Campaign for New Engineering Building Kicks Off April 5
04/04/2006
Four of ECE's students and student teams will display their projects at a
School of Engineering reception on Wednesday.
The event, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. in the Mechanical Engineering atrium, will kick
off the school's Centennial Engineering Center fundraising campaign. SOE has
invited guests from across the state, including interested legislators and
engineering-related businesses. Student displays from all five of the school's
departments will showcase the scope of work being done at the school.
Guests will also meet two distinguished engineers: former Columbia Space Shuttle
astronaut Sid Guttierrez, who is currently manager of Physical Sciences at
Sandia Labs, and Dr. Charles Jennett, civil engineering chairman at Syracuse
University and former Texas A&M president.
ECE students displaying projects include Ryan Martin with his senior project on
nanogap experiments at CHTM; Frank Hemingway with the CHTM honors project he
presented at a conference in Boston last spring; Lynette Bates, Felix Sauceda,
Matthew Altman and Nathan Herrera with their senior project, a Taekwondo
training and measurement device; and Joshua Simplicio and Mike Majedi with their
robotic systems and control project.
The Centennial Engineering Center, scheduled for construction beginning this
year, will bolster the learning and research resources available to UNM
students. Alternative energy sources, disease diagnosis and treatment, and space
-based exploration are examples of the frontiers UNM students are exploring
using School of Engineering facilities.
