The School strives to serve the needs of the greater Silicon Valley region and the State of California by creating and disseminating knowledge through research and teaching, and by offering curricula that nurtures creative thinking and prepares our students for productive careers at industrial and academic settings in rapidly evolving areas of science and engineering. 3 Baskin School of Engineering Long Range Plan 2001-2011 Table 1 Engineering Faculty at a Glance in 2011 Department or Program Ladder Rank Faculty Applied Mathematics & Statistics 17 Applied Mathematics - BS, MS, PhD Statistics/Envirometrics - BS, MS, PhD Biomolecular Engineering 14 Bioinformatics - BS, MS, PhD Biomolecular Engineering - BS, MS, PhD Computer Engineering 27 Computer Engineering - BS, MS, PhD Network Engineering - MS Computer Science 37 Computer Science - BA, BS, MS, PhD Software Engineering - MS Web and Internet Engineering - MAS Electrical Engineering 21 Electrical Engineering - BS, MS, PhD Environmental Engineering - BS, MS, PhD Multidisciplinary Engineering Programs 10 Information Systems Management - BS Information Systems and Technology Management - MS, PhD Total Ladder Rank Faculty 126 4 Baskin School of Engineering Long Range Plan 2001-2011 Table 2 Baskin School of Engineering at a Glance 2000-01 2005-06 2010-11 Faculty FTE Ladder Faculty 59 103 126 Lecturers/Adjuncts 6 14 3 Research Scientists21839 Enrollment - FTE Undergradute 758 1,414 1,535 Graduate 131 462 696 Total FTE 889 1,876 2,231 Majors - Headcount Undergraduate 952 1,735 1,990 Graduate 137 510 773 Total Majors 1,089 2,245 2,763 Workload Ratio 20.0 16.9 17.7 Total Awards (in millions) $5.0 $24.5 $36.1 Total Expenditures (in millions) $3.7 $24.2 $36.8 Indirect Cost Recovery (in millions) $0.74 $4.36 $8.09 GSRs (quarters) 130 722 970 Teaching Assts (quarters) 101 192 208 Teaching Assistant FTE 16.8 32.1 34.9 Campus Fellowships (quarters) 16 80 120 Student/TA Ratio 45.0 44.0 44.0 Staff Technical 12 20 22 Administrative 27 55 64 5 Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY LONG-RANGE PLAN: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND HIGHLIGHTS BASKIN SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING, UC SANTA CRUZ The mission of the Jack Baskin School of Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz is to develop and sustain first-rate education and research programs that integrate the fundamental principles and sound practice of science and engineering. The School strives to serve the needs of the greater Silicon Valley region and the State of California by creating and disseminating knowledge through research and teaching, and by offering curricula that nurtures creative thinking and prepares our students for productive careers at industrial and academic settings in rapidly evolving areas of science and engineering. In the next decade, the School of Engineering will be a distinctive knowledge creator and educator in its chosen fields. We will provide an excellent education for all students, regardless of major, so the campus’s graduates become contributing citizens in a high technology society. Now in its fourth year, the School of Engineering has reached many significant milestones. The School’s reputation and visibility have risen nationwide. The student enrollment has doubled and the School now has 49 faculty members, almost doubling the faculty size in 1997. Over the next 10 years, the School will continually raise its reputation and impact while more than doubling its enrollment. By 2011, the School plans to educate approximately 15% of the campus’s students, a total of 2,231 FTE students comprising of 1,535 undergraduate majors and 696 graduate students with 126 faculty members. In November 2001, in its Monthly Labor Review, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projected that by 2010, there will be 168 million jobs in the United States, an increase of 15% over the year 2000. However, the School of Engineering is preparing students to enter a more robust job market than the average. According to the survey, "Computer and mathematical occupations are projected to add the most jobs, and grow the fastest among the eight professional and related occupations subgroups. The demand for computer-related occupations will continue to increase as a result of the rapid advances in computer technology and continuing demand for new computer applications." In fact, of the 30 fastest growing occupations of all types between 2000 and 2010, BLS lists eight occupations for which UCSC graduates are educated (including the planned Information Systems and Technology Management program). Of the eight occupations, the single highest rate of growth for a particular occupation is Computer Software Applications Engineer which is forecasted to grow by 100% and the lowest is 40% for Computer and Information Research Scientist. All jobs are in the highest quartile of salaries. Even with 126 ladder rank faculty members, the Baskin School of Engineering will remain small compared to our counterparts at other UC campuses. However, we have a unique opportunity due to our regional advantages to develop a truly distinctive School of Engineering that is committed to excellence and uniquely tailored to promote technological innovation to meet the grand challenges of our nation. Our goal is to develop a school that stands out in every aspect of teaching, research, and service to the profession. We shall provide Impact of the highest Quality (IQ) with FIRST-rate faculty, 6 Executive Summary who are Forward-looking and frontiering, Innovative and impacting through excellence in Research, Service and Teaching. To achieve this goal, the School must recruit excellent and visionary faculty and staff, in the face of the enormous challenges in offering competitive salaries. We plan to pursue strategic “target of excellence” (TOE) hires and recruit eminent scholars who are of the caliber of national academy members. Senior leadership is a critical requirement for starting new programs, and we will strive to attract renowned candidates to ensure our success in our target areas of excellence (see page 5). In the past year, we were successful in recruiting a senior leader in computer security, Professor Martin Abadi, under the TOE program. TOE hires are critical for establishing key strategic areas such as nanotechnology, biomolecular engineering, and information systems and technology management. The School of Engineering is committed to building interdisciplinary programs across divisional boundaries, linking to other divisions and colleges at UCSC and UCSC Extension. We envision campus-wide benefits as the joint research collaborations grow. In particular, we plan to develop and offer joint degree programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels with departments in the Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts divisions. Examples include Environmental Engineering (with the Institute for Innovation in Environmental Research in collaboration with Natural Sciences, Humanities, and Social Sciences), Biomolecular Engineering (with MCD Biology,
