IntroductionIntroductionIntroductionIntroduction
Introduction Civil and mechanical engineering – contributed significant benefits
to society during 20th Century For the 21st Century, CMS enables research progress in advanced
materials, micro- and nano- scale systems, intelligent civil and mechanical systems, biomechanics and biomedical devices, hazards mitigation, and many other areas
Background During 2003-2004 CMS conducted strategic planning activities to
develop a shared vision, a clear statement of mission, specific common goals and actions; to capture emerging opportunities; and to improve processes and organization.
CoV March 2004 Retreats December 2003 and August 2004 Others (Workshops, Reports, Meetings, Celebrations, etc.)
We envision CMS as the acknowledged leader in advancing the frontiers of civil and mechanical engineering research, innovation and learning, in partnership with the civil and mechanical engineering community, and in service to society and the Nation.
The Mission of CMS is: to expand the foundation of fundamental
knowledge for the engineering profession in application to mechanical systems and the constructed environment,
To support the transmittal of that knowledge to new generations, and
to support the rapid development and deployment of research to reduce risks induced by natural and technological hazards.
1. Leadership and communications in research and education for civil and mechanical engineering systems. In partnership with the CMS research and education community, articulate the benefits to society of research in the rapidly evolving fields of civil and mechanical systems through divisional workshops to identify emerging research opportunities and curricular innovation in CE and ME; organization of CMS programs into clusters identified with broad and forward-looking themes; summer institutes to train faculty in rapidly emerging areas; career enhancement workshops for junior CE and ME faculty, especially from underrepresented groups.

2. Priorities for CMS research. Strengthen investigator-initiated research for high-impact discoveries; innovative research utilizing the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation cyberinfrastructure; nano- and bio- mechanics of materials; intelligent civil and mechanical systems; simulation-based engineering science; hazard mitigation and response for critical infrastructure protection.
Medical Applications of PolymersThis research
focuses on the surface, mechanical and chemical properties of polymers with or without plasma treatment.
3. Proposal loads and success rates. Make the case for increased funding, take measures to limit the increasing numbers of proposals; develop research partnerships for NEES utilization; develop mutually beneficial partnerships with other funding agencies; ongoing continuous improvement of all administrative processes.
4. Assessment. Carry out longitudinal studies to identify NSF role in seminal developments in CE and ME over the past few decades; regular evaluations of all programs and solicitations; objective surveys of research communities served by CMS; award a CMS (or ENG) prize of national stature to recognize most significant outcomes of CMS funded research.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Microscopy
Paul C. Lauterbur, SUNY Stonybrook
CMS - 8008629
Funded by the CMS in the early 1980’s to refine nuclear magnetic resonance into a routine diagnostic technique. In 2002, about 22,000 MRI machines were in use worldwide, and more than 60 million MRI examinations were performed. For this contribution, Prof. Paul Lauterbur, now with University of Illinois, was awarded the 2003 Nobel Prize in Medicine
