger than average graduating class next year. Overall Honors Program enrollments remained strong. At the end of this academic year, 30% of our undergraduates were participating in the Honors Program. This is the highest level ever for the Department, and places Chemical Engineering first in Honors enrollment among accredited academic majors at UConn. The next highest level of participation for an accredited program is 15%, with a university average of 8.5%. Several students were recipients of awards this academic year. Graduating senior Kristin Gardiner was selected as the top female scholar-athlete at UConn and was named a Big East Conference Academic All-Star. Kristin is the only engineer among the 14 Big East students to receive this honor. Graduate student Amit Limaye received first place honors for presenting his work at the annual student technical speaking competition held jointly by the local chapters of the American Society of Materials and The Minerals, Metals, & Materials Society. Post-doctoral fellow Jose Fabrega and M.S. candidate Luying Wang received a Best Poster Award from the particle technology division of AIChE for their work presented at the 2001 AIChE Annual Meeting.

ENROLLMENTS, RECRUITING, AND OUTREACH

Increased undergraduate enrollments remain a departmental goal. Although the number of fall 2002 students - 15 at present - declaring chemical engineering as a major is an increase over last year, it remains below our target level. Our yield (fraction of admitted students who enrolled) was up to nearly 50%, a significant increase over the past two years. The challenge remains in increasing the number of applications while maintaining student quality. Aggressive recruitment of undecided engineering students and transfers from other programs within the university has again brought our sophomore enrollment to a level of 18-20 students. A departmental enrollment and outreach committee headed by Prof. Michael Cutlip, former Director of the Honors Program, is leading the recruiting effort. Undergraduate research remains a core strength of our Department. Approximately 2/3 of the senior class participated in independent research at some time during their education at UConn, consistent with 60-70% participation levels noted in previous years. A grant awarded by the National Science Foundation in February of 2002 has enabled us to establish the first-ever Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Engineering at UConn. Our “REU Site in Chemical Engineering at the Nanoscale,” supported for an initial three-year period and involving 10 departmental faculty, is one of only 7 REU Sites in Chemical Engineering in the United States. The first class of 12 REU scholars arrived in early June 2002 for the beginning of their 10- week intensive research experience. Student scholars hail from 7 different colleges and universities representing the Eastern and Midwestern U.S. and Puerto Rico. In addition to providing an opportunity for students to pursue undergraduate research, it is hoped that this program will encourage some to consider graduate education in Chemical Engineering at UConn. OTHER ACTIVITIES

The departmental seminar series continued this year under the generous sponsorship of Uniroyal Chemical. With a grant from Alstom Power Inc., the Department established the Frontiers in Chemical Engineering Distinguished Lectureship in April 2002. This lectureship involves two lectures yearly by a prominent chemical engineering scholar, one of a general nature and one a specialized technical lecture. The inaugural lectures, “Valuable Plastics: Beyond Milk Bottles and Lego® Bricks” and “Reactions at Polymer-Polymer Interfaces,” were presented by Prof. Christopher Macosko of the University of Minnesota. The Frontiers Lectureship is intended to recognize outstanding accomplishments in chemical engineering and to share the excitement of engineering science and technology with a broad audience that includes high school teachers and students. Participating students from 10 Connecticut high schools attended the general lecture by Prof. Macosko and contributed essays on the subject of his general lecture. The second edition of Principles, the full color annual departmental newsletter, was published in May 2002. Principles was again sent to all departmental alumni, all chemical engineering Department Heads in the U.S., members of the Advisory Board, seminar speakers, and selected members of the university community. During May 2002, the annual meeting of our Industrial Advisory Board was convened in the South Campus Meeting Facilities. Members of our Student Advisory Board, established in December 2000 and consisting of three representatives from each of the sophomore, junior, senior, and graduate classes, were invited to meet with the Board to discuss the educational program. Board guidance is incorporated in ongoing curriculum review in preparation for our university assessment in spring 2003.

22000011--22000022 SUMMARY

Two faculty members joined the Department at the beginning of the year and three searches were led to successful conclusions during the year, filling key positions on the faculty. The Department has sustained vigorous research and scholarship programs. Several faculty have received awards or made special achievements. The undergraduate Civil Engineering program had a very successful visit for re-accreditation. The Department has continued the improvement in the infrastructure with the completion and re-equipping a new CEE computing lab. Enrollment trends in the department appear to be responding to active outreach and recruitment activities. PERSONNEL CHANGES

This academic year we were joined by two new faculty, Drs. Britt Holmén, and Lisa Aultman-Hall. Dr. Holmén’s area of expertise is in environmental engineering and Dr. Aultman-Hall is expert in transportation engineering. Associate Professors Ogden and Smets were on full-year sabbatical leaves that included extended visits to Australia and Denmark, respectively. In addition, the academic year began with the unexpected resignation of Professor Nikolaos P. Nikolaidis. Professor Nikolaidis had accepted a position in the Department of Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Crete, Greece. In their absence, Assistant Professor Holmén was appointed coordinator of the graduate environmental engineering program and Associate Professor Abboud was appointed coordinator of the new undergraduate program in Environmental Engineering, with the charge for recruitment and high school outreach throughout the region. Professor Christian Davis was appointed the Interim Director of the Connecticut Transportation Institute. Three searches were ongoing during the year culminating in hires for the coming academic year. Professor Dani Or, from Utah State University, will be joining us as the Northeast Utilities Foundation Endowed Professor of Environmental Engineering. His expertise is in soil physics and Professor Or will provide senior leadership to environmental and water resources faculty in the department. In addition, Associate Professor Amvrossios “Ross” Bagtzoglou will be joining us from Columbia University. His area of expertise is in groundwater remediation. Assistant Professor Guiling Wang will be joining us in January 2003 from NASA Goddard. Her expertise is in water resources. With her hire, the department will be ranked second nationally in percent of female faculty in CEE departments ranked by NSF. Professor Jack Leonard announced his retirement effective the end of the academic year and a search has been initiated for a faculty member in Structural Engineering and Applied Mechanics. RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP

Faculty in the department are sustaining a robust research program with approximately $3 million in expenditures one of the leading departments in the university supporting approximately 50 graduate assistants and post-doctoral fellows. In addition, the faculty has approximately $7 million in

awards. Scholarly productivity is steady, averaging one publication per graduate student per year or 3 publications per faculty per year. AWARDS AND SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENTS

Faculty made several notable achievements, including NSF CAREER awards to Assistant Professors Anagnostou and Holmén. Two faculty received medals Assistant Professor Anagnostou received the “Plinius” medal 2002 from the European Geophysical Society, and Associate Professor Abboud received the National Order of the Cedar Medal from the President of Lebanon. Professor DeWolf achieved prominence as co-author with Emeritus Professor Johnston and his colleague Ferdinand Beer, for the text Mechanics of Materials, 3rd edition. This text is recognized as the leading text and is in use in approximately 40% of engineering schools nationwide. ACCREDITATION

The ABET accreditation evaluation of the Civil Engineering undergraduate program was completed during this year. The visit was conducted in late October 2001 and went extremely well. Final decisions will be made by the Engineering Accreditation Commission during the summer of 2002. Accreditation now includes considerable assessment and constituency involvement. Assessment data confirmed the very high satisfaction of graduating students with the education they received and the very high satisfaction of their employers. FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE

We continue to make steady progress with respect to our 5-year facilities plan. Following renovation of Castleman room 117 as the Civil and Environmental Engineering Computer Lab, we replaced all the existing computers. Many of the old machines were several years old and were of several different types. Each machine was individually configured and maintenance became extremely difficult and labor-intensive. The new machines are identical and identically configured and allow remote reconfiguration, vastly improving reliability and reducing maintenance needs. These 20 PCs are complemented with a high performance plotter, networked laser printer, and a new server. In addition, Castleman room 136 has been renovated and reassigned as an additional general-purpose computer lab equipped with 16 identical recent PCs, remotely reconfigurable. Planning has been completed for reassignment of Castleman room 208 and 209 to provide office space for water resources Graduate Assistants and Post-doctoral visitors. In addition, room 123 will soon be renovated and combined with room 117 to provide a larger computer lab. Detailed planning is underway for new space earmarked for environmental engineering faculty in the Bronwell building. That space will become available once the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering moves into their new building early in 2003. This additional space in Bronwell will relieve the current office space shortage. ENROLLMENT TRENDS

Total undergraduate enrollment has been gradually declining in recent years with the fall ‘01 enrollment of freshmen being particularly disappointing. We have undertaken several recruiting activities to combat this decline. For example, the department is developing recruiting materials and high school outreach activities. Associate Professor Abboud was specifically charged to recruit for the new undergraduate environmental engineering program. She has sent out mailings and made several high school visits. In addition, Associate Head Malla has coordinated many outreach activities including several high school groups visiting our facilities. We have made follow-up phone calls to all students admitted to our programs, answering their questions and letting them know of our particular strengths. As a result, the anticipated fall ‘02 freshman enrollment looks significantly greater than in the past several years. We will be continuing our recruitment efforts in the coming year.

Meanwhile our graduating class has been steady with influx from within the School and external transfer students. In addition, our graduating classes are becoming more representative, with 40% of our graduates being female. PLAN FOR 2002-2003

There are some curriculum development activities underway that will be completed during the coming academic year. We will continue with our infrastructure plan with renovations in Castleman and the assignment of some space in the adjoining Bronwell building. We anticipate developing Master of Engineering “on-site” programs similar to those in some departments in the School. We look forward to another successful year in the development of the Department.

22000011--22000022 This has been an extremely productive and successful year for the Computer Science & Engineering Department. Our accomplishments include:

Completing the accreditation process for two of our degrees; the Computer Science &

Engineering degree and the Computer Science degree. Revising all our undergraduate programs, including the Computer Engineering degree (this

latter degree is offered jointly with the Electrical & Computer Engineering department). Recruited the first Named Professor in the history of the department, two new tenure-track

junior faculty members, and two visiting assistant professors. Increasing substantially our research funding. Actively participating in planning the new Information Technologies Engineering (ITE) new

building. Professor G. Engel co-edited Computing Curricula 2001: Computer Science, published by

IEEE Computer Society Press. ACCREDITATION PROCESS

During last summer, we continued preparing for the accreditation team site visit on October 22nd and 23rd. Two teams from ABET and CSAB visited our department to consider both of the Computer Science & Engineering program and the Computer Science program for accreditation. The visit to the department and to the School went very well, with minor concerns being corrected right away after the visit. Primary reports reflect a positive conclusion of the accreditation process. We are expecting to hear the final decision in the fall of 2002. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS HIGHLIGHTS

During this year, we revised our undergraduate programs to make them more distinguishable from each other. We also corrected their pre-requisite structures. Two new minors were developed. The first one is in Information Technology. Its objective is to advance the incorporation of computers in the curriculum of other engineering disciplines. The second one is in Bioinformatics and is offered in collaboration with the Department of Molecular Cell Biology. Its objective is to integrate computational education into the curriculum of biological sciences. Our graduate program continues to receive international recognition as indicated by the number of applicants from the top schools worldwide and the number of students joining the department who are funded by their governments (including the USA). FACULTY RECRUITING

The department recognizes that faculty are the heart of any academic department in a Research I institute such as UConn. Therefore, we continue to search for the best faculty candidates from the top ranked universities. We succeeded in hiring the first Named Professor in the history of the department, Dr. R. Sanguthevar, who graduated from Harvard and worked at the University of Florida. We also hired two new tenure track junior faculty, Dr. Swapna Gokhale, who graduated from Duke University and worked for Telcordia Technologies, Inc., of New Jersey, and Dr. Laurent Michel, who graduated from Brown University and continued as a post-doc there for two years. We hired two visiting assistant

professors: Dr. Aggelos Kiayias, who graduated from City College of New York and Dr. Manish Sarkar, who graduated from Indian Institute of Technology. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS

Our research productivity is increasing at a very high rate. Dong-Guk Shin (in collaboration with researchers from the UConn Health Center) was awarded a $1,103,813 planning grant (seed money) by the National Institutes of Health for his proposal entitled “Integrated Bioinformatics Center of Cellular Biology.” The objective of this grant is to develop and plan a Bioinformatic Center of Excellence in Cellular Biology. Reda Ammar is an investigator in this project. Alex Shvartsman (PI) and Alex Russell (co-PI) received a major NSF-ITR grant in collaboration with MIT (total grant $1,030,000; $463,000 for UConn). Eugene Santos is also one of the PIs of another NSF-ITR ($409,000). Tom Peters received a major NSF funding ($715,000, one third of which is for UConn) for his project “I-TANGO: Intersections---Topology, Accuracy and Numerics for Geometric Objects (in Computer-Aided Design).” This project is in collaboration with researchers from MIT, Purdue and the University of Montreal. Steve Demurjian and Dong-Guk Shin continued to receive funding (more than $150,000/year) from the State of Connecticut Insurance Department. In addition, a number of other CSE faculty received new grants from federal agencies, such as NSF, and industy. A complete list is given in the enclosed faculty reports. Our faculty have increased their participation in professional societies as officers and on editorial boards and on international conferences’ steering committees and as program chairs. Alex Russell received the best paper award in ICALP, Europe’s premier theory conference. Faculty members have also been invited to present their research directions and results, including keynote addresses in several major international and national conferences, Air Force centers and prestigious institutes such as MIT and SUNY. THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING (ITE) BUILDING

Last year, together with the ECE department and the Associate Dean, we continued to plan the new ITE building. The new building has high quality research and educational facilities and we are very excited about moving there next year. The department will also maintain research activities in the Booth Research Center. MISSION STATEMENT

The department's mission statement will continue to be “Expanding both education and research programs in a complementary approach to respond to the pressing needs of society and the rapidly changing technology in the information era." Both increasing research productivity and delivering high quality education will be pursued equally as strategic guidelines for the department. The department will continue its emphasis on an integrated computer science and engineering approach and will try to balance the engineering paradigm with the scientific exploration in its educational and research programs. CONCLUDING REMARK

The department is in an exciting era. Our educational programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels are well developed to serve the state and the nation. Research is growing at a very high pace and high quality new faculty members have been hired. We are continuing to excel in both teaching and research.

22000011--22000022 HIGHLIGHTS

Despite the heavy load of breaking in a new Department Head, ECE faculty, students, and staff maintained a strong momentum in AY 2001-2002. Following extensive preparations, including two formal external reviews, compilation of substantial self-study documents, and significant instructional laboratory upgrades, the ECE department underwent ABET evaluation in fall 2001. ECE faculty efforts to maintain high-quality instructional programs were rewarded with a full six-year accreditation of the Electrical Engineering program and with very positive comments by the evaluator. This excellent result was achieved by the enthusiastic participation of our constituents. Faculty, students, and staff provided knowledgeable input during the visit. Alumni, employers, and friends in industry played key roles in the data collection and assessment processes by timely responses to surveys. Other major pursuits during the year included faculty recruitment, definition and implementation of the Computer Engineering program (with Computer Science & Engineering), a faculty retreat to formulate a strategic plan, and preparations for the move to the new Information Technology Engineering (ITE) building. RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP

Strategic research areas pursued by ECE faculty include systems and manufacturing, microelectronics, biomedical engineering, optoelectronics, electromagnetics and photonics, and VLSI computer engineering. Assisted by outstanding graduate students and visiting scholars, the faculty maintains high funding levels on a continuous basis. Associated scholarly productivity continues to be strong. During the year, the faculty published 243 scholarly papers, including 75 full-length journal articles, 13 book chapters, 119 full conference proceedings papers and 36 other publications. They also published 2 books and 8 course manuals, and developed 8 software packages. They offered numerous professional short courses, were keynote speakers at 7 international conferences and delivered 23 invited talks. The faculty worked on 100 sponsored grants with annual expenditures of $3.6 million and were awarded 2 patents. This effort involved 107 graduate students, resulting in 13 Ph.D. degrees and 16 M.S. degrees. This level of scholarly productivity has been recognized through appointment of the faculty to 5 major journal editorships, 22 associate editorships or conference chairs, 20 other editorial appointments and a multitude of other officerships, honors and awards. FACULTY RECRUITMENT

Three new ECE faculty members will join us in fall 2002. Two are in the area of Computer Engineering; they will play leading roles in establishing instructional and research activities in this new joint program. John Chandy, with degrees from MIT and the University of Illinois, is an expert in computer architecture, parallel systems, and distributed data storage. Hanho Lee, educated at the University of Minnesota, conducts research in VLSI circuits and systems design for applications such as digital signal processing, communications, and networks. In addition, we recruited a new faculty member in Optical Communications, Bing Wang, who earned his Ph.D. at Princeton University in 2002. His research interests span optical communications, optical computing and optical switching. The recruitment of these three outstanding new professors was accomplished following an arduous search process involving a large number of highly qualified applicants. The successful filling of these positions

meets strategic departmental needs and greatly improves our capabilities in research and teaching in these and related fields. UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION

High-quality undergraduate programs are emphasized in the department. Currently, we offer undergraduate degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering (jointly with the Computer Science & Engineering Department), and Engineering Physics (jointly with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences). Four ECE faculty members are major players in the interdisciplinary Biomedical Engineering program. Recent improvements were made in the core undergraduate laboratories and in the senior design laboratory. Computer control in laboratory work and relevant software tools are increasingly applied throughout the curricula. In fall 2001, 135 students were enrolled in Electrical Engineering and 64 in Computer Engineering. During the year, 55 undergraduate courses were taught, 16 independent studies conducted, and 31 B.S. degrees awarded. FACULTY HONORS

As recognized contributors in their fields, ECE professors win many awards; the major ones received during the year are summarized as follows: Yaakov Bar-Shalom was awarded the University of Connecticut Board of Trustees Distinguished Professorship 2002. Rajeev Bansal won the ECE Excellence in Teaching Award in fall 2001. Bahram Javidi received the University of Connecticut Alumni Association 2002 Faculty Excellence Award in Research, the Chancellor’s Research Excellence Award for 2002, and the School of Engineering Distinguished Professor 2002 Award. Peter Willett won the ECE Outstanding Research Achievement Award in fall 2001. Robert Magnusson was named Fellow of SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering. Additionally, the faculty continues to receive professional service appointments reflective of their contributions. John Enderle was appointed Editor-In-Chief of IEEE EMB Magazine. Peter Luh holds the Editor-In-Chief position for IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation. Krishna Pattipati is Editor-In-Chief for IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics-Part B: Cybernetics. Mehdi Anwar serves as an Editor of IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, and Eric Donkor is Editor of the Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Aside from providing the reason for being, ECE students contribute significantly to the department. The IEEE student branch and the Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) student honor society were active during the year hosting two well-attended ECE parties. The IEEE president was Walter Doll with faculty advisor John Ayers; HKN president was Paul Scott and advisor Martin Fox. HKN initiated a departmental newsletter “Current Events,” addressing numerous subjects of importance to ECE students. They initiated the HKN Kleinman Scholarship, named for former ECE faculty member David Kleinman. The ECE Student Advisory Board met and delivered a list of recommendations for improvements to the Department Head. These suggestions have been communicated to the ECE faculty and to the Industrial Advisory Board. Finally, our multidisciplinary team senior design projects were sponsored by a record number of industrial partners including Electric Boat, Ford Motor Company, Gerber Technology, Pfizer, Rogers Corporation, and Solar Dynamics.

22000011--22000022 During the 2001-2002 academic year, the Department of Mechanical Engineering had an undergraduate enrollment of 174 students, and a graduate enrollment of 78 students. Thirty-nine bachelor’s degrees were conferred. In total, the department faculty served as advisors to 10 graduating master’s and 4 graduating Ph.D. students. FACULTY AND STAFF

There were 14 full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty members in the department during the 2001-2002 academic year. The department employs two non tenure-track faculty members and is home to three clerical staff as well as two professional staff members. Mr. Tom Mealy (mechanical technician) and Mr. Jim Clougherty (computer technician) joined as the two new professional staff members. Ms. Jean Winters retired in May 2002 after many years of excellent service to the department. The department was remarkably successful in bringing new faculty on board. Dr. Nigel Sammes joined the department as the United Technologies Chair Professor of Fuel Cell Technology in May 2002. Previously, he held the positions of Director of Fuel Cell Development at Acumentrics Corporation, and the Fletcher Challenge Chair Professor of Fuel Cell Development at the University of Waikato (New Zealand). Dr. Kenneth Reifsnider, currently the Alexander Giacco Chair Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Virginia Tech, will join the department as the Pratt & Whitney Chair Professor of Design and Reliability in the autumn of 2002. Dr. David (Ed) Crow, most recently Senior Vice President of Engineering at Pratt & Whitney, will join the department in August 2002 as a Distinguished Professor-In-Residence. Dr. Crow is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. In addition to the senior faculty members listed above, the department added three new Assistant Professors who are scheduled to arrive in autumn. They are Dr. Peng Zhang (computational and applied nanomechanics; Ph.D. University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign), Dr. Michael Renfro (combustion and reacting flows, optical diagnostics; Ph.D. Purdue University) and Dr. Jiong Tang (dynamic systems, controls and mechatronics: Ph.D. Pennsylvania State University). Searches continue for the United Technologies Endowed Chair in Heat Transfer and the United Technologies Endowed Professor in Manufacturing. UNDERGRADUATE TEACHING AND CURRICULUM

Thirty-two undergraduate courses were taught during the academic year. The faculty also taught courses in the Management & Engineering for Manufacturing program. Twelve industrially-sponsored senior design projects were included in the Major Design Experience. The department's computational lab was completely renovated and expanded to handle anticipated increases in undergraduate and graduate enrollments. The ABET accreditation visit occurred in October and was successful.

GRADUATE PROGRAM

Our graduate students were offered 13 courses. There were 116 applications, 84 admissions and 20 acceptances. Five courses were offered in the on-site Master of Engineering Program at Pratt & Whitney. SCHOLARLY ACTIVITY AND RESEARCH

Department faculty members were associated with 47 grants, of which 12 were externally-sponsored senior design projects. Annual expenditures (direct costs of external grants) were approximately $1.42 million. The faculty published 33 full-length journal articles as well as 31 conference papers. One patent was secured. STUDENT RECRUITING AND STUDENT ORGANIZATION ACTIVITIES

Freshman enrollment in Mechanical Engineering for the fall of 2002 is approximately 40, down from 50 at the same time last year. This value does not include any estimate for undecided students, most of whom decide upon a major within the School during their freshman year. The department participated in the Engineering 2000 program for high school sophomores and juniors, as well as the da Vinci program for high school math and science teachers. The student section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) had a membership of 126. This continues to be, by far, the largest student section of any university (public or private) in New England.

22000011--22000022 The Department has continued its efforts to increase enrollment and maintain a high level of research funding. In addition, a special effort was made to evaluate and improve our new undergraduate program by holding a day long, Strategic Planning meeting on the curriculum's “content, continuity and quality.” Our external advisory board made suggestions concerning this topic at their annual meeting as well. CHANGES IN PERSONNEL

Dr. Mei Wei joined the Department in January as an Assistant Professor. Dr Wei received her Ph.D. from the School of Materials Science at the University of New South Wales in Australia in 1998. Then she held postdoctoral positions at Kyoto University in Japan and at Queensland University of Technology in Australia. Her research interests are the synthesis of biomaterials and their reactions with cells. Also, Dr. T. T. Cheng joined the Department as a Research Associate Professor. She received her Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve and is an accomplished electron microscopist. She is working with other faculty to develop research programs on aerospace alloys and thin film devices. Associate Professor Leon Shaw spent the academic year on sabbatical at the Air Force Research Laboratory located on the Wright-Patterson AFB. Professor James Galligan retired, effective June 1st. Jim has been with the Department since 1972 and has an international reputation for his work on dislocation motion in metals and semiconductors. A search has begun to fill his position. In addition, a second search is in progress to hire a person in the fuel cell area. In addition to joining our Department, that person will be associated with the new Connecticut Global Fuel Cell Center at UConn. The Director of Operations for the center, Dr. Nigel Sammes, was given a joint appointment in our department to recognize and encourage his participation in our research programs. UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM

The department began its B.S. program in Metallurgy & Materials Engineering in fall 1999. Increasing our undergraduate enrollment and improving our undergraduate program received special attention this year. Next fall our expected enrollment will be 4 incoming freshman, 11 sophomores and 5 juniors. In order to increase the number of incoming freshman, which has been 3 or 4 students each year, we developed a marketing plan to focus on New England students and on undecided freshman. As part of this effort, Professor Nitin Padture led our program designed to interest primary and secondary school students in materials engineering via University Open Houses, the Connecticut Invention Convention, the Connecticut Science Fair, and the CPTV Family Science Expo. In another initiative, Jim Koch gave his popular presentation on Materials to high school teachers as part of the School of Engineering’s da Vinci program. Both our annual Strategic Planning and our Materials Advisory Board meetings this year focused on how to evaluate and improve our undergraduate curriculum. Recommendations for the curriculum were that we needed a one-year survey course in the sophomore year, a better balance between time spent on processing, structure and properties, as well as fewer required courses in order to give students more flexibility in developing a materials concentration. Our double major program on Materials Engineering had 33 students registered this year, with 18 of these graduating.

GRADUATE PROGRAM

Recruiting full time graduate students was another high priority this year. Professors Mark Aindow and Nitin Padture collaborated to attract top students from distinguished overseas universities. As a result of their efforts, 10 new full-time students joined our Department, which meets the goal established in our Strategic Plan. Total graduate students in the MMAT program this year was 54. Of these, 34 were full time and 20 were part time students. During the year, 4 students graduated with M.S. and 3 with Ph.D. degrees. With regard to recruiting statistics, the percentage of applicants admitted was 35% and the percentage of offers accepted was 60%. RESEARCH

During the past year, Direct Cost spending of external funds was $2.1 million. There were 25 new proposals submitted this year requesting $36 million while grants and contracts awarded were $1.6 million. Currently more than two-thirds of the faculty have at least one major grant from an external agency and there are 18 grants overall. Also, the faculty continue to be active scholars, having published 3 book chapters, 56 refereed journal articles, 38 conference proceedings, and 12 technical reports, while contributing 70 reviews of publications and proposals. In addition, they made 33 contributed presentations at conferences, gave 18 invited talks, and one keynote lecture. With regard to our materials characterization facilities, equipment became operational in a new suite of rooms dedicated to scanning and transmission electron microscopy thanks to the efforts of Associate Professor Mark Aindow. We now have state-of-the-art equipment for detailed structural studies down to nanoscale dimensions. HONORS, AWARDS AND PATENTS

Assistant Professor Pamir Alpay won an NSF Early Career Development (CAREER) Award for his proposal on ferroelectric thin films and Associate Professor Mark Aindow was elected to fellowship of the Institute of Materials in London, UK. Research Professor Martin J. Blackburn won the 2002 ASM International William Hunt Eisenman Award, a major international award that “recognizes unusual achievements in industry in the practical application of materials science and engineering through production and engineering use.” The Department honored Thomas Strangman, Ph.D. ‘78 with its 2002 Outstanding Alumnus Award to recognize his “contributions to the development of thermal barrier coatings and aerospace alloys.” Patent No: 6,355,117 was awarded on March 12, 2002 to Professor-in-Residence Maury Gell and 6 co-inventors for a “Nickel base superalloy single crystal with improved performance in air and hydrogen.” ASM/TMS JOINT STUDENT CHAPTER

The Student Chapter received the ASM International/TMS 2001 Chapter of Excellence Award for technical programming at the February TMS Annual Meeting in Seattle. To continue in this tradition, Chair Michael Pasquariello led the Chapter in an active program that featured 23 events. In addition to helping with nearly all the undergraduate recruiting meetings and providing laboratory tours for visitors, they held pizza lunch meetings, and visited the Forensics Laboratory of the Hartford Travelers Insurance Company. MATERIALS ACADEMIC ADVISORY BOARD

The Advisory Board, led by Dr. Robert Klug from Allegheny Ludlum, held a full day meeting in spring of 2002. They provided suggestions on how to improve our undergraduate curriculum and find summer jobs for our undergraduate students. In addition, they interviewed our undergraduate and graduate students to obtain their recommendations for changes that would improve our programs.

The Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) is housed in the School of Engineering at the University of Connecticut. ATI originated out of a major restructuring and a shift in focus from the former Precision Manufacturing Institute (PMI) in the School of Engineering, and its metamorphosis has completed with the merger between ATI and the Booth Research Center to jointly form the T. L. Booth Engineering Center for Advanced Technology, effective June 2002. The primary mission of ATI is to help revitalize the Connecticut technology-based economy through its core research activities, applying its resources to support existing industries, attract new industries to the area, and to encourage entrepreneurial ventures. ATI promotes and facilitates applied interdisciplinary research and development in diverse engineering fields. The core research strengths within ATI are: Thermo-mechanical processing of materials Precision design and machining Engineering simulation Opto-electronics Energy systems

In addition, ATI is a key outreach arm of the School of Engineering to industry, and facilitates University/industry collaboration. Our vision for the future is to build on our unique focus and strength in proactive industrial involvement in our research programs to position ATI as a key contributor to technological advancement in Connecticut. As part of its central mission, ATI supports various educational and professional training programs targeting practicing engineers in Connecticut industries. As an integral part of its philosophy to aid existing industries, and to attract new industries to the State of Connecticut, ATI will encourage, insofar as it is able, the development of new technologies and products that can generate new business for existing companies and lead to the development of spin-off ventures. PERSONNEL

By appointment of the Dean of Engineering, Dr. Kazem Kazerounian served Director of ATI until December 2001. From December 2001 until June 2002, Dr. Ian Greenshields, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, served as Interim Director. Ms. Laurie Macfarlane served as Business Manager and Program Manager for the Master of Engineering degree program. Laurie brings significant administrative and managerial skills gained over a period of six years in various public and private institutions. Laurie received her M.S. degree in Management from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Hartford in August 2001.

Ms. B.J. McLaughlin joined ATI in August 2001 as and Administrative Services Specialist. B.J. brings to her job a wide range of accounting skills developed in academia prior to joining the University of Connecticut. PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

ATI administers laboratory space primarily on the Depot Campus. Its Longley Facility contains the bulk of ATI laboratories, including the Grinding Center, the nanoparticle facility, the scanning electron microscopy facility, as well as other facilities and administrative and research office suites. Its Merritt Facility includes the Clean Room in addition to research office space. ATI also administers research activities in the main Storrs campus. OUTREACH

As part of the educational outreach of the Institute, ATI has initiated and is managing the on-site Master of Engineering degree program at United Technologies Corporation. The program started in fall 1999 with students concentrating in Mechanical Engineering and Metallurgy and Materials Engineering. In the fall 2001 and spring 2002, 87 students registered for a total of eight courses in those concentrations. In spring 2002, the on-site Master of Engineering degree program, with concentration in Chemical Engineering, continued its activities at UTC Fuel Cells with a total of 14 students enrolled in Transfer Operations. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

ATI currently supports research efforts in the following areas: Image sensing with optical outputs; Optical security systems; Opto-electronics; Development of advanced coating techniques; Grinding and precision design and machining; Materials testing; Manufacturing scheduling; and Power management.

The total research expenditure at ATI during the year exceeded $750,000. ATI continues a three-year research and development contract worth $1.5 million to provide R&D work to General Electric-Industrial Systems. Currently, there are eight faculty researchers from the School of Engineering at UConn who are involved in this exciting initiative. MERGER

At the recommendation of Dean Amir Faghri, who recognized their complementary activities and the strength that could be gained by stronger ties between the centers, ATI and BRC commenced merger discussions in October 2001. As a result of these discussions, a new Center of Excellence in Engineering was born, effective June 2002. This resultant new center (the T.L. Booth Engineering Center for Advanced Technology) represents the logical extension of the changes that have transpired at ATI and BRC, and it is expected that the new Center will be even more successful than its predecessors.

The Booth Research Center provides a physical and intellectual environment for interdisciplinary computer-oriented research and applications to meet the information technology challenges of the future. BRC has actively supported information technology research through cost-sharing, technical lab support, and investments in new research areas (startup packages, laboratory enhancements, etc.). The highlights of BRC activities for the 2001-2002 academic year include: we aggressively pursued and supported group and center-wide proposals; funded research continued to be strong; we established a new GRID/Cluster-Based Computing laboratory for advanced scientific computing; and we have been working on the merger of BRC with the Advanced Technology Institute into a new center called the T. L. Booth Engineering Center for Advanced Technology (BECAT). During this academic year, Dr. Peter Luh, Director of BRC and professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE), was on sabbatical leave. Associate Director Ian Greenshields served as Interim Director for Academic Affairs until December and was then appointed Associate Dean for the School of Engineering. At that time, Professor Eugene Santos, Jr, (CSE) was appointed Interim Director, and he will assume the Associate Director position upon Peter Luh’s return. RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS

BRC is the primary research center on campus for activities involving information technologies. BRC uses its expertise and resources to support interdisciplinary research activities involving not only engineering departments, but also projects relating to psychology, physics, geophysics and mathematics.

BRC Research Laboratories. BRC is organized into 18 research laboratories in the following major thrust areas: Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence; Distributed Computation and Information Systems; Intelligent Systems for Manufacturing Process Control; System Optimization in Centralized or Distributed Environments; Signal, Data, Image Processing and Systems; Optical Computing and Analog/Mixed Signal Computing; Biomedical Computing; Civil Engineering Computing; and Psychology Computing. In 2001-2002, the Center had approximately 120 participants, and enjoyed strong funded research activities with 63 externally funded grants and contracts totaling about $5.68 million. BRC faculty member, Professor Yaakov Bar-Shalom (ECE), was honored with a Distinguished Professor Award.

Grid Computing Research. This year we began to establish a brand new research project and facility in support of Grid computing for large-scale scientific computation. The main aspiration of the BRC Grid project is to provide (general purpose) distributed supercomputing power based on the available compute resources. Using GRID middleware (OS) on top of the commodity components in BRC, we can provide a super computing facility at no cost. This attempt to have super computing power available became feasible due to the current advances in GRID middleware. Using GRID middleware, a highly functional collection of interconnected computers can be viewed as a single virtual system. In this context, we can aggregate substantial compute power to tackle large-scale problems that cannot be solved on a single workstation, or to solve problems faster in a more cost effective manner. In other words, we are interested in providing a substantial compute power to the research community within the

School of Engineering (SoE) based on the existing resources. Currently, the BRC Cluster/GRID is up and running and consists of PCs running Linux interconnected through 100MB fast-ethernet switches and other networking plus infra- structure devices. Our next stage will be setting user accounts and testing the GRID in a compute intensive production environment. FACILITIES AND SERVICES

BRC GRID Project. As we mentioned above, we have implemented a Grid computing system to help BRC, SoE and UConn researchers to explore advanced large-scale scientific computational problems on cluster-based systems that can offer super-computing-level power.

BRC Computing Laboratory. The new BRC Computer Lab was opened in BRC Room 60 with four new powerful Dell OptiPlex GX400 computers, two new Sun Blade 100 workstations and seven Sun Ultra 10 workstations, which provided a nice environment for the researchers. This laboratory is intended to offer an environment for new exploratory research that PIs wish to pursue. We are encouraging researchers to pursue new ideas by providing the facilities for conducting preliminary experiments.

Service and Support. The BRC technical staff continues to work closely with the Engineering Computing Services and the departmental technical staff on support for BRC members inside and outside the School of Engineering. The main activities included:

1. Regular desktop workstation support including computer installation, upgrades and problem solving in BRC affiliated offices and labs.

2. BRC Computer Lab support, including installation of hardware and software, handling software licensing, and printer maintenance.

3. Installation or maintenance assistance of some major research software applications and license servers on Unix systems, including Cadence, Silvaco, Matlab, Fluent and ArcInfo, etc.

4. Installation and maintenance of Solaris and Linux systems in BRC member labs outside the Engineering School (e.g., Psychology Department) and providing advice and assistance on non-standard Unix systems (Digital Unix, HPUX).

5. Installation and maintenance of the ftp submission system of IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation.

6. Investigations of computer security problems, including securing Windows/Unix/Linux systems and removing computer viruses.

7. Helping some BRC faculty members in selecting and purchasing new computer equipment. 8. BRC website maintenance.

BECAT

This year we spent significant time in preparing for the merger of BRC and ATI into BECAT. Our goal was to ensure that the merger carefully preserved the missions and capabilities of both original centers while enriching and strengthening the possibilities and potentials that such a unification could bring about. We established a steering committee consisting of PIs from both centers in order to establish a new mission statement and objectives for BECAT. It was a primary concern of the committee that we ensure the new center not disadvantage faculty who were previously associated with any of the prior centers. Indeed, we saw the new center as providing the School with an excellent opportunity to expand upon the already superb research base present in the old centers, and to move forward towards a center of excellence in all areas of engineering, encompassing not only pure research but also applied research in a variety of engineering disciplines. The new Center began operations effective the first week of June. To that end, ATI administrative staff member Ms. B. J. McLaughlin moved from Engineering II to space in BECAT. Ms. Sandi Lizee and

Ms. Elizabeth Moore remain in their original offices in BECAT. Neither ATI nor BRC faculty should see any change in the mode of operations they are accustomed to in the new center. STAFFING UPDATE

22000011––22000022

During the 2001-02 academic year, the School of Engineering Undergraduate Program continued to grow at a rate much greater than the national growth rate. The fall 2001 entering class of 348 students was a growth of 94% compared to the fall 1997 entering class. The undergraduate student body has increased by 35% during this same period. Our Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science programs enrollment continue to show the largest growth. The quality of the entering engineering students continues to improve with an average SAT score of 1265, which is approximately 135 points higher than the average UConn entering student’s SAT score. UConn has an excellent Honors Program and, considering all 17 schools and colleges, the average percentage of honors students in each unit is 7.7% and the School of Engineering has 14% of our undergraduate population in the Honors Program. This is just one indication of our strong advising program. Graduation rate from the School of Engineering is approximately 60% compared to the University’s graduation rate of 68%. The School of Engineering was able to award more than $650,000 in scholarships to entering and continuing students this year. Additionally, the Assistant Dean assumed responsibility for the School’s Scholarship Donor’s Program. The number of admitted transfer students has more than doubled this year due to outreach efforts at the 12 community or technical colleges. The Undergraduate Programs Office hired a new Diversity Director and a Program Assistant this year. OUTREACH/RECRUITMENT

The School of Engineering has various outreach/recruiting initiatives. In addition to the highly successful fall Open House and spring Visitation Day involving faculty, students and staff; the School of Engineering continued to conduct outreach to students and teachers in middle school through high school. Our largest event this year was hosting Connecticut’s Invention Convention for the fourth year. Over 650 K-12th grade students brought their inventions to Gampel Pavilion to be judged by more than 150 professionals and to be seen by more than 2,500 spectators. Many student chapters participate in recruitment and outreach. Our next largest event was a student chapter, Phi Sigma Rho, hosting and conducting workshops for 500 Girl Scouts. This one-day workshop consisted of many student led engineering and science projects that resulted in the girls earning Girl Scout badges. The da Vinci Project, a one-week residential program for middle and high school mathematics and science teachers, continues to be very popular. In August 2002, there are 40 teachers attending, up from 23 teachers last year. Our one-week Engineering 2000 residential program which allows participating high school juniors and seniors to explore engineering disciplines via a variety of hands-on experiments, and to focus in a particular engineering discipline continues to be popular. High school math and science teachers assist in the selection process. This year, in addition to the 80 students attending, we had a waiting list of 20 students. Thirty percent of our high school participants are female, which has helped to increase the number of undergraduate women in engineering to 16%. The Assistant Dean’s involvement as a member of the College of Technology advisory board has resulted in a significant increase of transfer students from this 12-campus state system. Diversity and gender recruitment are the responsibility of all faculty, staff and students. Our new Diversity Director, Kevin McLaughlin, is the primary contact and coordinator of our Engineering Diversity activities. Our Pre-Engineering Program (PEP) for 7th, 8th and 9th grade under-represented students from inner-city school districts, has grown from 47 students to 60 students this year. A one-

day Multiply Your Options (MYO) workshop for 8th grade girls had over 245 students and 40 teachers attended the 34 different workshops. Each workshop presenter was a female professional in an area of science or engineering. The School of Engineering conducts a five-week residential summer BRIDGE program for admitted underrepresented minorities and women. The purpose of this summer program is to insure that each participant receives and understands the basic tenets of chemistry, computer programming, mathematics, and physics. Thirty students completed the college prep program and the summer 2002 BRIDGE enrollment is 44 students, an increase of 46%. Our student chapters are very involved in recruiting and retention efforts. The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) student chapters attend recruiting activities in Bridgeport and Waterbury. Members of SWE visited elementary schools and conducted age-appropriate engineering projects. SHPE members hosted a one-day Eastern Technical & Career Conference – Pre-College Event at UConn, which was attended by students from 10 Connecticut high schools. The primary objective of this conference was to promote engineering and to develop a communication network with students and teachers from the 10 high schools. Members of the NSBE sponsored weekly study sessions, conducted biweekly either technical seminars or current event discussions for all students, raised scholarship funds and hosted an NSBE awards banquet. SCHOLARSHIPS AND SCHOLARS

The University of Connecticut continues to offer full or partial scholarships to qualified entering students. Due to the highly successful fundraising of Dean Amir Faghri, not only does the School of Engineering have 17 new named and endowed chair professorships, but the School has sufficient funding to offer more than $290,000 to recruit over 120 highly qualified students this fall. For the Academic Year 2002-2003, we have admitted an unprecedented number (34) of valedictorian and salutatorians to the School of Engineering. At our annual awards banquet, 191 continuing students where awarded more than $395,000 in scholarships. Additionally, 17 engineering students received the Connecticut Infotech Scholarship and 26 students received the Connecticut Innovations Technology Scholarships this academic year. Ninety-eight undergraduate students are members of one of the many student honor societies, over 190 students are on the Dean’s list, 31 seniors received the National Collegiate Engineering Award for having a minimum of 3.7 cumulative GPA, 40 seniors were inducted into Who’s Who Among American Colleges and Universities for having a minimum of 3.6 cumulative GPA, and 30 juniors were inducted as All American Scholars for having a minimum of 3.5 cumulative GPA. TUTORING AND ADVISING

The School of Engineering continued the expanded tutoring program instituted last year and provided supplemental instruction in chemistry twice a week. Tutoring will continue for lower division courses in mathematics, chemistry, computer programming and physics in a new location this coming year. The new location will allow each tutoring session to take place in its own separate area rather than in a shared common area. Additionally, four student honor society offices will be located in the same area so they can provide tutoring for upper division courses. Several professional student chapters conduct tutoring in their related topics. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES

The School of Engineering invested three years in preparation for the program accreditation assessments. We conducted professional development workshops utilizing internal and external presenters, invited two teams of visitors to assess six undergraduate engineering programs and provide feedback on each curriculum. We participated in two major EBI surveys in preparation for the ABET/CSAB visit. The accreditation visit went very well. As a result of this visit, our computer science program was slightly revised. Additionally, as a result of our self-assessment and continuous

improvement process, we revised the following four-year programs: Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering. The faculty approved two new minors this year: Bioinformatics and Information Technology, bringing our total available minors to five. The School of Engineering has approved and will establish a new undergraduate advising and resource center. The functions of this center are: (1) to provide peer course advising and mentoring to undergraduate students and (2) to provide tutoring and counseling. This does not replace faculty advisors but enables faculty advisors to mentor and to professionally guide the student to emerging or traditional technologies.
