Mission Vision

Georgia Institute of Technology

(US)

• Technological change is fundamental to the advancement of the human condition. The Georgia Tech community—students, staff, faculty, and alumni—will realize our motto of "Progress and Service" through effectiveness and innovation in teaching and learning, our research advances, and entrepreneurship in all sectors of society. We will be leaders in improving the human condition in Georgia, the United States, and around the globe.

Pohang University of Science and Technology(S. Korea)

POSTECH was established with three basic tenets:• To provide the best education,• To perform cutting-edge research, and• To serve the nation and contribute to the

world scientific community

• POSTECH's three precepts of Integrity, Creativity, and Aspiration were decreed by our founding president, Professor Hogil Kim. He believed that Integrity should be the foundation upon which today's youth must build in their pursuit for truth and knowledge. "Any accomplishment undertaken without Integrity is a futile and wasteful expenditure of time and energy," he said. President Kim believed the pursuit of truth to be the natural inclination of a person full of genuine ambitions and aspirations. He believed originality, innovation, and ingenuity to be the forces that drive the intellect in its quest for knowledge and the pursuit of the unknown. "A scientist is a person who, by the simple nature of character and disposition, is on a never-ending search for new knowledge and truths," he said. He espoused these traits as defining qualities of those individuals whom the world often refers to as persons of genius.

• "The enterprising spirit is the basic trait of a true leader, one that plays an active role in motivating others to greater accomplishments." Professor Kim believed instilling this aspect of true leadership in its students to be one of POSTECH's fundamental goals. He stated that progress was never achieved by being satisfied and content; rather, it is through those people who are keenly motivated, tenacious, ever ready to take up the challenge, and striving towards a better future in the hope that society and the world will become a better place for all humankind.

Mission Vision

Olin College

(US)

• Olin College prepares students to become exemplary engineering innovators who recognize needs, design solutions, and engage in creative enterprises for the good of the world

• Olin College seeks to redefine engineering as a profession of innovation encompassing 1) the consideration of human and societal needs; 2) the creative design of engineering systems; and 3) the creation of value through entrepreneurial effort and philanthropy. The College is dedicated to the discovery and development of the most effective educational approaches and aspires to serve as a model for others.

• INVENTION 2000 is a blueprint for developing all academic and operational aspects of the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering from a clean slate. The plan outlines an intense two-year project intended to produce innovative educational processes for preparing the next generation of leaders in a technological society and institutional policies which will establish a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation. Intense efforts will be focused on (1) a comprehensive re-examination of engineering curricula and educational processes, (2) student life and social development, (3) institutional culture of innovation and continuous improvement, (4) college operating procedures, (5) college marketing, external relations and development, and (6) college governance.

• As an entirely new institution, the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering has a unique opportunity to innovate. Beginning with a clean slate implies that there are no legacy systems, traditions, or "bad habits" to change. As implied in INVENTION 2000, it will require considerable time and effort to take full advantage of this opportunity to rethink basic processes and to thoroughly investigate "best practices." To rush this process would ensure that the search for innovative alternatives is cut short and require off-the-shelf familiar processes or curricula to be employed simply to meet the schedule.
