The mission of the Engineering Research Program is to develop the tools and technology needed to support current and future Laboratory programs. To accomplish this mission Engineering Research has two important goals - to identify key technology areas important to the Laboratory and to conduct high quality research and development in support of Engineering's and the Laboratory's mission. To help focus our efforts in achieving our goals we identify key technologies called thrust areas and select technical leaders in these technologies to lead each area. The thrust areas are an integrated Engineering activity and, rather than being primarily discipline based, are staffed by the research engineers from EE and ME and from other Laboratory organizations as appropriate. The thrust area leaders are accountable to me for the quality and progress of their research activities but have significant latitude to manage the resources allocated to their thrust area. They are expected to establish strong links to the Laboratory program leaders, to use outside as well as inside experts to review the quality and direction of the research, to use university contacts to supplement and complement their efforts, and to be certain that we are not duplicating the work of others. The thrust area leader is also responsible for carrying out the development work that follows from the Research program so that the results of the research can be applied as early as possible to the needs of the programs. This booklet contains capsule descriptions of the activities of each thrust area and illustrates how thrust area activities and technologies support Laboratory programs.
