WHY THE FOCUS ON ENGINEERING?

10
00:01:03.096 --> 00:01:11.738
FEW STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND THE
TOP ONE IS ALL IN THE BIG STEM
INITIATIVE.
IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE ECOSYSTEM

11
00:01:11.738 --> 00:01:18.711
IN INDIANA WE ARE A
MANUFACTURING STATE BIOMEDICAL
ENGINEERING STATE WITH A GREAT
MEDICAL SCHOOL IN CENTRAL

12
00:01:18.711 --> 00:01:27.020
INDIANA.
WE SEE THE NEED FOR DIVERSITY IN
THE ENGINEERING FIELD AND WE

LEADER TO LEAD THE EFFORT.
A TREMENDOUS GIFT AND WE ARE OFF

INTERESTED YOU AND WHAT MADE YOU
APPROACH AND PURSUE THIS

DIEGO AND WHEN I GRADUATED I GOT

17
00:02:03.022 --> 00:02:11.931

PROCESS ENGINEER AND
MANUFACTURING ENGINEER IN TEST
ENGINEER AND EVENTUALLY R&D.

18
00:02:11.931 --> 00:02:19.272
AND BECAUSE OF MY INTEREST IN
MEDICAL VENTILATORS AND
BIOMECHANICS I DID MY GRADUATE
STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF

19
00:02:19.272 --> 00:02:28.214
IOWA AND EVENTUALLY MADE IT ALL
THE WAY OUT TO WASHINGTON DC AND
WE DID A LOT OF RESEARCH THERE
AND HEALTH INFORMATION

20
00:02:28.214 --> 00:02:35.021
TECHNOLOGIES.
SO IT'S VERY EXCITING RESEARCH
OPPORTUNITY AND THIS NEW
OPPORTUNITY THAT'S BEING STARTED

21
00:02:35.021 --> 00:02:42.962
REALLY EXCITES ME.
BEING A FOUNDING DEAN OF A NEW
SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING STARTING
FROM SCRATCH AND BEING AN

22
00:02:42.962 --> 00:02:50.069
ENTREPRENEUR REALLY IS SOMETHING
THAT WILL BE A CHALLENGE.
IT'S SOMETHING I'M LOOKING

EXECUTE.

24
00:02:58.578 --> 00:03:04.651
>> SURE.
ONE OF THE GOALS WE HAVE THE
VISION WE HAVE IS THAT WE WILL
START AN ENGINEERING PROGRAM

25
00:03:04.651 --> 00:03:11.691
THAT IS FOUNDED UPON THE
CATHOLIC CONSCIENCE AND WE WILL
BUILD PROGRAMS THAT SERVE THE
NATION AND WORLD AND SOCIETAL

26
00:03:11.691 --> 00:03:19.499
NEEDS AND THAT COMES EVERYTHING
FROM BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AND
HEALTH ALL THE WAY TO CHEMICAL
ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPING NEW

27
00:03:19.499 --> 00:03:27.607
VACCINES AND MEDICINES TO
COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND DEALING
WITH CYBER SECURITY AND OTHER
THINGS GOING ON AS WELL AND

28
00:03:27.607 --> 00:03:37.283
CIVIL ENGINEERING THE WORLD IS
LOOKING AT A LOT OF NEEDS FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE AND WE WILL TRY
AND ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE

29
00:03:37.283 --> 00:03:43.256
ISSUES.
>> YOU'VE MADE THE POINT IN THE
PAST YOUR GRADUATES STAY AND
WORK IN INDIANA.

30
00:03:43.256 --> 00:03:49.495
INDIANAPOLIS AND THROUGHOUT THE
STATE.
AS YOU LOOK AT THIS NEW SCHOOL
AND THE GRADUATES THAT WILL BE

31
00:03:49.495 --> 00:03:56.302
COMING OUT WHAT WILL FEED THE
PIPELINE?
THAT TECHNICAL PIPELINE THAT
REALLY NEEDS PEOPLE IN IT.

32
00:03:56.302 --> 00:04:04.510
>> I HAVE TWO VISUALS ONE THE
PIPELINE WILL GET BIGGER WE WILL
HAVE MORE ENGINEERS AND WE WILL
ELIMINATE LEAKS THERE'S A LOT OF

33
00:04:04.510 --> 00:04:13.653
ENGINEERS TRAINED IN THE STATE
OF INDIANA AND MANY LIVE HERE.
WE WILL INTENTIONALLY AND WE'VE
HAD GREAT RESPONSE FROM PARTNER

34
00:04:13.653 --> 00:04:24.263
COMPANIES AND DONORS SO IF YOU
VISIT WITH AN ENGINEERING FIRM A
COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WE HIRED 25
GRADUATES AND THAT WILL NOT

35
00:04:24.263 --> 00:04:32.839
HAPPEN, BUT IF YOU ARE PART OF
THE PIPELINE WE WILL PUT SOME IN
THERE, SO WE HAVE A VERY CLEAR
STRATEGY TO INCLUDE DEVELOPING

36
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:44.550
ENGIEERS IN K-12 SCHOOLS WITH A
DIVERSE POPULATION HERE IN
INDIANA AND THE UNIVERSITY.
AND DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS AND

37
00:04:44.550 --> 00:04:55.795
YOU WILL SEE INVESTMENT FROM
OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY AND
THE WORLD AND BETTER PAYING JOBS
AND YOU WILL SEE SOME GREAT
