Transportation, aerospace ‘centers of excellence’ announcement expected next week
COLUMBUS - Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor Eric Fingerhut is expected to announce the next round of the state’s higher education centers of excellence next Tuesday, July 6.
Advanced transportation and aerospace centers of excellence will be announced at the University of Cincinnati’s Herman Schneider Quadrangle at 10 a.m. with area business and university representatives.
Miami Valley schools, which are involved in sensor and other types of aerospace research, are expected to be included as centers of excellence in these fields, university officials have said. The state is creating “centers of excellence” at state schools to increase specialization and limit the competition for resources, which allowing schools to shine in specific fields of research.
In April, state officials identified Case Western Reserve, Kent State, Ohio State and the universities of Cincinnati and Akron as “centers of excellence” for the development of new polymers and sensors.
At the time, area school officials said they expected their work to be recognized under aerospace and transportation.
