The Engineering Governing Council announces Excellence in
Teaching Award. The 2008-2009 Excellence in Teaching Award for Electrical
and Computer Engineering has been awarded to Professor Christopher Rose of the Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dr. Rose has now won the Excellence in Teaching Award for the second time in three years!
This award is given each year to one faculty member in each department, based on a vote of undergraduate
students, who has done an outstanding and exceptional job of teaching and is dedicated to educational excellence.
The award was formally presented on Sunday May 3rd at the Engineering Governing Council (EGC) Leadership Conference.
Congratulations to Professor Rose on winning the 2008-2009 Excellence in Teaching Award !
Cosmic Communications It's almost a 'given' that remote civilizations will try to contact us using radio waves. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence was first tried by Giuseppe Coccone and Philip Morrison 50 years ago. Since then 2 million years of CPU timehas been donated to the SETI@home project. Professor Chris Rose and Gregory Wright propose a new take on extraterrestrial contact. The message-in-a-bottle idea of sending physical objects across space is highly energy efficient and we should be searching for artifacts in the solar system now.
Professor Eduardo Sontag, a member of our graduate faculty, and a professor of mathematics at Rutgers, has become a SIAM (Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics) Fellow. Dr. Sontag has been elected a Fellow of SIAM for his contributions to control theory and mathematical biology.
