  1. Workshop: Maximizing your fundraising efforts through your student teams in the College of Engineering Wednesday, June 18, 2014 Rebecca Macdonald, Swanson Director of Student Project Teams at Cornell University Debbie Schroeder, Sr. Director of Development, The Ohio State University

  2. The Ohio State University • Largest, most comprehensive public research university in the country • 63,058students enrolled • Over 6,000 (9%) international students • 14 colleges on one campus • Ranked 18th among the nation’s best public universities • 16 graduate programs ranked in top 10 • Ohio State ranks 7th in public-university research expenditures programs • Ranked 1stamong all American universities for private industry sponsored research

  3. College of Engineering Quick facts • 11 departments • 6118 undergraduate students • Over 25 student project teams • Six year graduation rate: 78% • Nearly $156M in research awards • 13% minority, 16.8% female, 5.9% international students • engineering.osu.edu

  4. Center for Automotive Research • Preeminent research center in sustainable and safe mobility in the United States 1. To provide world-class education for the next generation of automotive industry leaders, through on-campus learning and continuous professional development 2. To be a catalyst for innovation in automotive technology, through collaborative, interdisciplinary research 3. To support economic development, regionally and nationally Mission

  5. CAR Timeline Honda, TRC, State of Ohio and OSU establish Transportation Research Endowment Program (TREP) 1989 TREP Charter leads to establishment of dedicated Center for Automotive Research CAR officially established by Office of Research and Office of Academic Affairs as Interdisciplinary Research Center 1991 1994 CAR moves to 930 Kinnear Road Building 1996 CAR merges with Center for Intelligent Transportation Research 1999 CAR Industrial Consortium established 2008 SMART@CAR Consortium established CAR selected as recipient of multiple Ohio Third Frontier investments: 2009, 2010, 2011 2011 CAR selected as site of DOE Graduate Automotive Technology Education Center of Excellence: 1998, 2005, 2011

  6. CAR today • The largest university-based interdisciplinary automotive research centerin the U.S. • A national thought leader in research related to Sustainable Mobility and Automotive Technologies. • A leader in novel collaborative relationships with industry, government and non-profit partners. • Increasingly engaged in economic development initiatives with TechColumbus, Columbus 2020 and ODOD. • In the past five years engaged 45 companies and 12 state and federal government agencies resulting in R&D expenditures of over $37M. • In fiscal year 2013 saw the participation of 92 graduate students, hundreds of undergraduate students, over 30 faculty and over 30 staff members.

  7. Human resources • 92 Graduate Students • 32 Student Assistants • 15 Visiting Scholars • 9 Primary Faculty • 23 Secondary Faculty • 18 Research Staff • 5 Post Doctoral Fellows • 7 Facility Support Staff • 10 Administrative Staff Total: 211 Associates The center also provided facilities and support, in collaboration with the College and MAE department, for 6 student project teams consisting of over 200 active undergraduate students and 45 FIRST (robotics project) high school students.

  8. Systems overview of research areas

  9. Public-private partnerships at CAR • CAR maintains 3 consortia with industry partners • CAR Industrial Consortium (1999-present) • Focusing on automotive industry, advanced propulsion, intelligent vehicles, safety • SMART@CAR Consortium (2008-present) • Focusing on electric utility industry and vehicle-grid interactions and conducts sponsored research program with many major automotive manufacturers and suppliers. CAR also offers engineering services and testing to industry partners, leveraging its experimental facilities. • CAR has been awarded 4 Ohio Third Frontier (OTF) technology commercialization projects • CAR has served as an incubator and spin-off for two companies currently housed at TechColumbus: PlugSmart, and CAR Technologies LLC • Recognition: 2011 Innovation Award for Outstanding Technology Team from TechColumbus

  10. student engagement with industry partners, leveraging government funding One example: • U.S. DoE Graduate Automotive Technology Education GATE Center of Excellence, Energy Efficient Vehicle for Sustainable Mobility, in partnership with automotive industry: • Goal: to train a future workforce of automotive engineering professionals to overcome technology barriers preventing the development and production of cost-effective, high-efficiency vehicles for the United States market. • Sponsored by US DOE, since 1998 • Ohio State only university to have been selected in each of three competitions • Industry partners cost share and leverage DOE Fellowship funds • Program value: $3.5M over 5 years, 2011-2016 • Multiple faculty and research staff involved in partnerships expand opportunities for students • Opens opportunities for skilled internships with partners • Programs develop highly sought-after students for careers in product engineering and R&D organizations

  11. MOTORSPORTS & STUDENT PROJECTS Undergraduate students, graduate students • Over 200 students participating at any one time • Anyone can join! • All majors, backgrounds, skill levels, and degrees of experience Compete on one of six teams: Baja SAE, Venturi Buckeye Bullet, Buckeye Current, Formula SAE, OSU EcoCAR, Supermileage SAE • Students apply research and classroom concepts • Learn hands-on skills for designing, fabricating, racing, managing, and marketing competition vehicles • Some tools used: machine shop, engine testing, battery testing, computer aided design http://car.osu.edu/student-teams

  12. Baja SAE Electric Motorcycle Formula SAE OSU EcoCAR Venturi Buckeye Bullet

  13. Motorsports FY 2013 Accomplishments • Formation of a Women in Engineering-affiliated Supermileage SAE team • Involvement of ten teams of students through senior capstone design from mechanical, electrical, and computer science • Involvement of 100’s of students in experiential learning • Supported the research of 14 graduate students • Significant public relations and community outreach activities

  14. Center for automotive research Tomorrow’s university will be different than today’s. Only those who thrive in multiple dimensions, not just research or traditional education, will succeed.
