Annual Report Issue

President’s PerspectiveBy Stan LiBerty

President, Kettering University

Readers who have had the opportunity to meet me know that I am “bullish” on Kettering and optimistic about the future of the great lakes region. I realize there are still difficult times ahead, but I also know this region is rich in assets, which if properly mobilized and applied will contribute significantly to a bright socio-economic future for the region.

At Kettering we have developed new mission and vision statements, and we are close to completing work on a new strategic plan for the institution. The Board will act on these in June 2007, so the associated documents are still officially in draft form. After approval they will be made public on our website. Although these new statements and strategic plan represent change, they do not abandon the traditional values of this institution. They only enhance and augment them.

Here is a glimpse of some of the language in the new mission and vision statements that relate to my remarks above. The draft mission statement contains the following language: “Kettering University achieves its mission by: Engaging collaborative partnerships that contribute to the prosperity of our region and society.” The draft vision statement contains the following: “Kettering University will be preeminent: Regionally as a contributor to economic growth and enhancement of the quality of life.”

Recently I served on a panel and made a presentation at the Great Lakes Manufacturing Forum in Toronto, Canada. This was a great opportunity for me to describe Kettering as a regional asset and share my thoughts on the future of manufacturing and the regional economy. I would like to share some excerpts from those remarks to further illustrate the linkage between our new mission/vision and the future of this region.

“. . . Regional collaboration . . . is a key to a bright socio-economic future for the region but it is also a significant challenge . . . I am optimistic because I have a secret weapon. Every day, as president of a preeminent professional cooperative education institution, I observe students who are integrating work-based learning with classroom and laboratory learning, and rapidly developing the skills and knowledge essential to the infusion of innovation into the products and processes that will sustain our competitiveness in the knowledge economy…Yes, manufacturing is changing . . . there are products and processes out there in the not too distant future that we haven’t yet imagined. We in higher education have to prepare our students for jobs that don’t yet exist and to manage processes and design products that haven’t yet been conceptualized.

. . . I want to emphasize my belief that the successful construction of a new economy in this region is going to be based substantially on a strong commitment, with an accompanying shift in the culture of the region, to science and technology-based entrepreneurism. A key to accelerating this phenomenon is to find ways to increase technology transfer from higher education to the private sector and from within current industry. The annual expenditures on research and development in this region are very substantial, and you know that there is a lot of protected intellectual property being generated within that R&D machine that is not related to core business objectives. That IP should not sit on the shelf. It should be the basis for spin-out companies that will attract investment, create jobs and diversify the regional economy.

The region is also rich in higher educational assets with large quantities of intellectual capital and scientific and technological infrastructure. But these assets historically have underperformed when it comes to technology transfer and business enterprise formation. That will change. But it won’t happen at the pace we need without a lot of collaborative effort and partnering among government, industry and education.”

We are also extremely grateful to the many alumni and friends who support us through financial contributions each year. This issue serves as the annual report on the many contributions that support our students and campus. Thank you for your generosity.

Sincerely,

companies to design products faster and more cost efficiently. With this grant, the two professors will devel-op computer models of an entire hy-brid drive train that will allow them to perform a complete analysis of a hybrid vehicle design. They can then determine its “functionality, lifetime, effects of component aging, EMI generation, mechanical and electri-cal effects of thermal cycling, cool-ing requirements and costs, among other things,” explained Gover.

One possible impact of this com-puter modeling could be lower costs in terms of purchasing a hybrid in the future. Currently, hybrids cost anywhere from $3,500 to $6,000 more than traditional cars. More im-portantly, at the Detroit Auto Show in January, manufacturers displayed significantly more hybrid cars and trucks than at last year’s show. This

clearly suggests that the general public is more interested this year in hybrids than in previous years, due in large part to the increasing cost of gas.

Unfortunately, the adoption of hybrid electric vehicles may take

Toyota Prius and volt by General Motors are exceptional examples of this technology, cost and the current capabilities of battery technology keep them out of financial reach of many environmentally conscious Americans.

However, this could all change based on some important research taking place at Kettering.

Dr. Juan Pimentel and Dr. Jim Gover, professors of Electrical and Computer Engineering, recently

took receipt of a $75,000 grant from Mentor Graphics Inc. (www.mentor.com), a technology leader in electronic design automation that provides software and hardware solutions that enable electronics, semiconductor and automotive

Some scientific facts are impos-sible to ignore. Oil, for example, will one day dry up, leaving cars gasping on highways for one last whiff of energy.

Before the advent of automobiles, earth contained rich deposits of crude oil, from which we manufac-tured fuel for cars and trucks, as well as oil to heat homes and create vari-ous products. In a practical sense, such fossil fuels allowed for large-scale industrial development as our world expanded. As a result, many Americans enjoy a standard of living that would otherwise be less than satisfactory if not for the creation and use of fossil fuels.

But as the name suggests, fos-sil fuels will eventually evaporate, leaving humanity without one of its most prized commodities. Scientists 2,000 years from now studying our civilizations may indeed find hints of oil among the dusty and rusty shells of junked cars and trucks, and come to some understanding about the social, economic, political and even cultural power of oil during our existence.

Researchers currently examining the issue of oil consumption and alternative power today also hope that what future scientists find are sources of power that represented an eye toward developing energy independence without environ-mental impact. And while fuel cell power holds perhaps the most po-tential, we’re still years away from full incorporation of this resource and hybrids are clearly more practi-cal. Although hybrids such as the

time because of a number of issues. Some of these include vehicle costs, battery lifetime, and battery energy and power density. According to Gover, major advancements in battery technology could actually “make fuel cells much less critical to the future of automobiles,” he said.

Pimentel and Gover will focus their research efforts in this project on several areas of a hybrid drive train. One of the primary compo-nents of these drive trains are the power electronics comprised of a dc-dc converter and three-phase inverter that converts dc voltage to a three-phase, frequency-dependent voltage. This voltage then provides power to the electric motor that op-erates the wheels. One starting point for this grant-funded project is to model the inverter. Gover will work on developing computer models of the power electronics system, while Pimentel will model the control electronics for the inverter. Both will use the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ standard modeling language called vHDL-AMS (very high speed hardware de-scription language-analog and mixed signal). The primary tool to be used is Systemvision™, which is Men-tor Graphics’ implementation of vHDL-AMS. The hope is to calcu-late the heating rate generated in the inverter semiconductor switches to determine cooling requirements over the full range of drive train speeds as well as the performance sensitivity to electrical parameters.

“The vHDL-AMS language is important to this project because it can handle complex systems where there is a mixture of electrical, me-chanical, fluidic, thermal and other physical phenomena,” Pimentel said, adding that the vHDL-AMS language “has acquired worldwide acceptance and is the language of

choice for modeling and simulation of multi-physics complex systems.”

Ultimately, the two professors believe that another outcome of this

project is a compelling rea-son for automotive OEMs and suppliers to consider using these types of com-puter models and tools. These resources could provide automo-tive designers the capability of designing a hy-brid vehicle drive train and evaluate

it without having to build the hardware, which is ex-tremely expensive. Drive train design costs are often passed onto the sales price of a vehicle.

The computer models under development should allow what Gover describes as the payoff of

inventions “to be determined with-out having to build hardware. The automotive sector, which is domi-nated by mechanical engineers, is far too dependent on testing and

underutilizes math-based simula-tion for electrical systems. In a hy-brid vehicle, more than 50 percent of the cost is electrical. The result is that automotive manufacturers will soon find out that they simply cannot afford to contract all of their electrical systems to suppliers and only work with performance specs, which requires them to conduct ex-

pensive tests to determine if their supplier has met their specifications.”

Serge Leef, general man-ager of the System-Level Engineering Division at Mentor Graphics, said “We believe that applying state-of-the-art multi-physics simulation technology to hybrid vehicle electron-ics optimization is a great

way to leverage our Systemvision™ product. Our team’s joint activi-ties with Kettering researchers will result in profound learning that could lead to exciting advances in the understanding of the hybrid-drive operational and cost trade-offs. Professors Pimentel and Gover have deep insights and clear vision in this area, and we look forward to long and fruitful collaboration.”

And if the predictions made by this project come to fruition, the developmental costs of hybrids could indeed come down if car mak-ers pay careful attention to how they design, simulate and evaluate hybrid vehicles. So if car manufacturers can reduce their development costs, it stands to reason that consumers should be able to buy hybrids at more efficient cost points, which could eventually reduce our need for oil and help establish the country’s energy independence.

Kettering recently formed a part-nership with the Michigan Small Business & Technology Develop-ment Center (MI-SBTDC, www.gvsu.edu/misbtdc/) and will soon offer regional services to small busi-nesses in Genesee and Lapeer coun-ties. The MI-SBTDC will be housed in Kettering’s Campus Center, located at the corner of Third and Chevrolet avenues in Flint. Offices will be on the fifth floor of the Cam-pus Center in the Graduate Studies area.

The MI-SBTDC regional of-fice will be staffed with an intake administrator, regional director and traditional business consultant. It will provide office space for one of �0 statewide technology business consultants. The technology con-sultants specialize in helping tech-minded entrepreneurs develop and commercialize products or services that involve intellectual property or patented technology.

President Stan Liberty said he is pleased with this new partner-ship. “This collaboration will be an important asset for Kettering as we further develop our ability to assist in regional economic development,” he said. He added that Kettering “is committed to cultivating and nurturing technology-based small businesses, and having the ability in-house to provide small business services is critical to that outreach mission. Hosting the Region 6 MI-SBTDC on campus will also pro-vide opportunities for the further development of entrepreneurship programming at Kettering. It will also give students increased op-portunities to participate in valu-

able real-world projects and give Kettering the potential of establish-ing co-op positions with new cor-porate partners.”

The regional office at Kettering will house a Biz Resource Center (BRC, www.gvsu.edu/misbtdc/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.bizresources), an extensive one-stop small business reference library of hardware, soft-ware, hard copy books and publica-tions intended to help entrepreneurs plan or expand their businesses. The partnership will also provide support to the Lapeer Economic Develop-ment Corporation as a satellite of-fice, a strong service provider for small businesses in Lapeer County for more than 25 years.

State Director Carol Lopucki said that Biz Resource Centers provide the MI-SBTDC program with an added dimension. “They provide entrepreneurs a place where they can research their business in a quiet and professional atmosphere, with access to consultants for assistance as needed. The centers provide small business owners with the informa-tion and tools that will give them the best chance for success,” Lopucki concluded.

The Michigan Small Business & Technology Development Center provides counseling, training and advocacy for Michigan’s new busi-ness ventures, existing small busi-nesses, expanding new businesses, new technology companies, and innovators. Entrepreneurs and small business owners may access the ser-vices of their nearest MI-SBTDC by calling (6�6) 33�-7480 or by visiting www.gvsu.edu/misbtdc/.

Regional office moving to campusBy Patricia Mroczek

Engineer Peter Scott has come to Kettering University as Flint’s new-est landlord.

Scott is the new director of Kettering’s Fuel Cell and Advanced Technology Incubator. His asign-ment is to help inventors and entre-preneurs commercialize new tech-nologies and businesses.

“I utilize a basket of services and

advice that people need to create high tech - high growth business,” Scott said. “You start by asking the ques-tion, ‘How do you commercialize an idea or technology?’ My job is to answer this question and then deter-mine all the steps necessary to build a successful company,” he added.

Scott’s not wasting any time. He moved into the business incubator on the second floor of Kettering’s C.S. Mott Engineering and Science Center in February. The incubator is a large space that features cubicles, small offices, a high-tech conference

room and the kind of office equip-ment needed to help entrepreneurs launch new ideas.

“I’m looking for companies that need these facilities,” he explained, adding, “and who need the expert advice and the infrastructure that a world-class engineering univer-sity such as Kettering can provide them. For some, that will be purely business consulting expertise. For others, that may mean research and development, testing labs and access to faculty and students. My goal is to build companies. It’s about help-ing people who have high tech-high growth ideas get started.”

Scott comes with experience to do all that, too. He grew up in Bir-mingham, Mich., and earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace En-gineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in �987. For the next five years, he designed aircraft engines for General Elec-tric. He added a master’s of science degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Cincinnati in �992 and a master’s of Business Administration from the University

of Michigan in �994. And through the years, he’s

been a world traveler: from Paris to Poland, Atlanta to Long Beach and even nantucket. He speaks three

Biala, Poland, in �994-95. He also held a federal government service assignment assisting companies in making the transition to a market-based economy. “I helped open new markets, develop a marketing information system, and improved communications with customers,” he said. He also conducted market research and identified French and German companies that led to stra-tegic partnership discussions.

The rest of the �990s were spent in Atlanta and Detroit as he gath-ered experience in strategic alliances, business development, finance, and as a venture consultant. “It takes leadership, communication and problem-solving skills to influence corporate direction and the bottom line,” he explained.

He comes to Kettering from Ann Arbor SPARK, a non-profit business accelerator that helps start-up companies grow through strategic advice. Clients have in-cluded companies in biomedical, life sciences and manufacturing. Prior to that, he was the director of busi-ness development at vale Solutions in Ann Arbor, a software provider to education and government.

Kettering’s newest corporate partners, the Michigan Small Busi-ness & Technology Development Center (MI-SBTDC), will aid Scott in his work. Scott noted that the two offices will be a one-two punch for helping new ideas get moving.

me to choose Tanzania as my volun-teer location. The country is in dire need of help to care for these affect-ed children and adults,” said Albers. To take on the volunteer job she has had to do some juggling, switching her academic and co-op rotation at Kettering, going from B-Section to A-Section. Her family and friends, the University and her co-op em-ployer, General Motors in Bowling Green, Ky., have all been supportive of her plans.

Albers and her father, Paul Albers, share a special bond. “My dad and

turned �6, she passed away suddenly and since then I have felt a strong need to help others who are less fortunate.”

Learning more about African culture and the HIv/AIDS crisis in Tanzania drew her to the volun-teer opportunity there. More than 68,000 children under �5 years are living with HIv/AIDS in Tanzania, she said, and it is estimated that from �990 to 20�0, AIDS will have increased the crude death rate in the country by more than 50 percent. “These staggering figures compelled

At first glance Keely Albers, a young woman with a self- described “need for speed” and an affinity for grease under her finger-nails, looks more like a candidate for America’s next Top Model than a future mechanical engineer. But underneath that poised and pretty exterior beats the heart of a compet-itive mini-sprint race car driver and Corvette fancier—AnD a young woman passionate about helping others.

The Chickasha, Ok., native re-cently set her sights on volunteering in Tanzania, in East Africa, for Cross Cultural Solutions, an international not-for-profit organization with vol-unteer sites in �0 countries.

Half way through her junior year at Kettering, majoring in Mechani-cal Engineering with an emphasis in Bio-Mechanical Engineering, Albers has decided to pursue a passion to help others by volunteering to work with orphans and HIv/AIDS patients in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro for six weeks beginning May ��.

“A couple of years ago, I re-searched volunteering programs online and found Cross-Cultural Solutions, and I have been trying to find the time and money to go ever since,” said Albers.

“I have always had a deep inter-est in the medical field after seeing my mother suffer from diabetes as I grew up,” she said. “Shortly after I

I really relate to John Force and his daughter, Ashley Force (both drag racers). The bond that they share at the racetrack is the same that my dad and I have experienced,” said Albers of her six-year participation in mini-sprint racing under her father’s spon-sorship. Mini-sprint racecars have 600cc, 750cc and �200cc motorcycle engines and compete on an eighth-mile dirt track.

“My dad calls me his ‘lil’ buddy.’ We are a team, on the racetrack and also in life. We’ve been through some really tough times together and managed to survive,” she said. An only child, Albers grew up help-ing out in her father’s business Performance Plus, a company that rebuilds engines for mini-sprint racecars.

“My dad has centered his career on making the fastest motors the dirt-track has ever seen,” bragged Albers, “I grew up working in his shop tuning carburetors and such. I love getting covered in grease and I love driving fast,” she said.

Albers is also receiving emotional and financial support from friends

and co-workers. “My co-workers in Bowling Green and also up at GM Headquarters in Warren, (Mich.), have openly supported my trip through many generous donations and a lot of moral support. Un-fortunately, GM’s matching grant program is not available to co-op students, but individuals have come to my rescue,” Albers said.

Her friends at Kettering have pitched in as well. Sorority sisters from Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority have given her donations and moral support. “I have been saving all of their encouraging emails so that I can take them with me to read again while I’m in Tanzania.

“My boyfriend, Marc-Ellis Brandt, is one of my biggest sup-porters and inspirations,” Albers said. Brandt, of Danville, Ill., spent six months volunteering in new Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. He encouraged Albers to pursue the volunteer opportunity with Cross Cultural Solutions. His fraternity, Delta Tau Delta, has lent support to help Albers on her trip.

After Africa Albers said she will be ready to return to school and get back to work on her long-term goals. Her dream job is to work on the Corvette Race Team. She is cur-rently trying to land a co-op posi-tion with the team.

“So far my career at GM has mostly involved alignment equip-ment, which is what I am currently working on at the Corvette plant. I am hoping that my racing back-ground, paired with my alignment experience, will allow me to work

with a race team on car setups and alignments,” she said.

“My dream growing up was to design Corvettes and here I am working at the Corvette plant in Bowling Green, staring at Z06’s all day long with the Corvette Museum right across the road. I’m living the life I used to fantasize about thanks to Kettering’s co-op program and networking capabili-ties. Life couldn’t get any better for me right now,” she said.

“I hope to always have Corvettes be a major part of my life wherever my career leads me,” she said. “On a recent visit to the Corvette Mu-seum, I did see a perfect spot for my name and picture on the Corvette Hall-of-Fame Wall. That might be my next goal after my trip to Af-rica,” she said.

“However, if when the time comes for me to graduate and I do not manage to secure a job on a race team, I have seriously looked into joining the Peace Corps and doing a two-year stint,” said Albers, add-ing “the good thing about Kettering

is that it opens doors and gives me opportunities that I never dreamed I would have.”

The first Buick Plant in the City of Flint was located on Kearsley Street just west of Stevenson. Constructed in September 1903, engine production began in December of that year and established the city of Flint as one of the first areas in the country to produce automotive components. Although most cars on the road today employ the same basic combustion engine produced by plants like this, hybrid vehicles are gaining a foothold in the automotive world and could potentially help reduce U.S. dependency on foreign oil imports in the coming years.
