President’s Perspective By Stan Liberty President, Kettering University

Readers who have had the opportunity to meet me know that I am “bullish” on Kettering and optimistic about the future of the great lakes region. I realize there are still difficult times ahead, but I also know this region is rich in assets, which if properly mobilized and applied will contribute significantly to a bright socio-economic future for the region. At Kettering we have developed new mission and vision statements, and we are close to completing work on a new strategic plan for the institution. The Board will act on these in June 2007, so the associated documents are still officially in draft form. After approval they will be made public on our website. Although these new statements and strategic plan represent change, they do not abandon the traditional values of this institution. They only enhance and augment them. Here is a glimpse of some of the language in the new mission and vision statements that relate to my remarks above. The draft mission statement contains the following language: “Kettering University achieves its mission by: Engaging collaborative partnerships that contribute to the prosperity of our region and society.” The draft vision statement contains the following: “Kettering University will be preeminent: Regionally as a contributor to economic growth and enhancement of the quality of life.” Recently I served on a panel and made a presentation at the Great Lakes Manufacturing Forum in Toronto, Canada. This was a great opportunity for me to describe Kettering as a regional asset and share my thoughts on the future of manufacturing and the regional economy. I would like to share some excerpts from those remarks to further illustrate the linkage between our new mission/vision and the future of this region. “. . . Regional collaboration . . . is a key to a bright socio-economic future for the region but it is also a significant challenge . . . I am optimistic because I have a secret weapon. Every day, as president of a preeminent professional cooperative education institution, I observe students who are integrating workbased learning with classroom and laboratory learning, and rapidly developing the skills and knowledge essential to the infusion of innovation into the products and processes that will sustain our competitiveness in the knowledge economy…Yes, manufacturing is changing . . . there are products and processes out there in the not too distant future that we haven’t yet imagined. We in higher education have to prepare our students for jobs that don’t yet exist and to manage processes and design products that haven’t yet been conceptualized. . . . I want to emphasize my belief that the successful construction of a new economy in this region is going to be based substantially on a strong commitment, with an accompanying shift in the culture of the region, to science and technology-based entrepreneurism. A key to accelerating this phenomenon is to find ways to increase technology transfer from higher education to the private sector and from within current industry. The annual expenditures on research and development in this region are very substantial, and you know that there is a lot of protected intellectual property being generated within that R&D machine that is not related to core business objectives. That IP should not sit on the shelf. It should be the basis for spinout companies that will attract investment, create jobs and diversify the regional economy. The region is also rich in higher educational assets with large quantities of intellectual capital and scientific and technological infrastructure. But these assets historically have underperformed when it comes to technology transfer and business enterprise formation. That will change. But it won’t happen at the pace we need without a lot of collaborative effort and partnering among government, industry and education.” We are also extremely grateful to the many alumni and friends who support us through financial contributions each year. This issue serves as the annual report on the many contributions that support our students and campus. Thank you for your generosity. Sincerely,

Kettering Perspective Staff

The Hybrid Ideal By Gary J. Erwin

Some scientific facts are impossible to ignore. Oil, for example, will one day dry up, leaving cars gasping on highways for one last whiff of energy. Before the advent of automobiles, earth contained rich deposits of crude oil, from which we manufactured fuel for cars and trucks, as well as oil to heat homes and create various products. In a practical sense, such fossil fuels allowed for largescale industrial development as our world expanded. As a result, many Americans enjoy a standard of living that would otherwise be less than satisfactory if not for the creation and use of fossil fuels. But as the name suggests, fossil fuels will eventually evaporate, leaving humanity without one of its most prized commodities. Scientists 2,000 years from now studying our civilizations may indeed find hints of oil among the dusty and rusty shells of junked cars and trucks, and come to some understanding about the social, economic, political and even cultural power of oil during our existence. Researchers currently examining the issue of oil consumption and alternative power today also hope that what future scientists find are sources of power that represented an eye toward developing energy independence without environmental impact. And while fuel cell power holds perhaps the most potential, we’re still years away from full incorporation of this resource and hybrids are clearly more practical. Although hybrids such as the

However, this could all change based on some important research taking place at Kettering. Dr. Juan Pimentel and Dr. Jim Gover, professors of Electrical and Computer Engineering, recently

companies to design products faster and more cost efficiently. With this grant, the two professors will develop computer models of an entire hybrid drive train that will allow them to perform a complete analysis of a hybrid vehicle design. They can then determine its “functionality, lifetime, effects of component aging, EMI generation, mechanical and electrical effects of thermal cycling, cooling requirements and costs, among other things,” explained Gover. One possible impact of this computer modeling could be lower costs in terms of purchasing a hybrid in the future. Currently, hybrids cost anywhere from $3,500 to $6,000 more than traditional cars. More importantly, at the Detroit Auto Show in January, manufacturers displayed significantly more hybrid cars and trucks than at last year’s show. This

Ne w Partnerships

Regional office moving to campus By Patricia Mroczek Kettering recently formed a partnership with the Michigan Small Business & Technology Development Center (MI-SBTDC, www. gvsu.edu/misbtdc/) and will soon offer regional services to small businesses in Genesee and Lapeer counties. The MI-SBTDC will be housed in Kettering’s Campus Center, located at the corner of Third and Chevrolet avenues in Flint. Offices will be on the fifth floor of the Campus Center in the Graduate Studies area. The MI-SBTDC regional office will be staffed with an intake administrator, regional director and traditional business consultant. It will provide office space for one of 10 statewide technology business consultants. The technology consultants specialize in helping techminded entrepreneurs develop and commercialize products or services that involve intellectual property or patented technology. President Stan Liberty said he is pleased with this new partnership. “This collaboration will be an important asset for Kettering as we further develop our ability to assist in regional economic development,” he said. He added that Kettering “is committed to cultivating and nurturing technology-based small businesses, and having the ability in-house to provide small business services is critical to that outreach mission. Hosting the Region 6 MISBTDC on campus will also provide opportunities for the further development of entrepreneurship programming at Kettering. It will also give students increased opportunities to participate in valu-

able real-world projects and give Kettering the potential of establishing co-op positions with new corporate partners.” The regional office at Kettering will house a Biz Resource Center (BRC, www.gvsu.edu/misbtdc/index. cfm?fuseaction=home.bizresources), an extensive one-stop small business reference library of hardware, software, hard copy books and publications intended to help entrepreneurs plan or expand their businesses. The partnership will also provide support to the Lapeer Economic Development Corporation as a satellite office, a strong service provider for small businesses in Lapeer County for more than 25 years. State Director Carol Lopucki said that Biz Resource Centers provide the MI-SBTDC program with an added dimension. “They provide entrepreneurs a place where they can research their business in a quiet and professional atmosphere, with access to consultants for assistance as needed. The centers provide small business owners with the information and tools that will give them the best chance for success,” Lopucki concluded. The Michigan Small Business & Technology Development Center provides counseling, training and advocacy for Michigan’s new business ventures, existing small businesses, expanding new businesses, new technology companies, and innovators. Entrepreneurs and small business owners may access the services of their nearest MI-SBTDC by calling (616) 331-7480 or by visiting www.gvsu.edu/misbtdc/.

advice that people need to create high tech - high growth business,” Scott said. “You start by asking the question, ‘How do you commercialize an idea or technology?’ My job is to answer this question and then determine all the steps necessary to build a successful company,” he added. Scott’s not wasting any time. He moved into the business incubator on the second floor of Kettering’s C.S. Mott Engineering and Science Center in February. The incubator is a large space that features cubicles, small offices, a high-tech conference

room and the kind of office equipment needed to help entrepreneurs launch new ideas. “I’m looking for companies that need these facilities,” he explained, adding, “and who need the expert advice and the infrastructure that a world-class engineering university such as Kettering can provide them. For some, that will be purely business consulting expertise. For others, that may mean research and development, testing labs and access to faculty and students. My goal is to build companies. It’s about helping people who have high tech-high growth ideas get started.” Scott comes with experience to do all that, too. He grew up in Birmingham, Mich., and earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1987. For the next five years, he designed aircraft engines for General Electric. He added a master’s of science degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Cincinnati in 1992 and a master’s of Business Administration from the University

of Michigan in 1994. And through the years, he’s been a world traveler: from Paris to Poland, Atlanta to Long Beach and even Nantucket. He speaks three

Biala, Poland, in 1994-95. He also held a federal government service assignment assisting companies in making the transition to a marketbased economy. “I helped open new markets, develop a marketing information system, and improved communications with customers,” he said. He also conducted market research and identified French and German companies that led to strategic partnership discussions. The rest of the 1990s were spent in Atlanta and Detroit as he gathered experience in strategic alliances, business development, finance, and as a venture consultant. “It takes leadership, communication and problem-solving skills to influence corporate direction and the bottom line,” he explained. He comes to Kettering from Ann Arbor SPARK, a non-profit business accelerator that helps start-up companies grow through strategic advice. Clients have included companies in biomedical, life sciences and manufacturing. Prior to that, he was the director of business development at Vale Solutions in Ann Arbor, a software provider to education and government. Kettering’s newest corporate partners, the Michigan Small Business & Technology Development Center (MI-SBTDC), will aid Scott in his work. Scott noted that the two offices will be a one-two punch for helping new ideas get moving. He can be reached at (810) 762-9729 or via email at pscott@kettering.edu.

Student Profile

From racec ar driver t o h u m a n i ta r i a n By Dawn Hibbard

At first glance Keely Albers, a young woman with a selfdescribed “need for speed” and an affinity for grease under her fingernails, looks more like a candidate for America’s Next Top Model than a future mechanical engineer. But underneath that poised and pretty exterior beats the heart of a competitive mini-sprint race car driver and Corvette fancier—AND a young woman passionate about helping others. The Chickasha, Ok., native recently set her sights on volunteering in Tanzania, in East Africa, for Cross Cultural Solutions, an international not-for-profit organization with volunteer sites in 10 countries. Half way through her junior year at Kettering, majoring in Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis in Bio-Mechanical Engineering, Albers has decided to pursue a passion to help others by volunteering to work with orphans and HIV/AIDS patients in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro for six weeks beginning May 11. “A couple of years ago, I researched volunteering programs online and found Cross-Cultural Solutions, and I have been trying to find the time and money to go ever since,” said Albers. “I have always had a deep interest in the medical field after seeing my mother suffer from diabetes as I grew up,” she said. “Shortly after I

turned 16, she passed away suddenly and since then I have felt a strong need to help others who are less fortunate.” Learning more about African culture and the HIV/AIDS crisis in Tanzania drew her to the volunteer opportunity there. More than 68,000 children under 15 years are living with HIV/AIDS in Tanzania, she said, and it is estimated that from 1990 to 2010, AIDS will have increased the crude death rate in the country by more than 50 percent. “These staggering figures compelled

me to choose Tanzania as my volunteer location. The country is in dire need of help to care for these affected children and adults,” said Albers. To take on the volunteer job she has had to do some juggling, switching her academic and co-op rotation at Kettering, going from B-Section to A-Section. Her family and friends, the University and her co-op employer, General Motors in Bowling Green, Ky., have all been supportive of her plans. Albers and her father, Paul Albers, share a special bond. “My dad and

I really relate to John Force and his daughter, Ashley Force (both drag racers). The bond that they share at the racetrack is the same that my dad and I have experienced,” said Albers of her six-year participation in minisprint racing under her father’s sponsorship. Mini-sprint racecars have 600cc, 750cc and 1200cc motorcycle engines and compete on an eighthmile dirt track. “My dad calls me his ‘lil’ buddy.’ We are a team, on the racetrack and also in life. We’ve been through some really tough times together and managed to survive,” she said. An only child, Albers grew up helping out in her father’s business Performance Plus, a company that rebuilds engines for mini-sprint racecars. “My dad has centered his career on making the fastest motors the dirt-track has ever seen,” bragged Albers, “I grew up working in his shop tuning carburetors and such. I love getting covered in grease and I love driving fast,” she said. Albers is also receiving emotional and financial support from friends

and co-workers. “My co-workers in Bowling Green and also up at GM Headquarters in Warren, (Mich.), have openly supported my trip through many generous donations and a lot of moral support. Unfortunately, GM’s matching grant program is not available to co-op students, but individuals have come to my rescue,” Albers said. Her friends at Kettering have pitched in as well. Sorority sisters from Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority have given her donations and moral support. “I have been saving all of their encouraging emails so that I can take them with me to read again while I’m in Tanzania. “My boyfriend, Marc-Ellis Brandt, is one of my biggest supporters and inspirations,” Albers said. Brandt, of Danville, Ill., spent six months volunteering in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. He encouraged Albers to pursue the volunteer opportunity with Cross Cultural Solutions. His fraternity, Delta Tau Delta, has lent support to help Albers on her trip.

with a race team on car setups and alignments,” she said. “My dream growing up was to design Corvettes and here I am working at the Corvette plant in Bowling Green, staring at Z06’s all day long with the Corvette Museum right across the road. I’m living the life I used to fantasize about thanks to Kettering’s co-op program and networking capabilities. Life couldn’t get any better for me right now,” she said. “I hope to always have Corvettes be a major part of my life wherever my career leads me,” she said. “On a recent visit to the Corvette Museum, I did see a perfect spot for my name and picture on the Corvette Hall-of-Fame Wall. That might be my next goal after my trip to Africa,” she said. “However, if when the time comes for me to graduate and I do not manage to secure a job on a race team, I have seriously looked into joining the Peace Corps and doing a two-year stint,” said Albers, adding “the good thing about Kettering

“I grew up working in his shop tuning carburetors and such. I love getting covered in grease and I love driving fast.” After Africa Albers said she will be ready to return to school and get back to work on her long-term goals. Her dream job is to work on the Corvette Race Team. She is currently trying to land a co-op position with the team. “So far my career at GM has mostly involved alignment equipment, which is what I am currently working on at the Corvette plant. I am hoping that my racing background, paired with my alignment experience, will allow me to work

Freshmen.” According to Griffin, this article “renewed some exciting memories of being welcomed in the spring of 1946 by Major Sobey and Guy Cowing to the inauguration of a special B-Section term. There were dozens of other enthusiastic G.I. Bill veterans and one or two high school kids…There were plenty of discharged G.I.s still partially in uniform, including 50mission caps, ribbons, and rank, proclaiming which branch they served. Most of us were married, many with children. We weren’t kids, but serious men in a hurry to recover three to five years of a critical time in our lives. The process was orderly and in good spirit as we became acquainted with new friends and fellow students from throughout the General Motors world. It reminded me of O’ Henry’s story, ‘The Chair of Phelanthromatics.’ A line from that reads, ‘In about two weeks the professors got the students disarmed and herded into classes.’ We were as old as the instructors in many instances. Five years later, they herded us slide rule jockeys into the Flint IMA Auditorium where GM President Charlie ‘Engine’ Wilson handed us our degrees or diplomas. I enjoy your publication and take pride in saying that I was educated at Kettering/GMI, even if it was more than 60 years ago.” Jim Hudson and his wife, Lois, moved to Missouri to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Friends can email them at jhudson@ hyperband.com and he would enjoy hearing from you. He was the GMTE president his senior year, participated in the 50th reunion and is still interested in Kettering/GMI. John Marshall, the only dealer program graduate to become a ROBOT, welcomed Sue Weiss from Kettering University’s

who served in the New Jersey Militia of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Additionally, Bud Little says that Gene Weaver, who was a brother in Alpha Delta fraternity, sent an article titled “A Frat for Misfits at OLD MISS” that appeared in the Orange County edition of the “Los Angeles Times” on Dec. 16. The article reads as follows: “Cheers! A motley band of foreign students and domestic square pegs has created its own fraternity: the Awesome Dudes of Alpha Delta. It is the University of Mississippi’s newest fraternity. The Awesome Dudes are a group at Miss and have ‘christened themselves as the Awesome Dudes of Alpha Delta.’ “What am I to think as I drink beer from my trusty Alpha Delta beer stein?” Weaver writes in a letter to Little about this story. According to Little, the Alpha Delta beer stein no longer exists. The fraternity was also one of the earliest in GMI’s history, but it was canceled years ago and joined with Phi Delta Theta. Thomas and Joan Hruby celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in October. Fifty people from 11 states and two foreign countries joined in the celebration held in Florence, Ala.

OPEN FOR BUSINESS By Gary J. Erwin

The entrepreneurial landscape is a bit rough these days, pocked with sink holes into which many good and bad ideas flounder and eventually drown. History has shown that markets for products can flourish one minute and then dry up the next like a shallow riverbed in Mid-Michigan during the hot and humid summer. Sometimes it’s simply not enough to invent a product. Entrepreneurs must consider their intended marketplace, start-up costs, competition, manufacturing capabilities, consumer reaction to potential products, as well as the political, cultural and societal implications of bringing goods to the buying public. Dr. Massoud Tavakoli, professor of Mechanical Engineering, and Dr. Andy Borchers ‘80, associate professor of Business, understand that it takes substantially more muscle to insure the widespread acceptance of a good idea in U.S. and global markets. In 2006 the two Kettering professors authored a proposal to the National Collegiate Inventors & Innovators Alliance (NCIIA)/ Kern Family Foundation to support the “e-Kettering Initiative,” a program that works to develop the innovation and entrepreneurial skills and desires among students (www.kettering.edu/news/ archivedDetail.asp?storynum=459). They received a $50,000 fellowship for this effort and one of the deliverables for the project includes the creation of the Kettering Entrepreneur Society (www.KESociety.com). The vision of the KES is to promote an entrepreneurial culture at Kettering University based on innovation and social value. The organization fulfills

this mission by providing resources for successful implementation of an entrepreneurial venture and by stimulating regional and global economic development. In January, the group held its first informational meeting and more than 40 students attended to learn more about how they can put their entrepreneurial ideas into action. According to Tavakoli, who serves as the adviser for the group, the KES can offer students who wish to develop their entrepreneurial skills many instructional and practical resources. “The goal,” he said, “is to develop the entrepreneurial aspects of students, including the technical, business and management issues involved with developing an idea. Student members of KES are really driving the continuous development of the Society and it’s clear many of them are very interested and serious about becoming entrepreneurs.” This organization is well-suited for Kettering students. Through the years, many graduates have developed businesses and products that have benefited our society. For example, Ermal Fraze ’39 developed and patented the first removable tab for soda cans (often called the “pull-top”), and Milford Barron ’37 invented a skin graft surgical instrument to help burn victims, as well as the Janke-Barron Heart Support used by surgeons to cradle the heart during surgery. As the outsourcing of jobs and research and design become more readily accepted by American firms, students with good business ideas require support and encouragement to pursue these ideas in the United States. More importantly, as the

state of Michigan moves forward in its efforts to re-establish the region as a fertile location for new business development, activities such as those fostered by the KES support a new vision of what the state can offer individuals with good business and entrepreneur ideas. To help students develop their ideas and achieve success like Fraze and Barron, Tavakoli said that Kettering faculty, alumni and business owners will play pivotal roles in the work of the Society by serving as mentors to students. This includes matching faculty, entrepreneurs who graduated from the institution and owners with specific expertise in a particular area to students who wish to develop an entrepreneurial opportunity for a business idea. In addition, the KES will raise funds to send students to short courses, seminars and conferences. For Kettering Computer Engineering major Jerry Fairbanks of Farmington, N. M., a senior who is also one of the founding members of the KES, this effort fulfills a critical need at the University. “I’ve always been interested in research with regard to computers and have had an idea that involves patent law. After speaking with Professor James McLaughlin, who is also an attorney, I would like to open a law firm one day that focuses on bringing in patents from other countries and sell them to U.S. firms,” he said. To learn more about the Kettering Entrepreneur Society, visit the website, call Dr. Massoud Tavakoli at (810) 762-7922, or email him at mtavakol@ kettering.edu.

their vision in a six-point plan for the House, which they control 58-52. The plan includes: • fighting the skyrocketing cost of health care through such methods as a statewide catastrophic health care pool and health care for uninsured workers; • strengthening schools and open the doors of educational opportunities for all citizens by reforming education and continuing the Michigan Promise scholarship program; • addressing Michigan's energy needs by promoting alternative energy development and conservation; • protecting Michigan's Great Lakes and fight Canadian and other out-of-state trash by stopping corporate use of our fresh water resources and curbing trash trade; • strengthening consumer protections by tackling redlining by insurance companies, tax pop-ups and security breaches of consumer information; and • restoring integrity to the House by banning public officials from lobbying for one year after leaving office, requiring personal finance disclosures and banning lawmakers from getting state grants. Dr. Joel Berry ‘79, academic department head for Mechanical Engineering, said the University is part of the alternative energy solution for the economic development of Michigan. Citing activities going on in the Fuel Cell Center alone, Berry highlighted Kettering’s involvement in economic and educational development.

Cardinal Health: A family affair By Dawn Hibbard

The Cardinal Machine Company from Clio, Mich., visited campus in December to officially install the Cardinal Machine logo plaque on the Cooperative Education Partners “Wall of Fame” in the Great Court of the Campus Center. Currently, two Kettering alumni and a student work for Cardinal: Jeremy Clontz ’98, Engineering manager, David Bender ’03, project engineer, and Kettering senior Michael Bender, working with his brother David. “The Kettering partnership has been a good one for us,” said Brian Pennington, president of Cardinal Machine Company. “The program gives us an opportunity to build young talent. We believe in building talent from within the organization and Kettering gives us the chance to bring young people in and develop them into good engineering prospects,” he added. Cardinal Machine Company has been a Kettering coop partner since 1993. It is a privately owned corporation, established in 1972 as a designer and builder of special machines and tools. The company provides equipment and service to Tier 1, 2, and 3 automotive and non-automotive customers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and China. Their products and services include design and comprehensive machine building and rebuilding, lean assembly cells, resistance and arc welding machines, gas fill technology and pressure vessels. The Bender brothers really DO keep it all in the family. While they do not work directly with one another at Cardinal

Engagements

Visitors from Cardinal who came to campus in December included (from left) Kettering’s Laura Bender; Britt Coleman, plant manager; David Bender ’03; Brian Pennington, president; Linda Pennington, secretary/treasurer; Dr. Stan Liberty; Jeremy Clontz ’98, Engineering manager; and Michael Bender, a current co-op at the company.

and despite having attended the same college five years apart, when Michael graduates in 2008 they will both have undergraduate degrees with a double major: Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering, considered one of the toughest academic dual degree programs at the University. Through it all, they managed to stay close to their mother Laura Bender, who works in the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department at Kettering.

A Look Back...

The first Buick Plant in the City of Flint was located on Kearsley Street just west of Stevenson. Constructed in September 1903, engine production began in December of that year and established the city of Flint as one of the first areas in the country to produce automotive components. Although most cars on the road today employ the same basic combustion engine produced by plants like this, hybrid vehicles are gaining a foothold in the automotive world and could potentially help reduce U.S. dependency on foreign oil imports in the coming years.
