2005 George Washington Carver Project Research Presentations
-- Posted by tfisher on Thursday, June 30 2005

The Office of Graduate Recruitment invites the university community to observe the 2005 George Washington Carver Project research presentations at 3 p.m. June 30 in the Reynolds Auditorium, located within the Sam M. Walton College of Business. A reception will be held immediately following the presentations.

The George Washington Carver Project is a recruitment initiative designed to increase the diversity of the graduate and professional student body at the University of Arkansas. Through partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic Serving Institutions, the Office of Graduate Recruitment seeks to identify and recruit interested graduates of these institutions to the University of Arkansas Graduate School.
For six weeks, students from ten of the fourteen participating institutions have worked with UA faculty members in one the following disciplines: agricultural economics and agribusiness, animal science, business, cell and molecular biology, drama, education, biological & agricultural engineering, chemical engineering and electrical engineering.

Electrical Engineering Students Take Two National Awards
-- Posted by tfisher on Monday, June 27 2005

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers recently honored two student chapters at the University of Arkansas with national awards.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a professional association of more than 360,000 members and more than 300 student branch chapters nationwide. The institute and its membership are recognized as leading authorities in technical areas including biomedical technology, computer engineering, telecommunications, aerospace and consumer electronics.

The university's IEEE Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology student branch chapter was named the 2005 Student Chapter of the Year, and the University of Arkansas IEEE general student chapter received the "Outstanding Small Student Branch of 2004" award based on skill and knowledge displayed by the students in two tournaments.

University Launches New Center to Test Communications Devices for Space Flight
-- Posted by tfisher on Monday, June 27 2005

The University of Arkansas is creating a center to test the durability of high-tech, high-speed fiber-optic communication devices made for the extreme environments faced by military and space flight equipment, thanks to an award from a local company that makes the devices.
Space Photonics Inc. will award about $225,000 over two years to two researchers, Pat Parkerson in computer engineering and Rick Ulrich in chemical engineering, to assist in the establishment of the Arkansas Space and Photonics (ASaP) Optoelectronics Qualifications Center. The center will perform environmental, electrical and mechanical tests on high-speed fiber-optic communication devices created by Space Photonics Inc. for use in satellites, military aircraft and spacecraft.

"This facility will help us learn what we need to do to begin qualifying our current prototypes for various extreme environments," said Matt Leftwich, senior development specialist and lead engineer for SPI. The equipment used in military and space flight environments faces stresses rarely found elsewhere, including hot and cold temperature extremes and variations, in addition to large fluctuations in humidity and vibration. Therefore, new equipment must pass a stringent series of testing before it is qualified, or declared "flight ready."
