LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Greetings from Iowa State University’s Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering (ISU ABE). Our department wants to highlight this past year’s milestones. We have faculty success, cutting-edge research, student achievements and more to share with you. For the second year in a row, our undergraduate program earned a No.1 ranking in the nation by U.S. News and World Report (2017). Our graduate program ranked No. 2 in the nation after being ranked No. 1 last year. While we have many factors to take into account for this success, I want to draw special attention to our teaching faculty and our welcoming environment. These elements, coupled with our department’s commitment to high-quality education, research, extension and outreach, continues to serve us well in the national rankings. I would be remiss if I didn’t draw attention to our cutting-edge facilities. Our department houses such innovative facilities as the ISU Biorenewables Research Laboratory and Sukup Hall, home to many teaching and research laboratories. Our research footprint extends beyond ISU’s campus. Currently, ISU ABE researchers conduct work at such facilities as Iowa State’s BioCentury Research Farm and the Agricultural Engineering and Agronomy Research Center. We are working to create a new soil dynamics laboratory, an Iowa State Feed Mill and Grain Science Complex, and adding a new vehicle chassis dynamometer to our laboratory equipment. Each of these new facilities or equipment updates will help our students and researchers stay at the forefront in the uses of modern engineering systems that help address the important issues that our constituents are facing today. Over the past five years, our undergraduate numbers have increased by 24 percent. In those same five years, our underrepresented enrollment has increased by nearly 2 percent and female enrollment has increased by 5 percent out of our total undergraduate population. Overall, department enrollment in the fall of 2017 hit an all-time high with 821 undergraduate students and 95 graduate students, for a total of 916 students. This growth in enrollment is a direct reflection of the dedication of our faculty and staff to provide a quality, hands-on educational experience. Our focus on maintaining and growing our high-quality teaching laboratories will allow current and future ABE students to have the very best educational experiences that prepare them for a successful career.
This year, three new faculty members and four new staff members joined ISU ABE. Brett Ramirez joined us as an assistant professor in the animal production systems engineering focus area. James Wright came onboard as a senior lecturer in the occupational safety engineering focus area, and Sam Cook joined ISU ABE as a lecturer in the biological and process engineering and technology focus area. Jake Behrens takes on duties as ISU ABE’s teaching laboratory coordinator. Ashtyn Beek is the newest ISU ABE undergraduate adviser. Wenli Su is the new ISU ABE grant coordinator. Kate Tindall will assist in ISU ABE communications efforts as a public relations specialist. As ever, we have a well-balanced research funding portfolio. At date of publication, 43 percent of that funding came from industry, 29 percent from federal agencies and 14 percent from state, local and nonprofit organizations. Between 2017 and 2018, we had more than $12 million in research expenditures. Both within the state of Iowa and beyond in the global community, our department’s extension faculty bring educational and training opportunities to the public. For the 2017-2018 calendar year, our extension faculty organized 154 separate events serving nearly 13,000 people. Of those events, 113 were extension talks. They also developed 40 fact sheets, had more than 13,000 fact sheets downloaded and had more than 22,000 views of ISU ABE websites, podcasts and Twitter postings. Constant improvement would not be possible without the help of our ISU ABE External Advisory Council (EAC). This council meets twice a year with our faculty, staff and students to provide meaningful feedback to our department. You can see the EAC members and the organizations they represent on page 23. We want to extend a special thank you to ISU ABE alumni and friends. Your generous gifts of time, talent and donations make it possible to pursue crucial facility upgrades, mentor students and establish innovative professorships and faculty opportunities. We encourage you to follow us on social media (page ii), and check out our website at www.abe.iastate.edu. Finally, please keep us informed about the newest developments going on in your world, be that industry or academia. We appreciate your interest in our program here at Iowa State University. I look forward to sharing all of ISU ABE’s exciting developments in the following pages. Steve Mickelson ANNUAL REPORT | 2017-2018 | PAGE 1
ISU ABE BY THE NUMBERS The ISU ABE Department maintained its No. 1 ranking in U.S. News and World Report’s national undergraduate school rankings, released in September 2017.
