The College of Engineeringat Iowa State

• A team working together to be the leader and make
  international impact in all we do.
• Step up to the plate.
• What does it take to be the best?

3

• The accuracy and power of thought to dominate our
  fields.

4

• The speed and cunning
• to evade obstacles.

5

• The reputation of getting the job done
• year after year.

6

• The innovativeness to develop
• and apply new technologies.

7

• The inclusiveness of diversity in all forms.

8
The experience and wisdom to make wise decisions.
9
Sometimes you have to persevere to make your
point...
10

• and sometimes you just
• have to hope a miracle occurs.

11
Taking risks is part of the game, even though we
may not always win. But with taking risks comes
learning
12
and with that learning comes accomplishment,
making an international impact, and meeting our
goals.

The Systems Approach to Engineering

• Contemporary challengesfrom biomedical devices
  to complex manufacturing designs to large systems
  of networked devicesincreasingly require a
  systems perspective.
• The systems perspectivelooks to achieve
  synergyamong diverse components.Hence, there is
  a need for greater breadth so that broader
  requirements can be addressed.

18
Engineers and Public Policy

• As technology becomes increasingly engrained into
  every facet of our lives, the convergence between
  engineering and public policy will also increase.
• This new level of intimacy necessitates that
  engineering (and engineers) develop a stronger
  sense of how technology and public policy
  interact.
