However, in the process of developing the very technologies that have made us prosperous, we have enabled others to compete with us on a more level playing field. In general, this is a good thing, because a rising tide lifts all ships, and a more prosperous world will surely be a safer world. But the strategies that helped us get to the top are not the ones that will lead to greater security, pros- perity, and health in the future. As difficult and uncomfortable as change may be, we must change the things we can control or Wm. A.Wulf influence—and we must begin now, before it is too late. In a world where widespread advanced knowledge and readily available low- cost labor are undermining U.S. advantages in the marketplace and eroding U.S. leadership in science and technology, we urgently need a comprehensive, coordinated federal effort to bolster our competitiveness and preeminence. Two reports produced in 2005, Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future and Engineering Research and America’s Future: Meeting the Challenges of a Global Economy, focus on what we as a nation must do to prosper in the globalized, competitive 21st century. Both reports have already gained some “traction” in Congress and the executive branch. The congressionally requested NRC report, Rising Above the Gathering Storm, makes four recommendations and identifies 20 implementation actions for fed- eral policy makers that will lead to the creation of high-quality jobs and focus science and technology efforts on meeting the nation’s needs, especially in the area of clean, affordable energy. The report recommends: (1) increasing the U.S. talent pool by vastly improving K–12 mathematics and science education; (2) strengthening the commitment to long-term basic research; (3) developing, recruiting, and retaining top students, scientists, and engineers from the U.S. and abroad; and (4) ensuring that the United States is the premier place in the world for innovation. Implementing some of these actions will require changing existing laws. All of them will require financial support that could be made available by reallocating existing budgets and increasing them, when necessary. 1 35020_TEXT_AA2 8/31/06 8:26 AM Page 2 Engineering Research and America’s Future, an NAE report, describes the critical role of engineering research in maintaining U.S. technological leadership, docu- ments major challenges and opportunities facing the U.S. engineering research enterprise, and offers specific recommendations for leaders in federal and state gov- ernment, industry, and universities for strengthening U.S. engineering research in the face of intensifying global competition. A joint study by NAE and the Institute of Medicine, Building a Better Delivery System: A New Engineering/Health Care Partnership, includes findings and recom- mendations for building a strong partnership between engineers and health care professionals to address the crises facing the health care delivery system in the United States. The report also includes an extended discussion of how systems engineering tools might be used to improve the quality of care and the efficiency of care delivery. Another NAE report, The Engineer of 2020: Adapting Engineering Education to the New Century, provides recommendations for engineering educators, employers, professional societies, and government agencies engaged in reengineering the “sys- tem of systems”—engineering education. Engineers of the future must be educated to perform in a multicultural, multiethnic, global environment. In 2005, the Grainger Challenge Prize for Sustainable Development was established to encourage the development of a small-scale, inexpensive system for removing arsenic from contaminated groundwater, a problem that affects tens of millions of people, especially in developing countries. The purpose of the prize is ultimately to make a material difference in achieving a sustainable future for people everywhere. The Grainger Challenge Prize will be awarded in 2007. The projects I have cited here represent just a sampling of the work done by NAE in 2005. The following pages will provide more insight into the broad scope of our activities. We remain committed to promoting the technological welfare of the nation and grateful for the support of our members and friends, whose generous financial contributions make it possible for NAE to continue making meaningful contributions to the well-being of the nation. Thank you. Wm. A. Wulf President 2 NAE 35020_TEXT_AA2 8/31/06 8:26 AM Page 3 In Service to the Nation Every day our nation faces questions related to engineering and technology. How can we keep our nation safe from terrorism? How can we increase diversity in the engineering workforce? What role should citizens play in decisions about tech- nology development? How can we help journalists and others in the media pro- vide accurate, timely engineering and technology information? Answering these questions is becoming increasingly difficult as we advance technologically and become more involved in the global community. Since 1964, the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) has provided independ- ent, objective advice to the nation on engineering-related topics and policies. NAE operates under the same congressional act of incorporation that established the National Academy of Sciences, signed in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln. Under this charter, NAE is directed “whenever called upon by any department or agency of the government, to investigate, examine, experiment, and report upon any subject of science or art.” NAE has more than 2,000 peer-elected members and foreign associates, approxi- mately 47 percent from academia, 45 percent from industry, and 8 percent from nonprofit institutions and government. NAE members are drawn from bioengi- neering, computer science, aerospace, civil engineering, industrial engineering, and mechanical engineering. They serve as members of research and study com- mittees, plan and conduct symposia and workshops, and assist in the work of the organization in many other ways. Areas of focus include working collaboratively at home and abroad to identify and solve technological problems, assessing the technological needs of the nation and sponsoring programs to meet those needs, advising Congress and government agencies on engineering-related matters of national importance, and recognizing and honoring outstanding engineers for their contributions to the well-being of the nation and the world. NAE not only responds to requests from government, but also sponsors activities with foundations, industry, and state and local governments and funds projects through endowment funds supported by private contributions. Thus, NAE is a unique organization that brings together distinguished engineers for the purpose of improving the lives of people everywhere. NAE is a member of the National Academies, which also include the National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council. Mission Statement To promote the technological welfare of the nation by marshalling the knowledge and insights of eminent members of the engineering profession. 3 2005 35020_TEXT_AA2 8/31/06 8:26 AM Page 4 PROGRAM REPORTS Engineering Education The Committee on Engineering Education (CEE), a standing committee of the National Academy of Engineering Office of the President, is a select group of thought leaders and experts from the business, academic, and public sectors with a demonstrated commit- ment to the advancement of engineering education. The mission of CEE is to provide guidance and advice to policy makers, administrators, employers, and others to ensure quality, diversity, and quantity in engineering education. The CEE was chaired by Stephen Director (NAE) of Drexel University until July, 2005 and by Michael Corradini

KENNET H FOWLER FTER A DISTINGUISHED CAREER OF SERVICe in academia, govern- Ament, and industry, Guy Stever died on April 9, 2010, at his home in Gaithersburg, Maryland. He was 9. During 1965-1976, he served as president of Carnegie Tech, then Carnegie-Mellon University; director of the National Science Foundation; and science adviser to Presidents Nixon and Ford. He was a member of Section 1 of the National Academy of Sciences, elected in 197, having already been elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1965. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1991. I knew Guy best when I served with him on the Fusion Policy Advisory Committee of 1990, which played an important role in enabling Princeton finally to conduct experiments with tritium that yielded the first definitive demonstration of controlled fusion power, in 199. Guy was chair, a frequent role for him after his years in the White House. Just the year before, in 1989, he had completed a far more difficult assignment as chair of a panel overseeing booster-rocket redesign following the Challenger disaster.

  • Hugh L. Dryden's Career in Aviation and Space
    MONOGRAPHS IN AREROSPACE HISTORY #5 Hugh Dryden's Career Hugh L. Dryden's Career in Aviation and Space by Michael H. Gorn NASA History Office Code ZH NASA Headquarters Washington, DC 20546 Monographs in Aerospace History Number 5 1996 Hugh Dryden's Career Foreword This account of the life of Dr. Hugh Latimer Dryden is especially appropriate now. The NASA Hugh L. Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) was named in his honor exactly 20 years ago. This year we also celebrate 50 years of flight research here. It is fitting that people associated with the Center, with NASA as a whole, and those outside of NASA who are interested in the history of aviation and space, be reminded of Hugh Dryden’s enormous contributions. Hugh Dryden was a research scientist of the highest order, an aeronautics pioneer, the Director of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), and then the first NASA Deputy Administra- tor. Dr. Hugh Dryden’s special relationship to the Dryden Flight Research Center goes far beyond its name. Among Hugh Dryden’s first actions after becoming the NACA’s Director of Research in September 1947, was to inform Walt Williams, the director of the flight research operation here in the desert, that the NACA Muroc organization, formed the previous year, would now become a permanent facility known as the NACA Muroc Flight Test Unit. Hugh Dryden strongly supported the flight research conducted here with the early rocket-powered aircraft. He represented the NACA on the interagency Research Airplane Committee that supervised the beginnings of the critically important X-15 research at the High Speed Flight Station.

    1 May 7, 2011 Administrator Lisa Jackson United States Environmental Protection Agency Ariel Rios Building 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N. W. Mail Code: 1101A Washington, DC 20460 Re: Docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0541, Petition to Suspend and Cancel All Registrations for the Soil Fumigant Iodomethane (Methyl Iodide) Dear Administrator Jackson, We are pleased to see that US EPA has decided to reconsider the registration of methyl iodide for its use as a soil fumigant pesticide. We remain concerned about the wisdom of widespread dispersion of methyl iodide into the environment and support the petition to cancel all uses of this chemical as a pesticide. It is one of the more hazardous chemicals used in research labs and in the chemical industry, and it seems counterintuitive that EPA would work on one hand to prevent and document relatively small releases of methyl iodide used in research and chemical manufacturing, while permitting what will likely be millions of pounds to be used annually in agriculture near homes, schools and workplaces. In our letter to EPA of September 24, 2007, (which we sent a copy of to you in February of 2009), we strongly recommended that EPA not register methyl iodide, but if the Agency chose to do so, we recommended that US EPA obtain an external scientific peer review of the risk assessment. While EPA did not commission such a review, the state of California has conducted its own risk assessment and did commission a Scientific Review Committee (SRC) to evaluate US EPA’s and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation’s (DPR’s) risk assessments.
