According to statistical data from the National Science Foundation, federally and non-federally funded research and development to higher education has been on the decline since 2011. In 2014 all R&D expenditures in higher education topped out at just over $67B. FY2014 contract dollars were $445B, with 64% of that distributed by the Department of Defense. Universities house enormous capabilities and those who have understood the contracting business have done very well. In this presentation we will discuss the opportunities that come from seeking contracts from the federal government. We will explore the establishment of the Alabama A&M Research, Innovation, Science, and Engineering (AAMU-RISE) Foundation and the steps taken to build this R&D contracting operation with a university setting from the ground up. We will discuss the establishment of the Knowledge Sharing Center, created to help other universities learn the steps involved in government contracting. Finally we will discuss the how the fifteen HBCUs that have ABET accredited Engineering programs can work together to benefit from the funding available through contract based R&D.

This session will also cover two new life stages that modern Americans face in their 20s and 60s and how to align money behaviors with your principles, values, and beliefs at any stage of life. Participants will take away practical financial tools to begin using today.

Powerful forces, including demographics, globalization, and rapidly evolving technologies are driving profound changes in engineering professionals in our society. The changing workforce and technology needs of a global knowledge-driven economy are dramatically changing the nature of engineering practices and education, demanding far broader skills than simply the mastery of scientific and technological disciplines. Over the last decades, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and regional state colleges have joined forces with many major research universities to embrace innovation and entrepreneurship as critical to their mission and role in their communities. The leaderships at HBCUs recognize the importance of innovation, commercialization, entrepreneurship, and the creation of economic value for their communities, especially for these institutions with land-grant missions. University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) is a land-grant institution with 270 years rich history and legacy. Today, UMES has been reclassified as a Carnegie Doctoral Research (Moderate) University by the Carnegie Foundation and is on its request to become a pioneering HBCU in promoting innovation, commercialization and entrepreneurship for academic eminence. The Engineering, Business, and Technology programs at the School of Business and Technology at UMES play critical roles in advancing this new mission. To achieve this, we at the School of Business and Technology have developed roadmaps and strategies in four perspectives: We promote student innovation and entrepreneurship; we encourage faculty innovation and entrepreneurship; we actively foster collaboration in university and industry, and we engage with regional and local economic development efforts. In this seminar talk, I will elaborate on the efforts and initiatives we have developed with the goal of translating creativity on campus into business opportunity.

The Aerospace and Defense (A&D) industry in the US designs and manufactures products that carry more than three billion passengers worldwide on any given day as well as systems which are vital to our national security. In order to transition to lead-free electronics the A&D industry demands careful analysis and research into the performance, reliability and safety of these materials in order to maintain public safety and assure our war-fighters’ mission success is not compromised or risked. In this effort the College of Engineering at Tuskegee University and the Boeing Company has teamed to fill some of the many knowledge gaps that surround this new technology. The mechanisms of inanition and growth of tin whiskers and the Probability of occurrence of Induced Short are investigated. Since the formation of binary compounds are suspected of causing fractures in these new Pb-free solder alloys, Tuskegee is studying the migration of binary compounds as a root cause. The effects tin whiskers may have on the ability of conformal coatings to protect Circuit Boards from corrosion is also studied.

When you meet someone, what are some of your initial assumptions? Do these assumptions impact the way you interact with them? Our brains naturally place people into larger groups or categories. These assumptions are helpful to some, yet harmful to others. In business, subtle biases can become major roadblocks to fair and inclusive diversity practices. We gravitate toward certain types of people, or simply forget to acknowledge others. As women of color, these biases create challenges that may include racial and gender stereotypes that cause our contributions to be ignored or diminished. How do we become examples of fair and inclusive practices? How do we challenge our culture to move toward greater levels of awareness? Studies have shown that men become less bias toward women when they discuss needs and are forced to challenge assumptions. This seminar will challenge your personal biases and address ways to engage in conversations that test faulty thinking and increase cultural awareness. At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to: a. Define unconscious and subtle bias. b. Identify personal biases and behaviors that support faulty cultural norms. c. Explore specific ways that race and gender impact achievement. d. Discuss communication strategies to encourage productive conversations. e. Examine behaviors and cultural practices that create diversity challenges.

Diversity and inclusive corporate models can boost financial development, stimulate social development and launch more stable and objective societies. Additionally, companies that invest in inclusion in the workplace, marketplace and community have reported momentous business benefits. In a Forbes study, senior executives of top-earning companies reported that workplace diversity and inclusion drive innovation and business growth. While diversity and inclusion are significant measurements of social sustainability, some companies still observe these as independent from their corporate sustainability strategies. This Roundtable Discussion will discover the relationships between diversity and inclusion and corporate sustainability. The goal is to examine how companies can coordinate and communicate across functions, and make diversity and inclusion a strategic urgency both as a culmination and as a crucial means to attaining further corporate sustainability goals.

Hang in there! You are somebody’s hope. There is a rumor mulling around in colleges across the land that science, technology, engineering, and math are the “hardcore” fields that some advance, others try, and many avoid. Women and minorities are grossly underrepresented in STEM careers and the numbers continue to decline. In a 2010 Bayer Corp. survey of 1,226 women and underrepresented minority chemists and chemical engineers, 40 percent said they were discouraged from pursuing a STEM career. Sixty percent said college was where most of the discouragement happened. STEM careers offer a rewarding journey of innovation and powerful contributions, solutions, and tools that secure and advance our future. So, what do you need to do to overcome challenges and succeed in these fields? At the end of this workshop, college students will: a.
