Dean’s Welcome

Dr. Lei Yu Dean, College of Science and Technology Texas Southern University

It is the time of the year when we warmly welcome you, our alumni, partners, and friends, to our annual

Open House – Alumni and Partnership Luncheon! Today, we will update you on various program

initiatives, exciting news, and progress that the College has made during the 2013-2014 academic

year. We will recognize Distinguished Alumni from each of the 10 academic departments. You will have

the opportunity to observe our student research accomplishments and to tour our state-of-the-art

laboratory facilities.

The 2013-2014 academic year was exciting and fruitful for the College of Science and Technology.

The College is continuing to accumulate the energy and build the momentum for its sustainable

success. The College infrastructure has been substantially improved with profound initiatives that

have been implemented this academic year. The student enrollment has increased by 18% in the Fall

2014. This is a tremendous achievement for the entire College, which shows that our collective

efforts to improve the College’s image, services, and programs have been successful.

We are very excited about our progress in the development of our academic programs. The Texas Higher

Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has approved TSU’s proposal to offer a Civil Engineering degree

program beginning in the Spring 2015 and an Electrical and Computer Engineering degree program

beginning in the Fall 2015. With the implementation of these programs, TSU will formally become an

institution with an Engineering school! We received the official certification from the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) approving our proposed Private Pilot Ground School Course. This is notable

because TSU is now the only four-year, state-supported institution offering a Private Pilot program in

Texas.

On the research front, COST continues to perform as the most productive college in research on

campus, with a number of significant proposals funded. The COST faculty received the National

Science Foundation (NSF) Research Infrastructure in Science and Engineering (RISE) award for $1

million, the NSF CAREER award, and the NSF Phase IV award to continue the Houston Louis Stokes

Alliance for Minority Participation (H-LSAMP) program. In the Summer 2014, the College supported

20 Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) students who worked with their faculty

mentors on various research initiatives. This represents a 100% increase over the Summer 2013.

I hope you all will enjoy your time today and thank you for your continued support by attending this

luncheon!

Advisory Board Chair’s Welcome

Paul Simmons President, Paul Simmons & Associates, Inc.

Bellaire, Texas Chair, Board of Advisors

College of Science and Technology

The Advisory Board for the College of Science and Technology (COST) is delighted that you are

attending this year's Open House-Alumni and Partnership Luncheon. With the opening of the Leonard

H.O. Spearman Technology Building this past February, COST is truly a science and technology complex

on the campus of TSU. Our new building features 35 technologically advanced laboratories, multiple

computer networks and Smart Boards in each classroom, bountiful faculty offices that enhance

student/teacher interactions and many other features that allow the learning experience to flourish.

Feel free to spend some time inspecting our new facility. Contact me or the Dean for assistance.

The Advisory Board consists of the Dean of the College and the faculty leadership from the 10

departments of the College. In addition, there is significant representation from the private sector

and government. The 30 plus members of the Advisory Board represent over 1,000 years of academic

and professional experience in the area of science and technology. The robust combination of

capability, experience and dedication, has established the COST Advisory Board as a valuable force

guiding the College into the future.

Expansion in our academic programs is another point of satisfaction at COST. We have received the

official certification from the Federal Aviation Administration approving the Private Pilot Ground

School Course. The Electronics Engineering Program is fully reaccredited by the Accreditation Board

of Engineering and Technology and the Aviation Science Management and Industrial Technology

programs were reaccredited by the Association of Technology, Management and Applied Engineering.

This year, the Advisory Boa rd will continue to expand our potential research relationships with

our industrial partners. More on-ca m pus meetings will highlight the COST facilities and students'

research activities. The opening of the additional laboratory facilities in the new, second

building will enhance these opportunities.

Our request to the industry attendees today is to probe deeply into the College, Faculty and Student

body to learn who we are, how we have grown and where we are going . To get to the top as effectively as

possible, we need your partnership. Identify a COST student to nurture. Expose them to possible

careers, to your expectations through internships and hires. What you can bring to the table

compliments our efforts within our academic world. It is a privilege to have you here today with us.

If you have any questions, please stop me later or contact me th rough the Dean's office . I shall

be more than happy to assist.

COST Alumni Association President's Welcome

Perry J. Miller, M.S., A.A.E., I.A.P. General Manager William P. Hobby Airport, Houston, Acting President, College of Science and Technology Alumni Association

Welcome,

I am Perry J. Miller, proud graduate of College of Science and Technology Airway Science and Technology

Bachelor of Science Program '91 and Transportation Planning & Management Master of Science

Program '96. On behalf of the Texas Southern University, College of Science and Technology Alumni

Association, COSTAA, I extend to you an earnest welcome to this year's "STEM Excellence: Moving

Forward" Open House Alumni and Partnership Luncheon.

As we honor our most significant sponsors and distinguished alumni for their contributions toward

our success this past year, I ask that you keep your heart focused on how you, too, can contribute to

the success of the College of Science and Technology, COST, by becoming a member of COSTAA. The

primary objective of COSTAA is to provide scholarships to students majoring in one of the degree

programs offered by COST. Membership dues for COSTAA directly support fundraising activities to

accomplish this objective. I urge you to join today by completing the application in this program so you

can positively impact the shortfall in the scientific workforce by encouraging and supporting our

students who pursue scientific and technological fields of study.

Additionally, and in the very near future, you will be able to write your name in history at the new

College of Science and Technology building. Purchasing a commemorative tile on the fountain that will

be installed in front of the building is a great way to show your support of the scholarship fund. Your

tile will be prominently displayed on the façade of the water feature for everyone to see. Each time you

visit the cam pus, you will experience the pride that comes from seeing your tile and knowing that you

are a lifelong supporter of the scholarship fund. It will be a great way to show your personal support,

honor a friend, celebrate the memory of a loved one, or show the support of your organization.

Thank you.
