ME Faculty Expertise Highlighted at TMS Conference
Minerals, Metals & Materials Society
TMS 2011 Conference logoSDSU was well-represented at the 140th annual meeting
and exhibition of the Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) at the San Diego
Convention Center, February 27-March 3, 2011. The conference, one of the top
materials science conferences in the world, provided the opportunity for materials
science and engineering professionals from over 68 countries to network, present
research, share industrial applications and introduce innovation.
Leading SDSU's participation in the conference for SDSU here Drs. Rand German, Khaled
Morsi and Eugene Olevsky, along with several graduate students engaged in SDSU research.

College Welcomes Patricia Reily
Veterans' Internship Coordinator
E-209 has been transformed to a welcoming office with magazines, cookies and a welcome
sign on the door. Dr. Patricia Reily, the room's new occupant, is the College of
Engineering's new Veterans' Internship Coordinator, a position funded through the
National Science Foundation (NSF) SERVICE grant.
The SERVICE Program's goal is to place engineering veteran students into internships
with industry partners. Dr. Reily's focus will be to develop solid relationships
with companies who can benefit from the employment of veterans. She will then connect
with engineering students who are military veterans to place them in internships
that are right for them. "It's a win-win," Dr. Reily said of the benefits to both
students and industry. "I feel like a Hollywood talent agent!"

SDSU's Baja SAE Team
Completing a senior design project in Mechanical Engineering is not easy. This
year, a group of five ME seniors has chosen to take on a particularly difficult
task-to design and build a single-seat off-road vehicle to compete in the 2010-2011
Baja SAE Competition.
To fare well in the competition, the vehicle must be built to survive the severe
punishment of rough terrain-that includes mud, large rocks and water.

NBC News Interviews Drs. fred harris and Madhu Gupta
Have you ever wondered why airline passengers are required to turn off cell phones
during flight? Electrical and Computer Engineering's Dr. fred harris and Dr. Madhu
Gupta appeared on the NBC nightly news Monday, Feb. 21, 2011 to discuss just that.
According to them, expert consensus is that everyone on a flight could leave their
cell phone on with no adverse effects. Below 10,000 ft, the airline requirement
that phones be turned off is a courtesy to cell-phone service providers on the
ground who don't want to deal with the rapid handoff of phones between cell boundaries.
Above 10,000 feet is a precautionary measure only.

Engineers Without Borders - Project Honduras
In 2007, the SDSU Chapter for the nationwide humanitarian organization Engineers
Without Borders was established on campus with a mission to support community-driven
development projects worldwide. Since its establishment, the SDSU student chapter
has been doing just that.
Having started by contributing to water treatment projects in Tijuana, EWB-SDSU
worked last semester to create and spin-off a sister organization called HandS (Humanitarians
and Sustainability) which continues to lead a clean water project in the Dominican
Republic.

HandS - Project Dominican Republic
Humanitarians and Sustainability, or HandS, is a nonprofit SDSU student organization
partnering with Engineers Without Borders, the SDSU Sports MBA program and the Padre
Foundation to implement community development projects in the Dominican Republic.
While many major league baseball franchises operate talent development facilities
in the Dominican Republic, large disparities exist between their facilities and
the surrounding communities.

Peggy Johnson
It was while Peggy Johnson was delivering mail on campus and talking to administrative
staff in Electrical Engineering that she decided to change her major to engineering,
veering off the path to a degree in business. Considering how successful she
is today, earning a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from SDSU may
have been one of the best decisions she's ever made.

Dr. Yusuf Ozturk Recognized in Turkish Press
Electronic monitoring of offenders may not be the first thing most people associate
with electronic and computer engineering, but it was a hot topic of discussion in
Turkish newspapers and television reports this past winter break, thanks to the
College's Dr. Yusuf Ozturk.
Dr. Ozturk was invited by the Turkish Ministry of Justice to travel to Turkey in
January and deliver a presentation to Turkish judges and prosecutors on the electronic
monitoring of offenders in the United States. The group was particularly interested
in the potential use of this technology to keep the population in Turkish prisons
under control.

Dr. fred harris Lectures
Dr. fred harris gave several lectures recently that highlight his research and the
expertise of College of Engineering.
Invited to speak as part of the UCSD graduate studies Invited Speaker Program on
Feb. 4th, he discussed synchronization techniques for digital receivers and new
ways of solving old problems related to communication systems. "Originally, if
you wanted to receive 400 channels, you needed 400 receivers. Now it all fits into
one," said Dr. harris. He recently worked on a project that compacted an entire
room of radio receivers into one 4" x 9" x 12" box.
