UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING NEWSLETTER / AUTUMN 2020A college transformed looks to the futurePAGES 18-19

FROM THE DEANIn this issue of Trend we reflect on the past 10 years of the UW’s“Be Boundless — For Washington, for the World” campaignand what it has meant for the College. In one word, it’s beentransformational. Your generosity, partnership and support hastransformed students’ lives, our research enterprise and ourcommunity. On behalf of the College, I am humbled and honoredto thank you.In the past decade, nearly 16,000 individuals and organizationshave invested in the College. At the same time, the Legislaturefunded enrollment expansion in engineering and computerscience which allowed us to nearly double in size. Critical capitalprojects that supported our student growth were completedthanks to private and public investment.There is a direct link between investment in engineering —degrees and research — and overall economic health. Below weshare news of a recent economic impact report that revealed thatthe College generates 594 million in economic impact.ingenuity, perseverance and resilience that our engineeringcommunity has shown this year inspires me.

COLLEGE NEWSJihui Yang appointed Vice DeanDan Ratner named Associate Dean of Academic AffairsJihui Yang, Kyocera Professor of Materials Science &Engineering and department chair since 2017, was namedvice dean in August. In this role, Yang serves as the principalresearch administrator for the College. He ensures that theCollege’s research is conducted in a creative, efficient andethical manner and fosters best practices for integratingresearch with the College’s educational goals. He also providesleadership for strategic initiatives, and represents the Collegein activities related to major gifts fundraising, as well as federaland state relations.A Bioengineering faculty member since 2007, Dan Ratner beganleading the College’s academic programs and initiatives tosupport student success as Associate Dean of Academic Affairsin June. In this role, he manages student-focused educationalprocesses, implementation of ABET processes and educationalinnovation. Ratner has served as the UW’s Interim Associate ViceProvost for Enrollment Management, on several campus-wideacademic standards and admissions committees, and has beeninstrumental in the College’s path to Direct-to-College admission.In his research, Yang designs, synthesizes and tests advancedthermoelectric materials and lithium-ion battery materials forenergy conversion and storage.

BE BOUNDLESSInvestingIN THEALLEN SCHOOL DIRECTOR MAGDA BALAZINSKA DISCUSSES HOW MAJOR “BE BOUNDLESS”CAMPAIGN GIFTS WILL SHAPE THE UW’S COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PROGRAMFOR YEARS TO COME.Photos by Mark Stone / University of Washington6THE TREND IN ENGINEERING

In March 2017, a 50 million endowment from Paul Allen andMicrosoft established the Paul G. Allen School of ComputerScience & Engineering, elevating the UW’s computer science andengineering program from a department to a school. Two yearslater, the Bill & Melinda Gates Center for Computer Science &Engineering opened. The building doubled the space for theprogram and expanded opportunities for new and diverseresearch, collaboration, innovation and education.Because of private support, the Gates Center enabled theAllen School to double the number of students admitted tothe program. This helps the community by turning out morehighly capable graduates. Our state has a huge workforce gapin computing, which we are addressing: In 2010 we granted 277degrees and last spring there were 600, which is very exciting.The College of Engineering’s Chelsea Yates spoke to Allen SchoolDirector Magda Balazinska about the impact of these majorinvestments and how they will shape innovation for yearsto come. A recognized leader in data management systems,Balazinska has been a UW faculty member since 2006. Prior toher current role — which she assumed in January 2020 — shedirected the eScience Institute and served as Associate ViceProvost for Data Science at the UW.Number one is computer science and engineering for thegreater good. That’s what focuses our innovation. And wemust continue to maintain a strong foundation in fundamentaltechnology. We also need to continue to educate as manystudents as possible while keeping the quality of that educationhigh. We must ensure computer science is accessible to all;while we’ve made strides in diversifying our community, weneed to do more. I’m fortunate for the groundwork laid bymy predecessors Ed Lazowska and Hank Levy. Their visiontransformed our teaching and research directions and hasset us on a solid path. We have a great community, excellentpartners, a terrific dean and president. It’s exciting to beinnovating and carry this work forward.The Allen School naming was a tribute to Paul Allen’svision of the role that science and engineering shouldplay in society, particularly how technology can helpsolve humankind’s greatest challenges. We have certainlyexperienced great challenges this year. How is the AllenSchool living up to its name?Bearing Paul Allen’s name inspires and challenges us every day.We have faculty working to democratize medicine andincrease access to technology in underrepresented and ruralcommunities. Our researchers are designing robots to assistindividuals with disabilities. COVID-19 created new challenges,and many of our faculty immediately pivoted their research torespond. Our Center for Digital Fabrication, with UW Medicineand campus partners, produced medical supplies for healthcare workers. In another lab, researchers worked with healthcare professionals to create a contact tracing app that preservespeople’s privacy. Other researchers focused on the spread ofmisinformation, and others began developing machine learningmodels to assist with patient triage.Computer science and engineering should be done for thegreater good; the Allen School is full of individuals who areguided by this idea.How does private support transform research and teaching?As technology evolves and the need for computer scientistsand engineers continues to grow, our program needs to grow,too. It’s our responsibility to prepare the next generation ofinnovators who will produce ideas and technology that benefitsociety. We now have wet labs for our computer architects,labs for research in fabrication and accessibility and for handson student learning, and spaces for molecular programming,robotics and neural engineering. None of this is possiblewithout partnerships and private support.Scholarships and fellowships help make education affordableand accessible to students and help us recruit students whoare hungry to learn, excel and change the world. Endowedprofessorships provide recognition and funding that give facultyroom to take greater risks.What are the Allen School’s top priorities moving forward?Thanks to major gifts during the Be Boundless campaign,the Allen School is a research and innovation leader. Whatimpact does this have on the regional economy?The Allen School produces amazing graduates, and moststay and work in the Seattle area. The need for computerscientists extends across many industries; thanks to campaigncontributions we are producing even more talent to broadlyfuel local industry. Campaign investments have allowed us todeepen the school’s industry research partnerships. Industryhas more access to cutting-edge academic research, whilefaculty and students draw from their industry experience toinform their work. Through our speaker series and conferences,we host events that bring the top minds in academia togetherwith industry leaders in ways that companies can’t. Andentrepreneurship is thriving; Madrona Venture Group alone hasfunded 15 Allen School startups.You’re still settling into your first year as Allen Schooldirector. What have you learned so far?Since January we’ve all been operating against a backdrop ofcontinuous change and challenges. Every day I’m inspired by ourcommunity’s resilience, flexibility, kindness and dedication. Forexample, when our faculty learned they would need to shift toonline teaching, and had only two weeks to adjust, their concernwasn’t simply how to do it — they set out to do it in the best waypossible for the students and the course content. That meantcreative solutions: revising teaching strategies, redesigningclasses and implementing new tools. I’ve always been proud tobe a part of the Allen School, but never more than now. We willget through these challenging times, and we will do so together.Photos opposite page, top: The Bill & Melinda Gates Center for Computer Science &Engineering (CSE) opened on campus in 2019.
