Our last day of our Pacific Northwest swing started with a chance to catch up with Robert Higgins. It was great to see him that morning since he was going to miss our Pau Hana later that evening — and he had a pretty good excuse: it was his 49th wedding anniversary! Dinner and a play were on the agenda. Congratulations, Bob!

Since we were already in the U District, we also had the opportunity to meet with Ashlee Esteban-Akimoto, Amy Sallin, and Ryan Buckmaster from CoMotion at University of Washington and the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship. We learned more about how they approach technology transfer, support faculty and students launching startups, and work with entrepreneurs from outside the university as well. Lots of good ideas and lessons for us as we continue building support for innovation and entrepreneurship at UH.

We wrapped up the trip with our annual Engineering Alumni Pau Hana at Ono Authentic Hawaiian Poke in Edmonds, Washington. It was a great evening talking story and reconnecting with more than 30 alumni.

A really nice way to close out the trip — good conversations, good food, and plenty to bring home with us. 🤙

Day 4 was all about catching up with old friends.

We started the day with Dave and Anita Spangler, who somehow seem even busier in retirement. So jealous!

Then we caught up with Ray Kanemori and heard what he’s been up to over the past year. Always great to reconnect.

We wrapped up the day in Everett, talking story with Casey Kamikawa at Boeing and touring the hangars to see the 777 and 737 assembly lines. AMAZING!

We’re especially happy for Casey in his new role leading the structures group for the 777 wings. So proud of him, and great to know they’re in good hands.

And on the drive back to the hotel, Mt. Rainier gave us one last reminder of just how beautiful the Pacific Northwest is. An amazing sight and a great way to end the day.

Happy Throwback Thursday! Dedication of a City and County of Honolulu bus stop in the late 1980s.

Civil engineering students, as an ASCE student chapter, built the bus stop and gained valuable educational and practical experience. The city contributed the materials and the students provided the expertise to build the bus stop

Day 3 took us back up I-5 from Portland to Seattle, where we spent the afternoon visiting our friend Steve Mattson, who gave us a behind-the-scenes tour of Climate Pledge Arena, home of the WNBA’s Seattle Storm and NHL’s Seattle Kraken.

What an impressive facility! The arena is packed with innovative engineering and sustainability features designed to help it meet the ambitious goals of Amazon’s Climate Pledge and its commitment to “Make Us Better.”

A big mahalo to Steve for taking the time to host us and give us such a great look around this amazing facility!

Day 2 took us to the Oregon State University College of Engineering, where we spent the day exploring new opportunities for collaboration.

We toured the Huang Robotics Center, Wallace Energy Systems & Renewables Facility, Construction and Safety Lab, Transportation Lab, innovation and manufacturing labs, and got an advance look at the soon-to-open Jen-Hsun (Jensen) Huang and Lori Mills Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex. The new complex will house OSU’s supercomputing center while also bringing together industry, academic partners, and entrepreneurs to support innovation and new ventures across a range of disciplines.

Many of our faculty have existing relationships with OSU colleagues through research collaborations and use of facilities like the world-class Hinsdale Wave Research Lab, and we look forward to expanding those connections even further.

Mahalo to Dean Forrest Masters for helping arrange the meetings and tours, and to Associate Dean Eduardo Cotilla-Sanchez for being such a gracious host and guide throughout the visit. 🤙

We kicked off this year’s Pacific Northwest Trip by sharing lunch with Dr. Forrest Masters, Dean of the College of Engineering at Oregon State University.

We had a great conversation about the synergies between our two colleges and the opportunities for collaboration that can grow from this relationship, not only through research among our faculty, but also through programs and initiatives we can pursue together for the benefit of our students and broader communities.

Looking forward to what we can accomplish together!

We visited our friends at BG Workforce Solutions, who gave us a tour of The Forge, an advanced expeditionary manufacturing and prototyping facility located at Schofield Barracks.

It was really great to see firsthand the investment the United States Department of War and its Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) Program are making to grow advanced manufacturing capabilities and resources right here in Hawaiʻi. What’s especially exciting is seeing how all of these efforts can complement and build on what we’re doing at the University of Hawaiʻi, not just here at the College of Engineering, but also at Honolulu Community College and Leeward Community College.

There’s a lot happening in advanced manufacturing across Hawaiʻi right now, and it’s exciting to see the pieces coming together.

Mahalo to BG Workforce and IBAS for having us and for everything they’re doing to help grow this new advanced manufacturing ecosystem in Hawaiʻi.
