1) Introduction
The Department of Environmental Resources Engineering (ERE) continues to mature as a
department. With a new department name, new undergraduate program, and new graduate
programs, we are positioned for continued success in the future. Evidence of this success is the
54% increase in undergraduate applications in 2011 compared to 2010, and a 111% increase in
the size of the 2011 incoming freshman class. This increase in interest in our program is not
only due to the name changes, but also the innovative educational experience we have
developed, as well as the continued success of our faculty and students.
In 2009 we updated our undergraduate program educational objectives, which are broad
statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the program is
preparing graduates to achieve. The new objectives are more consistent with SUNY ESF’s
Mission and better meet the needs of our program’s major constituents (students, faculty, alumni,
and employers). ERE’s undergraduate educational objectives are to prepare baccalaureate
students who can successfully:
• Engage in professional engineering practice specializing in natural and designed
environments,
• Pursue graduate studies in environmental resources engineering, including ecological,
geospatial and water resources engineering, and
• Expand and adapt their knowledge and skills to address the technological, environmental
and social challenges of a changing world.
ERE is currently comprised of 8 faculty members, as outlined in Table 1. Five ERE faculty
members are currently Assistant Professors, one is an Associate Professor, and two hold the rank
of Full Professor. In September 2011, 1 Assistant Professor will be promoted to the rank of
Associate Professor. In addition, in August 2011 we will be joined by a new Assistant Professor
with expertise in Water Resources Engineering. We had an extremely strong applicant pool for
this position, and believe the new hire will position us for continued local, national, and
international prominence. We currently have two Instruction Support Specialists and one
Secretary who provide support to the teaching, research, and service activities of our department
and College. They are also listed in Table 1.
As mentioned previously, there continues to be strong interest in ERE undergraduate and
graduate programs. While we had a slightly smaller freshman class in the fall of 2010 (only 18
students enrolled), this appears to be due to a relatively low yield (percentage of accepted
students who enrolled) of 30%. The yield in 2011 is current at 41%. Overall, in the fall of 2010
we had 103 undergraduates enrolled. While this was a slight drop from the previous year, it
appears the large number of incoming freshmen and transfer students will increase our 2011
numbers above those from 2009 (112 students). The number of graduate students within our
program continues to be steady, with 44 enrolled graduate students in the fall of 2010.

1) Teaching
This section outlines ERE’s teaching activities for the 2010-2011 year. It contains a workload
summary, a discussion of curriculum changes, and teaching awards and recognitions.
a) Workload summary
During the 2010-2011 academic year, ERE courses were taught by the 8 full-time ERE faculty
members and 5 Visiting Professors. The 8 ERE Faculty Members delivered a total of 24 3- or 4credit courses and 6 1-credit seminars/short-courses. The 5 Visiting Professors delivered a total
of 4 courses (12 total credits). 2 of these courses (ERE 596: Stormwater Management and
ERE796: Graduate Scholarly Writing) served primarily non-ERE students.
Table 2 outlines the main courses taught by ERE faculty members during the last year. Included
are the course numbers, course names, credits, and enrollment. Thesis, professional experience,
research, and study abroad credits were not included in this table. This table was developed from
information provided by the SUNY ESF Office of Institutional Planning. Appendix 1: ERE
Faculty Workload Report, contains a more comprehensive table outlining each ERE Faculty

b) Curriculum changes
ERE has a new undergraduate curriculum. The first graduates who followed this new curriculum
completed their degree in December 2010. The new ERE undergraduate curriculum can be
viewed at www.esf.edu/ERE/undergrad_curric.htm. ERE faculty members continue to develop
new courses which support our undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as our strategic
plans. We continue to offer an increased number of undergraduate design electives, which
provides more flexibility within the undergraduate curriculum. Table 4 includes courses taught
for either the first or second time during the 2010-2011 academic year.
During the 2010-2011 academic year, the SUNY General Education requirements were relaxed.
ESF Students are no longer required to have exposure to 9 of the 10 subject areas, but instead 7
of the 10. In response to this, the Environmental Resources Engineering undergraduate
curriculum has been updated to require an Earth Science course. This change was done to better
address the ABET/EAC curricular requirements for engineering programs accredited following
the requirements for Environmental and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

c) Teaching awards and recognitions
There have been no teaching awards given to ERE faculty members during the 2010-2011
academic year, though the service awards in Section 3) of this document contain a teaching
component.
2) Research
Throughout the last year, ERE faculty members have continued to focus attention on increasing
their overall research productivity and output in terms of publications and grants. The following
sections outline our publications and presentations, grant activity, and research awards and
recognitions.
a) Summary of publications/presentations
As outlined in ERE’s strategic plan, a greater emphasis is being put on increasing the number
and quality of publications and professional presentations by ERE Faculty. Table 5 summarizes
the number of ERE Faculty publications and presentations from June 2010 to May 2011.
Included in this table for each ERE faculty member is the number of published, in press, and
pending refereed journal articles, book chapters, science meeting/non-refereed articles,
professional presentations, and presentations at the SUNY ESF Spotlight on Research.
Appendix 2: ERE Publications and Presentations, provides details regarding the publications and
presentations listed in Table 5. This information was provided by ERE faculty members.
ERE averaged 3.6 published or in press refereed publications per faculty member during the last
year (an increase from 2.9 the previous year), with an average of 2.1 published articles per
faculty member (the same as the previous year). These publications occurred from June 2010 to
May 2011. ERE faculty members were responsible for 5 book chapters either published or in
press. The professional presentations listed in Table 5 include both poster and oral presentations
by ERE faculty members, though exclude presentations at SUNY-ESF’s Spotlight on Research
in the Spring of 2011 which are in a separate column. ERE faculty members had a total of 46
professional presentations during the last year (nearly 6 per faculty member). These
presentations occurred at a wide variety of venues, including local, regional, national, and
international conferences, and invited talks at other universities.
A separate column in Table 5 contains graduate student posters at SUNY-ESF’s Spotlight on
Research. The ERE Faculty believe in the importance of the Spotlight on Research to promote
ongoing research and project activities of our faculty and students. Of the 84 total student poster
presentations, 26 (31%) were from ERE students and faculty.

While number of publications is an important metric for scholarly output, the citations of
publications also provides useful information regarding the importance of published work to the
scholarly literature. Table 6 contains citation information for ERE Faculty. This information
was provided by the SUNY ESF Library Staff, and was obtained via the Scopus database. While
most ERE Faculty members are relatively young in their academic careers, citations of
publications by ERE Faculty members are increasing. In 2010, 201 citations of ERE
publications occurred (an increase from 195 in 2009, and there have been 689 citations in the last
5 years (an increase from 668 from 2005 - 2009).

b) Summary of grant activity
During the last year, ERE Faculty actively pursued research funding to support our expanding
educational activities. Table 7 provides a summary of research expenditures for each ERE
faculty member during the period from May 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011. This information was
provided by the SUNY ESF Office of Research Programs. ERE Faculty members were
responsible for over $821,000 in expenditures during this period. While this was a drop from
$1.17 million from the previous year, during that previous year Dr. James Hassett contributed
over $530,000 to ERE’s expenditures. Dr. Hassett has since retired, and it may take a few years
to increase our research expenditure to previous levels. Appendix 3a: ERE Sponsored Program
Expenditure Activity, contains an itemized description of each grant contributing to these totals.

d) Enumeration of other significant service activities
As outlined in Appendix 4, during the last year ERE Faculty and Staff provided ample service to
their department, college, profession, and their local and global communities. Included in Table
12 (in the Graduate Student Section of this report), is also the number of undergraduate advisees
for each ERE Faculty Member.
e) Service awards and recognitions
Assistant Professor Stewart Diemont received 2010 ESF Presidential Award for Community
Service. This award is given annually in recognition of the efforts of an instructor to incorporate
service-learning into their courses and to engage and involve students in community service
projects. Dr. Diemont has been in the forefront of ESF’s efforts to integrate teaching, research,
and service, and has been involved with a number of community efforts. Students in his courses
worked with organizations in the Near West Side of Syracuse, including Frazer Elementary, the
Boys and Girls Club, the Onondaga Environmental Institute, Delaware Elementary, the Canal
Corporation, and Creek Rats, on such activities as Onondaga Creek restoration plans, community
gardens for biocultural restoration, and rain garden design and installation.
Assistant Professor Stewart Diemont also was awarded the 2011 Undergraduate Student
Association's Best Advisor Award. This student initiated award is given to the professor
students feel is most giving of their time and energy for the advising of students. This award was
given in recognition of Dr. Diemont’s efforts to provide exceptional professional guidance to our
students.
4) Service-Learning
Service-learning is an important component of our curriculum. Our engineering students
continue to combine their engineering activities with outreach activities that aid local and global
communities. Table 10 contains a list of service learning projects completed as part of courses
delivered by ERE. This table contains the course number, course name, a brief description of the

7) Student Learning Outcomes Assessment
ERE has a formal assessment protocol that has been implemented as part of their accreditation
with the American Engineering Councils’ Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
(AEC/ABET). AEC/ABET outlines 11 program outcomes to be assessed. These outcomes are
listed in Table 15. ERE has developed a procedure, as outlined in the Spring 2010 ERE
Handbook for Program Assessment, of assessing each of these 11 outcomes at least once every 2
years. In addition, an annual assessment report is to be produced that presents results of
assessments of the past year, as well as triggers from assessments that indicate the need for
curricular changes. At the time of this report, the 2010-2011 assessment report has not yet been
developed. As such, results of the 2009-2010 assessment report are discussed here. The 20092010 report was complete in December 2010.
a) Response to previous assessment recommended actions
The 2008-2009 Annual Assessment Report contained a number of recommended actions. The
2009-2010 responses to each previously recommended action are discussed:
Recommended Action 1: Based on the continued non-uniform reporting of assessment
activities and results, a further update of the Handbook for Program Assessment is needed.
The Handbook should clearly describe the required assessment reporting protocols, and there
should be consistency between performance criteria as stated in the Handbook and the
assessment tools used by instructors to assess these criteria. In addition, the Annual
Assessment Report should reflect the use of indirect assessment tools, such as end of course
surveys, exit interviews and alumni surveys.
19
Response: The Handbook for Program Assessment was significantly revised during, and
as a result of, the January 2010 faculty retreat. This revision included refocusing the
handbook to clarify both the rationale and methodology for performing assessment as
well as the protocols used for reporting assessment activities. The Handbook was also
updated to provide a summary of all assessment tools—direct and indirect—used by the
Department. A part of the review process was determining the level in Bloom’s
taxonomy that satisfies the minimum level appropriate for assessing each outcome. In all
cases, the evaluation performed confirmed that the assessment met the lowest level
required; however, for many of the outcomes, the assessment protocol established
considers higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy.
Recommended Action 2: Since outcome (i) lifelong learning was only assessed at the
freshmen level, there is a need for further assessment of this outcome later in the
undergraduate program. To accomplish this, there is a need to develop and implement a
longitudinal assessment tool for this outcome.
Response: Outcome (i) was also assessed through the alumni survey during this
academic year. While there is still a need to develop a longitudinal assessment of this
outcome, there is logic in revisiting this outcome with the upper-class students who
participated in the freshman assessment. The first group of freshmen assessed will be
juniors in the upcoming year, and are being targeted for an additional assessment of this
outcome.
Recommended Action 3: Identify and perform direct assessments for all outcomes not
assessed during AY 2008-2009. In particular, this refers to outcome (e), (j), and parts of (g).
Response: Part of the January 2010 faculty retreat was aimed at identifying gaps,
reinforcing assessment weaknesses, and producing a stronger assessment using multiple
assessment tools. Outcome (e) and the graphical component of outcome (g) were
assessed through direct classroom methods during the AY 2009-2010. Outcome (g) and
(j) were assessed in May 2010 through Advisory Board interviews with the graduating
class. All three outcomes were also assessed through the alumni survey.
Recommended Action 4: Provide continued guidance and resources to faculty as they
develop and implement assessment tools. Provide critical review of performance criteria,
assessment tools and findings by an assessment expert external to the Department. Identify
strengths and areas for improvement in Program Assessment.
Response: One of the primary goals of the 7 May 2010 Advisory Board workshop was to
provide a critical review of the Department’s assessment protocols and to identify areas
for improvement. The Advisory Board members reviewed the Department assessment
materials, including the Assessment Handbook, Annual Reports, assessment protocols,
and the Program Criteria, and interviewed students from the graduating senior class to
provide assessments of five program outcomes (b, c, f, g, and j). A part of the workshop
was the preparation of assessment materials in a structure to help facilitate future
20
assessment reviews, such as folders documenting assessments performed for each
outcome, and supplementary documents such as the annual assessment reports and the
Assessment Handbook.
Recommended Action 5: Provide training at ABET-sponsored workshops to prepare an
assessment coordinator and faculty to lead preparations for the next ABET visit.
Response: The Chair of ERE, Charles Kroll, attended the October 2009 ABET
Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas. There he attended the Faculty Workshop on
Sustainable Assessment Processes led by Gloria Rogers, and the ABET Commission
Summit. The information obtained at this meeting was discussed with ERE Faculty
at the January 2010 Faculty Retreat, which helped facilitate improvements in our
assessment protocols.
b) Results from assessments
Table 15 contains a summary of the 2009-2010 assessment activities. Assessments were
performed for all 11 of the Criterion (a – k), with some Criteria having more than one assessment
activity. While there were no triggers requiring extensive curricular actions, there were come
comments suggesting minor course changes or clarifications. With respect to Criterion a) (an
ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering), it is important to note that
the passing rate of ERE students on the Fundamental of Engineering (FE) exam has increased
over the last 3 years. In April 2011, 92% of our enrolled students taking the FE exam passed,
exceeding the national average for the first time in over 5 years. This increase in passing rate
appears to be attributed to: (1) the increased focus in our curriculum to expose our students to
material on this exam, (2) our FE Review Class which is designed to help students prepare for
this exam, and (3) the increased quality of our students. We continue to be encouraged by the
large percentage of students who take the FE exam, indicating knowledge of the importance of
professional licensure.

c) Recommended actions
Based on the results of the 2009-2010 assessments, the following recommended actions have
been identified:
Recommended Action 1: Based on the continued non-uniform reporting of assessment
activities and results, a further update the Handbook for Program Assessment is needed. The
Handbook should clearly describe the required assessment reporting protocols, and their
should be consistency between performance criteria as stated in the Handbook and the
assessment tools used by instructors to assess these criteria. In addition, the Annual
Assessment Report should reflect the use of indirect assessment tools, such as end of course
surveys, exit interviews and alumni surveys.
Recommended Action 2: Since outcome (i) lifelong learning was only assessed at the

longitudinal assessment tool for this outcome.
Recommended Action 3: Identify and perform direct assessments for all outcomes not
assessed during AY 2008-2009. In particular, this refers to Criteria e), j), and parts of g).
Recommended Action 4: Provide continued guidance and resources to faculty as they

assessment tools and findings by an assessment expert external to the Department. Identify
strengths and areas for improvement in Program Assessment.
23
Recommended Action 5: Provide training at ABET-sponsored workshops to prepare an
assessment coordinator and faculty to lead preparations for the next ABET visit.
d) Conclusions
The assessment results collected from the ERE faculty continue to be excellent. I personally feel
we are on the right track with our assessment efforts, and are developing a structured program of
assessment that will satisfy both our needs and ABET’s requirements. We are clearly on a path
of continued success within our Faculty, and the time, effort, and attention we put on assessment
activities during the 2009-2010 academic year aids this success.
8) Progress on Goals for 2009-2010, and Plans for Goals for 2010-2011.
ERE developed a new Strategic Plan in November 2008. The Strategic Plan revolves around
four primary goals:
Goal 1: Continue to develop innovative and diverse educational approaches to enhance
our ability to train engineers to meet changing needs
Goal 2: Strengthen our engineering and scientific research through increased
publications, funded proposals, and collaborative relationships
Goal 3: Integrate service with teaching and research to address local to global needs
Goal 4: Expand the professional capabilities of ERE Faculty and Staff to enhance our
teaching, research, and outreach
For each of these goals, both short and long-term tasks were identified which would aid ERE in
achieving a specific goal. These tasks were partitioned into Departmental Tasks and Individual
Tasks, and represented an implementation plan which was part of ERE’s new Strategic Plan. In
addition to identifying tasks, a completion date for each task was also identified.
In the following sections, for each task under each goal, the progress made during 2010-2011 is
outlined (Progress 2010-2011). As there will be a change in the Chair of ERE on September 1,
2011, only tentative 2011-2012 are outlined in this report.
a) Goal 1: Continue to develop innovative and diverse educational approaches to enhance our
ability to train engineers to meet changing needs
Departmental Implementation Plan
By January 2009:
1) Improve the way we promote the educational activities of our faculty, students, and staff
(web presence, newsletter, Baker hallways, etc.).
24
2010-2011 Progress:
ERE internet site continues to be updated.
New departmental display units for Baker hallways have been designed, constructed and
displayed. Content have changed throughout the year.
New electronic projection screen have been installed on the 1st and 4th floors of Baker Lab.
The ERE Newsletter was written, printed, and sent to alumni on an annual basis.
We continue to coordinate and develop formal assessment activities, review these activities
on an annual basis, and use this information to reflect on adequacy of curriculum to satisfy
ABET and departmental outcomes (communication, technical skills, etc.).
2011-2012 Plans:
Continue activities outlined above.
Develop and print promotional pamphlets for the undergraduate and graduate programs.
2) Continue to coordinate and develop formal assessment activities, review these activities
on an annual basis, and use this information to reflect on adequacy of curriculum to
satisfy ABET and departmental outcomes (communication, technical skills, etc.).
2010-2011 Progress:
Assessment activities have been strengthened, including a new electronic server-based
assessment submittal and storage system.
2011-2012 Plans:
Seek external evaluation of assessment protocols and curriculum.
By September 2009:
3) Facilitate the change of department and degree name at the undergraduate and graduate
level.
2010-2011 Progress:
The new department name, Environmental Resources Engineering, has been formally
adopted by SUNY ESF.
The BS in Environmental Resources Engineering has been approved by SUNY and the New
York State Education Department.
The new MPS, MS, and PhD programs in Environmental Resources Engineering are
currently under review by the New York State Education Department.
2011-2012 Plans:
This goal has been accomplished.
4) Create outreach courses that serve community needs, promote ERE, and aid ERE’s
financial development.
2010-2011 Progress:
A 1-day course, an Introduction to GPS, was developed and offered by an ERE staff member
(Paul Szemkow) for free to all ESF employees.
25
ERE faculty coordinated and delivered a Professional Engineering (PE) and Fundamentals of
Engineering (FE) review course.
2011-2012 Plans:
Given other priorities in the department, few additional offerings of this type are expected in
the future.
5) Develop a prudent protocol for maintaining and improving ERE technology (research,
institution, development financing).
2010-2011 Progress:
Current equipment continues to be catalogued.
We have begun a rotation of surveying equipment for long-term maintenance.
We have started a replacement system rotation for computers in our teaching/research
laboratory (Baker 438).
2011-2012 Plans:
Maintenance schedule for all departmental equipment needs to be formulated and reviewed
by faculty.
Software licenses for a number of packages will soon expire. A sustainable system for
software upgrades and renewals must be developed.
By September 2010:
6) Increase local to global field-based opportunities for students to integrate learning,
research, and service.
2010-2011 Progress:
SUNY ESF Engineers Without Borders (EWB), which is primarily ERE students and is
supported by ERE department, continues to work on a water distribution project in northern
Honduras.
Multiple research projects in Central America involve undergraduate and graduate students.
ERE
ERE 496/596: Ecosystem Restoration Design had a 1 week intensive in Mexico prior to
starting the semester.
2011-2012 Plans
Formal transfer agreements should be developed with multiple foreign universities to
facilitate study abroad opportunities for our students.
7) Develop and implement an undergraduate and graduate student recruiting program that
increases the quality and diversity of our student body.
2010-2011 Progress:
ERE Faculty have continued recruitment of high quality undergraduate students with
engaging open houses, e-mail, and personal communication with potential candidates and
their families.
26
Department internet site improved to aid in recruitment of undergraduate and graduate
students.
Largest freshmen class in at least 15 years is entering in fall 2011.
2011-2012 Plans:
Department hopes to increase the diversity of undergraduate students.
We need more creative and formal recruitment of graduate students. Open house for
accepted graduate students should continue if a significant number of US applicants occurs.
Development of pamphlets, fliers, and posters to promote undergraduate and graduate
programs should be a priority.
Continue to improve internet site, including protocols to update and change content.
8) Provide more formal assessment of faculty and graduate student teaching, and encourage
creative teaching approaches that stimulate student interest while achieving program
outcomes.
2010-2011 Progress:
Department Review Committee developed a number of protocols for reviewing faculty.
2011-2012 Plans:
An updated version of ERE’s Tenure and Promotion Guidelines should be developed.
9) Increase the number and level of graduate course offerings to support our research and
graduate mentoring, creating engineering design electives when possible.
2010-2011 Progress:
Department has increased number of graduate and engineering design elective offerings in
Geospatial and Ecological engineering.
2011-2012 Plans:
ERE Faculty are currently teaching at the proper load, and no additional courses can be
offered.
New faculty hire in Water Resources Engineering should provide the ability to offer
additional courses in this area.
10) Create more formal structure to graduate program options, identifying core courses,
preferred courses, required seminars, etc.
2010-2011 Progress:
Lists of prerequisites and requirements for all graduate programs have been developed and
are now listed online in the university catalogue.
Spring 2011 Faculty Retreat focused on course content, and faculty reviewed and assessed
each other’s courses, providing feedback to improve these offerings.
2011-2012 Plans:
27
We should keep a close eye on graduate course offering to make sure they provide the
educational experience and exposure to knowledge we require.
11) Better facilitate the development of undergraduate student portfolios.
2010-2011 Progress:
Little has been done to address this issue.
2011-2012 Plans:
The ERE faculty is currently uncertain if this need is properly balanced with the time and
energy necessary to develop undergraduate portfolios, especially given the increasing size of
the undergraduate student body and the small faculty size. This is not a priority area for the
next year.
12) Coordinate with SUNY ESF Outreach services to develop distance-learning
opportunities.
2010-2011 Progress:
Little has been done to address this issue.
2011-2012 Plans:
Given our small faculty size, this does not currently seem to be a priority issue.
13) Develop courses that encourage the participation of local professionals and other nontraditional students (night courses, courses taught at local companies).
2010-2011 Progress:
Little has been done to address this issue.
2011-2012 Plans:
Given small faculty size and increased undergraduate enrollment, little has been done to
address this need. Should ERE faculty size increase, we may have the resources to
implement this plan.
14) Encourage club activities that have teaching, research, and/or service components.
2010-2011 Progress:
EWB has again thrived this year, with increased energy, new funding and connections, and
an important water supply project in Honduras is now at the implementation phase.
A new student chapter of the New York State Water and Environmental Association
(NYWEA) has been developed.
The Environmental Resources Engineering (ERE) Club continues to be active with increased
student participation. The ERE Club continues to take an active role in departmental
activities, promoting field trips and seminars.
The Advisory Board has taken a more active role in student design projects.
28
2011-2012 Plans:
There continues to be interest in the EWB, ERE, NYWEA, and AWMA Clubs. These
organizations are targeting continued service activities during the next year.
Advisory Board should continue to identify community needs for developing service learning

Annual mentoring letters created for all untenured faculty members coming up for
reappointment.
Chair held one-on-one sessions with all faculty members throughout year to discuss current
and future professional activities and the needs of the department.
Faculty coming up for continuing appointment provided with timeline of activities for the
upcoming year.
2011-2012 Plans:
Plans are to continue similar mentoring activities as those previously developed, with more
emphasis on identifying areas in need of improvement and advice on how to improve these
areas.
There is need for mentoring of more senior faculty members, and it is hoped that
interdepartmental mentoring can be fostered at all levels.
Faculty applying for continuing appointment will obtain more directed feedback throughout
the year.
4) Strategically allocate ERE personnel in SUNY ESF committees, and use involvement in
these committees to leverage sponsored research opportunities.
Note: This was discussed under Goal 2 Department Implementation Plan
5) Create a more interactive relationship with the ERE Advisory Board, defining areas of
ERE need, communicating these needs, and enabling the Advisory Board to aid us in
addressing these needs.
2010-2011 Progress
Large efforts continue to be made to reenergize the ERE Advisory Board, including
elucidating departmental needs, and ways for the Board to address these needs.
New advisory board members have begun service, increasing the diversity and youth of our
advisory board. Existing Advisory Board members were asked to renew their commitment to
the Board.
39

2011-2012 Plans:
We will continue to reflect back on our progress with implementing tasks to accomplish our
goals.
By September 2010:
7) Create opportunities for faculty and staff to be trained in critical needs (workshops,
trainings, etc.), and to disseminate information obtained back to faculty, staff, and
students in a formal manner.
2010-2011 Progress:
Little progress has been made on this issue.
2011-2012 Plans:
As needed, we will train faculty and staff in critical areas, as well as provide a forum for
information they obtain to be disseminated to other faculty and staff members.
8) Make strategic hires of visiting professors to create long-term, effective and efficient
relationships to help deliver our curriculum (e.g. Don Lake, Dave Gerber, etc.).
2010-2011 Progress:
We hired 5 visiting professors during the last academic year, including a new hire to address
thermodynamics and open channel hydraulics.

We hope to hire additional visiting professors to address areas of weakness in the
undergraduate curriculum, and high-need areas in our graduate program.
By September 2011:
9) Support sabbatical leaves which improve the capabilities of the department and faculty.
2010-2011 Progress:
No faculty are in a position for a sabbatical leave within the next year.
40
10) Revisit the Strategic Plan
2010-2011 Progress:
As part of the May 2010 faculty retreat, a review of the implementation plan was made to
make faculty aware of the Strategic Plan.
No additional review of the current Strategic Plan has been made given the short amount of
time that has elapsed since developing the original strategic plan.
2011-2012 Plans:
Additional faculty review of the Strategic Plan is warranted in the next year.
Individual Implementation Plan
