  1. Faculty of Engineering Move Fast….. ………Think Faster

  2. Bonding • Glass Drummond • Learned Societies • IP Provider • ‘O’ Level Physics • R2I

  3. Brief History of Faculty • First Courses started 1920s • First Graduates 1961 (It didn’t take 41 years) • Early research culture ~Tech Transfers ( e.g., dental filings-Materials) • Dominant Undergraduate culture in the post-sputnik era with pockets of research • Strong research culture over last 10 years and growing intensity with ‘Pinnacle’ strategy.

  4. The Windsor Experiment • Worldworld Benchmarking by a University-Industry-Government Group mid-1990s. • Lead to establishment of ARDC, 3 Industrial Research Chairs and Auto Engg program by 1999. • College-University-Industry Networks and Strategic Partnerships

  5. Thrust of the Windsor Experiment • To make Windsor the Intellectual Capital of Canada’s Auto Sector • To develop a knowledge-based economy based on education, research, creativity and innovation • To seek synergistic win-win relationships between Universities and Industry

  6. Present Strategic Thrust “The automotive sector is the single largest component of Canada’s manufacturing GDP and accounts for one of every seven Canadian jobs. The importance of automotive electronics that are dependent on microsystems is growing exponentially. Building Canadian R&D strength in microsystems will increase the number of high value jobs that offer potential for wealth creation in Canada and represents a significant opportunity to gain market share from other global competitors.” John Mann, Director of Engineering & Regulatory Affairs, DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc.

  7. Implications For Faculty Powertrain components, safety systems, environmental systems, pollution control, navigation, collision avoidance systems and multimedia systems depend on microsystems. FASTER, BETTER, CHEAPER

  8. Research Centres & Chairs • Research Centre for Integrated Microsystems • Signal and Information Group • Intelligent Manufacturing Systems Centre • Clean Diesel Technology Group • NSERC-Ford-Nemark Chair in Lightweight Metal Casting • NSERC-GM Chair in Tribology of Lightweight Materials • NSERC-DCCI Chair in Alternative Fuels • NSERC-DCCI Chair in Mechanical Design • CRC Chairs I Intelligent Manufacturing, Clean Diesel Technology, Metal forming and Hydroforming, Environmental Hydrology, Cars and Computers • Centre for Automotive Research and Education • UWin-DCCI Automotive Research and Development Centre (ARDC) • UWin-ITEC Centre for Innovation & Diesel Centre • Ford-Uwin Powertrain and NVH Research and Development Centre

  9. Working with the auto industry to developthe best people and the best technology for the future of the automotive sector www.auto21.ca www.nce.gc.ca

  10. Member Institutions (Examples)

  11. PARTNERSHIPS (examples)

  12. RESEARCH THEMES Design Processes Materials & Manufacturing Links to Other Organizations Intelligent Systems & Sensors Societal Issues Health Safety & Injury Prevention Powertrains Fuels & Emissions

  13. Funding • Research Council – e.g., NSERC • Networks – e.g., AUTO21, CMC • Industrial Partnerships • Industrial and Government Contracts Engineering is heavily reliant on Industrial funding and support

  14. Strategic Research & Competitive Perspectives (NSERC Discovery)

  15. NOT JUST AUTO

  16. Civil, Microelectronics, Nanomaterials etc.,

  17. Research Centre for Integrated Microelectronics ( former VLSI Labs) Microelectronics, including the design of custom analog and digital integrated circuits for: Microsystem IP Core Design and Implementation System-On-Chip Designs and Embedded Systems Computer Arithmetic (DBNS/MDLNS) Digital Signal Processing for Hearing Aids High Resolution Analog-to-Digital Conversion Digital Filters Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), including: Acousto-Magnetic Transducers Capacitive Microphones and Acoustic Sensor Arrays Sensors and Filters Optical Switching MEMS

  18. RCIM Partners Agencies: Canadian Microelectronics Corporation (CMC) Natural Sciences and Research Council of Canada (NSERC) - Website Strategic Microelectronics Consortium (SMC) Centres: Micronet R &D (a Federal Network of Centres of Excellence) - Industry: Cadence Xilinx Mentor Graphics Synopsis Dalsa Inc. Gennum Corporation

  19. RCIM Comparative Success Dr Ahmadi – Director – top 5% of NSERC $51,000 p.a Dr Miller –Emeritus - $38,500 Dr Chowdhury – Assist Prof - $39,000 ( selected for 86% increase) Paper Awards etc.

  20. ECE-Similar Size Institutions • UWin - $23,491 • Guelph - $20,463 • UOIT - $20,000 • Western Ontario - $18,920

  21. Civil & Environmental (CEE) • Structures to wastewater, LCA to Biotech. • Structures & Water – largest groups, 6-8 • 3 of the top 5% NSERC researchers • CRC – Environmental • NFA – LCA • Funding from NSERC, AUTO21, MMO and Industry • Members of the Biotech Network

  22. CEE- How do they stack up? • National NSERC Average $25,308 p.a • Ontario Average $25,145 p.a • UWindsor CEE $27,902 p.a • UWin largest individual $59,000 p.a

  23. CEE in Ontario Schools with over 10 researchers

  24. Materials Group • 3 Current Chairs • Tribology • Aluminum Casting (Saved Ford’s $100M) • Nanomaterials • Micro/nano crystals • 3 Graduate programs

  25. Materials – Tech Transfer example. We are pleased to announce the development of a unique research instrument known as the Universal Metallurgical Simulator and Analyzer (UMSA). This device provides unique physical thermal process simulation and analytical capabilities to the academic and industrial metal casting communities. The inventors of the UMSA are currently making the device available for contract research and are also prepared to design and manufacture customized systems for specialized applications.

  26. Research Collage

  27. Time to Stop “It looks different when you’re sober. I thought I had twice as many slides”. Neil Simon, the Gingerbread Lady (1972) – modified.
