Campus is pretty empty on this dreary Monday morning, but we are excited to welcome you back to campus in one week! There are ECE-specific virtual orientations this Wednesday and a New Student Welcome on Thursday. Let us know if you did not receive the notices.

Congrats once again to this year’s ECE grads! We cleaned up the live graduation video and put the “directors cut“ up on our YouTube channel: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC9d41awm8HYHjQcaKlEXfKQ

Congrats to the ECE class of 2021! You can find information about our virtual ECE graduation ceremony this Friday at 2pm PST here: https://www.pdx.edu/electrical-computer-engineering/ece-graduation

All are invited to attend the 2021 ECE Capstone Presentations!

Due to COVID, this is the second year that capstone will be an online event rather than our usual in-person poster competition. Instead of posters, each team will do a brief 10 minute presentation of their project followed by 5 minutes of Q&A. There will be 5 minutes between each presentation for students to "set up" and for judges to complete their notes, etc.

Due to the number of teams, presentations will take place over two days. As in past years, the event is open to the public. Faculty, past and present capstone sponsors, lower-division undergraduates, and high school STEM students are particularly encouraged to attend.

The schedule and Zoom links are as follows (please note there is a different link for each date):

Thursday, June 3, 2021, 8:20-11:55 PST (Zoom link: https://pdx.zoom.us/j/81979882960)

Friday, June 4, 2021, 13:00-16:30 PST (Zoom link: https://pdx.zoom.us/j/82468121496)

Dr. Siderius and ECE graduate students Alex Higgins and Drew Wendeborn recently did research in the Atlantic Ocean about 100 miles southeast of Rhode Island. These are all on the R/V Endeavor ship operated out of the University of Rhode Island. More explanations in the photo captions.

We are once again offering a scholarship for incoming female freshman students. ECE alum Lauren Krueger helped us to secure some of the funding for this scholarship and you can find out more about what she has done to help increase diversity in STEM here: bit.ly/2SHtxUj. The deadline for the scholarship is May 16th and if you are an incoming freshman and missed the email please contact us.

Lauren's Story: Engineering a Future for Women in STEM Lauren Krueger faced the challenges and earned a degree in Electrical Engineering. Now, she's helping other under underrepresented people in STEM.

Students that have graduated or are planning to graduate this academic year are welcomed to join us for this year’s live-streamed ECE Celebration of Graduates virtual event. Look for an email from the department with more information on how to RSVP and participate.

The Electronics Prototyping Lab has safeguards in place that allow students to once again walk in with an idea and walk out with a working prototype! More info: https://www.pdx.edu/electrical-computer-engineering/ece-labs-and-facilities
