ASEE ERC Conference 2017: Cost Sharing and Seed Funding. R. Moses, Ohio State UniversityCost Sharing – General Observations and Trends• How cost sharing is ‘shared’ across the institution depends heavily on how Indirect Costs are distributed internally • Office of Research, College, Departments• Cost sharing has in general tightened up over the last decade • ‘Formulaic’ cost share is a thing of the past • Many universities don’t provide non-mandatory cost share except in rare cases • A much stronger focus on the needs of the grant, rather than ‘more is better’ • Cash cost share as a last resort• A few trusted colleagues in ADR roles can be very helpful in fact-checking • “U. of XXX does this and my

technologically-rich genres. Creatingsignal distortion, increasing music’s volume, and developing equipment to extensively tour theworld all require innovation of technology. Heavy metal’s history has facilitated multipleengineering developments in its quest for extremity as well as containing a wealth ofcommentary about global, social, religious, and political cultures. The original presentation in2013 addressed the implementation of a course to help students explore these engineeringdevelopments and social commentary, with an ultimate goal to promote understanding of theinterplay between the technologies and cultural phenomena. The current paper will expand onthat premise with more recent developments in the engineering/music crossover, as well
