Annual Report | 2015-2016
A Record Breaking Year
Letter from the Chair This annual report highlights the accomplishments of the Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department’s faculty, staff, and students from July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016. We just celebrated 110 years as a department at ISU and our first year in our new facilities in 2015! I’m sure J. B. Davidson, the first department chair, would have been proud of how far the department has come over the decades since he was chair. We are thankful for our new facilities which have helped us to recruit top-notch faculty, staff, and students. Over the past five years, our undergraduate numbers have increased by 45% and our graduate student numbers have increased by 25%. During this same time period, the department has hired thirteen new faculty, seven new main office/ student service support staff, and three new teaching lab coordinators. The impact of this growth has helped us to increase our U.S. News and World Report rankings to #1 for our undergraduate programs and #2 for our graduate programs. New faculty hires for fiscal year 2016 include: Dr. Adina Howe, assistant professor, in the land and water resources focus area, Dr. Mehari Tekeste, assistant professor, Tim Shepherd, lecturer, and Joe Vanstrom, lecturer in the advanced machinery engineering focus area; Dr. Dirk Maier, professor, in the biological and process engineering and technology focus area; and Steve Bell, lecturer, in the occupational safety engineering focus area. New departmental support staff includes Eric Deaton, teaching lab coordinator. Dr. Stuart Birrell was promoted from Associate Professor to Professor. The Agricultural Systems Technology and Industrial Technology programs were both accredited by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE) in the fall of 2015. Our engineering programs will go through accreditation in 2018. We have grown the number of department affiliated clubs to 12 with the recent additions of the Industrial Technology Club, ISU BioBus, and Airpad. You can learn more about all of our student organizations at this web link: http://www.abe.iastate.edu/undergraduate-students/studentorganizations/. ABE @ ISU Annual Report | 2015-2016 | Page i
We added several new pieces of equipment into our teaching and research laboratories as well. These include the Flow waterjet in our ABE Student Innovation lab, a transmission dynamometer in the Vehicle Power Systems laboratory, and a 3D Systems metal printer in our Metals Manufacturing laboratory. Our faculty and staff received 29 international, national, and university awards, demonstrating the tremendous impact our faculty and staff are having in research, teaching, and extension/outreach. We continue to have a well-balanced research funding portfolio, with approximately 1/3 coming from industry, 1/3 coming from federal agencies, and 1/3 coming from state, local, and nonprofit organizations. We reached an all-time high of over $10 million in research expenditures. Our extension faculty continues to make impacts within the state of Iowa, regionally, nationally and internationally through educational/training programs, field days, developed fact sheets, popular press instances, and general stakeholder engagement. They served over 99 distinct stakeholder groups and led 73 distinct extension programs in FY16. Our department appreciates the dedicated work of our External Advisory Council members. This council meets twice a year with our faculty, staff, and students to provide meaningful feedback on our curricula, facilities, research and extension focus areas, capstone design projects and helping us to make ABE a welcoming department. You can see the EAC members and the organizations they represent on page 23. Thank you for taking the time to read through this annual report. Please keep us informed about what you have going on in your world! You can learn more about our happenings through our social media platforms, our website, and our quarterly newsletter. Thank you for your support! I look forward to sharing all the great news from this current academic year!

While maintaining our traditional connection to agriculture, our faculty researchers are also developing alternative production systems, leading innovative research for renewable energy sources, developing value-added products and processes, and implementing new methods to improve air and water quality. The ABE department’s research platform is organized into five focus areas.
Research Area: Advanced Machinery Engineering and Manufacturing Systems The agricultural and bio-production industry is dependent on advanced machinery systems to produce biorenewables, food, feed, and fiber for Iowa, the U.S. and the world. Through our research program, we discover new knowledge and advance technologies and systems needed to enhance the performance of agricultural and off-highway machinery systems, and associated manufacturing systems.
