Objectives
To meet the legislative mandate (WV Code §18B-1C-3) to develop a Collaborative Engineering Strategic Plan to (i) increase West Virginia's capacity for high quality engineering instruction and research, (ii) increase access to high quality STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) instruction and research opportunities throughout the state and (iii) stimulate West Virginia's economic development throughout the state by increasing the number of professional engineers available to business and industry. The plan may address, but is not limited to, consideration of faculty issues, libraries and technology resources, research collaboration and coordination with K-12 education.
To respond to a request from the Office of the Governor to develop the state's response to "Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future," a report published in 2006 by the National Academies.
