President’s Address
C. D. Mote, Jr.
President, National Academy of Engineering
Vice Chair, Governing Board of the National Research Council
. D. Mote, Jr. is president of the National Academy of Engineering and Regents’ Professor on
C
leave from the University of Maryland, College Park.
Dr. Mote is a native Californian who earned his BS, MS, and PhD degrees at the University
of California, Berkeley in mechanical engineering between 1959 and 1963. After a
postdoctoral year in England and three years as an assistant professor at the Carnegie
Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, he returned to Berkeley to join the faculty in mechanical
engineering for the next 31 years. He and his students investigated the dynamics, stability,
and control of high-speed rotating and translating continua (e.g., disks, webs, tapes, and
cables) as well as biomechanical problems associated with snow skiing. He coined the area
called “dynamics of axially moving materials” encompassing these systems. Fifty-eight PhD
students earned their degrees under his mentorship.
He held an endowed chair in mechanical systems at Berkeley and chaired the Mechanical
Engineering Department from 1987 to 1991, when the National Research Council (NRC)
ranked its graduate program effectiveness highest nationally. Because of his success at
raising funds for mechanical engineering, in 1991 he was appointed vice chancellor expressly
to create and lead a $1 billion capital campaign, which raised $1.4 billion.
In 1998 Dr. Mote was recruited to the presidency of the University of Maryland, College
Park, a position he held until 2010 when he was appointed Regents’ Professor. His goal for
the university was to elevate its self-expectation of achievement and its national and global
positions through proactive initiatives. During his tenure the number of Academy members on
the faculty tripled, three Nobel laureates were recognized, and an accredited school of public
health and a new department of bioengineering were created. He also founded a 130-acre
research park next to the campus, faculty research funds increased by 150 percent, and
partnerships with surrounding federal agencies and with international organizations expanded
greatly. The number of students studying abroad tripled, and he created an annual open house
day that attracts over 100,000 visitors, founded a charitable foundation for the campus whose
board of trustees launched and led a successful $1 billion capital campaign, and took to lunch
every student that wanted to go. The Academic Ranking of World Universities ranked the
campus #36 in 2010 and its Engineering School #13.
The NAE elected him to membership in 1988 and to the positions of Councillor (2002–2008),
Treasurer (2009–2013), and President for a six-year term beginning July 1, 2013. He has
served on the NRC Governing Board Executive Committee since 2009. He chaired the NRC
Committee on Global Science and Technology Strategies and Their Effects on US National
Security (2009–2010), and cochaired the National Academies Government-University-Industry
Research Roundtable (2007–2013) and Committee on Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics Workforce Needs for the US Department of Defense and the US Industrial
Base (2011–2012). He was vice chair of the NRC Committee on Department of Defense Basic
Research (2004) and served on the National Academies committee that authored the Rising
Above the Gathering Storm reports of 2005 and 2010. He was also a founding member of the
FBI’s National Security Higher Education Advisory Board (2005–2010).
Dr. Mote’s recognitions include the NAE Founders Award, the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers Medal, and the Humboldt Prize of the Federal Republic of Germany. At the University
of California, Berkeley, he was honored with the Distinguished Teaching Award, Distinguished

Lord Alec N. Broers
House of Lords
Parliament of the United Kingdom
Lord Broers, FREng FRS, was president of the Royal Academy of Engineering (2001−2006)
and played a significant role in the University of Cambridge’s rise as a major economic force
and center of excellence for high technology and was vice chancellor from 1996 to 2003. He
has always expressed strong views about the role of engineers in society, considering that
any artificial barrier between engineering and the rest of science is just as damaging as the
perceived division between the arts and sciences. He sees engineering and science as two
sides of the same coin and believes that national engineering academies are ideally placed to
drive home this message.
Lord Broers spent nearly 20 years of his career in research with IBM, working at the Thomas J.
Watson Research Center in New York, the East Fishkill Development Laboratory, and corporate
headquarters.
When he arrived back in Cambridge, he set up a nanofabrication laboratory to extend
the technology of miniaturization to the atomic scale. He also developed his research on
using electrons, X-rays, and ultraviolet light in microscopy and on making microelectronic
components.
Lord Broers has served on numerous national and international committees, including the UK
government’s Council for Science and Technology, the NATO Special Panel on Nanoscience,
NAE 2015 Annual Meeting 13
M O N D A Y, O C T O B E R 5
and the NAE panel that selected the fourteen Grand Challenges for Engineering. He is a
fellow of the Royal Society and the Royal Academy of Engineering, a foreign member of the
US National Academy of Engineering and Chinese Academy of Engineering, and an honorary
fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Science and Engineering.
He has served on the board of directors of Lucas Industries, Vodafone, Plastic Logic, RJ Mears
LLC, and Bio Nano Consulting and is currently on the board of FlexEnable.
On June 21, 2004, Her Majesty the Queen made him a life Peer in recognition of his
contributions to engineering and higher education. He serves as a cross-bench member of
the House of Lords and has chaired the select committee for Science and Technology and the
Diamond Light Source, and was president of the Royal Academy of Engineering.
Lord Broers received a first degree in physics from Melbourne University in 1959, a degree in
electrical sciences from the University of Cambridge (after arriving initially as a choral scholar),
and his PhD at the University of Cambridge in 1965.

GUEST PROGRAM
Sunday, October 4
On Sunday, October 4, guests are invited to join NAE members and foreign member for brunch, followed by the public
program including the induction of new members and foreign members of the Class of 2015. They are invited to
stay for the afternoon program of the awards ceremonies, the plenary speakers addressing the Grand Challenges of
Engineering—the topic for this year’s meeting—and the presentation of awards to the winners of the NAE’s E4U2
video contest.
Monday, October 5 — Registration for the Monday Guest Program is required.
Continental Breakfast from 7:00 am until 8:30 am in the Great Hall.
On the morning of Monday, October 5, guests are invited to the public forum, NAE Grand Challenges for Engineering:
Imperatives, Prospects, and Priorities (see page 13 for more information), or may choose to participate in one of the
guest tours described below.
Lunch will be provided at the Cosmos Club for those who participate in the Monday Guest Program. After the luncheon,
bus transportation will be available from the NAS Building and the Cosmos Club to the JW Marriott Hotel. For those
attending the Forum or choosing to learn (with the iPad app) about the ceiling of the Great Hall in the NAS Building, a
buffet luncheon will be available in the tent on the West Lawn.
Tour of the Freer | Sackler Galleries — Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
Buses will leave the NAS Building at 9:30 for the drive to the Freer |Sackler Galleries. The Freer Gallery of Art opened
to the public in 1923 and is home to an important collection of 19th century American art, including James McNeill
Whistler’s Peacock Room. The tour will start in the Peacock Room, where a docent will give the history of the room
and talk about the relationship between the artist and his patron. This room is considered one of the earlier and most
controversial art installations on record.
The tour will then move to the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery to view the installation of the Peacock Room REMIX: Filthy Lucre
by painter Darren Waterson. Mr. Waterson plays to the tension of the relationship of the artist and patron and highlights
the complicated relationship between art and money, patronage and ego. The two rooms contrast the difference
between creativity in the 19th century and today. After the hour-long tour, guests will have time to visit other galleries
recommended by the docent and to visit the museum shops.
Tour of the Textile Museum — Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
Buses leave the NAS Building at 9:45 am for the short drive to the Textile Museum, which is now just up the street in
the heart of George Washington University’s Foggy Bottom campus. The visit to the museum starts with a docent-led
tour of China: Through the Lens of John Thomson. Thomson was a Scottish photographer and travel writer who made
several trips across China in the late 1800s, and the museum writes that his photographs provide “a lasting record of
nineteenth-century China’s landscapes, architecture, communities, and customs.” The colorful textiles and accessories
from the Qing Dynasty will bring to life the black and white photographs.
After the approximately hour-long tour, guests will have time to take in the museum’s Washingtoniana Collection, which
documents the formation, development, and history of Washington, DC, from the 18th to the mid-20th century. The
collection includes nearly 1,000 manuscripts, books, newspapers, broadsides, photographs, postage stamps, paper
currencies, and prints and maps.
Tour of the NAS Building — Please register for this tour in Room 120.
Alana Quinn, of the Cultural Programs of the National Academy of Sciences, will take participants on a tour of the
NAS Building. Starting in the foyer, she will talk about the bronze and glass doors and then visit the Members’ Center,
Members’ Room, and Lecture Room. Find out about the painting of President Lincoln signing the charter for the National
Academy of Sciences in the Board Room. Utilizing our new Great Hall Dome Explorer iPad App, the tour will end with an
in-depth look at the Great Hall and its beautifully restored ornate decorations.
This program will last approximately 45 minutes. Guests are invited to bring their own iPad (although this is not required).
The tour will begin in the West Court at 9:00 am. Lunch will be provided afterward in the tent on the West Lawn.

2014 HONOR ROLL OF DONORS
ANNUAL GIVING SOCIETIES
The National Academy of Engineering gratefully acknowledges the following members and friends who
made charitable contributions to the NAE, and NAE members who supported the Committee on Human
Rights, a joint committee of the three academies, during 2014. The collective, private philanthropy of these
individuals has a great impact on the NAE and its ability to be a national voice for engineering. We
acknowledge contributions made as personal gifts or as gifts facilitated through a donor-advised fund,
matching gift program, or family foundation.
Ursula Burns (’13), chair and CEO of Xerox, generously gave $100,000 to the NAE in celebration of the
50th Anniversary and to encourage philanthropy among newer NAE members. She challenged members
of the classes of 2012, 2013, and 2014 to collectively give $100,000 to enable a stronger, more proactive
NAE. The members who participated in the Burns Challenge are noted with the ◊ symbol.
