Theconcept advances, is tested, retested and results in aproduct. Then, the product moves to the marketplaceand generates demand.Demand leads to the start of a company, eitheron a shoestring budget or fueled by a group of angelinvestors. The startup refines the product and hiresemployees — not just engineers, but salespeople,marketers, finance professionals, administrative staff.Its need for services, vendors and infrastructurecreates a supply chain. Those businesses flourish andhire more people. Momentum builds.At ASU’s Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering,this scenario happens again and again — bydesign. Solution-based research and support ofentrepreneurial skill building fuels economic growthand spawns high-value, high-wage jobs.In this issue, we highlight multiple success storiesthat resulted from research at ASU, including ZeroMass Water’s Hydropanels that produce drinkablewater using sunlight and air (p.36), NeoLight’s LEDmedical device that helps save babies with jaundice(p.42) and many new wearable health technologies byASU alumni and faculty (p.44).Nearly every occupation will soon be impactedby technology and will require reskilling or upskilling.To close the gap, ASU is committed to workforcedevelopment and preparation. We are movingtoward a lifelong learning approach that ensuresall individuals, regardless of age or socioeconomicbackground, have the knowledge and skills necessaryto compete successfully in the 21st century.We are confident, with the help of a publicinvestment for the next fiscal year proposed to thelegislature by the Arizona Board of Regents, ASU canhelp transform the entire state economy.Michael M.
