Visionary leadership for faculty excellence in research, teaching, and engagement.

As a new Dean in 2014, led all constituents of the UTSA College of Engineering (COE) to create a 5-year plan (http://engineering.utsa.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/SUM15-COE-5-year-plan-817.pdf). The college units used this 5-year plan to create a workload policy that reflects our values (http://engineering.utsa.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/UTSA-CoE-WorkLoad-Policy-Sept-2015.pdf) and annual evaluations that are linked to measures that support our goals. The College emphasizes excellence in research to grow new knowledge and support the next generation of engineering experts, excellence in teaching to increase student learning, and highly engaged faculty, students, and staff who support one another and impact the university, city, and wide-spread professional circles of influence. Several specific initiatives, and successes, grew from the 5-year plan as described below. Research – 40% increase COE R&D expenditures from FY 15-17 ($10.3M to $14.4M).

Annual COE Research Day to learn about College research and form new teams, Voluntary college matches to large grant proposals with graduate student support, $250k Award for researchers achieving this level of expenditures in a given year, Distinguished Chairs and Professors Council, New Faculty Mentorship program with that partners successful NSF CAREER awardees, Centers and Institutes create by-laws, align budgets with faculty and research

enhancement, increase visibility, and submit large collaborative grants, Graduate student recruitment processes created using re-aligned faculty roles, Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA) awards support research areas, and Supplemental Graduate Research Assistantship awards for competitive new recruits.

Teaching – 20% increase in PhD enrollments (153 to 184), 17% reduction in mean-years-to-degree for Masters students (2.3 to 1.9 years), 14% increase in 6-year undergraduate graduation rates, and 50% increase in the number of Bachelors degrees awarded since 2014

EAB (https://www.eab.com/about-us) for data analytics of student success measures, Education and Engineering faculty partner to redesign courses, Pre-test students in key courses and focus tutoring sessions to increase success,

Faculty and peer mentoring programs to build inclusive and nurturing environment, Optimize curriculum maps to minimize adjunct faculty and increase GTA support, & Create common tests and faculty learning community for core courses with the highest

correlation with graduation rates.

Engagement – first-year retention rates increased 7% since 2016, # students completing internships increased 70% since 2014, # tenure-track faculty increased from 65 to 86 since 2014 For student engagement, a Student Success Center (http://engineering.utsa.edu/ssc/) was centrally located and resourced to drive an increase in student retention, graduation, and engagement. The Center includes programs such as:

placement and mentoring of students in internships and cooperative education, international experiences through study abroad and faculty-led programs, student government, with increased local and national competitions and events, Leadership Academy to teach management, leadership, and professional skills, COE Ambassador program with annual scholarships for selected students, student engagement activities such as summer orientation, back-to-school Rowdy Days,

Monster Mash Pumpkin Smash with student-built trebuchets and STEM outreach, Engineering BBQ cook-off with local engineering industry contestants, E-Week activities,

professional development such as WIN (work-intern-network) Wednesdays where industry professionals hold seminars over lunch or dinner, Zachary Speaker Series with national leaders in engineering practice providing inspirational evening sessions, interview workshops and etiquette training,

Engineering Technology Symposium each semester for students to display and defend their Senior Design Projects (100 projects displayed in Spring 2018),

college Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU), and UTSA Downtown Campus STEM camps focused on families with financial need.

For faculty, an increased emphasis on national and international service as well as engagement with San Antonio business and entrepreneurs included programs such as:

college endowed funds were provided to support travel of faculty to national and international conferences and meetings,

Industry Mentorship program partnering COE Advisory Council members with early-career faculty at UTSA, and

Alumni Council with social gatherings, networking, and college support.

Recognizing that a vision cannot be allowed to stagnate, the College is currently partnered with TDthink, LLC (http://tdthink.com/#second) to create a new College Brand and strategic plan that aligns with the new UTSA leadership vision. As a college, our promise is to shape the lives that will improve our world.

Fostered academic excellence in current and new engineering programs.

As a result of the initiatives in teaching and engagement, the academic programs at UTSA have achieved new levels of success, including:

20% increase in PhD enrollments from 153 to 184, the Electrical Engineering PhD program is now the largest at UTSA, mean-years-to-degree for Masters students decreased from 2.3 to 1.9 years since 2014, 6-year graduation rates increased 14% since 2014, D-F-withdraw rates in key core undergraduate courses have been cut in half, and the number of Bachelors degrees awarded has increased 50% to 450 graduates over a

three year period.

Knowing that a goal for UTSA was to grow engineering enrollments, initial assessments of key strengths existing in the College, demands for new graduates, and interest in the San Antonio community led to the development two new programs:

Chemical Engineering Bachelors program began Fall 2017, and Civil Engineering PhD program to begin Fall 2018.

Enhanced status and sustained funding for research in UTSA College of Engineering.

The number of research proposals, research awards, and amount of research funding secured has increased each year in the College of Engineering since 2014.

total R&D expenditures has increased from $10.3M in FY2015 to $14.4M in FY2017 (40% increase),

total external research expenditures increasing from $7.9M to $10.1M from FY2015 to FY2017.

two Air Force Young Investigator Awards, one NSF Career Award, and Dr. Rena Bizios was elected to the National Academy of Medicine.

Securing ABET accreditation, including two new programs.

Securing ABET accreditation for new programs, and maintaining accreditation in existing programs is the number one priority for all members of the college.

UTSA programs were reviewed in 2016 and next review is 2022. Two new programs were accredited in 2016 – Biomedical Engineering and Computer

Engineering.

Innovative approaches to enhance the educational experiences of engineering students.

At UTSA in the College of Engineering, creating unique experiences for engineering students has a strong focus, including:

JoAnn Browning 4

Study abroad. A joint civil-construction senior-design project completed in Italy with the College of Architecture, Construction & Planning in Urbino, Italy. Engineering students joined liberal and fine arts, architecture and construction science students to study in this Medieval Castle that is also the birthplace of Rafael http://www.utsa.edu/innovations/fall2016/story/feature-study-abroad.html.

Entrepreneurship. The COE Center for Innovation Technology and Entrepreneurship has a $100k pitch competition each spring and the Big Rowdy Idea competition each Fall to foster an entrepreneurship spirit in all UTSA students. Generally 8-10 COE senior-design teams partner with College of Business, Science, and Liberal & Fine Arts students to create new designs/products that address a real problem with a solid business model https://www.utsa.edu/today/2017/04/cite.html.

New EPICS program, modeled after the popular Purdue system https://engineering.purdue.edu/EPICS. This program allows students from all academic levels to form multi-year, multi-disciplinary teams that partner with the San Antonio community in service-learning projects. Students may participate for multiple years, rising to project leaders as upper classmen and mentors as graduate students. Some projects may spawn ideas for Senior Design projects in engineering curricula. The Honors College has already partnered with engineering students in a founding project with the San Antonio zoo, creating toys for elephants the first year (https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/Elephants-at-Zoo-receive-enrichment-project-from-12820100.php) and is planning the next project for big cats. A new bond initiative in San Antonio to improve infrastructure is a likely next candidate, with city officials looking to partner with engineering, business, public policy, and urban planning students. Space has been secured for the EPICS homeroom and a Coordinator identified.

Ensuring students achieve professional skills in a multicultural world.

A primary reason for founding the COE Student Success Center was to help create internship opportunities and ensure that all engineering students received support to complete the program prior to graduating.

In 2014 less than 30% of graduating students had completed an internship, and by Spring 2017 over 50% of engineering graduates reported completing the program.

The College increased the number of credits students could receive for completing cooperative education (from 1 to 3 hours).

50 REU positions were created to promote opportunities for students to gain professional and research skills.

The Student Success Center organizes tours of engineering facilities across Texas in partnership with industry sponsors.

WIN Wednesdays (Work-Intern-Network) brings engineering and business leaders to campus to share their experiences and describe engineering projects.

The Zachry Lecture Series was established to bring speakers from across the country to share inspirational lectures of large historic infrastructure projects.

Advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.

San Antonio has a rich multi-cultural environment. As the fastest-growing large city in the country, http://sanantonio.culturemap.com/news/city-life/05-24-18-san-antonio-new-braunfels-fastest-growing-cities-census-report/, San Antonio also boasts 63% Hispanic and 7% African American population. The College works extensively to create an environment welcoming to all races, sexes, and backgrounds, and has found a great partnership with the City of San Antonio in this regard. Advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion largely depends on the culture that is created within the school. Efforts to create this culture include:

A Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee (DIAC) with engineering faculty and staff to survey our community and create a highly inclusive culture.

In the UTSA COE, 50% of the students are first generation college students, and these students may doubt whether they belong in a University setting. Faculty and staff embrace a caring attitude to all students, convincing them that they belong and can succeed while helping them to find social and academic groups.

The UTSA COE has 20 student organizations with a strong self-governance system to help students from all backgrounds find their place.

The College brand promise is to shape the lives that will improve our world – all lives in a highly inclusive environment. As part of our recent branding work, College Leadership has developed an internal plan that emphasizes making certain that every student knows we care for them as individuals – that we connect them with the “why”, deliver practical experiences, and grow each student’s motivation.

The College completed an equity review of salaries to look for disparities between academic rank, sex, and ethnicities. Funding saved by re-aligning curricula to eliminate additional lecturers was used to provide equity-based raises.

Securing resources for Engineering.

UTSA has a challenging development portfolio as a young institution that must rely heavily on civic-minded citizens in the San Antonio community. Although the University will turn 50 in 2019, the College of Engineering is less than 20 years old, and many alums are still working to achieve their ultimate successes. Despite the inherent challenges, the College of Engineering has been a top performer at UTSA in development of new resources.

From Fall 2014 to Summer 2017, over $9.5M in gifts have been secured for the college of engineering, which is the second highest college total at UTSA. Included a $1M gift from Bill and Margie Klesse to support new Chemical Engineering Bachelors program.

Space is a valuable resource for research and student success. After a careful evaluation of space, the college successfully placed new hires, increased the productivity of research and teaching spaces, and identified strategic priorities for new spaces to be created in a new Science and Engineering Building (SEB). Nearly 50,000 square feet of assignable space in the new SEB is dedicated to engineering needs, including

o 17,000 asf of engineering maker space for senior design students;

JoAnn Browning 6

o multi-disciplinary teaching labs for fluids and instrumentation and controls; o research, teaching, and office space for the new Chemical Engineering program, o $10 million large-scale structural testing facility that will place UTSA in the

position of having the highest testing capacity in the state of Texas.

Energizing alumni and others to continue building excellence.

As a young academic institution, the College is still building traditions with students and alums that will carry through the decades to come.

In Fall 2016 UTSA launched a Be Counted campaign, targeting participation of college alumni and culminating in a competition between all Colleges at UTSA. The College of Engineering won the alumni competition, meeting 212% of our giving goal and earning $15k for the Student Success Center.

In the Fall 2017, the College founded an Alumni Council to strategize on community building activities and goals. Held an inaugural event in May 2018 with 130 alums.

COE leads tailgating for UTSA Football games and hosts alumni in the Alamo Dome suites.

The college has held breakfast meetings at various engineering firms for alums to gather and celebrate being Roadrunners.

Ensuring close contact with industry and the professional community.

UTSA College of Engineering Advisory Council consists of industry and professional members of the community. These professionals serve on the Council to support engineering education and general prosperity for San Antonio.

Students are embedded into the professional community through internships, service-learning, and co-operative education.

Industry supporters serve as mentors to student groups and early-career faculty, often hosting students and faculty on job sites to promote a realistic educational setting.

The COE Student Success Center has an open door for any industry visitor, and helps to coordinate their visits to provide maximum access to our students, faculty and staff.

Recruitment, development, and retention of outstanding & diverse faculty and students.

The UTSA COE carefully crafts our programs to recruit and retain a diverse and thriving community of faculty and students. Efforts and results for faculty include:

Since the Fall 2014, the number of female faculty has risen from 8 (12%) to 13 (15%), Hispanic faculty has risen from 7 (11%) to 12 (14%), and The total number of faculty has risen from 65 to 86. The University of Texas System has a fund that may be used to recruit top quality faculty

known as STARs (https://www.utsystem.edu/offices/academic-affairs/stars-program),

JoAnn Browning 7

and in the past three recruitment cycles the UTSA COE has been awarded 100% of STARs funding requests for a total of $4.3M.

Early career faculty have multiple mentors for teaching, research, and industry engagement.

College policies are crafted to provide adequate resources for seed funding, travel, and graduate student assistance.

A culture that values comradery, student success, and faculty development is supported to ensure that outstanding faculty choose to remain Roadrunners far into their careers.

Efforts and results to promote diversity in the student body include:

Hispanic student enrollments have increased from 42% in Fall 2015 to 48% in Fall 2017. Female enrollments have also increased during this time from 18% to 20%. First-year programs with learning communities in the dorms and social engagements

through the Student Success Center, student organizations, Ambassador and leadership programs, and the Tutoring Center.

Even as the number of graduates has risen (from 407 in FY 14 to 612 in FY 17) and the number of incoming freshmen has fallen in part due to heightened admission standards (from 727 in Fall 2015 to 668 in Fall 2017), the total enrollment in the College has remained steady because of the increase in retention of engineering students.

Recruitment, organizing, and directing a talented and effective staff.

The COE staff are a fantastic group of colleagues who work tirelessly to serve the needs of the engineering faculty and students. Since 2014, a number of staff re-alignments have taken place to ensure the successes in the college in all areas of research, teaching, and service. Despite the growth in the number of programs in the college, there has been only a net gain of three positions, which were provided by the Provost and split with the Vice President of Research Office to support new initiatives. New staff have been provided, in part, because the College has gained a reputation for being able to successfully pilot new and sometimes complex initiatives in the interest of providing better service to students, faculty, and staff. A sample of these pilot programs include:

Student Success Center as a one-stop shop for all extra-curricular student needs (now being replicated in the College of Sciences and College of Liberal and Fine Arts),

using EAB platform to analyze the successes and challenges for engineering students for coordinating tutoring, class schedules, instructor assignments, mentoring programs, and advising sessions (now being used across UTSA),

electronic forms to ease processing of common appointment documents, college-specific recruitment activities with College Recruitment Coordinators, and Business Service Center where support staff from the departments are realigned to help

support common functions in the college while supporting one another with better training and workload management.

Budget management.

Until Fall 2018, UTSA has had an incremental-based budget, but is moving to a responsibility-centered-model. The college began a new budget model with the departments in the Spring 2016 to align funds to our strategic priorities: increasing student success in progress towards degree, retaining students, increasing PhD enrollments and research expenditures. Some examples of how adjustments were made include:

adding fiscal staff to departments, increasing COE graduate fellowship allotments for recruitment, redistributing GTA positions to support the educational mission and increase

recruitment resources, supporting travel to disseminate research and create new partnerships, and provide equity raises.

Building synergistic relationships to enhance excellence of education and research.

Working closely with other colleges and university communities creates an intersection of differing talents and perspectives and leads to the greatest leaps forward in education and research innovation. Examples of partnerships created between colleges and communities include the following:

supported the expansion of a study abroad program to Urbino, Italy with the Colleges of Architecture, Construction & Planning and College of Liberal & Fine Arts with interdisciplinary senior design projects,

established the Open Cloud Institute with a gift from the 80/20 Foundation as a collaboration between the Colleges of Science, Business, and Engineering,

created a partnership between the College of Education & Human Development and the College of Engineering where pedagogical experts are paired with engineering curricular experts to increase learning in the classroom (as part of an NSF grant),

worked with the College of Business to run the Center of Innovation Technology and Entrepreneurship (hosted in COE), which holds $100k pitch competitions each Spring, the Big Rowdy Idea competition each Fall, I-Corps grants, and other commercialization and regulatory science workshops, and

supported the joint appointments of new faculty in departments of Chemistry, Biology, and Physics, as well as Business, Science, and Education faculty in the College of Engineering.
