Fall Action Items

Status: Thanks to the IEEE Denver section and the local IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society ECE is hosting its first-ever Best Paper Contest this spring

a panel of 10 IAB members will judge the student papersthe winner will be announced at the spring graduation reception on May 12 the winning team will receive a plaque and $500 cash award

Action item: Follow-up on the idea of adding a “Best Paper Award” to the senior design curriculum

Status: Department offers distinguished lecture series through ISTeC; faculty available for industry site visits/research seminars (e.g., Robust Center); hiring more faculty, giving us the ability to offer more opportunities in the future

Action item: Consider ways to provide a broader range of continuing education opportunities for industry.

Fall Action Items

Action item from previous meetings

Status: Examples of industry involvement in ECE education:2 board members currently serving as adjunct faculty10 board members spoke to the senior design class in Fa05/Sp06 15 board members participated in Fall Student Advising Day 2 board members spoke at Fall Graduate Study in ECE Event

Action item: Continue encouraging industry involvement in ECE education such as giving talks to senior design class, serving as adjunct faculty, participating in student activities, collaborating on special events, etc.
