Department of Mechanical Engineering DIMENSIONSVolume No. 26 | Issue No. 2 May 2019 Department of Mechanical Engineering Dear alumni and friends, I am excited to share the stories and achievements of our students, faculty, staff and alumni of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Iowa State University. This issue includes stories about: • Our graduate program has climbed up 11 spots compared to last year in the most recent U.S. News and World Report rankings; • ME professor Jim Oliver has been named the inaugural director for the Student Innovation Center; • ME assistant professor Soumik Sarkar is a 2019 winner of the NSF CAREER award…he was among three in the entire College of Engineering to earn this honor this year; • ME associate professor Nicole Hashemi has developed a “placenta-on-a-chip” to study ways that caffeine is passed from the mother to her fetus during pregnancy; • ME professor Xinwei Wang will study film thickness using Raman spectroscopy thanks to funding from the U.S. Department of Defense; • Two ME students discuss how they manage their time between the ME curriculum and their participation on Iowa State’s club soccer team; • An ME alum has started a business where he repurposes old lobster traps by turning them into bicycle baskets and bird feeders. • Longtime ME faculty member Judy Vance retired at the end of the 2018-19 school year, read a feature about her and all of her great accomplishments during her career including a new scholarship named in her honor. This year, 2019, marks the 150th anniversary of the first class of students entering Iowa State, which included ME’s first alum Edgar Stanton. To commemorate this event, we will publish a book which tells our department’s history. We expect to publish the book later this summer, so stay tuned for details on how to order your copy. Our alumni are vital to the growth and success of mechanical engineering and industry in the U.S. and abroad. We enjoy hearing about your accomplishments. Please feel free to reach out and share your story. You can contact us at [email protected].

    ISSUE REVIEW Fiscal Services Division January 8, 2021 Ground Floor, State Capitol Building Des Moines, Iowa 50319 515.281.3566 Board of Regents Facilities ISSUE This Issue Review evaluates academic, research, and administrative facilities operated by the Iowa Board of Regents, and the funding that supports these facilities. This document will review overall budgets, existing deferred maintenance, and a history of capital appropriations. AFFECTED AGENCIES Iowa Board of Regents CODE AUTHORITY Iowa Code chapter 262 Iowa Code chapter 262A FACILITIES BACKGROUND Budgetary support for Regents facilities is set by the Iowa Code and determined by facility use, which falls under the following four definitions: • Academic, Research, and Administrative Buildings: These facilities are supported through the General Education Fund (GEF), Iowa Code chapter 262A. These facilities, the focus of this Issue Review, are typically funded by General Fund appropriations and appropriations from the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund (RIIF). • Residence System: These facilities are under the control of the Board of Regents (Iowa Code section 262.35(3)). These facilities are supported by rents, profits, and incomes arising from these properties. These facilities do not generally receive appropriations. • Self-Supporting Facilities: These facilities are self-liquidating and revenue-producing facilities. Examples include, but are not limited to, student unions, recreational buildings, auditoriums, stadiums, parking facilities, and utilities (Iowa Code section 262.44). These facilities do not generally receive appropriations. • Medical Facilities: These facilities are located at the University of Iowa (UI) and are used primarily for patient care, clinical instruction, and clinical research in the field of medicine (Iowa Code chapter 263A).
