I/UCRC for Water Equipment and Policy0968887 University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; Erik Christensen 0968844 Marquette University; Michael SwitzenbaumThe Center for Water Equipment and Policy (WEP) will focus on improving water quality and understanding related technologies. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) AND Marquette University (MU) are collaborating to establish the proposed center, with UWM as the lead institution. The proposed Center will focus on improving water equipment based on recent advances in materials, sensors, and control hardware/software. The Center will conduct policy studies including water demand and risk analysis. A goal is to improve the profitability of water equipment manufacturers and to improve the industry competitiveness and ability to adopt new technology for enhanced economic development. The five potential research thrust areas that form the basis of WEP include: Advanced Sensor and Control System Technology, Novel Materials, Autonomous Inspection and Repair, Environmental Systems Design, and Regulation, Legislation and Water Policy. The proposed Center will stimulate growth and economic development. The teams of researchers from both universities will work with the industrial advisory board to select high priority projects that should benefit society through improved water quality and availability, not only in the Great Lakes region but elsewhere in the US and world. Underrepresented students will be hired to work on these research projects that are of direct industrial relevance. The PIs plan to work with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and the National Society of Black Engineers student organizations to attract highly qualified minority students.

I/UCRC水设备和政策0968887威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校;埃里克克里斯滕森0968844马奎特大学;迈克尔斯威森鲍姆水设备和政策中心（WEP）将专注于改善水质和了解相关技术。 威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校（UWM）和马奎特大学（MU）正在合作建立拟议的中心，UWM作为牵头机构。拟建中心将专注于根据材料、传感器和控制硬件/软件的最新进展改进水设备。 该中心将进行政策研究，包括水需求和风险分析。 目标是提高水设备制造商的盈利能力，提高行业竞争力和采用新技术的能力，以促进经济发展。 形成WEP基础的五个潜在研究重点领域包括：先进传感器和控制系统技术，新型材料，自主检测和维修，环境系统设计以及法规，立法和水政策。拟建的中心将刺激增长和经济发展。来自两所大学的研究人员团队将与工业咨询委员会合作，选择高优先级项目，这些项目应通过改善水质和可用性来造福社会，不仅在五大湖地区，而且在美国和世界其他地方。 代表性不足的学生将被雇用从事这些与工业直接相关的研究项目。PI计划与女工程师协会（SWE）和全国黑人工程师协会学生组织合作，以吸引高素质的少数民族学生。
