Executive Summary The Department of Textile Engineering, Chemistry and Science (TECS) has a history of excellence in research, teaching and learning, service to the profession and outreach and extension. On August 16, 2013, the 37 faculty members will include: four Associate Deans in the College of Textiles (COT) and the College of Engineering, two center Directors, two institute Directors, the NC State Director of Global Health Initiatives, six chaired Professors, three Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professors, 15 Professors in total, ten Associate Professors, five Assistant Professors, five women, three faculty from under-represented minority groups, one Teaching Professor, one Research Professor and five Research Assistant Professors. This faculty group has produced very impressive results in both quality and increasing output in our realms of responsibility: teaching, scholarship, technological innovation, extension and engagement, and service to the community, university and profession. For the 2012-2013 academic year; new research funding is up, scholarly publications remained strong, undergraduate enrollment has doubled since 2007, MS enrollment has increased significantly in the same time frame and our faculty have received university and external honors and awards. TECS faculty generated 96% of the COT F&A (this includes the NCRC led by TECS faculty, 86% without the NCRC), teach more than 60% of the graduate SCHs, teach more than 40% of the overall SCHs and fund and/or direct the graduate programs of approximately 80% of the PhD students. Despite this, we have had our budget cut repeatedly, our faculty are grossly underpaid relative to their peers in the College of Engineering and the College of Sciences and TECS faculty and staff positions have been taken away repeatedly and more significantly than some other college units. We are an aging faculty, especially in the case of the chemists, with potential retirements looming in the near term and we seek to maintain the level of excellence we have demonstrated in the past. In order to do that, we need to retain the position and the salary when a faculty member retires if we are to continue on the growth trajectory we have demonstrated. This growth pattern is deliberately and unquestionably aligned with the university goals and strategic plan. TECS key strategic priorities and goals from the annual report of last year have been mostly completed as we continue to meet our commitments. TECS faculty have grown in diversity, they have grown undergraduate and graduate enrollment, they have grown research funding, they publish in outstanding journals with ever higher impact factors while also maintaining a commitment to the textile-based journals and organizations that have been traditionally affiliated and they have, in the last four years, earned university awards such as: Alumni Association Outstanding Extension and Outreach Award (2) Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor (2) Alumni Outstanding Research Award Gertrude M. Cox Award for Excellence in Teaching and Learning with Technology (3) Outstanding Teacher Award (3) While the college invests heavily ($500,000/year) in undergraduate scholarships which bring outstanding students to NC State, it invests a fraction of that amount in our graduate programs. We consistently show that university investment in our department yields very rapid and multiplying financial returns that advance the university nationally and ensure continued and expanding global dominance in textile education, research and outreach. We need university investment in graduate student recruitment that is consistent with the quality and growth in research output and extramural funding TECS faculty are winning. Moreover, these investments improve the educational experience of both our undergraduate and graduate students, who are future leaders locally and globally. In summary, the TECS faculty, as a group, have been over-achievers but have not been rewarded for their efforts. This report should make clear that premise and demonstrate the wisdom of investing in TECS faculty and students. The last six faculty hired (most are currently Assistant Professors) by TECS have, over the 2010-2013 period, received research contracts of more than $5,000,000. The wisdom of investing in that kind of productivity is apparent and compelling. Bleeding TECS of faculty positions and faculty salary is counter-productive and will result in lost productivity, diminished capability and a reduction in extramural funding.

Textile Engineering, Chemistry and Science (TECS) Mission, Vision and Core Values

Department Achievements

1. Most recent faculty (last 6 hired) are demonstrated leaders and outstanding achievers (Drs. Bradford, El-Shafei, Jur, Pasquinelli, Willoughby and Zhang)

- $5,000,000 +, PI or co-PI, 2010 – 2013, from RADAR, does not include the ASSIST co-thrust leader (all)- Inaugural NC State Faculty Scholar (Zhang)- Caldwell Faculty Fellow (Pasquinelli)- Alumni Outstanding Research Award (Zhang)- Co-thrust leader on ASSIST (Jur)- Bill and Melinda Gates Award (Willoughby)- Outstanding Teacher Awards and Academy of Outstanding Teachers (El-Shafei, Pasquinelli, Zhang)- Chair of the NC section of the ACS (Pasquinelli)- Editor/editorial board for Scientific Journals (El-Shafei, Jur, Willoughby and Zhang)

2. Outstanding TECS faculty productivity through ongoing undergraduate student recruitment; ongoingpartnerships with Donghua University in Shanghai, the Colleges of Engineering and PAMS, the First Year Collegeand many others; the contributions of our two outstanding centers in the College of Textiles; and with theoutstanding effort of our faculty to secure research funding:

- New research awards for TECS faculty were up in 2012-2013: $3,308,922 in new research dollars.- TECS faculty taught 60% + of graduate student credit hours for the College of Textiles (Fall 2012)- TECS faculty taught 40% + of all student credit hours taught by the College of Textiles (Fall 2012)- TECS faculty (not including the centers) generated 86% of the COT F&A. If the TECS faculty-led NCRC

is included, F&A generated was 96% of the COT total. (2011-2012)- Full-time and part-time UG enrollment in TECS (Spring 2013) is near record high: approximately 341 (+

21 part-time). More than 100% increase since 2009 (4 years).

Changes in the TECS Service Environment:

Dr. Jerome Lavelle, Associate Dean in the College of Engineering: Joined TECS as tenured Associate Professor effective December 1, 2012 Dr. Emile Den Hartog (TPACC): Joins TECS as Associate Professor effective July 1, 2013 Dr. Nelson Vinueza-Benitez (FSI): Joins TECS as Assistant Professor effective July 1, 2013 Dr. Hechmi Hamouda: Accepted a new position as Teaching Professor, effective July 1, 2012 Dr. R. Bryan Ormond (TPACC): Joined TECS as Research Assistant Professor effective May 16, 2013 Dr. Alexander Hummel (TPACC): Joined TECS as Research Assistant Professor effective May 16, 2013 Dr. Marian McCord: Promoted to Professor of Textile Engineering and Biomedical Engineering Dr. Renzo Shamey: Promoted to Professor of Textile Chemistry Ms. Victoria Stocksdale: Promoted to Administrative Support Specialist Dr. Keith Beck: Retired effective July 1, 2013

The retirement of Dr. Beck will be a significant loss for the College of Textiles and the Department of Textile Engineering, Chemistry and Science (TECS) as he was the college resource for analytical chemistry expertise and an outstanding teacher and researcher. TECS needs the position and accompanying faculty salary in order to meet our commitments and continue to demonstrate excellence in research, education and service. We need to hire an entry-level analytical chemist to partially fill the void and provide some continuity in various research programs. The search has been postponed pending the outcome of budget decisions for the 2013-2014 academic year. The TECS budget has been hit very hard in recent budget cuts including 1.8 faculty FTEs and 1.0 staff FTE.

Department Needs Background 2009: TECS budget hardest hit in College of Textiles: $ 275,000 2011: TECS budget hit again, including a staff person: $ 131,354 Total $ 406,354 TECS faculty and staff salaries have been given away disproportionately: Office staff: 1 FTE $ Faculty #1: .3 FTE $ Faculty #2: .5 FTE $ Faculty #3: 1 FTE $ Total: $ 254,355

The TECS budget is currently $3,340,906. The permanent giveback in 2009 and 2011 was $ 406,354, more than 10% of the TECS budget.

$ 406,354 in lost budget less $ 254,355 in returned faculty salaries means $152,000 in prior graduate student support has been lost. Still, we have grown graduate enrollment during this time by implementing an effective and efficient plan:

Partner with Donghua University (and more coming) for 3+x students, Increase diversity of funding sources, Increase proposals written, Increase visibility of the department through website.

This has grown enrollment, but we are losing high quality applicants because we don’t have funds to offer when they are deciding on a graduate program. Much of the giveback was money for TA support which allowed us to attract top students. During the 10 year external review of COT graduate programs the #1 recommendation was to fund graduate students. Quoted from the report: “The college and University need to have a fund to recruit new graduate students.”

5

Retiring Faculty Salary TECS needs funds for a junior faculty member to replace, in part, the departure of Dr. Beck; graduate student support to replace a portion of the graduate student support lost; 30% of the salary for a recent Chancellors Faculty Excellence Program hire; all funded by retiring faculty salary. Below is an explanation for the need.

- One junior faculty member in the field of analytical chemistry

Education: We will have no one to teach PCC 412/414, the PCC capstone course in analytical

chemistry.

Research: The college will lose an interdisciplinary resource that many need for successful research

programs.

Outreach: The college will lose a person that has solved problems for constituencies including many

companies, the SBI and contributed to professional service.

TECS has been disproportionately hit in budget givebacks.

- Graduate student support

Enable recruitment of the highest quality graduate students, in keeping with our global ranking of #1

Textile college.

These funds will allow us to recruit an outstanding student early in the application process to be

funded later by a faculty member with grant money.

Relieve the teaching burden of our research active faculty members, so they can be more productive.

Dr. Benitez’s start-up includes two PhD students funded for three years each, at least $20,000 each.

TECS has been disproportionately hit in past budget givebacks, especially graduate student funding.

Help reverse declining faculty morale: better students means work life and productivity improve.

- 30% of the salary of a recent Chancellors Faculty Excellence Program (FEP) hire

The Provost has supplied 70% of the FEP hire, the other 30% must come from operating and

graduate student funding.

TECS should not be burdened again with cutting graduate student support to fund 30% of the position

simply because we have been proactive in contributing to the Chancellors FEP.

We need this position and the associated funding to be returned to TECS so we can continue to

build on our growth in graduate student enrollment, credit hours taught and research productivity.

Additional Needs:

TECS faculty are among the most productive researchers at NC State and have high teaching loads relative to their peers. Investing in our faculty includes giving them more time to write proposals and carry out research by reducing their teaching load. It also includes keeping our best faculty at NC State through proactive retention efforts.

- 8 TECS TAs: TECS has never used TAs. Despite low salaries relative to our peer departments at NC State, we have very little funding for TAs.

- Nine graduate students volunteered in 2012-2013 to join the CoATs Program to earn a teaching certificate knowing it was an unpaid commitment. This is a travesty we cannot remedy with our budget.

Key TECS Strategic Priorities and Short-Term and Long-Term Goals (from 2011-2012)

1. Grow diversity among the faculty TECS is adding one faculty member from an under-represented group on July 1, 2013.

2. Expand faculty participation in our interdisciplinary centers and institutes: T-PACC and NCRC (and

the NWI) and the FSI. Goals include: - Hire a Co-Director for T-PACC for Fall 2013: complete, Dr. Emile Den Hartog will begin on July 1, 2013

6

- Facilitate the FSI faculty searches as needed: complete, Dr. Nelson Benitez will be joining TECS and the FSI on July 1, 2013.

- Hire an Assistant Professor in the area of advanced systems and manufacturing analytics to integrate advanced analytics into supply chain and manufacturing processes: complete, Dr. Jerome Lavelle, Associate Professor, joined TECS on December 1, 2012. Dr. Lavelle is Associate Dean in the COE.

- Increase TECS faculty collaboration with these centers and institutes: ongoing, participation in the NWI has increased since last year.

- Hire an analytical chemist to lead analytical activities in T-PACC and TECS: unfinished business

3. Grow our Medical Textiles reputation and become the leading global academic partner in the application of innovative polymer and fiber-based solutions for healthcare. - Finalize our Medical Textiles Scientific Advisory Board in summer 2012: ongoing, we are combining

this in the TECS SAB to be complete in the summer 2013. - Hire a new faculty member in Regenerative Medicine: Chancellors Faculty Excellence: lost opportunity,

faculty position was assigned to Biomedical Engineering - Become partners on a major NIH grant in the next five years: ongoing

4. Expand our composite materials success including nano-composites.

- Collaborate with ISE, MSE, MAE and industry in the Kinston Global Transpark: ongoing, we are now collaborating with Duke and UNC–Chapel Hill on a NASA composites initiative.

- Double our research funding in composites: unfinished due especially to sequestration. - Continue investment in infrastructure and faculty: ongoing. This year we added new polymer

infrastructure including software for material selection useful in the classroom and the research laboratory. We added a Nordson coating facility with direct significance to the ASSIST center. We replaced the Differential Scanning Calorimetry heater head and many other infrastructure needs. In the coming year, we will need a new FTIR bench.

5. Revise the Textile Technology program. - Align with industry in medical textiles, technical textiles and nonwovens: ongoing. New courses and

curricula action forms have been developed, should be implemented in the coming year. - Revise the curriculum to include topics focused on the design of Technical Textile products. Complete. - Partner with TechTextil to provide students with access to the International show. Outcome: for the

Spring 2014 show, we have committed to take a large group of students to TechTextil in Atlanta.

6. Optimize admissions decisions to ensure consistent-sized high-quality undergraduate cohorts that match our classroom and laboratory facilities. Goals include: - Three UG programs, each with a cohort of 30 - 35 students will optimize our resource capacity

(laboratories and classrooms). Two sections of laboratory per class section will maintain a safe laboratory environment with no more than 18 students per laboratory section. Continuous, ongoing and successful.

- Growing the Textile Technology program, responding to needs of industry and students. Align with industry in technical textiles and nonwovens. Continuous, ongoing and successful. Enrollment has grown significantly, transformation ongoing.

- Increase quality of incoming students with targeted recruitment; especially internal and external transfers and from Summer Textile Exploration Program, Polymer Day Camp and high school student internships. Continuous, ongoing and successful.

Diversity: Initiatives and Progress The TECS department is committed to nurturing a climate of appreciation of diversity in faculty, students and staff. We are working actively to recruit top graduate students from underrepresented groups and have worked with some success to create a more diverse faculty. Table 1 shows the composition of TECS faculty based upon gender and ethnicity. Although the TECS faculty is not as diverse in underrepresented groups as we would like to be, three of the five female faculty members and one Hispanic male were among our last ten faculty hires: 2003, 2006, 2010 and 2013. Table 2 shows that more than 50% of both our undergraduate and graduate students are female. This is a first for TECS. Our undergraduate students, not including TEU students, who identify as non-white or two or more ethnicities represent more than 24% of our student body. Women and non-white students in TECS are at record highs in terms of total enrollment and percentage of the student body. 72% of our graduate students are international students. Clearly, the student body in the Department of Textile Engineering, Chemistry and Science is continuing to change and become more diverse. TECS has a responsibility to improve the diversity of the faculty in terms of ethnicity and gender and this is our commitment. Table 1. TECS T/TT faculty totals, Fall 2013 by gender and ethnicity.

Research Productivity and Scholarship

The data in Table 4 describe research activity in TECS during the 2012-2013 fiscal year. These data do not include contributions made by NCRC; a center that is extremely successful and run by TECS faculty. Research productivity was high while new research funding rebounded significantly from last year. Last year, the number of manuscripts published in peer-reviewed journals was the highest level of productivity ever experienced from TECS faculty. This year the number dropped off slightly but the quality of journals in which TECS faculty published has grown significantly in terms of Impact Factor. The research funding and proposal data is from the COT business office imported from RADAR. Publications, presentations, patent activity, proposal writing and new research dollars are all strong based upon historical comparisons.

Figure 1 includes 2009-2010 data presented at the Chancellor’s ALM meeting on September 13, 2011. It shows that the College of Textiles was rated second among NC State colleges in terms of external research for that period. As stated earlier, TECS faculty are responsible for more than 90% of the college F&A receipts when including TPACC and NCRC, centers led by TECS faculty and approximately 85% when not including Dr. Pourdeyhimi who is actually paid by the college and not TECS, though he is a TECS faculty member. When one prorates the College of Textiles research expenditures against only TECS Department faculty, who generate more than 90% of these expenditures, the results are very impressive as shown by the red star in the figure.

Table 5 illustrates the broad range of public and private organizations, domestic and international, that have recently funded research directed by TECS faculty. Table 6 illustrates the broad range of outstanding journals where TECS faculty have published recently. While some of the journals have a lower impact factor, they are nevertheless important to the overall goals of the department: supporting industry and the textile profession. Clearly, TECS faculty research is aligned well with the mission and goals of NC State University, as demonstrated by the journals in which their work is featured.

Recommendations and Concerns

TECS faculty are among the most productive researchers at NC State and have higher teaching loads than their peers. We need to invest in our faculty, by giving them more time to write proposals and carry out research. This includes providing MS TAs to relieve the most productive faculty of a portion of their teaching commitment, providing one year of funding at nationally competitive stipends for recruitment of the highest quality US and international PhD candidates.

The TECS faculty comprise a large group in the age range where retirement is approaching. We have a few key areas that must not face a gap in leadership and therefore we need to invest in highly productive faculty in specific high-growth areas. Additionally, TECS faculty salaries are very low relative to our peer groups across the NC State campus (Colleges of Engineering and Sciences). Investing in our faculty includes keeping our best through proactive retention efforts.

TECS continues to modernize its curricula that has grown undergraduate enrollment while maintaining very high placement rates and starting salaries for the graduates. TECS has grown graduate enrollment despite a large budget giveback that severely reduced our ability to recruit by offering graduate stipends. TECS has grown research funding with assistance from the university in renovating aging facilities and with the contributions of an outstanding faculty. With sufficient college and university support, the TECS faculty can continue to grow research funding while maintaining the excellent environment for teaching and learning.
