Strategic Questions Where can we lead the world? Can we define the Engineering College of the 21 st Century? Positioning the College to leverage university investments from Discovery Themes Positioning the College to shape and drive state, federal and industry priorities Recruiting and retaining the best
3
Strategic Answers Attract world-class scholars and students Support through novel external funding streams Build on OSU strengths and Battelle/industry partnerships Manage challenges
4
Opportunities New national research priorities Growing cross-college and cross-institutional collaborations Proposal Development Center Faculty demographics Current Landscape Strengths Alignment with Discovery Themes Alignment with state and federal priorities Industry partnerships Weaknesses Not recognized as a national leader o Low NAE membership o No Top 10-ranked departments Challenges Limited infrastructure in growth areas Diversity Undergraduate growth
