I. Overview of the Proposed Program 1. Context. Describe the program’s development, including the LOI process, as well as its proposed administrative and operational organizational structure.

RESPONSE: This proposal for an Interdisciplinary Graduate Program (IDGP) in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), offering M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in MSE, was developed by a cross-college faculty task force starting in 2019, building on discussions over several years, and with strong support from the Provost and Chancellor. The task force was appointed by Sanjay Raman, Dean of the College of Engineering, in close consultation with Tricia Serio, Dean of College of Natural Sciences (CNS), and chaired by Ashwin Ramasubramaniam (Professor, Mechanical & Industrial Engineering). The task force consists of faculty from all departments represented in the IDGP, namely, the Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and Mechanical & Industrial Engineering from the College of Engineering (COE), as well as the Departments of Chemistry and Physics from CNS.

The proposed IDGP will offer coursework-based (non-thesis) M.S. degrees, including accelerated 4+1 M.S. degrees, thesis-based M.S. degrees, and Ph.D. degrees in MSE. This interdisciplinary academic program builds on UMass Amherst’s established and recognized strength in materials research (ranked 36th by U.S. News in 20211), bringing together nearly 50 faculty members across COE and CNS.

The MSE IDGP will be led by a Program Director who will be a tenured faculty member affiliated with the program, nominated by the MSE IDGP faculty, and appointed by the COE Dean with concurrence of the CNS Dean. A faculty steering committee, consisting of representatives of all participating COE and CNS

1

Institution: University of Massachusetts Amherst Proposed Degree: M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering departments, nominated by the respective Department Heads and appointed by the respective College Deans, will advise the Program Director and exercise oversight of the IDGP. Specifically, the steering committee will oversee the annual program budget, departmental MOUs, and internal degree policies; engage with the external advisory board; and serve as the graduate admissions committee. The responsibilities of the Program Director also will include service in the capacity of Graduate Program Director for the IDGP. The Program Director and steering committee will report directly to the COE Dean.

Following an initial strategic investment from the University, it is anticipated that the IDGP will be self- supporting with operational expenses funded from revenues generated by the M.S. and accelerated M.S. (4+1) programs. COE will provide administrative staff support for the program during the startup period. Once the IDGP is administratively and financially sound, administrative support arrangements will be reviewed.

2. Description. Summarize the purpose of the program as it relates to the knowledge and skills will students acquire, and the careers for which graduates will be prepared as described in the approved LOI.

RESPONSE: Modeled along the lines of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria,2 the objectives of the MSE IDGP are to prepare graduates to: a. Apply advanced science (such as chemistry, biology, and physics), computational techniques, and engineering principles to materials systems; b. Integrate the understanding of the scientific and engineering principles underlying the four major elements of the field: structure, properties, processing, and performance related to material systems; and c. Apply, integrate, and expand knowledge from each of the above four elements of the field using experimental, computational, and statistical methods to solve materials problems including selection and design, as well as to develop new materials and processes and enable innovative materials technologies.

The faculty affiliated with the proposed IDGP have extensive research and teaching expertise in MSE that encompass the four major elements of the field. MSE is already recognized as a major research strength of UMass Amherst (ranked 36th by U.S. News in 20211), with over 30 faculty members in COE with closely aligned research interests, nearly half of whom have been hired within the last seven years, making MSE an area of significant investment and projected growth for the College. More than 20 faculty members in the College of Natural Sciences (CNS) have MSE-aligned research programs. The University has also made significant investments in state-of-the-art shared facilities and research laboratories in the Life Science Laboratories (Institute for Applied Life Sciences), the Physical Sciences Building, and the Conte National Center for Polymer Research. Under the mentorship of MSE faculty and instructors, M.S. and Ph.D. students in the proposed IDGP will pursue coursework, obtain equipment and instrumentation training from dedicated staff, and perform original research in these modern, cutting-edge research laboratories and shared facilities. The proposed degree programs are therefore well positioned to impart high-quality training to students and enable their success in a variety of career roles spanning industry, academia, and government.

Complementing knowledge and skills acquired through research experience, MSE students can also engage in experiential learning through internships and independent studies. The U.S. Bureau of labor Statistics (BLS)3 notes that “materials scientists with an advanced degree, particularly those with a Ph.D., are expected to have better [employment] opportunities.” The BLS notes that “prospects should be best for [materials engineers] 2

Institution: University of Massachusetts Amherst Proposed Degree: M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering who gained experience by participating in internships or co-op programs while in college”. The MSE IDGP is designed to allow students to take up to three credits of practicum (independent study or industrial internship) working with a faculty advisor or an industrial partner to strengthen the application of their education. Students can also take up to six credits of Engineering Management courses with the aim of enhancing their professional preparation for a career in the materials industry. The Engineering Management program, offered by COE in collaboration with the Isenberg School of Management, can be completed fully online, fully on- campus, or in a blended fashion, making the M.S. program within the IDGP attractive to non-traditional students and working professionals.

Graduates of M.S. and Ph.D. programs in MSE pursue a variety of career paths in industry, academia, and government. Possible Career Pathways, with supporting statistics, are elaborated upon in Section 4. Students will be made aware of career options through a variety of means. We will work in close coordination with the COE’s Engineering Career Development and Experiential Learning Center, the UMass Innovation Institute, and the Office of the Associate Provost for Career and Professional Development to assist with advising regarding career development and to provide opportunities for students, faculty, and employers to meet and develop mutually beneficial relationships. The MSE IDGP will engage UMass alumni in academia and industry, e.g., by bringing them to campus for regular visits and/or seminars, to support the career development and success of our graduate students. As the alumni base of the IDGP grows with time, we will also develop other opportunities such as industrial visits and shadowing MSE alumni for students to gain added exposure to career options. This professional MSE alumni network will enable students to develop mentor–mentee relationships as part of their individual mentoring plans. The IDGP’s External Advisory Board will provide another important avenue for engaging potential employers from industry and governmental agencies/laboratories. Finally, in partnership with the UMass Innovation Institute, the Technology Transfer Office, the Berthiaume Center for Entrepreneurship and the Institute for Applied Life Sciences Venture Development program, graduates can also pursue opportunities to launch startup companies driven by MSE research-based innovations.

Please see Forms A and B (attached)

Learning Outcomes. Students who graduate from the MSE IDGP will be equipped to: a. Apply advanced science (such as chemistry, biology and physics), computational techniques and engineering principles to materials systems; b. Integrate the understanding of the scientific and engineering principles underlying the four major elements of the field: structure, properties, processing, and performance related to material systems; and c. Apply, integrate, and expand knowledge from each of the above four elements of the field using experimental, computational, and statistical methods to solve materials problems including selection

and design, as well as to develop new materials and processes and enable innovative materials technologies.

Course Content. Non-thesis M.S. and 4+1 degrees require 32 credits for satisfactory completion of the degree. Coursework will consist of four three-credit core courses and six three-credit electives for a total of 30 credits. Two of the six electives should be chosen to attain further specialization in a sub-field of MSE (e.g., advanced manufacturing, biomaterials, electronic materials, etc.); of the four remaining electives, students may take up to two Engineering Management courses and up to one practicum course (MSE-related industry internship or an independent study with MSE-affiliated faculty) for three credits. Attendance at the MSE research seminar series will be mandatory for earning two credits (one credit per semester of residence).

Thesis-based M.S. students will require a minimum of 33 credits for satisfactory completion of the degree. Coursework will consist of four three-credit core courses and four three-credit electives for a total of 24 credits. Two of the four electives should be chosen to attain further specialization in a sub-field of MSE (e.g., advanced manufacturing, biomaterials, electronic materials, etc.). Students must fulfill a minimum of 6 M.S. thesis research credits with an MSE-affiliated faculty advisor. Attendance at the MSE research seminar series will be mandatory for earning three credits (one credit per semester of residence).

Ph.D. students will require a minimum of 48 credits for satisfactory completion of the degree. Coursework will consist of four three-credit core courses and four three-credit electives for a total of 24 credits. All Ph.D. students must fulfill a minimum of 18 Ph.D. dissertation credits. Attendance at the MSE research seminar series will be mandatory for each semester of residence; assuming a minimum residency of three years, students will thus earn six additional credits (one credit per semester of residence). Annually, each Ph.D. candidate will complete an Individual Development Plan (IDP), developed by the Graduate School at UMass Amherst 4, reporting publications, presentations, and professional affiliations, as well as their achievements for the learning objectives noted above. The IDP will be evaluated by the student’s dissertation advisor, who will provide their own assessment of the expected and actual achievement of the program objectives. This feedback will allow the IDGP administration to calibrate program activities towards the expectations of students and advisors.

Core Courses (Four). The four core courses—common to the 4+1, M.S., and Ph.D. degree programs—are: 1) Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Materials, 2) Advanced Materials Characterization, 3) Mechanical Behavior of Materials, and 4) Electronic, Optical, and Magnetic Properties of Materials. These core courses treat materials principles from a fundamental, universal perspective rather than by a specific materials class and are designed to provide the student with a rigorous background in the fundamental subject matter that will be built upon through elective courses, laboratory training, and research.

MSE 601 Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Materials will introduce students to fundamental aspects of materials and materials processes. The thermodynamics aspects include laws of thermodynamics, solution thermodynamics, and equilibrium phase diagrams; the kinetics aspects include diffusion, phase transformations and solidification, and development and evolution of microstructure.

MIE 611 Advanced Materials Characterization will introduce students to the fundamental principles behind characterization approaches such as electron microscopy/spectroscopy, x-ray spectroscopy, diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and synchrotron techniques. This course includes laboratory demonstrations of the techniques, wherein datasets are generated, and students write reports forming conclusions based on the

OR

ChE 697C Advanced Materials Characterization: Spectroscopy will introduce students to various analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry, SIMS, MALDI, FTIR, Raman, SERS, XPS, UPS, XAENS, EXAFS, NMR, EPR, fluorescence, UV-Visible spectroscopy and imaging. Principles, structure, and applications of instruments are covered; emphasis is placed on selecting the appropriate analytical techniques for characterization of devices, materials, and biological molecules, and on developing the ability to solve problems associated with characterization.

MIE 609 Mechanical Properties of Materials will introduce students to the principles of mechanical behavior and failure of metals, polymers, and ceramics; analysis of problems in design and optimization of structural materials that must meet certain strength and performance criteria; and the engineering significance and use of various experimentally measured properties such as fatigue life, critical stress intensity factor, relaxation modulus, creep rupture life, and crack growth rate.

ECE 618 Electronic, Optical, and Magnetic Properties of Materials will introduce students to the fundamentals of physics of semiconductor and related materials, focusing on a description of how electronic, optical, and magnetic properties arise out of the materials’ electronic and physical structure. The course covers electron transport and electron interactions with heat, light, electrical, and magnetic fields, pertinent to semiconductors and nanostructures.

Elective Courses. The MSE task force has identified 64 courses (see Form A) offered by the participating departments that will provide M.S. and Ph.D. students with a wide variety of elective options. In addition, other graduate courses in Polymer Science and Engineering and the College of Information and Computer Sciences can also be used to fulfill the elective requirement with approval from the MSE IDGP Graduate Program Director.

Delivery of Content. All core courses and most electives will be taught in the traditional synchronous classroom mode, and offered during the day. Several Engineering Management classes are already taught online during the summer and this will provide 4+1 and non-thesis M.S. students maximum flexibility to complete their coursework within one calendar year. The practicum can also be undertaken during the summer, with students working at their employers’ locations or in faculty labs, and incorporating analysis done as part of their work into the final course project. Participating departments may also make MSE core courses and electives available via online/hybrid delivery modes; students will be able to take these classes remotely, allowing for further flexibility in completing their degree requirements. Independent Work and Internships. The curriculum is designed to integrate with both independent student research and internships or other work placements for 4+1 and non-thesis M.S. degrees. Degree rules allow students to substitute up to one practicum—an MSE-related internship or independent study—for an elective course. The practicum class will be overseen by a faculty member in the MSE program to ensure that students can make the most of the learning opportunities presented by the internship or research project. We will work in close coordination with the COE’s Engineering Career Development and Experiential Learning Center to 6

Institution: University of Massachusetts Amherst Proposed Degree: M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering assist students with finding suitable internships and independent-study research opportunities, and as the program evolves and grows, we expect to work with an External Advisory Board to develop a network of potential employers for facilitating internships and work placements. External Advisory Board. The MSE IDGP will convene an External Advisory Board (EAB) composed of prominent scientists and engineers from academia, industry, and national labs. The advisory board will meet annually to provide external counsel in support of the IDGP’s teaching, research, and service missions. These include strategies and means of developing resources for enhancing the goals of the IDGP and of promoting the IDGP to potential students, employers, legislative leaders, governmental agencies, and industrial partners and employers. Related to the advisory board, we also plan to create and maintain an active network of UMass Amherst MSE alumni in academia, industry, and government. We will bring alumni to campus for regular visits and/or seminars, to support the career development and success of our graduate students. As the alumni base of the IDGP grows with time, we will also create other opportunities for our students such as industrial visits and shadowing MSE alumni to gain added professional exposure and broaden their career options. Input from the alumni network will supplement EAB feedback to understand changing and growing market demands in terms of skills and experience. Over regular time intervals (1-5 years) after their graduation, MSE IDGP alumni will be surveyed to ascertain synergies or gaps between their academic training and job requirements, and this feedback will be used to continuously improve the program. Additionally, survey results and feedback will be used to improve marketing to prospective students.

4. Students. (Attach Form C, “Enrollment Projections” approved in the LOI) Describe undergraduate program admission requirements for first year and transfer students. Outline expected time from admission to graduation in undergraduate program, as well as projected degree completion rates, and transferability of program participants’ credits to other institutions. Describe the proposed program’s alignment to students emerging from the K-12 system. How will the program be connected to public secondary education in the region? Are there dual-enrollment or early college opportunities being planned for the proposed program? and/or

Describe graduate program requirements for admission and graduation, expected time from admission to graduation, projected degree completion rates, and applicability to a higher degree or additional programs if relevant. How is the program relevant to a specific career or vocational pathway? What are the alignments to existing undergraduate programs? Describe alignments to the same or allied areas in the region or the state.

Please see form C (attached). The MSE IDGP will be marketed to prospective graduate students, both domestic and international. The 4+1 program will be marketed to UMass Amherst undergraduates, starting in their freshman year, to increase their awareness of MSE research on campus and to allow them to tailor their senior year program of study to accommodate MSE core courses or electives. The Five-College system in the Pioneer Valley provides unique opportunities for recruiting female graduate students from Smith and Mt. Holyoke Colleges, two premiere undergraduate US women’s colleges. The MSE IDGP will work closely with these institutions to recruit 7

Institution: University of Massachusetts Amherst Proposed Degree: M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering female graduate students into the MSE IDGP; formative summer research and independent study experiences with PIs affiliated with the MSE program will play a central role in this recruitment process. Ultimately, the IDGP seeks to exceed national averages for women and underrepresented minorities in MSE,5 thereby contributing to UMass Amherst’s goal of “building a more diverse and inclusive community”.6 The MSE IDGP steering committee will serve as the graduate admissions committee for the program.

Admission Requirements. The admission requirements and procedures for the MSE IDGP will align with the requirements set forth by the UMass Amherst Graduate School. Prospective students will submit a personal statement at the time of application, as well as a résumé or C.V. and undergraduate transcripts to enable the admission committee to gauge the relevant academic preparation and background of applicants. Prospective students will have to request three letters of recommendation, at least one of which must be from a faculty member. The GRE, or Graduate Record Examination, will be optional. International students will be required to submit scores from any of the standardized English Language Proficiency Tests prescribed by the Graduate School. Because MSE research is highly interdisciplinary, in addition to students with traditional undergraduate degrees in MSE, we also expect to attract students with undergraduate backgrounds in a variety of disciplines, including engineering, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology. In all cases, applicants will be expected to demonstrate sufficient achievement in college-level mathematics, physics, and chemistry. The UMass Amherst Graduate School offers application fee waivers to eligible domestic students from underrepresented groups who participate in various national conferences and recruitment programs. Furthering these efforts, the MSE IDGP will also offer tuition waivers to underrepresented minorities in STEM who attend recruiting events at MSE-related conferences organized by the Materials Research Society (MRS), as well as the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the American Physical Society (APS), among others. Timeframe. Typical timeframes for non-thesis M.S. and 4+1 will be 12 months (two semesters and one summer); thesis-based M.S. degrees will be completed typically over 18-20 months (four semesters and one summer). Ph.D. degrees will typically require five years for completion, with a minimum residency of three years. Sample Timetables for Degree Completion are provided above in Section 3. Graduation Requirements. Non-thesis M.S. and 4+1 degrees require 32 credits for satisfactory completion of the degree. Thesis-based M.S. students will require a minimum of 33 credits and a successful M.S. thesis defense for satisfactory completion of the degree. Ph.D. students will require a minimum of 48 credits for satisfactory completion of the degree; required milestones include passing a qualifying exam, a dissertation proposal, and a dissertation defense. Students will be allowed to transfer graduate course credits taken at UMass Amherst or at other academic institutions as per UMass Amherst Graduate School regulations. Coursework requirements for each degree have been described in detail in response to Section 3 above. Completion Rate. Completion rates for M.S. degrees in COE typically exceed 90%; similarly, completion rates for Ph.D. degrees (once students attain candidacy) are also over 90%.7 We expect the completion rates for M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in MSE to be consistent with the overall COE averages, with average times to completion as noted above. Career Pathways. Graduates of M.S. and Ph.D. programs in MSE pursue a variety of career paths both within and outside of academia. While MassHire regional blueprints do not explicitly address MSE workforce development plans, several blueprints have identified advanced manufacturing—of which MSE is an integral aspect—as being critical to local economies.8 According to the Occupational Network Database9 published by the U.S. Department of Labor, 19% of jobs in Materials Science require a M.S., and 33% require a Ph.D. For Materials Engineering, 31% of jobs require a M.S., and 8% require a Ph.D. There are, thus, significant 8

Institution: University of Massachusetts Amherst Proposed Degree: M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering employment opportunities outside of academia for students with graduate degrees in MSE. Furthermore, basic scientific research and technology development are two industries with the highest levels of employment for materials scientists and engineers, and account for 22% of all employment of materials professionals.10 These industries require graduate degrees. Current Ph.D. graduates from the College of Engineering in existing majors compete successfully for jobs nationally. Graduates of the MSE IDGP are expected to follow a distribution similar to the national one for employment due to the existing strength and external recognition of MSE at UMass Amherst. At the state level, Massachusetts ranks third nationally for employment of materials scientists and second in the number of materials science jobs per 1,000.11 The Boston-Cambridge-Newton metropolitan area ranks first nationally for the number of jobs in materials science. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms are important employers in Massachusetts and have clearly identified needs for MSE expertise, which partly explains the high employment of MSE professionals in the Boston area. Moreover, the UMass Donahue Institute’s latest analysis shows that the defense industry, also with clearly identified needs for MSE expertise, is a major contributor to New England’s economy and Massachusetts is the top defense contracting state in the region with emphasis on professional, scientific, and technical services.12 According to data from the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE),13 the number of B.S. degrees in MSE awarded in the U.S. increased by 32% from 2014 to 2018, illustrating a significant growth in the number of prospective applicants for the graduate program. Over the same period, the number of M.S. degrees in MSE increased by 22%, and the number of Ph.D. degrees increased by 18%. Of the 20,345 degrees awarded in MSE during the 2014-2018 period, 31.7% were M.S. degrees, and 21.0% were Ph.D. degrees. These data are consistent with the fractions of jobs in MSE that require advanced degrees as reported above and demonstrate the strong overall student market for the proposed IDGP. Another option for Ph.D. graduates is an academic career. The most relevant disciplines for which data are available are professors in engineering, chemistry, and physics. The BLS14 predicts 11% job growth for Postsecondary Engineering Teachers between 2018 and 2028, with an average of 530 annual openings. The growth of Postsecondary Chemistry and Physics Teachers is projected to be 6-7% over this period, with approximately 170 annual openings in chemistry and 110 annual openings in physics. The predicted employment growth for postsecondary teachers in each of these areas relevant to materials science and engineering is above average. Alignment with other programs in the area. In Massachusetts, graduate degrees in MSE are offered by MIT (US News #1/NRC #5),15 Worcester Polytechnic Institute (70/not ranked), and Boston University (54/ not ranked). Harvard University (14/--) offers graduate degrees in “Engineering Sciences: Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering,” but most activity in MSE occurs outside of this department through their Materials Research Science and Engineering Center. In and near the region, graduate degrees in MSE are offered by Brown University (39/27), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (22/31), the University of Connecticut (46/36), the University of Vermont (not ranked/ not ranked), the University of New Hampshire (not ranked/ not ranked), SUNY Stony Brook (41/25), Cornell University (8/50), Columbia University (25/58), and the University of Rochester (70/not ranked). It is noteworthy that UMass Amherst is ranked 36th in MSE 1 even without having a formal degree granting program. As shown in Table 1, the enrollment in the M.S. and Ph.D. MSE programs in the region has been approximately constant for the period 2014-2018 despite the national increase of B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. MSE degrees of 25% over this period.16 This discrepancy demonstrates a significant and unmet need for an additional, highly-ranked materials graduate program in the region, as existing regional materials programs

9

Institution: University of Massachusetts Amherst Proposed Degree: M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering have not grown at a rate consistent with the national trend. Because MSE research and education involve significant laboratory components, existing programs cannot be expanded appreciably by relying upon distance technologies. An interesting point of comparison is the interdisciplinary Division of Materials Science and Engineering established at Boston University in 2008, which is the newest MSE graduate degree program in the region and currently involves 86 affiliated faculty members. The program enrolled 2 M.S. and 18 Ph.D. students in 2008 and has experienced significant growth in enrollment through 2018, with 31 Ph.D. students and 75 M.S. students currently enrolled,16 despite its modest ranking (54/not ranked).17 Their annual research expenditures are close to $25,000,000.

Given the strong national and regional demand for employees with graduate MSE degrees, the significant increase in MSE graduate degrees over the last decade, and the outstanding national reputation of materials research at UMass Amherst (ranked 36th by U.S. News in 2021 1), despite the absence of a graduate degree program on campus, there is a substantial opportunity to develop and institute an excellent program that satisfies the societal and economic need for outstanding MSE graduates that is not currently being met by other regional programs. Furthermore, there are no MSE degree programs within the UMass system to meet this need. Thus, as a public land-grant institution, UMass Amherst has both a unique responsibility and opportunity to satisfy this unmet need for MSE graduate degrees.

5. Feasibility. (Complete Form E, “Program Faculty" and display positions to be filled with desired qualifications. Attached vitae for all current faculty for the program.) Describe faculty, staffing, library and information technologies, facility (including lab and equipment), fiscal and or other resources required to implement the proposed program. Distinguish between new resources needed and existing resources that are on-hand. Please see form E (attached). As an interdisciplinary program housed in the College of Engineering (COE), the MSE IDGP has developed a financial model for securing access to faculty and instructional resources without increasing permanent expenditures. Following a modest strategic investment from UMass Amherst in Years 1 and 2, the proposed MSE IDGP will be entirely self-sustaining, funded by revenues from the 4+1 and M.S. programs. A portion of degree revenues will be reinvested in the research programs of affiliated faculty through Ph.D. fellowships and Teaching Assistantships, which will also enable us to attract top-tier students to the program by assuring multi-year financial support.

Faculty. The proposed MSE IDGP requires teaching of four core courses annually, which would be taught by existing faculty members with expertise in MSE and new, MSE-relevant faculty members from ongoing/future searches associated with available faculty lines. Additional tenure-track faculty members are not required to initiate the program. One new 12-month lecturer position will be filled prior to the inception of the program to provide additional teaching resources, assist with administration of the M.S. programs, and develop external relationships with industry partners. Students in the program will be incorporated into existing core courses offered by COE departments. The MSE IDGP will provide one full-time Graduate Teaching Assistant per core course to offset any increase in faculty load due to increased enrollments; we note that none of these graduate classes are currently supported by teaching assistants. Because MSE is a significant and growing research area at UMass Amherst, throughout COE and CNS, we anticipate that many future faculty hires will be affiliated with the MSE IDGP and help the program grow. Instructional Resources. The four core courses will be offered by incorporating students into three existing COE courses and by creating a new offering that will be taught, at least initially, by the new full-time lecturer. The MSE IDGP will provide one full-time Graduate Teaching Assistant per core course to offset any increase in faculty load due to increased enrollments. Electives will be provided largely by COE and CNS faculty affiliated with the MSE program. Given the numerous options for electives (64 courses), we do not anticipate significant increases in enrollments in these classes. With the exception of the Engineering Management electives that can be completed fully online, fully on-campus, or in a blended fashion, all course offerings are currently anticipated to remain traditional, face-to-face offerings. Administrative and Overhead Resources. The College of Engineering will provide administrative staff support and space for the IDGP’s main office. Administrative support includes functions such as financial management, or other non-program specific activities, and overhead expenses such as office space, computing and office supplies, temporary loans, etc. After the initial five-year period of establishing the program, we will consider hiring a Program Administrator capable of coordinating recruitment and admissions; internal coordination of faculty, steering committee, and EAB activity; direct support for student success, including student advising and coordination of orientation, internship, and placement programs; and coordination of alumni activities. Financial Resources. The university will provide one-time startup funds in the amount of $22,850 for administrative expenses. In Years 1 and 2, the university will provide strategic investments of $184,588 and $73,000, respectively, to supplement revenues from the 4+1 and M.S. programs. These commitments are documented in the attached letter of support from the Provost. These revenues will support basic operating costs that will include 12-month salary for one Lecturer, three weeks of summer salary and funds for teaching buyout (one course) for the Program Director, Fellowships and Teaching Assistantships for Ph.D. students, expenses for recruiting M.S. and Ph.D. students, travel funds for seminar speakers (curricular requirement), conference travel scholarships for graduate students, and laboratory instruction costs (maintenance/usage fees for existing equipment, materials, and supplies). It is anticipated that, starting in Year 3, all of these operational costs will be funded entirely with program revenues. The Dean of COE will reinvest 100% of annual MSE IDGP MS program revenue share allocated to the college. This arrangement ensures that there is no financial risk to the University. The attached budget in Form D demonstrates the feasibility and sustainability of the program. Financial commitments from COE will be reviewed after the initial five-year period of establishment of the program, taking into account current and projected growth trends of the student body, and recognizing the need for continued investment in the program’s success.

The primary mission of the MSE IDGP is to enhance materials-related research and innovation at UMass Amherst. At present, the existing programs at UMass Amherst are not sufficient to attract students who are essential for the expansion of MSE research. Thus, the MSE IDGP seeks to recruit high-quality graduate students, provide them with excellent training and mentoring, and ensure their successful transition to careers in MSE, thereby enhancing the University’s recognized strength in materials research. We anticipate that the MSE IDGP would initially enroll approximately 5 Ph.D. students and 10 M.S. students, with steady growth to a program size of approximately 25 Ph.D. students and 20 M.S. students. The steady- state size of the Ph.D. program is estimated based on an annual enrollment of 5 Ph.D. students per year and an average time to completing the Ph.D. degree of 5 years. The size of the M.S. program would be controlled through admissions to ensure academic quality while ensuring sufficient revenue to become financially self- sustaining in three years from inception. The MSE IDGP will be marketed to prospective graduate students, both domestic and international (see Marketing Plan below). By working with the Diversity Programs Office in Engineering to engage partner non-UMass Amherst organizations as well as through direct outreach to local women’s colleges and minority-serving institutions, the MSE IDGP will proactively recruit women and underrepresented minorities (URM), thereby contributing towards building a more diverse and inclusive community at UMass Amherst. The MSE IDGP will support teaching of core courses by providing a pool of Graduate Teaching Assistants drawn from advanced Ph.D. students. A 12-month Lecturer (new hire) will provide additional teaching support. Collectively, these investments by the program will offset any increase in faculty load due to increased enrollments, and ensure smooth and efficient delivery of these courses. Annual coordination of course plans and schedules with MSE-affiliated faculty will ensure that students have access to a sufficient number of electives in each semester. We will monitor student enrollment in elective courses, and solicit feedback from students and faculty to ensure mutual satisfaction with the available course offerings. Growth

13

Institution: University of Massachusetts Amherst Proposed Degree: M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering of the program to the target size of 40-45 students will allow faculty to offer specialized graduate courses regularly with adequate enrollments. The MSE IDGP will reinvest a large fraction of its revenues towards first-year fellowships for all incoming Ph.D. students. Apart from serving as a recruitment incentive for attracting high-caliber students to the program, these fellowships, supplemented by research grants, will play an important role in assuring multi- year support for Ph.D. students in the program. By investing in student–faculty research, the MSE IDGP will benefit research productivity and seed the growth of sponsored research funding through new collaborations; this will, in turn, bring financial return to participating colleges and departments, and aid in future recruitment of outstanding faculty and students. The MSE IDGP will leverage several programs at UMass Amherst for supporting student career placements, for example, through the Engineering Career Development and Experiential Learning Center, the UMass Innovation Institute, and the Office of the Associate Provost for Career and Professional Development. We will engage UMass Amherst alumni in academia and industry, e.g., by bringing them to campus for regular visits and/or seminars, to support the career development and success of our graduate students. As the alumni base of the program grows with time, we will also create other opportunities such as industrial visits and shadowing MSE alumni that will allow students to gain added exposure to career options and to improve their placement opportunities. The EAB will provide yet another avenue for promoting our students to industrial partners and other potential employers. Student placements will be tracked through alumni surveys and feedback regarding the synergies or gaps between their academic training, and job requirements will be considered to continuously improve the program. Several UMass Amherst alumni are already employed in leading MSE-related companies. The MSE IDGP will seek to proactively engage UMass alumni in these companies, e.g., through biannual “Alumni Days” campus visits, and forge strong relationships with them to support the success of our graduate students and our program. In addition, we will work with the UMass Alumni Association to create a professional MSE network so that MSE students can develop personal mentor–mentee relationships as part of their Individual Mentoring Plan. Such networking with and feedback from alumni will provide program graduates with prestigious employment opportunities while being responsive to the varying needs for career development in the evolving job market. The MSE IDGP is envisioned as a virtuous cycle whereby program revenues are reinvested both into the university as well as into the students and faculty involved in MSE education and research. By ensuring the financial sustainability of the program, reinvesting program revenue into student and faculty support, and by raising the profile of MSE teaching and research, the MSE IDGP will offer faculty a welcoming and productive intellectual environment. The program will work actively with faculty to ensure steady progress towards these goals by soliciting informal (e.g., faculty retreats) and formal (e.g., the Annual Faculty Survey) feedback on program operations. Progress towards programmatic goals will be tracked and reported through the MSE IDGP Annual Report, which will include survey and financial results, as well as information about the impact of all research, teaching, and outreach activities supported through the program.

FAST TRACK PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT RESOND TO QUESTION 8

8. QUESTION FOR PROPOSALS SUBMITTED FOR STANDARD REVIEW AND BHE VOTE:

Describe the facts and details of the Letter of Intent (LOI) that resulted in a referral to the Standard review process. Provide details of how the proposed program has addressed the concerns of the BHE. Please be sure to respond directly to the commentary and feedback provided during the AAC meeting when the LOI was brought forward. Enter Text Here

II. Administration of the Proposed Program

Program Budget. Submit a line item projected income and expense budget for the proposed program for five years using Form D, “Proposed Program Budget.” This may be the same as or a revision of the budget provided as part of the LOI submission. Reallocated funds should specify reallocations from existing campus resources to support the proposed program, including funds reallocated from discontinued or downsized programs. Indicate one-time/start-up costs and revenues.

Budget Narrative. Explain assumptions, underlying expense and income projections on Form D, e.g., instructor status, enrollment projections, field and clinical resources, etc. Provide further details to what was included in the LOI. Note any and all changes made as a result of the local governance and external review processes. The MSE IDGP has developed a financial model for securing access to faculty and instructional resources without increasing permanent expenditures. Following a modest strategic investment from UMass Amherst in Years 1 and 2, the proposed MSE IDGP will be entirely self-sustaining, funded by revenues from the 4+1 and M.S. programs. A significant portion of degree revenues will be reinvested in the research programs of affiliated faculty through Ph.D. fellowships and Teaching Assistantships, which will also enable us to attract top-tier students to the program by assuring multi-year financial support. Our intention is to provide all incoming Ph.D. students with fellowship support in their first two semesters; thus, the annual intake of Ph.D. students will be closely tied to the corresponding enrollment in the paying M.S. degree program. Administrative Support. The College of Engineering will provide administrative staff support and space for the IDGP’s main office; these expenses are not part of the IDGP’s operational costs. The IDGP program staff and the Lecturer, whose job description will include part-time administrative responsibilities, will provide support for the following functions: coordination of student marketing, recruitment, and admissions; direct support for student success, including student advising and coordination of student orientation, internships, and career placement programs; and coordination of program activities with external audiences. In the first two years of the program, the Lecturer’s (12-month) salary and fringe will be covered through a combination of strategic investment funds and program revenue; starting in the third year, these costs will be covered entirely through program revenue.

15

Institution: University of Massachusetts Amherst Proposed Degree: M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering

Faculty. All core and elective courses will be taught by existing faculty members with expertise in MSE and by one Lecturer (new hire). Additional tenure-track faculty members are not required to initiate the program. The new 12-month Lecturer position will be filled prior to the inception of the program to provide additional teaching resources and assist with the administration of the IDGP. Program revenues will support one full- time Graduate Teaching Assistant per core course (i.e., two TA lines in total per year) to offset any increase in faculty load due to increased enrollments. Tuition Revenue and Funding. The university will provide one-time startup funds in the amount of $22,850 for administrative expenses. In Years 1 and 2, the university will provide strategic investments of $184,588 and $73,000, respectively, to supplement revenues from the 4+1 and M.S. programs. These revenues will support basic operating costs that include the 12-month salary for one Lecturer, three weeks of summer salary and funds for teaching buyout (one course) for the Program Director, Fellowships and Teaching Assistantships for Ph.D. students, expenses for recruiting M.S. and Ph.D. students, travel funds for seminar speakers (curricular requirement), conference travel scholarships for graduate students, and laboratory costs (maintenance/usage fees for existing equipment and supplies that will be used for laboratory courses). Starting in Year 3, all of these operational costs will be funded entirely by new graduate tuition revenue. The Dean of COE will reinvest 100% of annual MSE IDGP M.S. program revenue share allocated to the college. This arrangement ensures that there is virtually no financial risk to the University. Financial commitments from COE will be reviewed after the initial five-year period of establishment of the program, taking into account current and projected growth trends of the student body, and recognizing the need for continued investment in the program’s success. At present, revenue estimates are based only on projected 4+1 and M.S. tuition income. However, we will seek to raise additional funds by working with the COE and University Development Offices to identify potential external donors and corporate sponsors. Ph.D. students will also be encouraged and trained (e.g., through peer-mentoring groups and writing workshops) to apply for competitive internal and external (federal agency) fellowships that provide multi-year support.

Marketing Plan. Describe the institution's marketing plan, including timelines for the proposed program. Expenses associated with this plan should be clearly described in the program budget. Our marketing plan program relies on a combination of in-person contact, and print and social media to reach our student markets. Initially, we expect to attract students through targeted outreach to current students at UMass Amherst and within the Five-College system, students at other regional universities, and to international students at alma maters of several of our MSE-affiliated faculty. The accelerated M.S. (4+1) program will be marketed to UMass Amherst undergraduates, starting in their freshman year, such that their senior-year program of study can be tailored to accommodate MSE core courses or electives. Our plans include visits to selected classes, advertising information at selected campus events, working with advisors in COE and the Honors College, and offering a fast-track process for UMass and Five-College students with GPAs over 3.5 for admission to the program. In addition to participating in recruiting events organized by UMass Amherst at national conferences for underrepresented minorities in STEM, we will also participate in recruitment events at premiere MSE research conferences (e.g., Materials Research Society, American Chemical Society, American Physical Society, Minerals, Metals and Materials Society) to attract outstanding graduate students to our program. Augmenting UMass Amherst Graduate School’s application fee waivers for historically underrepresented groups in STEM, the MSE IDGP will also provide additional waivers to outstanding applicants.

16

Institution: University of Massachusetts Amherst Proposed Degree: M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering

As the program grows in size and reputation, we will seek to establish federally-funded REU Site programs to offer formative research experiences for outstanding undergraduate students in MSE-faculty labs, and recruit them for graduate studies. The growth of our alumni base will provide further opportunities to advertise our program and attract high-quality applicants from a wider range of backgrounds. We expect the M.S. degree to be attractive to international students as it will likely qualify for the two-year STEM OPT extension program, allowing students to live and work in the US for a total of three years after degree completion.

uses vapor coating techniques to imperceptibly transform mass-produced threads and textiles, such as cotton, silk, nylon and wool, into electronic components. Some of the technologies realized by her lab include: loose-fitting garments for motion, posture and physiological sensing; textile triboelectric generators that convert small body motions into stored energy; fabric thermometers for wearable temperature monitoring; textile thermoelectric generators for powering small electronics using body heat; and humidity-responsive face masks for respiration monitoring and breath analysis. Trisha co-founded a startup company, Soliyarn LLC, based on research conducted in her lab.

Areas of Research: The Jentoft Group conducts research to gain fundamental understanding of catalytic processes on surfaces and develops and investigates catalytic materials. Catalytic processes of interest can be broadly classified as acid-base catalysis and reductive chemistries. The group has expertise in catalyst synthesis, catalytic tests, characterization of surface sites, and spectroscopy of working catalysts, that is, spectroscopy at the solid–vapor or solid–liquid interface at relevant temperatures and pressures. The main analytical methods are UV–vis spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and thermal analysis as applied to inorganic solids, and chromatography and mass spectrometry as applied to gaseous and liquid samples.

Areas of Research: My group's general interests lie at the nexus of micro/nanoengineering, stem cell biology, vascular biology, tissue engineering and mechanobiology. Currently, we focus on developing innovative platforms to understand functional roles of biomechanical factors in the context of development and diseases at organ, tissue, cellular and molecular scales. We aim to understand and harness the material-cell interactions and develop synthetic micro/nanoscale ex vivo cell microenvironment to direct cell behaviors. These systems are employed to identify the extrinsic physical factors and their downstream signaling pathways that regulate stem cell functions.

Areas of Research: I am interested in understanding various liquid crystalline (LC) materials, both in and out of equilibrium state. The in-equilibrium LCs include novel water-based materials, such as molecular assemblies, colloidal particles, and nano-sheets. The focus is to understand how microscopic features determines the macroscopic material properties, such as their anisotropic viscosities and elasticities. The out-of-equilibrium LCs are mixtures of water-based LCs with self-propelling micro particles, such as bacteria. The injection of energy leads to fascinating phenomena not possible in conventional materials and can potentially open doors for exciting applications.
