`Academic Administration
`
`1998-2006 Dean, School of Engineering, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT.
`
`The School of Engineering at the University of Connecticut is the largest and the most comprehensive
`public engineering program in New England, with over 1,600 undergraduate students and 500 graduate
`students enrolled in six engineering departments. The School of Engineering offers 12 undergraduate
`and 10 graduate degree programs, and maintains more than 120 full-time faculty, of whom 43 are
`Fellows of leading professional societies and 35 hold prestigious editorial positions with top scientific
`journals. U.S. News & World Report named the University of Connecticut the number one public
`university in New England (1999-2006).
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Major School Initiatives
`
`During his tenure as Dean (1998-2006), the School of Engineering has achieved the following milestones:
`
`• Significant External Funding – During the last University’s Capital Campaign (1998-2004), the
`School of Engineering pursued an aggressive campaign to secure external funding. Upon completion of
`Capital Campaign (June 2004) the school of engineering has raised $157 million cash and in-kind gifts
`toward this campaign. The University’s Capital Campaign for the entire university – including the
`schools of medicine, dentistry and law – targeted $300 million for the period of 1998-2004. The
`University raised more than $471 million, of which the Engineering School’s portion constitutes 30%
`of the total. The $157 million sum represents 670% of the School of Engineering’s original target sum.
`• Establishment of Named Endowed Professorships – An aggressive fundraising plan was established
`in 1998 that provided support for 17 chaired and named endowed professorships:
`
`
` Eleven endowed chairs - $1 million each;
` Six endowed professorships ranging from $500,000 to $750,000 each.
`• New Facilities & Major Renovations – He has been actively involved in obtaining state and federal
`funds to expand and improve the quality of Engineering facilities significantly:
`
`
`
`
`Information Technologies Engineering Building – A new, 100,000 sq. ft. facility completed in
`April 2003 housing research and teaching labs, conference rooms, faculty and support offices,
`classrooms, and a 350-seat auditorium. The Information Technologies Engineering building was
`constructed with $32 million from the state to house the Electrical & Computer Engineering and
`Computer Science & Engineering departments. Furthermore, a new supercomputer facility was
`added to ITE building in 2005.
`
` Connecticut Global Fuel Cell Center (recently renamed as the Center for Clean Energy
`Engineering) – A new 16,000 sq. ft. facility constructed with support from the U.S. Department

`Curriculum Vitae
`of Commerce Economic Development Administration was completed in November 2002. The
`facility focuses on research and development of fuel cell technology for government and
`commercial applications.
` Booth Research Center Facility - A new facility to support the School of Engineering computer
`support needs was completed in 2001. The facility comprises state-of-the-art computer facilities,
`networking hardware, research labs, support offices, and graduate student offices.
` Renovation - In addition to the above three new facilities, major renovations were executed in the
`four existing engineering buildings, including painting, carpeting, air conditioning, and installation
`of new furniture in 100 faculty/staff offices.
`• Connecticut Global Fuel Cell Center – A major new research center was established in the School of
`Engineering in 2001 which focuses on research and development of fuel cell science and technology.
`This was supported by an $16 million partnership with state, federal and private sector collaborators
`and entails:
`
` Six chair professorships
` New 16,000 square foot building
` Six million dollars in U.S. Congressional earmarks
`The Center was recently renamed as the Center for Clean Energy Engineering
`• Two Departments Merged – As an outgrowth of the School of Engineering’s Strategic Plan, the
`departments of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering was merged to form a new
`Department of Chemical, Materials & Biomolecular Engineering effective July 1, 2006. Initiation and
`growth of a powerful and dynamic new department will advance the national and international
`prominence of two of our most important and valued programs, that because of their small size in terms
`of both faculty and students, they had not received the university, national or international recognition
`they deserved. An important component of the merged department is a new, joint offering in
`Biomolecular Engineering. It is expected that top students will be excited by, and attracted to, new and
`relevant emerging areas of science and technology. The merger of these two departments is expected to
`dramatically increase the size, quality and diversity of undergraduate and graduate programs, and also
`significantly increase research opportunities in energy, biotechnology, nanotechnology and materials –
`overlapping research focuses of current faculty in both departments. Six new faculty positions,
`including two chair endowed professorships, were created in this new department.
`• Center for Optics, Sensing and Tracking in Homeland Security – This center was established in
`2003 in the School of Engineering with seed support from DARPA. It comprises a core research team
`of faculty members from the engineering disciplines and other schools who are actively involved in
`various aspects of homeland security. Research interests range from bio-terrorism detection to
`information security and public policy. In concert with the creation of the center, a major international
`conference on Advanced Technologies for Homeland Security was organized and held on September
`25-26, 2003 (450 attendees) and August 12-13, 2004 (350 attendees).
`• Bioinformatics and Biocomputing Institute – This institute unites researchers working in the medical
`and biosciences fields with computational researchers. Founded with initial partial support from the
`National Institutes of Health, it brings together faculty from the School of Engineering, Department of
`Molecular and Cell Biology, the Department of Statistics and the UConn Health Center with the
`objective of helping to enhance biomedical and biological research using advanced computing
`techniques.
`• Expanded Educational Programs – The educational degree offerings have been increased from 16 to
`22 distinct major programs during my term as dean, in strategic disciplines of national importance.
`Most of these new programs were at the undergraduate level in areas for which we already had a
`graduate program in place. These include Biomedical Engineering, Environmental Engineering,
`Engineering Physics and Materials Engineering.
`• Diversity Program – Fourteen new female engineering faculty members were hired during my term as
`dean. Furthermore, in an effort to attract and retain a greater number of women and underrepresented
`students in the engineering disciplines, the School maintains three distinct, all-expenses-paid programs:

`Curriculum Vitae
`
` BRIDGE – This six-week summer readiness program, which proceeds the freshman year, is geared
`toward women and underrepresented populations enrolled in engineering.
` Pre-Engineering – This year-long Saturday math and science enrichment program introduces
`students in grades 7-9 to engineering; approximately 70 students participate yearly.
` Multiply Your Options – One-day conference pairing approximately 200 female 8th grade students
`yearly with women professionals in science, math, engineering and technology.
`
`
`Because of the programs mentioned above, as well as significant numbers of scholarships added , the
`School of Engineering has successfully increased female undergraduate enrollment by 41.8%, African
`American students by 60% and Hispanic students by 41% during my term as dean.
`• Significant Enrollment Increase – From 1998-2006, the School of Engineering realized a 106%
`increase in total enrollment with an 100-point increase in average SAT score. Also, 35 high school
`valedictorians and salutatorians were admitted to the UConn School of Engineering in fall 2005
`compared to seven in 1998. Among the programs the School of Engineering launched to involve
`Connecticut school children and teachers in the engineering disciplines are:
`
`
`
` Engineering 2000 – One week long residential summer camp for promising high school juniors
`and seniors, allowing 80 participants yearly to examine core engineering and technological
`concepts. Major financial support for participating students makes this experience virtually cost-
`free for them.
` Connecticut Invention Convention – Host and sponsor, for five consecutive years, this state-wide
`K-12 competition held at Gampel Pavilion on the Storrs campus, which attracts an annual
`attendance of 2,000 including 650 elementary through high school students.
` da Vinci Workshop – Five-day residential, short course introducing New England (primarily
`Connecticut) middle and high school math/science teachers to engineering and technology concepts
`and supplying them with academic units that may be easily infused into the preexisting curricula.
` Scholarships – The School of Engineering has also tripled the number of academic scholarships
`awarded in the last five years. In 2004, the School of Engineering offered more than 300 merit-
`based scholarships funded by alumni, corporate, state and federal sources.
` Marketing – The School developed an aggressive record of marketing materials, including four-
`color twice-yearly news magazines and high quality professional brochures for undergraduate and
`graduate recruitment as well as a suite of professional websites
`• Learning Mentorship Program – A generous donation by a distinguished alumnus in 2003 allowed
`the School to launch an Engineering Learning Mentorship program with the objective of combating
`attrition among undergraduate students. The problem of attrition is common in engineering programs
`across the country and is particularly high among members of underrepresented populations, including
`women and minorities. Central to the Learning Mentorship program is a corps of senior engineering
`students who provide academic mentoring in fundamental coursework to target freshman and
`sophomore students. The program also invites peer advisors/graduate students who will help guide
`participating students through proper sequencing of course work, scheduling, and development of good
`study skills, time management and the like.
`• Fiscal Assessment of School Budgetary Structure - Carefully defined, strategic financial planning
`has enabled the School of Engineering to dramatically improve its support of faculty despite budget
`cuts. Engaged in significant organizational and budgeting change, with collaborative decision making
`to address reduction in state support for operating budget, reallocated funds were used to address
`academic priorities. Initiatives include:
`
`
`
` 15 Faculty searches during 2005-2006
` Hiring of 24 new faculty members between 2002 and 2003, including four chair professorships
` Doubled the number of graduate teaching assistants
` Doubling of travel support for faculty
` Providing student support, as well as professional editing support, for faculty who seek to write
`books

`
` Major renovations to all engineering facilities
` Creation of 17 new endowed and chair professorships during 1998-2006
`Initiation of new graduate fellowships for qualified UConn undergraduate engineering students
`
`(with 3.5 GPA) who elect to pursue master’s studies at UConn
` Significant enhancement of computer hardware and software resources valued at over $100 million
`• Faculty and Staff Recognition – New awards were established to recognize outstanding research,
`teaching and service among faculty and staff:
`
` Distinguished Engineering Professor Award (maximum of six at any time) – entails a $10,000
`annual professional grant per faculty for each of three years.
` Outstanding Junior Faculty Award (two each year) – entails a $2,000 cash award and $5,000 grant
`for professional development.
` Outstanding Teaching Faculty Award (one each year) – entails a $2,000 cash award and a $5,000
`grant for professional development.
` Outstanding Staff Award – (one each year) entails a $2,000 cash award.
` Outstanding Engineering Doctoral Student Award (one each year) – entails a $2,000 award each, to
`the student and his/her advisor.
` Outstanding Engineering Master’s Student Award (one each year) – entails a $1,000 award each, to
`the student and his/her advisor.
`• Alumni Relations and Cultivation Activity - The Academy of Distinguished Engineers, launched in
`2003, recognizes and honors our most exceptional alumni, who will be elected and inducted into the
`Engineers Hall of Fame each year. In creating this Academy, the selection procedures and detailed
`governing bylaws were developed. From 2003- 2006, 75 fellows were selected, and inducted during
`the School of Engineering Annual Awards banquet before an audience of more than 600 UConn School
`of Engineering alumni, faculty, students, corporate leaders and guests.
`
`Furthermore, alumni development initiatives have included a series of breakfasts, dinners and/or
`receptions in key cities (Hartford, CT; Stamford, CT; Washington, DC; Boston, MA, New York, NY,
`Florida, San Francisco, CA and Los Angeles, CA) as well as production of a high quality, semi-annual
`four-color alumni newsletter. Other activities centered on creation of a list of 350+ top alumni
`prospects who have the resources to support significant gifts to the School. During my term as dean,
`our Alumni Annual fund has realized a 440% increase in dollar donations and a 556% increase in
`number of donors.
`• University/Industry - The School of Engineering developed a new model for university/industry
`partnerships that accounts for issues of intellectual properties. The model developed so that intellectual
`property, including technology rights, royalties, and licenses, is pursued with greater interest among
`faculty. For example, major corporations such as UTC ($4 million) and GE ($11 million) jointly with
`the School of Business have already invested in this endeavor.
`• Practice-Oriented Master’s Degree – The School developed an on-site, practice-oriented Master of
`Engineering degree program for corporations, including the possibility of distance education.
`• Accreditation – The Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology (ABET) and the Computer
`Science Accreditation Board (CSAB) review in September 2001 yielded full six years of accreditation
`in all six reviewed programs.
