  1. Sensor Technology for Civil and Mechanical Systems (STCMS) Shih-Chi Liu, Program Director sliu@nsf.gov (703) 292-7017

  2. The 4th International Conference of Earthquake Engineering, Taipei, 10/06 Engineering: Culture, Tradition, and Diversity

  3. Teaching Research Practice What Do We Do?

  4. As an Engineer… • What do we do? -- Research, Teaching, and Practice • What is the nature of our work? -- Analysis & Design (> 80%)

  5. Directorate for EngineeringFY 06 Budget Assistant Director Richard Buckius NSF: $5,581.17M ENG: $575.38M Senior Advisor Nanotechnology Mike Roco Bioengineering & Environmental Systems BES Civil & Mechanical Systems CMS Chemical &Transport Systems CTS Bruce Hamilton ($46.53M) Adnan Akay ($80.28M) Geoffrey Prentice, Acting ($63.06M) Office of Industrial Innovation OII (SBIR/STTR) Design & Manufacturing Innovation DMI Electrical &Communications Systems ECS Engineering Education & Centers EEC Kesh Narayanan ($102.87M) Warren DeVries ($58.25M) Usha Varshney ($64.95M) Gary Gabriele ($134.81M)

  6. NSF Operation Guiding Principles: • People • Ideas • Tools

  7. Five Pillars of Scholarship

  8. NSF Earthquake Hazard Mitigation 18.0M 14.0M Newmark NEHRP Report US-Japan Large-Scale Testing Program US-PRC Protocol Annex III US-Taiwan Program Annual Budget 2.0M Loma Prieta 8.0M Northridge San Fernando 0.5M Alaska 1964 72 77 80 91 94 EHM Historical Milestones

  9. New Structural System Design • 1950---Structures Mostly Non-Engineered • 1960---Moment Resisting Frames Shear Walls • 1970---Rigorous Bldg Codes Development for Steel, R/C & Masonry Bldgs • 1980---Braced Frames, Reinforced Masonry • 1990---Precast/Prestressed & Composite/Hybrid Systems • Future—Smart Structures

  10. US-TaiwanCooperation • 1978—US Group Visit (ST Mau & Penzien) Newmark, Clough, Jennings… * Penzien spent one yr at NTU *Feitzui Dam study (Clough/Mau, Penzien) * Kaohsiung Cross-harbor Tunnel (Penzien) * SMART Array (Bolt/Penzien/Tsai/Mau) *Workshops

  11. US-Taiwan Cooperation (Cont) • 1999---Chi-Chi EQ * Int’l WS in Taichun (NSC sponsored) (Liu & 12 US & foreign researchers) * NSF initiated an one-yr initiative * US EQ Engr Centers approached NSC & NCREE to initiate center-to-center research—but not much has happened

  12. When I was Young (1978)

  13. EASTERN & WESTERN CULTURE Family value Individual value Personal level Business manner Traditional Less traditional Verbal Commitment Written contract Sharing of wealth Self-sufficient Long-term gain Short-term gain Balanced Centralized

  14. Balance & Harmony “Shoveling Manure For a Day is an Excellent Counterbalance to Intellectual Work.” -Baruck Blumberg Director, NASA Institute of Astrobiology 1976 Nobel Prize in Medicine

  15. Balance & Harmony Examples of Yin and Yang Shade Sunshine Hidden Exposed Earth Heaven Moon Sun Female Male Inward-looking Outgoing Closed Open

  16. Number Crunching Data Storage Mainframe Minicomputer productivity interactive Workstation PC Laptop PDA Moore’s Law – Revisited We are on the verge of a vast increase in the spatial & temporal fidelity at which we instrument & analyze the physical world. log (people per computer) streaming information to/from physical world 50 60 90 00 10 70 80 year

  17. Sensors & Sensing Systems • Sensing Systems: Sensors & Assoc electronic or optical processing that make the measurement usable • Smart Sensors: Sensors to have self calibrating and self diagnosis capabilities

  20. Sensors and Sensor NetworksInitiative • FY 2003. --$45M • FY 2004 • ~$39M • FY 2005 • -$30M

  21. Program Metrics Proposals # doubled, but funding rate is decreasing.

  22. Opportunity in Sensors Research Sensors for the Detection of Explosives $20 million Credit: Mete Sozen and Julio Ramirez, Purdue University School of Civil Engineering

  23. Future Trends • MULTIPLE HAZARD SOL’Ns • TECHNOLOGY INNOVATIONS --information technology --new materials & new systems --wide use of sensors, actuactors, etc -- autoadaptive media • TRADITIONAL & NONTRADITIONAL APPROACHES

  24. TEACHING • Generous time for students • Continuous curriculum updating • Knowledge transfer across the lines & out of the box • Enable students to search and innovate on his own • Concurrent teaching & learning • Cultivating & mentoring • Creating opportunities enabling students to mature • ……… Bottom Line: How many high-quality students has the teacher graduated?

  25. Who are good teachers here today? • All of you are! In Particular: --Mete Sozen,….. --Tomizuka --Joe Penzien

  26. The Best Teacher Ever? The God--as a teacher He has taught for K’s/M’s of years He has had millions of students all over the world Except a few, most students were loyal to Him He reaches out to students of all geographic locations, all genders, all races, all ages, and rich and poor

  27. WHY GOD NEVER REC’VED TENURE AT ANY UNIVERSITY? He had only one major publication It was in Hebrew It had no reference It wasn’t not published in a refereed journal Some doubt he wrote it Himself He may have created the world, but what has He done since? The scientific community can’t replicate His results

  28. WHY GOD NEVER REC’VED TENURE AT ANY UNIVERSITY? (Cont.) He rarely come to class and just told students: “Read the Book” Some say He has his son teach the class He expelled His first two students His office hours were irregular and sometimes held on a mountaintop Although there were only 10 requirements, most students failed
