      The missions of the College of Engineering are to: Offer quality undergraduate programs that stress the fundamentals of engineering and its practice. Prepare graduates for an engineering career, advanced studies, or other professional paths. Provide quality graduate programs for students seeking strong research experiences in preparation for a professional, academic, or research career; as well as quality flexible graduate programs for students seeking professional enhancement. Pursue basic and applied research to generate new knowledge and create technical solutions to society's challenges. Serve the broader educational and professional engineering community. Vision: Excelling as a national leader in engineering education and research. Strategic Goals of the College of Engineering: 6. Pursue targeted areas of opportunity for the college. As an engineering college that is increasing its national visibility, we can have the greatest impact by focusing our limited faculty and funding resources in selected niche areas that exploit our current or potential strengths and have a significant impact on the nation. Benchmarks by 2012: Identify two or more areas of opportunity and obtain greater than $1M in research funds and/or establish academic offerings in those areas. Strategies include: Hold a series of summits at TTU over the next two years in areas of significant national importance. Invite speakers/panelists that include politicians, funding agency representatives, National Academy members, technical experts, and others to share their view of research and workforce needs in these areas. Identify topical areas for summits through a faculty proposal process coordinated by the Strategic Directions Committee. Start with a summit in the area of energy. Elucidate niche areas of opportunity by assessing the synergy that results between national needs and faculty interests. Invest in the resulting areas of opportunity t

    Through the summer Study Abroad program, students take classes from UNL faculty in Brazil, France, Italy or China and receive credit for special courses not available during the regular school year, such as Portuguese and the History of Science and Technology. Participants also work on independent study projects related to their majors and spend one week sightseeing and learning the country's culture. They can also take Engineering Technical Electives and get ahead in ther degree.

    Priorities Education: To prepare our graduates to become leaders in a profession dominated by globalization, our students will have increasing opportunities for international experiences. Academic opportunities involving biology will be provided in all majors and programs, undergraduate and graduate, in recognition of the vital role played by biological science and technology in, for example, health care, the food supply, industrial processing, energy development, and environmental management. Priorities: Infrastructure We will employ the most advanced collaborative information technologies and business practices to best position ourselves to take advantage of new opportunities and to increase our operational efficiency.

  • Partnerships Iowa State continuing educators have recognized the opportunities for developing education in partnership with other institutions and businesses. For example, Iowa State is a participant in the Great Plains Interactive Distance Education Alliance (GPIDEA), currently providing degree programs in Family Financial Planning and Gerontology in partnership with 10 other universities. This partnership has become a model for other University departments who are exploring alliances for joint development of programs. The Iowa Regents institutions also partner in providing continuing education content for programs like the dual degree program that culminates in a master’s in engineering from Iowa State and an MBS from the University of Iowa. The institutions maintain a shared distance education web site. The Regent’s Distance Education Strategic Plan emphasizes cooperation in marketing, administration, content development, and technical support for programs delivered by the institutions it governs.
