This year, the ECE faculty and graduatestudents pub- lished 86 archived journal articles, co-authored 10 book chap- ters and 3 books, and made 95 conference contributions (pa- pers, abstracts, and presentations).They also authored 15 pat- ents or patent disclosures. Workshops, Conferences,and Special Meetings

ECE Day 2000 The tradition of a project conference day for ECE Seniors, which was initiated in May 1997,continued this year Held at the end of the Spring term, ECE Day 2000 included 23 pre- sentations on different projects conductedby groups of 2 to 4 students. The conference was attended by departmental fac- ulty and alumni. More information on ECE Day 2000 can be found in Section3.

Teaclll1lgWorbllop Teachingworkshops, offered formally as part of a new 2-credit course, SC8S0,are required for all ECE graduatestudents who are serving as teaching fellows for the first time. Besides be- ing a valuable educational experience for these graduate stu- dents, this workshop also ensuresthat our undepduates are servedby better trained teaching fellows in their ECE courses. The workshop included panel and solo discussions,as well as play-acting scenarioson such topics as teaching medtodology; presentation techniques; pedagogy; and an outline of teaching policies, procedures, and ethics. More details on Teaching workshops are provided in Section 4.

ECE Advising Day The ECE advising day is a major initiative launched last year to enhance the advising system for ECE und~du- ates. Held in the fall and spring semesters on the Friday before telephone registration begins for the next term. In the Spring, the day included pre-registration advising throughout by faculty volunteers and a two hour ..Advising Workshop" on upcoming changes in the EE and CSE cup. ricula.

ECERdretIt The ECE Department held its annual Faculty Retreat at BU\ Photonics Center. on April 28. 2000. This year. the discus- sions focused on the ideal ECE Curriculum - Degreeswithout Walls. A number of specific proposals were discussedinclud- ing redesigning the program to include five new electives. The discussion also included a debateon what material should be taught in the introductory engineering and computer program- ming courses to best prepare students for the material they will encounter in more advancedcourse work.

Rationale: The new 8-credit senior design project (SC463andSC464) is motivatedby die desireto enablemore ambitious studentprojects, to give ample time for project completion,and to institute an "apprenticeship"mechanism in which studentsmay learn from the experienceof others who are further along in the design process. The former Electromagneticssequence (SC453, SC454)was replaced by a redesignedelectromagnetics sequence (SC455, SC456). The course SC455, "ElectromagneticSystems I," will be required of all EE majors. It is designedto give an applica- tion-oriented introduction to both electrostaticsand elec- trodynamics, although with greateremphasis on the

ECE TeachingAward:

ProfessorClem Karl is the winner of the 1999/2000ECE Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching, for the intro- duction of innovative and highly acclaimed improvements in the graduatecourse on stochastic processes.His contri- butions include extensive revisions of course notes, intro- duction of a seriesof application-oriented MMLAB labo- ratories, and the use of web-based components in the course. Studentsadmire his enthusiasm,excellent prepa- ration, and his ability to provide a "big picture" view of highly mathematical material. It is not unusual for his former studentsto count him among the best teachersthey ~ have had at Boston University.

Studentsmake presentationsto their custome~write inter- and intra-office memos,design their project to meet customerspecifications, managethe project budget, and deliver the working product, complete with a detailed instruction manual. The ECE Departmenthas made a major investmentin spaceand equipmentto provide every team with 24-hour accessto its own dedicated,fully-equipped laboratory bench.Although the coursehas been offered for nearly a decade, much has changed since its early days. Student design teams now work for the department'sofficial company - Xebec Technologies. Studentsgain valuable practical skills and training in project management,product development,and engineering design by working on projects for real-life clients. 2000 P.T. BsuAward The best senior designproject in the ECE Departmentis chosenby a faculty committee,based on the projects, written materials, and the team presentations. This years winners were The Highway Hunters, working on the IR Highway Transponder project. Team members included Izzat Abou-Amarah, Igor Golger, Imad Kassis, and Masood Mahmood. The IR Highway Transponder project was developed for a highway safety application in which an emergencyvehicle would like to identify a vehicle's licenseplate (and possibly other infonnation) from a distanceof up to 100m. The Highway Hunters developed a transmitter unit based on IR LEDs that encoded and broadcast continuously the car data. They also designedand built a hand-heldreceiver that detectedand decodedthe data.The receiver featured Fresnel lens optics and automatic gain control. The system was tested extensively indoors before meeting its 100m specification along the length of Cummington Street. SPECTREBlasts om The SPECTREsounding rocket. supportedby a NASA studentlaunch project with Prof. S. Chakrabarti (Astronomy), blasted from the rail at Wallops Island, VA, on June 13,2000. The payload, which contained hardware designedby over 50 senior design students since 1997, successfully collected its multispectral data, and was recovered by the NASA searchplane and ship, 42 miles offshore. The payload,powered by a Nike-Orion rocket. reacheda height of 81 miles and had a flight of about sevenminutes before its parachuteopened. SPEClRE studentsmanned the ground station and were monitoring the downlink telemetry throughout the flight. We plan to display the hardware around ECE in the faI12000.

Undergraduate Teaching Fellows ECE instituted a trial UTF program this year It's goal is to provide top undetgraduatestudents an opportunity to join the academic program at a higher level, as an instructor as opposed to a student, and to interest these students to continue to the graduate level. UTF duties are similar to those of a GTF: lab or discussion-section instruction. We had 1 UTF each semester,to cover an Electronics lab in the Fall and Electromagnetics Discussion sections in the Spring.

At the graduatelevel, the emphasishas shifted from professionalMS-oriented studentsto Ph.D. students: . MS degreeenrollments dropped sharply, mainly with the demise of the Corporate Classroomprogram. Few part-time or self-funded MS studentsremain. . Ph.D. enrollment hasrisen substantially,along with the number of applications, but domesticcandidates remain difficult to recruit. .

6.5 Targeted Growth The ECE faculty have held extensivediscussions at various meetingsand annual retreats in recent years to determine strategic areasfor taIgetedgrowth. Plans for faculty growth have been motivated by the need to strengthen existing researchareas to make them more competitive at a national level, develop expertise in areasofECE where important new technologiesare expectedto grow, and respondto shifting and growing student enrollments at both undergraduateand graduatelevels. As described in Section 5, the department has three main divisions: electrophysics(which includes photonics, solid state materials and devices, and electromagnetics),signals (which includes speechand image processing,and control and communication systems), and computerengineering (which includes reliable computing,high performancecomputing, net- works, VLSI, and multimedia). These areas overlap and are mutually supportive, and our growth must exploit synergies betweenthese areas,as well as links with other departmentsand centers.

The following areashave been selectedfor growth:

Computer SystemsEugineering Our most urgent need for growth is in computer systems engineering. This is immediately dictated by increasing undergraduateenrollment, reflecting the robust market for our graduates. Enrollment in CSE has surpassedthat in EE, yet the number of faculty capableof teaching computer engineeringcourses, particularly in software engineering is alarmingly inadequate. Significant teaching is done by non-researchactive faculty and CSE research is weak.
