She said federal government investment as a percentage of gross domestic product has declined over the past 25 years.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_92682\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-92682\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-92682\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2021\/05\/kamalamone300x200-20210504_IMC_EH_011.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-92682\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">UWM Chancellor Mark Mone greets Vice President Kamala Harris (clockwise from right), Sen.

But now the area needs smart investments in energy and manufacturing to create the innovations necessary to solve current-day problems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a passion for action, some would say a passion for traction, if you look at the all-electric Mustang on display here,\u201d UWM Chancellor Mark Mone told Harris. \u201cIt\u2019s an example of the kind of transformative research we do at UWM.\u201d And part of that story involved making electric vehicles more commercially viable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_x_MsoNormal\">UWM was chosen as a stop on Harris\u2019 promotion tour in part because of its longstanding work with businesses to improve their energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprints. The\u00a0U.S. Department of Energy<span class=\"x_x_Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0has supported\u00a0<\/span>an Industrial Assessment Center at UWM for more than 20 years. Through the IAC, teams of faculty and UWM students identify reduction strategies for energy and water consumption for area medium-sized manufacturers, while providing training the future energy engineers.<span class=\"x_x_Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_x_MsoNormal\">The Department of Energy currently funds the IAC program at 31 universities. The center at UWM, directed by Ryoichi Amano, professor of mechanical engineering, is the only one in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<h3>Moving science forward<\/h3>\n<p>Wilkistar Otieno, associate professor of industrial manufacturing and assistant director of UWM\u2019s Industrial Assessment Center, participated in the roundtable discussion, which was moderated by Joan Prince, a UWM vice chancellor emerita. Otieno described the research and development gains that additional investment would bring, including next-generation lithium-ion battery systems for electric cars, new strategies for more efficient manufacturing and electricity generated from wastewater treatment plants.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-media-post alignright\" id=\"video_post-28966\"><div class=\"image icon-overlay\"><a class=\"image video-link\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vq2wGGVgkCk?autoplay=1&enablejsapi=1&origin=https:\/\/uwm.edu\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2016\/02\/JFK-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2016\/02\/JFK-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2016\/02\/JFK.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><div class=\"icon-large icon-video\"><span class=\"text\">Play Video<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"title\">Presidents and contenders who visited UWM<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe research dollars that we attract enables us to move science forward and to look at what comes next,\u201d Otieno said.<\/p>\n<p>Also on the panel were U.S. Rep.
