Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, Inc. (the College) was founded in 1997 by F.W. Olin Foundation Inc. and graduated its first class in May 2006. The College is an independent nonsectarian college offering undergraduate programs leading toward degrees in engineering. There are approximately 350 students drawn from around the world. The campus is located in Needham, Massachusetts. Every admitted student receives an eight semester full or half tuition merit scholarship over four years. The College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and the College's three degree programs are accredited by ABET, the accrediting organization for engineering programs.
4b (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 277,362 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 317,312 )
Olin College's Collaboratory is an expanded effort to accelerate the transformation of engineering education: a nexus for the development and exchange of educational ideas and approaches to change the way engineering is taught across the world. Today's complex global challenges - from sustainability, to cyber security and eradication of disease - require the education of technical innovators who are able to navigate political, economic and cultural boundaries. The Collaboratory initiative has had a tremendous impact in a short period of time through a series of outreach efforts, including visits from colleges, universities, high schools, and policy and business leaders. Its Summer Institute has hosted educators seeking leadership, inspiration, and help in changing their own educational programs. During FY13, the Collaboratory hosted 63 programs (mainly visits and workshops) that involved representatives from 98 other institutions from around the US and the globe. Olin is playing a significant role in the movement to transform educational practice across the globe, including significant changes to curriculum at nine institutions.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
SchD_P05_S00_L04 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Most of the College's endowment is made up of the Olin Endowment, which is required to be held in perpetuity, subject to the exceptions explained below, in order to fund merit scholarships for all students. The Grant Agreement that created the Olin Endowment provides for its use in certain circumstances, such as for the payment of certain debt service should unrestricted net assets be insufficient for that purpose, and for certain capital outlays.
SchD_P10_S00_L02 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The College accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. The College has identified its tax status as a tax exempt entity as its only significant tax position; however, the College has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The College is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdictions. The College's Federal and State tax returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date filed.

F990_P03_S00_L02 Form 990, Part III, Line 2 Olin College's mission states that the College is dedicated to the discovery and development of the most effective educational approaches and aspires to serve as a model for others. In fact, the founding precepts of the College state that the (F.W. Olin) Foundation, Inc. does "...not seek to establish a generic undergraduate engineering college - one that will simply offer programs similar to many others around the country. Olin College is intended to be different - not for the mere sake of being different - but to be an important and constant contributor to the advancement of engineering education in America and throughout the world, and through its graduates, to do good for humankind." In furtherance of these principles, Olin views itself as a learning lab for innovation in engineering education, and its latest initiative, "the Collaboratory", is dedicated to co-designing transformational education experiences with other institutions. As such, Olin hosts visits, runs programs and faculty/student exchanges, and engages in partnerships with numerous other colleges and universities. For example, during the year ended June 30, 2013, the College entered into an agreement with Insper, a not-for-profit school of business, economics and engineering in Brazil, to collaborate in creating a new and innovative engineering school in Brazil. Under the agreement, Olin College will provide workshops, consulting and assistance in several academic and operational areas, including program development, faculty hiring and admissions. Olin will help Insper create a new curriculum based on pedagogical approaches developed at Olin, which emphasize hands-on learning and entrepreneurial thinking as a way of producing graduates characterized by their creativity and ability to devise innovative solutions to problems. Olin has also developed partnerships with other universities, including helping to redesign the first-year learning experience at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a faculty exchange program with The University of Texas at El Paso. In so doing, Olin College furthers its dual missions of offering an innovative engineering program to talented undergraduate students, and playing a leading role in the transformation of engineering education in the U.S. and abroad. Olin's unique mission of revolutionizing engineering education is dependent on the intertwining efforts of the college, which graduates some of the country's most sought after engineering innovators and continually improves pedagogical practices, and its Collaboratory, which helps to spread those practices to the rest of the educational world.

F990_P06_S0B_L12c Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c All Officers, Trustees and Key Employees are required to disclose annually any direct or indirect financial or other material interest which he or she or a family member has or reasonably expects to have in any proposed or existing contract, transaction, or arrangement with the College prior to the start of any negotiations with respect to such matter. Trustee disclosures are reviewed by the Chairperson and Clerk of the Board. Final review of potential Trustee conflicts is made by the full Board, the Executive Committee, or other Board committee having decision-making authority over the substantive matter in question. Any restrictions imposed on persons with a conflict would depend on the nature of the conflict.
F990_P06_S0B_L15 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 On an annual basis, most recently in July 2013, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees reviews the President's salary. As part of their review, they consider comparable market data for the President's position, based on other engineering and liberal arts schools as reported in a salary survey published by CUPA (College and University Personnel Association). They also use data from CUPA on Boston-area private colleges and universities, and at least three other sources of data. On an annual basis, most recently in July 2013, the Key Employees and Officers are reviewed and compared with market data. Human Resources obtains market data from a list of 13 comparable higher education institutions on an annual basis and compares the current salaries to the market data. We will make salary adjustments if necessary to bring employees to at least 80-85% of comparable market data. In addition, salaries of the Key Employees are compared to the CUPA salary survey as described above. This comparison to the CUPA data is reviewed by the Chairman of the Board to determine whether any market adjustments are necessary. Key Employees and Officers are eligible to receive merit increases most years, based on performance, with the same criteria as other employees. The decisions regarding market adjustments are approved by independent persons and all deliberations and decisions are substantiated contemporaneously.
