Business w. ASU


SME Business SupportExample: Advanced Technology Innovation Center (ATIC)

• Interdisciplinary innovative collaboration among ASU faculty and small/medium size businesses

• Development of economic affairs by connecting small/medium size (technology) industry with ASU

• Small in “R”, Large in “D” and enormous in applied knowledge

• Taps into an underutilized Knowledge capital (faculty and students) at ASU

• Promotes the concept of embeddedness in the community


SME Business SupportExample: Small Business Research Alliance (SBRA)

• Assist the business community to identify and collaborate federal research opportunities for SMEs

• Increase the number of awarded federal SBIR/STTR projects to businesses in Arizona

April 2007


ASU - Managing Opportunity Dynamics of the Valley and ASU

Phoenix 6-th hottest job growth area 2003-12 (BLS)

+15 years: ASU the research university: population of 6 million

-15 years: ASU the demand for computing education not met

Computing Employment Growth (BLS 2004-14) Software engineering applications + 48% (222,000)

Software engineering systems + 43% (146,000)

Network and computer systems administrators + 38% (107,000)

Database administrators + 38% (40,000)

See: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ooh.t01.htm

Opportunity: strengthen/reshape regional economy with additional computing jobs


Two Paths to Improve ASU Computing ASU Goal: To increase the variety, capacity and quality of

programs that meet the demand for computing professionals

ASU’s Tempe Campus: Changing CSE Profile Significantly increase national stature, adding bio-informatics

Refocused emphasis on graduate education and research

ASU’s Polytechnic campus with Professional Focus Applied Computer Science and Computer Systems

High quality programs with Poly mission (ABET/CAC accreditation)

Attract students to computing programs as part of an effort to grow the campus to 8000 students in 5 years

Faculty with academic credentials and industrial relevance


Computing Studies Programs

Division of Computing Studies Mission Program focus on broad application across industry

Problem-based with tools, languages and methods

BS in Computer Systems (BS-CSys) Concentrations: Hardware, Embedded Systems

BS in Applied Computer Science (BS-ACS)

Bachelor of Applied Science Concentrations (BAS) Computer Systems Administration, Software Technology,

Microcomputers, and Cyber Security

Master of Computing Studies 33 hrs (MCST)


Division Profile Students Division has roughly 180 students (Fall 06)

Given the option to graduate under old or new programs, most have moved to new programs

Current Activities Expand Industry Relationships

ATIC

Internships, software enterprise projects

Replace and Expand Laboratory space Peralta Center under construction. 15,000 SF of new facilities for offices and labs to be

completed in summer 2008

Update lab equipment, implement laptop requirement, server facility

Increase visibility to prospective students Combined effort with other ASU computing programs

Clear differentiation from other ASU computing offerings

Faculty activities: Capstone re-design, technology transition, Cyber-forensics/assurance curriculum development,

open-source academic focus, cross-disciplinary concentrations


Differentiating Computing Programs

Computing Studies: Polytechnic - characteristics Professional programs - Focus: computing best practices,

Extensive hands-on and problem oriented curriculum,

Most upper-division and graduate courses offered are responsive to needs identified to us by the computing industry

Computer Science and Engineering at ASU Tempe Comprehensive, balanced curriculum includes the needs of industry and

basic research Related Educational Models

… Academic Enrollments are Declining…“incoming undergraduates among all degree-granting institutions who indicated they would major in CS declined by 70 percent between fall 2000 and 2005” -- UCLA/Higher Education Research Institute

US UK


… But Shouldn’t Be

“Nine of the 10 fastest growing occupations are health or computer (information technology) occupation”

-- Bureau of Labor Statistics (2004-2014)… computer jobs (except for PAs) only ones requiring a B.S.
