The faculty and staff at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering are recognized for providing excellent educational programs, for conducting leading edge research, and for creating innovative industrial partnerships.
History The University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering has a long and distinguished history. The earliest engineering courses at Pitt were established in response to the growth of Western Pennsylvania during the early industrial revolution, with the first degrees of “Engineer” awarded in 1846, thereby establishing Pitt as the nation’s sixth earliest engineering program. The involvement of Pittsburgh industry in the years surrounding the Civil War transformed a regional industrial base into one with strong international significance, and the University responded to the need. In 1868, specialized degrees in Civil and Mechanical Engineering were initiated, with Mining Engineering following in 1869, and Electrical Engineering in 1890. In 1909, the Department of Metallurgical Engineering was established, followed by the Department of Chemical Engineering and the world’s first Department of Petroleum Engineering in 1910. Also in that year, the School created one of the nation’s first undergraduate Cooperative Education Programs. Pitt Engineering’s tradition of innovative programming resulted in the establishment of one of the nation’s first Industrial Engineering Departments in 1921. The newest department, Bioengineering, was established in 1998. Among the many prominent individuals associated with the early history of the School were Samuel Pierpont Langley and Reginald A. Fessenden. Langley, who is credited with developing the engineering science of aerodynamics during his 24 years at Pitt, designed the first heavier-than-air craft capable of flight and greatly influenced the Wright Brothers. Fessenden, brought to Pittsburgh by George Westinghouse as the first electrical engineering department head, obtained more than 300 patents. Through his pioneering studies with voice transmission, he is now credited with being the “Father of Radio” and made the first broadcast of the human voice in 1906. Throughout the 20th century the School of Engineering continued its growth, moving to a new Engineering Hall in the 1950s. This was also accompanied by the institution of new programs such as international education to strengthen the academic experience of engineering students. As the student population continued to grow, the University developed plans for a larger facility and commissioned the construction of Benedum Hall of Engineering, in honor of a grant from the Benedum Foundation. Benedum Hall was completed in 1971. The 1990s saw the emergence of new centers of excellence which promoted cross-disciplinary infrastructure between departments, as well as the launch of the new bioengineering program and the Center for Biotechnology and Bioengineering at the Pittsburgh Technology Center, on the former site of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Mill Complex in nearby Hazelwood.

21st Century Success In 2007, the School became the Swanson School of Engineering after a landmark event: John A. Swanson (PhD ’66), founder of ANSYS Inc., made the largest individual philanthropic commitment in the history of the University of Pittsburgh at that time. As a result of his remarkable generosity, the Board of Trustees presented a formal resolution on February 29, 2008 and announced the changing of the school’s name to the John A. Swanson School of Engineering. His gift, along with that of John C. “Jack” Mascaro (BSCE '66, MSCE '80), founder and president of Mascaro Construction Company, enabled a multi-year transformation of Benedum Hall into a building with more open labs and “smart” classroom space, enabling greater collaboration between faculty and students. A new three-story annex that connects to Benedum Hall was completed in 2009 and is home to the Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation as well as labs, classrooms and the Bevier Library. Then in 2012 the Swanson School received a $22 million grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation - one of the largest private foundation grants in Pitt’s history. The gift will accelerate the research and education efforts of the Center for Energy, create new faculty positions and graduate fellowships, and establish a fund for spurring innovative research on a newly designated Energy Floor in Benedum Hall. Later in 2012 the Swanson School exceeded its $180 million campaign goal and announced that over $200 million had been reached. The goal was part of the University of Pittsburgh’s comprehensive $2 billion campaign, which was also reached in 2012. The funds will enable the full transformation of the Swanson School of Engineering, both physically and academically, and establish it as one of the leading engineering programs in the world.

Swanson School of Engineering Special Academic Programs Freshman Engineering Academic Program – Integrated Curriculum The School of Engineering’s Freshman Engineering Academic Program consists of a welldesigned series of integrated courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics and engineering. All engineering freshman pursue this common, integrated core, which includes an honors component for the most academically gifted students. The two specially designed engineering courses (ENGR 0011 and 0012) not only introduce students to basic engineering skills and problem formulation and solving methodologies, but also provide an overview of the various engineering disciplines. A unique aspect of the program is the integration of instructors from the English Writing Center and the School of Engineering Bevier Library staff into the freshman coursework. As a result, students complete two major writing projects, a first semester paper describing in-depth an area of engineering that the student is interested in as a possible major and a second semester paper that is part of the professionally run Annual Freshman Engineering Conference, in which all of freshman engineering students participate. This later paper must be on a relevant engineering topic and include a discussion about sustainability. Student papers are arranged into sessions chaired by professional engineers. Session chairs meet with the students during the semester, critiquing the developing papers and offering suggestions for improvement. Freshman engineering students also participate in a two-term engineering seminar (ENGR 0081 and 0082), conducted in part by upper class peer advisors. These seminars provide general information on the transition to college, the improvement of study skills, and an overview of the various engineering fields. Moreover, students are given several opportunities to visit the various programs to discuss with faculty their anticipated program of study. Besides these opportunities, the Freshman Engineering Program office provides career and academic advising, workshops, and assistance with the Engineering Living Learning Community (Students Planning Academic Careers in Engineering (aka SPACE) – within Forbes Hall. Special programming is also conducted in Sutherland Hall – the LLC for first year honors students. Honors Options A selected number of outstanding students are offered the opportunity to take ENGR 0711 instead of ENGR 0011 during the Fall Term. This accelerated course covers the two-course sequence in one term, enabling students to choose from two special courses in the Spring Term: • ENGR 0712 provides an opportunity to learn mathematical modeling and research methodologies with one of the School’s most distinguished faculty • ENGR 0715 provides students with an opportunity to apply engineering methodologies in a service learning environment with local organizations. ENGR 0715 Engineering Applications for Society is a unique, rewarding learning experience for freshman engineering students who have completed the prerequisite ENGR 0711 Honors Engineering Analysis and Computing Fall semester course. The course provides a “Service Learning” experience through which students learn and develop valuable skills necessary to succeed as an engineer by solving a real problem of value to a local community organization.

The goal for this course is to create a win-win experience for both the students and the community organizations. In return for their participation in the students’ educational process, the community organizations benefit by having a problem of value addressed or “solved” by the students. Not only are the students rewarded by the satisfaction of solving a real problem of value to their community, but through this experience they learn many personal and professional skills that cannot be learned in a traditional engineering curriculum. In particular, they learn that solving problems as an engineering professional truly involves more than the equations learned in classrooms where the answers can be found at the end of a book. International Program The Swanson School of Engineering has been one of the first engineering programs in the country to recognize the increasingly international dimensions of engineering practice. To us, this not only means that a large proportion of our graduates must be prepared for overseas assignments, some of which may be of long duration, but it also means that a substantial portion of engineering work will continue to be sent offshore to technically competent engineering graduates who demand salaries that are considerably less than current US salaries. The implication is clear – US engineering education will have to change if our graduates are to remain competitive in the market place and bring value beyond their technical skills. Consequently, a major long-range objective has been to create a broad, coordinated program of international opportunities for our students that enable them to learn to work as engineers in cross-cultural environments. This suggests creating a variety of courses and exchanges, including some in which Pitt engineering students join international students in design projects working both virtually and on-site. Swanson School students have the option to choose to study abroad for a semester, a summer, or as part of a short-term program (of three weeks or less), as well as to participate in an international research experience, internship, or service learning project. Much of our success is due to the Swanson School partnering with the International Business Center and the College of Business Administration. We have also worked closely with the University Center for International Studies (UCIS), its area studies centers, and especially the University’s Study Abroad Office. These partnerships have resulted in several successful initiatives, several of which are outlined below: The Plus3 Program - The “Plus 3” program is for rising sophomores. It builds upon material covered in Managing Complex Environments for CBA students and ENGR 12 for engineering students. The School of Engineering has participated actively for the past several years, sending both faculty and students abroad. The three-credit course begins with four preparatory class sessions in March and April, followed by a two-week study trip in early May, then ends with each student team presenting a final report in early September. During the two-week trip, business and engineering students work in teams as they make a number of company visits and prepare a report on a particular industry. Pitt students also have an opportunity to interact with local students, hear guest lectures and make several cultural visits while in the host country. Each trip is led by a faculty member accompanied by a support staff from Engineering, the College of Business Administration, or the University Center for International Studies (UCIS). The Plus3 program aims to cultivate interest in foreign language study and future study abroad. This is particularly important for engineering students, as the discipline has traditionally been less wellrepresented due to time constraints imposed by strict curriculum requirements. The Plus3 model has been so successful that the University of Pittsburgh has adopted it to create “Integrated Field Trips Abroad,” now a component of courses across the university curriculum. The Plus3 Program received the 2005 Institute for International Education’s Heiskell Award for innovation in study abroad.

Engineering for a Better Environment Brazil – this short-term program is offered to students who have an interest in renewable energy. The program, which is offered as a three credit course at Pitt, introduces students to various forms of green energy in Brazil. Engineering in the Americas Before Columbus: Cusco, Peru – this short-term program is offered to students with an interest in structures. The program, offered as a three credit course at Pitt, brings students to Cusco, Peru to study sites from the Incan culture and to work directly with a local community to address a technical issue relating to structures. Engineering and Business Collaborations in India – this program is offered to students interested in learning more about management issues within the context of the Indian environment. It is offered as a three credit course. The program introduces students to real-world management, technical and other issues that are facing many well-known Indian and global corporations, and includes lectures led by industry leaders who are facing many challenges in the current global economic climate. Undergraduate Student Exchange with the Universidad De Montevideo – this is the first of a series of upper level IFTA courses that are being created for Engineering and Business students. A special four credit, three-week course on “Global Supply Networks and Manufacturing Cultures in Latin America” was developed by colleagues at the Universidad De Montevideo. It provides participants with an understanding of international supply chain operations with a special focus on Latin American and Uruguay. The two-week study visit to Uruguay enables students to place their understanding of those concepts within an international, cross-cultural context. INNOVATE (International Technology, Innovation and Leadership Conference) – this program was created by Rice University and IAESTE in 2004. This past year we joined as a sponsor and have created a special course, ENGR 1600, in conjunction with the INNOVATE Symposium. This tenday study trip for a large group of US students and several international students in early March visited several countries in Asia. The Symposium addressed how technology has driven globalization and business decision-making. The ENGR 1600 course was taught as a collaborative effort between Pitt and Rice University using video conferencing. It was divided into three sections: the pre- and post-trip phases and the actual trip. Prior to the trip, the course focused on topics related to Asian countries and globalization, with guest speakers drawn from Asian Studies and Rice’s Baker Institute. These lectures provided the basis for comparative discussion and analysis. Topics included: leadership, technology trends, history and politics, economics, contemporary culture and demographics, and specific analysis of different business sectors. After returning, students documented their experience, through an end-ofsemester formal paper and presentation at the annual Alumni Dinner. Internship and Exchange opportunities in Germany The University signed an exchange agreement the UAS-7 Consortium – seven Germany universities (Berlin School of Economics, Bremen University of Applied Sciences, Cologne University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Munich University of Applied Sciences, Münster University of Applied Sciences, Osenabrück University of Applied Sciences) whose core academic strength is their engineering/technical degree programs. The agreement allows for the exchange of students from the UAS-7 universities and the University of Pittsburgh for study and internship experience. As part of this exchange agreement, SSOE undergraduate students can be selected to participate in the UAS-7 Consortium’s “Study and Internship Program (SIP) in Germany” Program. Selected students spend the fall semester taking courses at one of the Universities of Applied Sciences, and spend the spring semester doing a full-time internship at a German organization that is arranged by their host university. Students in the SIP program receive substantial funding from Germany to participate in this program.

The chapter also proposes and implements multiple smaller on-campus projects every year, including Pitt's inter-dorm energy reduction competition and a rain garden at the Petersen Events Center. Engineers for Sustainable Medical Development (ESMD) - is a multi-disciplinary, multischool student-run organization comprised of students in the fields of engineering, pre-medicine, and business. ESMD is directed toward providing students with the skills and resources necessary to design and implement novel, low-cost healthcare technology and processes suitable for markets on a global scale. Currently a student design team is working on design of a portable ocular microscopy mount in conjunction with a larger project at the Ear and Eye Institute that is funded by the Coulter Program. ESMD holds weekly workshops to teach skills such as SolidWorks design, soldering, and working with microprocessors. ESMD volunteers also help to refurbish wheelchairs weekly at Global Links, an NGO with operations and contacts throughout Central America. EMSD is working with Global Links to create an international immersion experience that would provide EMSD members with an opportunity to work directly with health care providers in developing countries. Cooperative Education Program (Co-Op) For the second straight year, the co-op program saw a significant growth spurt in its number of participants. We went from 743 active students to 812, a 9.28% increase from 2010-2011. There were 308 students who accepted initial co-op position offers throughout the year; that was a slight decrease from the 314 new students from the previous year. The program also showed a slight increase in the diversity of our student participants, and an increase in the number of female co-ops from the previous year. We completed the first full year of our graduate level program, and had 15 students who participated; a total of 797 undergraduates participated.
12
The post-graduate survey found that 51% of the co-ops received full-time offers from their companies, and 81% of those students accepted those offers. The average starting salary for a co-op who graduated and entered the work force was $58,665. The average GPA of a graduate who participated in co-op was 3.272. The survey found a 96% placement of the co-op engineering graduates, based on a 97% response rate. There was 100% placement among the computer science co-op graduates, computer engineering graduates, chemical engineering graduates, and industrial engineering graduates who responded to the survey. The Co-op Employer of the Year for 2011 was First Energy, a long-time supporter of the Swanson School of Engineering and co-op program. Their very well organized and defined program has benefitted a number of our students. The Co-op Student of the Year was Ben Dunkelberger. Ben was enthusiastically nominated by his employer, Steve Mankevich of GE Energy. Ben’s outstanding work performance earned him a trip to England to head an engineering project. He was also very involved with the University’s Newman Center as well as several volunteer efforts in addition to his outstanding academic achievement. The Co-op Programs goals for the 2012-2013 year include increasing the number of student and employer participants while retaining the quality of the program. Sustainable Engineering Undergraduate Research Program through Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation The Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation (MCSI) is a center of excellence in sustainable engineering focusing on the design of sustainable neighborhoods. MCSI encourages and nurtures new collaborative projects based on strong and innovative research, translating the fundamental science of sustainability into real products processes. Our goal is to create innovations that positively impact the environment and improve quality of life. Our research includes projects on greening the built environment, increasing sustainable use of water, and designing distributed power systems. MCSI currently offers two summer undergraduate research programs- International Research Experience for Students (IRES) and Undergraduate Research Program (URP). IRES, funded by the National Science Foundation, is a program that creates an innovative research experience in sustainable design for a select group of undergraduate engineering students. The students participate in a 12-week summer internship as a part of a research team. The teams are co-led by faculty from the University of Pittsburgh and faculty from Brazil. They spend four preparatory weeks in Pittsburgh before traveling to Brazil to spend the four weeks in residence at UNICAMP in Brazil. They return to spend the final four weeks in Pittsburgh. Undergraduate Research Program (URP) is an internally supported program aimed at providing talented students with creative opportunities that go beyond the engineering classroom curriculum and enables students to develop their own ideas and work independently on hands-on research projects in sustainable engineering with advice and guidance from a faculty mentor. Pitt Engineering Career Access Program (PECAP) The Pitt Engineering Career Access Program (PECAP) is designed to develop and implement programs that promote and support the academic excellence of high achieving pre-college and undergraduate students from groups traditionally underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. PECAP includes a pre-college component, INVESTING NOW, and a college component, the Pitt EXCEL Program. These two initiatives provide a continuous pipeline for
13
students from groups traditionally underrepresented to prepare for, enter and graduate from the University of Pittsburgh as STEM majors. PECAP – INVESTING NOW Created in 1988, INVESTING NOW is a college preparatory program designed to stimulate, support and recognize the high academic performance of pre-college students from groups that are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors and careers. The purpose of the program is to ensure that participants are well prepared for matriculation at the University of Pittsburgh. The primary goals are to: 1) create a pipeline for well-prepared students to enter college and pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics majors; 2) encourage and support students’ enrollment and achievement in advanced mathematics and science courses; 3) ensure that the participants make informed college choices; 4) support and encourage parents in their roles as advocates for their children; and 5) coordinate partnerships between the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering and local and regional schools. INVESTING NOW recruitment, which focuses on eighth grade students, takes place in the spring of each academic year. However, membership involves a student commitment to attend year-round programming from ninth through twelfth grade. Some of the student activities include academic advising, tutoring, hands-on science and engineering workshops, college planning sessions, summer enrichment classes and SAT preparation. Approximately 200 students participated in the INVESTING NOW program during the 2011-2012 academic year. In 2012, 17 INVESTING NOW students graduated from high school. 6% of those students currently attend the University of Pittsburgh main campus. 94% of the graduating class enrolled in college for 2012-2013. In addition, 76% of the students are majoring in science, technology, engineering or mathematics fields at various colleges and universities. PECAP-Pitt EXCEL Program Pitt EXCEL is a comprehensive program committed to the recruitment, retention and graduation of academically excellent undergraduates, particularly individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field. Program activities include academic counseling, tutor and study sessions, engineering research and mentoring opportunities, graduate school preparation and career development workshops, as well as a two-week intensive chemistry, math, physics and study skills review session for pre-freshmen entitled the Summer Engineering Academy. Brief descriptions of the major programs sponsored by Pitt EXCEL are highlighted below: Summer Research Internship (SRI) Each year, selected Pitt EXCEL students participate in a nine-week Summer Research Internship (SRI) Program. Students are assigned to faculty mentors who lead research teams. Each student meets regularly with a faculty mentor to review daily journals, discuss progress, and collaboratively discover innovative solutions to engineering problems. The primary objective is for students to develop a positive relationship with a role model in their discipline of engineering. Additional objectives for facilitating a mentoring partnership include: personal and career guidance; access to the professional community; and guidance that will ease the transition from school to work or undergraduate to graduate school. There were six students and six faculty mentors involved in the 2012 Summer Research Internship Program.

Center for National Preparedness The Center for National Preparedness (CNP) was established in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks to develop holistic and logical approaches to education, research, and training on issues related to national preparedness. CNP has been formulated around four primary guiding principles for Homeland Security: prevention, protection, response, and recovery. Prevention requires effective diplomatic policies, border security, and surveillance systems, which must be a first priority prior to catastrophic events. Protection provides the assurance of military vigilance, the health of the American population, the security of critical infrastructure, and the continued operation of cyber networks. Response focuses on employing properly trained and equipped professionals at the local, state, and federal levels. Recovery emphasizes the importance of rapid restoration of key components within critical infrastructure. CNP is uniquely positioned to use this multi-layered approach to provide expertise to organizations that must deal with homeland preparedness. CNP is a broad, multidisciplinary, collaborative enterprise that engages the University’s scientists, engineers, policy experts, and clinical faculty. Members of CNP possess expertise in biomedical research, public health, medicine, national security policy, engineering, and information technology. The unifying theme of our efforts is the application of systems (and systems of systems) approaches from the engineering sciences to a new academic discipline of Homeland Security and National Preparedness Studies. Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure Over the past several years, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) has strategically positioned itself to focus its research and educational efforts on the transportation sector. The Center for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (CSTI) was formed to expand on the successful research and education collaboration between the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the CEE Department. PennDOT and the University of Pittsburgh formalized their relationship through an Intergovernmental Agreement, which provides a mechanism to support CSTI activities with up to $25 million dollars over five years. CSTI’s vision is to advance the state of transportation infrastructure through collaborative, multi-disciplinary research and education efforts and dissemination of new technologies and knowledge. CSTI is interested in fostering collaborative transportation research throughout the Swanson School of Engineering, the University, industry, and other academic institutions to expand its research program.

John A. Swanson Institute for Technical Excellence The John A. Swanson Center for Product Innovation is a Swanson School of Engineering initiative that consists of four state-of-the-art laboratories that serve as a focal point for product development research and education at the University. The SCPI has been configured to provide a one-stop shop for University researchers and manufacturing and bioengineering companies interested in developing innovative new products and processes. The center ties together four otherwise distinct laboratories that parallel the new product's development lifecycle of design, prototyping, and manufacturing. It includes the Design and Multimedia Laboratory, the W.M. Keck Rapid Prototyping and Reverse Engineering Laboratory, the Kresge Rapid Manufacturing Laboratory, and the Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Laboratory. These laboratories contain design workstations, reverse engineering equipment, rapid prototyping equipment (that allows the manufacturing of polymer-based prototypes), rapid manufacturing equipment (that will produce fully functional prototypes and soft tooling), and micro- and nano-scale design technology. John A. Swanson Micro/Nanotechnology Laboratory The Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) Laboratory is a newly established research and educational facility directed for design, fabrication, and performance characterization of various engineering systems in micro- and nano-scales. This laboratory is built upon the existing capabilities in precision manufacturing, smart materials and transducers, rapid prototyping, and semiconductor fabrication in the School of Engineering. For the typical silicon-based MEMS processing, the school is already equipped with various workstations and laboratories for lithography, thin-film deposition, wet-etching, bonding, and device characterization. The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science Laboratory is currently expanding its research capabilities to both nano-scale devices and non-silicon-based thickfilm micro-devices. New fabrication equipment, such as thick-film deposition/patterning facilities, deep reactive ion etching facilities, and special equipment to develop MEMS devices for biological and medical applications, is being established. John A. Swanson Embedded Computing and Interfacing Laboratory The John A. Swanson Embedded Computing and Interfacing Laboratory provides a variety of the latest equipment and development software that allows students to design and test real-time embedded computer systems. The laboratory is used in undergraduate and graduate ECE and COE courses that focus on the interaction and interconnection of computers with real-world physical devices and systems. The facility contains 13 sets of high speed networked workstations, oscilloscopes, and other related equipment used for demonstration and experimentation. In addition, the laboratory contains a set of nine Altera DE2 FPGA boards and a set of nine ARM Evaluator-7T boards. Each of these system prototyping boards includes a complete suite of design software that allows students to program, compile, simulate, analyze, and debug their designs. This laboratory was created through a generous gift from John A. Swanson, a Pitt alumnus and friend of the University.

Swanson Center for Micro and Nano Systems (SCMNS) The Swanson Center for Micro and Nano Systems supports the numerous micro and nano technology research projects taking place in the School of Engineering. In the Center, industry members have the opportunity to work side by side with the researchers on emerging micro and nano technologies. The epicenter of the SCMNS activity occurs in the John A. Swanson Micro/Nanotechnology Laboratory (JASMN). JASMN is a highly specialized research and educational facility directed for design, fabrication, and performance
characterization of various engineering systems at the micro- and nano-scales. This laboratory is built upon the existing capabilities in precision manufacturing, smart materials and transducers, rapid prototyping, and semiconductor fabrication in the Swanson School of Engineering. For the typical silicon-based MEMS processing, the school is already equipped with various workstations and laboratories for lithography, thin-film deposition, wet-etching, bonding, and device characterization. The JASMN Laboratory has recently expanded its research capabilities to both nano-scale devices and non-silicon-based thick-film micro-devices. New fabrication equipment, such as thick-film deposition/patterning facilities, deep reactive ion etching facilities, and special equipment to develop MEMS devices for biological and medical applications has bee incorporated into JASMN. â&#x20AC;˘ Sounds, Systems, and Structures Laboratory â&#x20AC;˘ Vibration and Control Laboratory

Dr. Ding performs her research in the Human Engineering Research Laboratories (HERL) and is particularly interested in assistive device instrumentation, wheelchair modeling, rehabilitation robotics, and virtual reality. Andrew Duncan Dr. Andrew Duncan joined the University of Pittsburgh in 2012 as Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology, Division of Experimental Pathology, and as a Core Faculty member at the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine. Research in the Duncan lab focuses on liver development, homeostasis and regeneration. One of the defining features of the liver is polyploidy. Hepatocytes are either mononucleated or binucleated, and ploidy is determined by the number of nuclei per cell as well as the ploidy of each nucleus. The functional role of hepatic polyploidization is unclear. Dr. Duncan recently showed that regenerating polyploid hepatocytes undergo specialized cell divisions to form aneuploid daughter cells, generating a high degree of genetic diversity within the liver. Active studies in the lab involve elucidating mechanisms that control hepatic polyploidy and aneuploidy, as well as how these processes affect human disease. Dr. Duncan graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel with a B.S. in Biology in 1996. He attended graduate school at Duke University where he earned a Ph.D. in 2005.

We are especially interested in how damage to the brain causes changes in behaviors. For analysis, we use batteries of behavioral tests, as well as non-invasive imaging, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Secondly, we intend to repair brain damage by implantation of neural stem cells and are also developing in situ tissue engineering strategies (i.e. combining multiple types of cells with biomaterials). Thirdly, we are developing non-invasive imaging strategies that allow us to visualize the location and survival of implanted cells, but will also afford the in vivo monitoring of the replacement of brain tissue. Lastly, we plan to integrate the analysis of the cytoarchitectural organization of the brain by histology with post-mortem MRI.

2012 Distinguished Alumni In 1964, the Swanson School of Engineering initiated a program to honor the outstanding professional achievements of its graduates. The annual Distinguished Alumni Awards Program continues to be the highlight of the year in the Swanson School of Engineering, and offers the opportunity for alumni, faculty, and students to come together in recognition of the meritorious activities in professional engineering and the allied fields of science, industry, business, public service, and education. The accomplishments of outstanding Pitt Engineering graduates have brought recognition to the University and its academic departments, to the profession, and to the entire Pitt Engineering community.
Swanson School of Engineering Awardee Wilson J. Farmerie (BSME â&#x20AC;&#x2122;68) Chairman (Retired) RedZone Robotics, Inc. Pittsburgh, PA Upon his graduation from the University of Pittsburgh, Wilson Farmerie joined Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation in Pittsburgh, a predecessor to LTV Corporation, as a project engineer in 1968. While at Jones and Laughlin he spent most of his time working in the engineering department, but he also spent two years as a general foreman of galvanizing at Pittsburgh Works. He returned to engineering as manager of engineering for the Eastern Division of Jones and Laughlin. Farmerie became the manager of Steel Finishing Engineering, a group that developed all capital projects for the corporation. In 1984 he and four other partners purchased the galvanizing line at the Pittsburgh Works, and they started Metaltech, which was the first independent hot dip galvanizing line in the United States. At Metaltech, Farmerie was responsible for operations and engineering. In 1990 he directed the construction and start-up of a light gage line, NexTech, which was the first light gage line in the United States and built for one-third of the capital cost of typical galvanizing lines. In 1996 he directed the construction and start-up of GalvTech, the first 60-inch-wide line for the non-automotive market. The three lines became known as The Techs and produced about one million tons per year of galvanized product. The company had $1 billion in sales. In 2004, The Techs were sold to a private equity group. Farmerie was the only partner to continue working as chairman for the company. In 2007 The Techs were sold to Steel Dynamics, a large integrated steel company. After The Techs, Farmerie became active as chairman of the board of RedZone Robotics, a startup company involved with robotic sewer industry and infrastructure management. Today the company is poised to change the way data is collected and managed in the sewer industry. Farmerie holds a lifetime membership with the Association of Iron and Steel Engineering.

Departmental Awardees Bioengineering Robert F. Labadie, M.D., Ph.D. (Ph.D. ’95) Associate Professor of Otolaryngology Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering Vanderbilt University Nashville, TN Robert Labadie was the first Ph.D. recipient from the University of Pittsburgh’s Bioengineering program. During his training, Labadie was a member of the Artificial Heart Program and clinically monitored implanted patients. Under Harvey Borovetz’ guidance, his thesis work explored the way in which veins respond to arterial conditions. This highly successful project resulted in multiple publications, research awards, and his first patent. From 1996 until 2001, Labadie completed residency training in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During this time, he became interested in cochlear implants – electronic devices surgically implanted in the inner ear to restore hearing to the deaf. In 2001 he joined the faculty of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN where he is currently a tenured associate professor in the Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery with a joint appointment in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. His clinical specialty is otology with emphasis on surgical rehabilitation of the hearing impaired. He has performed hundreds of cochlear implant surgeries including the first bilateral implantation in Tennessee. He is the author of more than 80 peer-reviewed papers, has been granted four patents, and has presented his research nationally and internationally. His research is supported by the National Institutes of Health from which he has received multiple grants as principal investigator. He has developed and is clinically testing a new method for surgically placing cochlear implants using image-guided technology – a method which could result in quicker and less invasive surgery. His group is also working on augmenting surgeons’ skills

As COO he was responsible for overseeing the company’s manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution systems throughout the United States and Canada. In addition, he provided leadership in a broad range of corporate functions including corporate mergers and acquisitions, technology transfer, supply chain management, research and development, and special projects acquisition. In 1980 Bonomo joined DSI USA as division manager with overall P&L responsibility for the company’s Eastern operations headquartered in New York City, and later became vice president of Operations. In that capacity, he was instrumental in the transfer of special products and product application technology from DSI’s parent company in Munich, Germany. In 1999 Bonomo was promoted to Regional CEO for DSI Asia Pacific relocating to its headquarters in Hong Kong, where he was responsible for DSI companies in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Indonesia. In 2000 he was instrumental in DSI’s acquisition of Australia’s largest manufacturer of roof support systems for mining and tunneling subsequently relocating DSI’s Asia Pacific Headquarters from Hong Kong to Newcastle, Australia.

Electrical and Computer Engineering John Durbin Husher (BSEE â&#x20AC;&#x2122;58) Vice President and General Manager (Retired) Micrel Semiconductor San Jose, CA In 1950 John Durbin Husher joined the Navy during the Korean Conflict and completed his service on September 1, 1954 with two-month early discharge as a result of Korean duty. He immediately enrolled in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Pittsburgh. He began his career in 1958 at Bell Avionics where they hired him for his keen knowledge of transistors. He joined Westinghouse in early 1959 and worked at its Youngwood, PA Power Transistor manufacturing facility. During his lunch period, he took power transistor wafers and sand blasted them into four individual transistors on a wafer. He realized the diffused surface could be used as a resistor and the diode as a capacitor, and he proceeded to personally develop the first integrated transistor circuit on silicon, a linear amplifier. By 1960 his group had developed the fundamental process that is still used throughout the industry for volume circuits requiring unique characteristics. In 1961 Husher provided circuits to MIT for the Apollo program that had characteristics that no other company was able to achieve. In 1966 he was hired by Sprague Electric in Worchester, MA as their general manager and plant manager to lead them into the IC business, which included the complete design of the first laminar flow facility for the production of ICs. In 1968 he joined Fairchild Semiconductor in California as the director of Digital Circuits worldwide and was responsible for the establishment of advanced production techniques in the South Portland, ME facility, production in Shiprock, NM and the installation of the first Singapore Integrated Circuit facility. He later became the director of Linear ICâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worldwide and eventually was promoted to Vice President of the newly formed Analog Division in Fairchild. In 1982 he joined Micrel Test, a small, privately owned test company, as their vice president and general manager. In 1985, the company changed its name to Micrel Semiconductor as a result of the growth of the semiconductor portion headed up by Husher. This was the first and is probably still the only semiconductor company that develops a specific production process for a given circuit; all other companies require the circuit designer to use the technology that is already in place at a given facility. Micrel continued to experience significant growth during Husherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure. He retired in 2002. Never one to fully retire, Husher became involved in many other ventures and in 2006 he wrote his first book, a memoir based on the successful lives of his twin brother and himself entitled, By a River, On a Hill. Between 2006 and 2009 he published ten books, including six works of nonfiction and four works of fiction.
247
He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. Husher and his late wife Margaret (“Peg”) are the proud parents of three children. He is a loving father, uncle, grandfather, and great grandfather. Industrial Engineering Kenneth D. Burnside (BSIE ’74) President AKJ Industries, Inc. Fort Myers, FL Upon his graduation from the University of Pittsburgh in 1974, Kenneth Burnside began his career as a management trainee at Inland Steel Company in East Chicago, IN. In late 1979 he joined ARCO Performance Chemicals as a sales representative of specialty chemicals to the steel industry. In 1981 AKJ Industries was founded, and Burnside became one of the two principle owners. He is still active in the business today. AKJ Industries’ success began with the development of a patented process to recycle certain solid hazardous waste streams from coke production in the steel industry into liquid fuels. Their business model was to construct a processing facility on a steel mill site, collect the wastes as generated, process the wastes and return them to the customer as a liquid fuel to be used in the primary steelmaking process. The technology was later modified for use in the oil refining industry to maximize hydrocarbon usage. AKJ Industries also developed specialty freeze release and dust suppressant chemicals for use in the coal industry and is now a major supplier of these chemicals and services to the mining and utility industries. AKJ Industries currently has operations in 15 states across the United States. In recent years AKJ Industries has become involved with the Swanson School of Engineering’s Co-op program. Burnside states that these young people’s approach to real life business problems has been an invaluable and economical resource for our company and a tribute to the University of Pittsburgh. Burnside holds or co-holds three U.S. and foreign patents, including a patent titled “Dust Control Compositions and Method of Inhibiting Dust.” He has three pending patents in the United States. Burnside is a member of the American and Iron Steel Institute, Eastern Blast Furnace and Coke Association, the American Coke and Coke Chemicals Institute, and the Bobby Nichols Charity Foundation. Burnside holds a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. He has lived in Ft Myers, FL for the last 22 years with his wife, Debbie. They have five children and seven grandchildren.
