UNL's College of Engineering and Technology received
less in research grants for the 1981-82 academic year
than in previous school years, according to an associate
dean of the college.
Edward Anderson, also director of the Engineering
Research Center, said the decrease is primarily the result
of the economy and the attitudes of the federal and state
governments toward research.
"Rather than' the federal government wanting to be
the primary supporter of research," Anderson said, "the
federal government is trying to get the private sector to
help more."
Anderson said that if the college can attract private
sources of funds, the federal government will malce money
available also. Traditionally he said, grants have come in
relatively equal proportions from state, federal and
private sources. In the past two years, support for engine
ering research nationwide has decreased by between
one-fourth and one-third, he said.
Private support increasing
During those years, however, the amount of support
for research in the private sector has greatly increased,
he said. The partnership between government and pri
vate funding should exist, Anderson said, but added
that the private sector doesn't have the resources to
provide as big a share as the federal government wants
it to.
Anderson said private grants should increase in the

future but eventually will level off.
An encouraging trend, he said, is that granting agen
cies, which traditionally have granted funds for specific
projects or specific equipment, are now beginning to
award more general grants, such as those for graduate
assistants or equipment. He said this is an attempt to
deal with the American engineering crisis - a situation
brought on primarily by an economy in which fewer
engineering graduates are becoming teachers. Teaching
positions are left unfilled and engineering laboratories
have been, allowed to fall behind Current technology
levels, he said.
Active grants lower
Until the 1981-82 academic year, the college had
received larger amounts in active grants each year (total
amounts granted as opposed to pro-rated funds, the
amount spent in any given year).
In 1980-81, for example, the. total active grants re
ceived by the college amounted to $2,261,809. In 1981
82, the amount was $1,553, 231, according to the col
lege's October 1982 newsletter. Anderson said the ef
fects of the decrease will begin to be noticed this year.
The center's director said he's optimistic about the
future of engineering education as a whole, both nation
wide and at UNL.
"If you're an educator today," he said, "the best
place to be is in engineering."
Crises in the engineering field are beginning to be
addressed, Anderson said, adding that he forsees an
upswing in the economy before too long. 0
