Spring Action ItemsProvide greater flexibility with distance education courses. For example, develop new certificate programs or short courses in specialty areas.

Status: Carl Melle is working with constituents to determine what model makes the most sense. Professor Sudeep Pasricha is developing a certificate program in embedded systems.

Help students prepare to compete in a global economy by encouraging more interaction with international student population.

Status: The presentations available through our PLI series educate our students on a wide range of topics that help prepare them for our global economy. Opportunities like the exchange agreement with the University of Luxembourg allows students to connect with people from all over the world.



Spring Action ItemsEducate students on cyclical nature of the economy to provide encouragement during down times.

Status: Don Morris, who delivered the presentation at our last board meeting, spoke to the senior design class in September. Events like Design Your Future Day give students a chance to meet with professionals and learn first-hand about the economic climate.

To help prepare students for a global economy, encourage study abroad at an international university.

Status: Exchange agreement established with the University of Luxembourg.



Spring Action ItemsMake it easier for companies to donate equipment to the department.

Status: We are continually sharing our equipment needs with industry and have recently secured equipment gifts from our corporate partners. The process is fairly easy. If anyone is interested in donating, please contact Andrea Leland.

Increase opportunities for social networking with CSU and IEEE. Status: The ECE department works closely with Alvin Loke (IEEE-SSCS) and Pete O’Neill (IEEE-Centennial) to make sure students and faculty are aware of IEEE social activities, seminars, and other events. An ECE alumnae is serving as the CSU IEEE student liaison; Andrea serves as industrial liaison for the Centennial Subsection.



Spring Action ItemsSee if industry partners are interested in giving lectures and/or teaching short courses on specific topics. The ECE department could identify potential areas of interest and solicit companies for interested presenters.

Status: Don Van Zyl with AE taught a course last spring. ECE has gained approval for a group studies course. One mechanism would be to have a group of IAB members collaboratively offer a 3-4-week lecture course on topics of interest. A faculty member would be assigned as the official instructor for the course.

Create an online social networking group, e.g., LinkedIn, to serve as an additional communication mechanism and place for networking.

Status: A LinkedIn group for the board has been created. We will use this as an additional mechanism for communicating with the board.



Spring Action ItemsGet information from Fernando Tomasel on the Trade Adjustment Assistance program to see if ECE can provide support that readily fits with the training that people recently laid off may need.

Status: We received the information from Fernando. The needs of the laid off workers did not fit with the kind of support the ECE department can offer.

Encourage professors to strengthen relationships with industry to solicit additional research activity during a down economy.

Faculty are engaged in new relationships with National Semiconductor and LSI.



Spring Action Items

Design Your Future Day held on October 7. 24 industry representatives from 17 companies attended.

Carl Melle with Distance Education has been working with IAB members to promote our Systems Engineering program.



Additional activities that resulted from IAB discussions:

ECE to Celebrate a Century of InnovationVisit our centennial web site: www.engr.colostate.edu/ece/centennial/

Event scheduled for May 1, 2010

We encourage the board’s input and ideas regarding the event. Tentative plans:

Feature alumni who led the successful 2008 Mars Mission (six ECE alumni worked on the project) Produce a brief video that provides highlights throughout the last 100 years Honor emeritus faculty Give a future innovator award (for a current ECE student)Feature past and present projectsName the May 2010 graduating class the “Centennial Class”
