Many industries have designated UMR as a “key school” such as• Boeing (one of 24)• GM (one of 29)• Ford• Caterpillar• Anheuser-Busch• Honeywell• Ameren• Alcoa• Deere• National Instruments• Exxon-Mobil• Union Pacific

UMR & USC team proposal was selected from 15 competing proposals responding to Boeing’s RFP, to provide Systems Engineering graduate education to Boeing engineers and their suppliers, worldwide.

Currently over 300 students at 25 Boeing locations are participating. Main sites are Houston, Huntsville, Los Angeles, Mesa, Philadelphia, Puget Sound, St. Louis, Washington DC, and Wichita.

210 Boeing students,113 from UMR and 07 from USC, graduated from the program during the last four academic years.

Caterpillar Mechatronics LaboratoryUMR: K. Krishnamurthy and Robert Landers

Caterpillar: Larry Mueller and Jigar Patel

The Caterpillar Mechatronics Laboratory is being developed to provide both undergraduate and graduate ME, AE, EE and CmpE students the opportunity to acquire skills in sensors and actuators, feedback control systems, design of electro-hydraulic systems, and integration of mechanical, electronic and hydraulic components.

The Caterpillar Mechatronics Laboratory will be the centerpiece for mechatronics related activities in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and will be used in several courses.

Caterpillar’s hardware and software gift is valued over $200K.

Caterpillar Mechatronics Laboratory

Lab includes 8 stations with each having a PC, MathWorks xPC TargetBox, Caterpillar electronic control module, and an electro-hydraulic test bench with subsystems used in Caterpillar industrial products.

Lab developmental effort being helped by graduate students, David Fenstermacher and

Jeff Lentz, 4 undergraduate students supported by an NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates grant, and MAE electronic technician, Mitch Cottrell.

• Jeff Lentz is currently at Caterpillar on a summer internship.

Caterpillar Mechatronics Laboratory

Current Status

– One test bench is operational and the remaining seven are in the final assembly stage.

– Some components have already been used to provide hands-on experience in ME 279, Automatic Control of Mechanical Systems.

Planned Activities– A new mechatronics course based on the Caterpillar Mechatronics

Laboratory is scheduled to be taught in Fall 2005.– The Caterpillar Mechatronics Laboratory will be integrated into

The Grainger Partnership

The UMR Power Engineering Program, one of the top five in the country, is nationally recognized as a program designed to produce graduates prepared to assume industry leadership.

In 2001 The Grainger Foundation established an annual awards program recognizing academic excellence for students in Power Engineering. Over the past four years 78 students have received $5,000 awards from this program.

Due the resounding success of The Grainger Outstanding Power Engineering Student Awards program the Foundation gave UMR $1.3 million to endow this program for the future.

Caterpillar and the CAT Foundation have generously supported UMR students and programs with gifts and grants of over $1 Million since 1992. $375,000 of that funding has been within the last 5 years. Our 2005 request for $835,000 over the next 5 years would more than double the CAT Foundation’s previous level of giving.

Thank you for consideration of our request to elevate the status of UMR to a Strategic Partner School with Caterpillar and the CAT Foundation.
