Engineering in a Complex World: Innovation through Integration
Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister of the Environment and Water Resources of Singapore

Engineering innovation enables economic growth and higher standards of living. However, rapid development has brought inter-related challenges in water, waste, energy, and agriculture. These sustainability issues threaten progress not only in the developing nations of Asia, but for the entire world. Working at the intersections of multiple complex domains, engineers will need to apply a holistic and systems approach to find innovative solutions to many of our urban issues. Through an emphasis on continuing education, an integrated multi-disciplinary approach to engineering, and a spirit of service to society, we can rise to the challenges of the new century and solve the defining problems of our time. 

BIOGRAPHY:
Dr. Yaacob Ibrahim is the Minister for the Environment and Water Resources and Minister in charge of Muslim affairs, Republic of Singapore, since August 2004. Dr. Yaacob graduated from the University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Civil Engineering  (Honours) (1980), and a Master of Science in Civil Engineering (1984). He worked as a structural engineer before proceeding to pursue a Ph.D. at Stanford University in 1984.

In 1990, after a stint at Cornell University as a post-doctorial fellow, he returned to Singapore and joined NUS. He served in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering as an Associate Professor until July 1998. During his time at NUS, he received a departmental Teaching Excellence Award and in 1997, co-founded the Centre for Robust Design, which undertook research into reliability issues relating to products and processes of industries in Singapore. Dr. Yaacob has been active in community service since his school days and has been inivolved with the Association of Muslim Professionals, Jamiyah, Majlis Ugama Islam Singapore and the Nature Society.

The Educational Imperatives of the Engineering Grand Challenges.
Richard K. Miller, President of Olin College, USA

ABSTRACT:
The engineering challenges of the 21st century will require leaders capable of addressing the Grand Challenges of our age: global security, health, sustainability, and the joy of living. In addition to solid preparation in STEM subjects, these leaders will need a deep understanding of non-technical issues surrounding technological invention to achieve the desired outcomes. The educational implications require preparing students early in their program for integrative systems thinking across disciplines, political boundaries, and time zones. Awareness of, interest in, and passionate commitment to developing sound solutions to complex societal challenges are essential, as well as a solid understanding of the innovation process conceived as the intersection of feasibility, viability, and desirability.  Design thinking, entrepreneurial thought and action, quantitativee rigor, and persuasive leadership ability are important aspects of the educational approach that is needed. This involves embracing attitudes, behaviors, and motivations in addition to knowledge as important educational goals.

Hydro-environmental Challenges from an Asian Pacific Perspective - are we ready to respond?

Joseph Hun-Wei Lee, Vice President (Research and Graduate Studies) Designate, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

In the coming decades water and environmental challenges are intimately related to the sustainable development of many fast developming Asian Pacific economies. The challenges are both technical and socio-economic in nature: urban flood control in densely populated mega-cities, sewage strategy to combat coastal eutrophication and red tides, total water management to address droughts induces by regional climate change, cumulative impact of dense coastal developments. On the one hand, politicians in developing countries are yearning for western style scientific and technological innovation from city administration to university level. On the other hand, there is an urgent need for educating modern engineers that are capable of inter-disciplinary thinking, integrating theory and practice, linking engineering science and public policy, using the latest computational and ICT skills for effective public engagement, and distilling vast information into tractable models that translate into effective problem solving. These lofty goals may not be best served by a craving to excel in academic performance indicators dominated by citations and journal impact factors. In this lecture, some of these challenges of engineering education will be illustrated using exammples embraced in Project Waterman - a venture to develop a real time coastal water quality forecasting and management system for Hong Kong.

BIOGRAPHY:
Professor Joseph Hun-wei Lee joined The University of Hong Kong in 1980, and is currently Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President, and Redmond Chair of Civil Engineering.

Professor Lee's research revolves around the use of hydraulics to solve environmental problems, in particular the prediction and control of water quality. He is Chief Editor of the Elsevier Journal of Hydro-environment Research, and an Associate Editor of ASCE Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, Estaurine Coastal and Shelf Science, Korean Journal of Civil Engineering, and China Ocean Engineering. Professor Lee is a Croucher Senior Research Fellow, Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (UK) and the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering Sciences.

Professor Lee has served as expert advisor to the Hong Kong Government and as international consultant on numerous hydro-environmental projects. He serves on the Advisory Council on the Environment and the Construction Industry Council of the Hong Kong Government.

Korea's Success Model of Industrialization and Roles of Dean's Council in Economic Development
Wonjong Joo, Director of Innovation Center for Engineering Education, Professor at School of Mechanical Design and Automation Engineering, Seoul National University of Technology

Korea was totally ruined after series of national crises during last 100 years, Japan's colonization, World War II, and Korea War. GNI per capita in 1963, 10 years later after the Korean War, was only $100 and 33 years later, in 1996, it became $10,000, which means 4.5 times growth of economy in every 10 years. Amazing thing is it was accomplished at the same time with confronting North Korea's threat and overcoming social instability caused by continous demonstrations for democracy. Key factors in the success of Korea's economy can be considered as strong governments' leadership and policies for industrialization, vision and spirit of enterprisers; and support of universities in making government's policies and timely production of competitive engineers and technicians for industry. During last 15 years, however, Korea economy could only make double, GNI per capita $20,000, which seems far less than that we have expected. Many reasons can be found such as world economic crisis but industry has thought one of them ist he mismatch between university education and practice in industry. Dean's Council of Colleges of Engineering has made 2 important proposals to the Government in last 10 years with responding to complaints of industry, which are launch of ABET in Korea (ABEEK) and establishment of ICEE (Innovation Center for Engineering Education) to upgrade the engineering education. At present, the ABEEK is running more than 500 programs and 60 ICEEs and 5 hub ICEEs are working together for innovative engineering programs, curriculums, and teaching methods.

BIOGRAPHY:
Wonjong Joo is a professor at Seoul National University of Science and Technology (Seoul Tech) and has been a Director of Seoul Tech Innovation Hub Center for Engineering Education (20 Universities work together) for 3 years. He is now the President of Innovation Hub Center Council for representing 60 universities' Innovation Centers for Engineering Education (ICEE) and 5 Hub Centers in Korea. The ICEEs major work is to develop innovative programs, curriculums, teaching methods, and industry collaboration to reduce gaps between industry's needs and universities' education. The main work of Innovation Hub Center Council is to coordinate 60 Centers for sharing the outcomes of the ICEE project, to represent to other Societies such as KSEE, ABEEK, KAE, etc., and to survey opinions of ICEEs, industry, and professors and students. He graduated from Mechanical Engineering Department of Seoul National University (B.S.), KAIST (M.S.), and UIC (Ph.D.). His research area includes interferometric measurements, stereoscopic particle tracking velocimetry, automatic fringe pattern analysis, and vision inspections.

Sustainable Ecosystems and the Engineering Curriculum

Chandrakant Patel, HP Senior Fellow and Director, Sustainable IT Ecosystem Laboratory, HP Laboratories

Continued population growth coupled with increased per capita consumption and dwindling natural resources will soon require the creation of a new generation of cities around the globe. These cities will be driven by a growing desire for on-demand, just-in-time access to critical resources at affordable costs. Coupled with the increased risks that physical growth places on the carrying capacity of the biosphere, we cannot expect to meet the future needs of society simply by extending the existing infrastructures. We propose that the necessary transformation be enabled by a sustainable IT ecosystem made up of billions of service-oriented client devices and thousands of data centers. We conclude that while IT plays an important role, our success lies in foundational level principles which necessitate return to "old school" engineering and a multi-disciplinary engineering curriculum for sustainability.

Chandrakant Patel is currently an HP Senior Fellow and Director of the Sustainable Information Technology Laboratory at Hewlett Packard Laboratories. Chandrakant has been a pioneer in microprocessor and system tthermo-mechanical architectures, management of available energy as a key resource in "smart" data centers, and most recently, application of the IT ecosystem to enable a net positive impact on the environment. Chandrakant enjoys teaching, and has taught computer aided design at Chabot College for 16 years. He also teaches courses in thermal management at U.C. Berkeley Extension, Santa Clara University and San Jose State University. Chandrakant has published extensively and has been granted more than 100 U.S. patents, several pending. An IEEE Fellow, Chandrakant holds a BSME from U.C. Berkeley, MSME from San Jose State University, and is a licensed professional mechanical engineer in the state of California.

Intergenerational Panel (organized by SPEED)
Simpor Ballroom - 4901B & 4803

Mentorship: Potential and Practice in the Diverse Engineering Educational Community

An important aspect of the education of the engineering student generation of 2030 will be considering how to effectively mentor these future engineers. Good mentorship is often cited as an inspiring motivation to both initially pursue and then persevere in an engineering degree. Additionally, a lack of mentorship is a discouraging force in a young engineering student - this is especially the case for women and minorities, where successful examples are harder to find. The intergenerational Panel session in Singapore will examine the role, importance and best practices associated with mentorship in engineering education. After initial remarks by invited panelists, potential obstacles and appropriate solutions will be discussed in small groups, utilizing the potentially diverse perspectives of current academics, industry representatives, and students. Suggestions will be compiled and distributed to the WEEF organizations as a foundation for future collaborations.

Technologies to Do Engineering

Shekhar Sharad

Students of today want to experience real engineering irrespective of where they are or what they are learning - at home, in the lab, or even the coffee shop. They also do not want to wait for four years before getting hands on experience. This trend while advantageous for professors who are trying to attract and retain students to engineering needs powerful yet intuitive tools to enable students to do engineering. Join us as we look at the issues that one has to overcome to do engineering and how graphical programming tools can help mitigate them.

Plenary III/Socio Economic Keynote
Simpor Ballroom 4901B & 4803

Singapore: From Classical Emporium to Global City
As a city-state, Singapore is a rarity in today's world order. That this small island state without a hinterland and natural resources has not only survived and thrived, but is constantly punching above its weight is an intriguing story in itself. This session will trace the development of Singapore from a regional emporium to world city over a 700 year period. It will offer a perspective of Singapore's evolution in the contexts of regional and global developments, from the 14th century to the present. It will explain how Singapore's port city status defined and shaped its personality and how, after independence in 1965, it continues to grapple with the need to maintain the outlook as a global city while dealing with the demands of nation-statehood.
