  • 97-98 Annual Report
    Click on the cover to view the Annual Report. A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR To Colleagues and Friends of the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering: We completed another very successful, busy, and satisfying academic year, wherein we have continued to improve the quality of our programs. We successfully underwent an ABET 2000 review of both of our undergraduate programs, completed the conversion of our academic programs to a semester calendar, and most visibly, saw construction begin on the Manufacturing Related Disciplines Complex Phase II building, which will house roughly half of the Woodruff School. This tremendous improvement in our physical plan will complete a three-building complex within seven years and provide us with one of the finest facilities for a mechanical engineering program in the country. This report presents the record of accomplishments for the period July 1, 1997 to June 30, 1998. In addition to the major accomplishments just noted, the faculty, staff, and students of the Woodruff School continue their tradition of excellence in the pursuit of our vision to be the best engineering education program of its kind and to be so recognized. The quality of both our undergraduate and graduate students continues to improve, and our faculty and staff have also improved and expanded. Because of the tremendous efforts on the part of our faculty in pursuing their research programs, they brought in 50 percent more in research funding commitments this past year than the expenditures for the same period. This bodes well for our future research and education programs, particularly in light of the national environment for research funding.

We hope you benefit from the technical program and Industry Expo that provide an open forum to present and exchange findings on recent advances in ceramic science and technology. The Engineering Ceramics Division of the American Ceramic Society has 2020 Program Chair organized this prestigious conference since 1977—with tremendous growth in interest and participation from ceramic communities globally. The key event of this year’s conference is the 4th Pacific Rim Engineering Ceramics Summit. The Summit will bring together experts from academia, industry, and government research institutes/laboratories to discuss the current state of the art and various technical challenges in research and development, engineering, manufacturing, and application of ceramic materials. The goal of the summit is to provide a forum for global information Valerie Wiesner exchange concerning the current status and emerging trends in various NASA Langley Research Center ceramic technologies in Pacific Rim countries. In addition, this year’s technical program consists of eighteen symposia, five focused sessions on emerging technologies, the 9th Global Young Investigator Forum, and a special focused session on Diversity, Entrepreneurship, and Commercialization to recognize the ECD Jubilee Global Diversity Award recipients.

  • Centennial !! from Mining, Minerals, Metals and Ceramics to Materials Science and Engineering
    Centennial !! From Mining, Minerals, Metals and Ceramics to Materials Science and Engineering, A Century of Progress at the University of Washington Department of Materials Science and Engineering University of Washington 1994 PREFACE I first learned of this history project in 1987 when Art Kramer, an Electrical Engineering alum, interviewed me on the subject. The College of Engineering's History Committee had set out to write a history of the College. Mining was the first engineering discipline taught at the University of Washington, and granted the first engineering degree. Since our Department is the direct descendent of the College of Mines, we were to be the first department in the history. I soon learned that the School of Mining Engineering was chartered in the fall of 1893 by the Board of Regents, and its curriculum developed in 1894. Although there was the complicating factor that the initial mining program was an adjunct of the Geology Department and the School was not fully implemented as an independent entity until 1901, it was clearly the first functioning engineering program at the University, granting its first degree in 1900. (Civil Engineering, the oldest of the other Engineering programs, granted its first degree in 1901.) Later, when the College of Engineering decided to celebrate its centennial, it chose as its beginning year 1893- 1894, when the first engineering program was authorized and developed in Mining Engineering. Since this is the centennial of the College of Mines, and by inheritance, the centennial of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, we pushed forward with this account to ensure our rightful place in history! Eventually, it will be one chapter in the history of the College of Engineering, but for our alumni and friends, as well as our staff, this one chapter is us, past, present and future.
