•Founded in 1946 by Phil Myers and Otto Uyehara.ERC has produced more than 500 graduates
•>65-year existence of ERC is evidence of indispensablerole of the Internal Combustion engine in our society.
• Why the need for engine research at a university?IC Engines have been around for over a century - surely everything is known?– significant advancements continue to be made every year.- today’s engines are 99% cleaner and more fuel efficient than 25 yrs. ago
Phil Myers: “The engine is the ideal teaching tool – it features all of the elementsof engineering: materials, fluids, thermodynamics, lubrication, chemistry,electronics, etc. The only thing missing is nuclear reaction.”
•Phil and Otto were pioneers in engine research:– first to measure gas temperature in an operating engine- this led to new understandings of the combustion process and
consequent improvements in the efficiency of engines.
The process of learning and application of new knowledge continues today!

ERC OverviewERC Overview
• Transportation power systems:– Will continue to be a dominant social and economic force for
decades to come– Energy conversion efficiency and its environmental impact are
critical issues to the US and the world• Engine research at a university:
– Conduct research that addresses longer term issues– Provide highly trained engineers who have worked on relevant
problems
• ERC is a major research and educational institution for the investigationof fundamental and applied technologies relevant to IC engines
