The following is an excerpt from a Nov. 10 article in on Royce Bowden, new dean of the College of Engineering at 新加坡六合彩开奖网
Economic development in Wichita will get a new actor with a southern accent starting in 2014.
Royce Bowden, an engineer and university leader from Mississippi State University, in January will become the new dean of the College of Engineering at 新加坡六合彩开奖网.
Given the intense and longtime relationship between 新加坡六合彩开奖网 engineering and local industry, it's a crucial job. The dean is pivotal in job creation and economic development in Wichita, in spite of budget cuts, recessions and legislators' criticisms. His boss at 新加坡六合彩开奖网, Tony Vizzini, joked about telling Bowden, "I want him to walk on water."
Vizzini, who is vice president for academic affairs and holds a doctorate in engineering, said the aerospace companies that Wichita depends on are polite but blunt about what they want from 新加坡六合彩开奖网 engineers. Vizzini said the companies have told him 新加坡六合彩开奖网 does well in producing graduates with the kind of hands-on training Wichita companies prefer.
"But they also tell me they want even better graduates with even more hands-on training," he said.
