1. Image Category. SEM, TEM, AFM, or any of the optically related images.

2. Publication category. Submissions can include any published paper. Only one submission per first author.

3. Poster Presentations Category. Any poster presentation based partially on work done at CeNSE was eligible. The winner was chosen based on both aesthetic and scientific appeal.

All submissions should be sent/brought to me at Brian.Wajdyk@uky.edu or room 45 of ASTeCC building. Deadline for submissions is October 21st and winners announced November 4th.

All winners will be chosen by a small anonymous committee headed by Brian Wajdyk with the mandate of impartiality. What can you win? Bragging rights and something to add to your resume. Certificates will be given to all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each category. Results will be posted on the CeNSE website and posted on the boards on the 3rd floor of ASTeCC. Imagine. You can win and not even do anymore research! Just submit your previously prepared work.

(Sept. 14, 2011) — The Power and Energy Institute of Kentucky (PEIK) at the University of Kentucky has received $1.5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy to train undergraduate and graduate level engineering students in manufacturing efficiency to help them become the nation’s next generation of industrial energy efficiency experts. UK is one of 24 universities in 23 states to receive a portion of the $30 million that was issued. UK will receive the grant over the course of five years.

Nashville, Tennessee

March 2011

UK’s IEEE student branch recently participated in the annual IEEE Region 3 conference, SoutheastCon.

Seventeen students from Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science, from freshman to

student level, participated in the Software, Ethics, Student Paper, Website, and T-shirt competitions.

The hardware competition challenged teams to build an autonomous robot which could seek victims of a

natural disaster and report their location and life status. A total of 35 teams participated in the competition.

The UK IEEE Student Branch team made it into the semifinals, finishing in fourth place.

The Ethics team was assigned an ethically questionable scenario where they were to present and defend thei

stance while applying the IEEE Code of Ethics. The team, consisting of Bonnie Cheng (EE), Cassandra Cox (EE),

and Matthew Jackson (EE), earned second place out of 12 teams.

The T-Shirt competition required schools to design a unique, team shirt for the conference. The T-Shirt, designed

by Bonnie Cheng (EE), won first place.

Congratulation!
