This page contains news related to the ECE department for the current week. Specifically, it includes information about seminars, exams, travel, research grants, professional news, and personal news.
This newsletter is also emailed by Friday afternoon of the previous week to all faculty, staff, and students in ECE.
If you are not receiving this email, please contact <nancy@ece.northwestern.edu> and we will get you on that email list.
As I had mentioned earlier, the ECE Department is undergoing its Program Review this year. All departments in the university are reviewed every seven years. This week the three internal Northwestern reviewers will meet with all ECE faculty members individually as well as with groups of undergraduate and graduate students. This will take place on Wednesday, April 25 and Friday, April 27.
I would also like to direct your attention to the announcement in this newsletter of the first seminar in the Motorola Distinguished Lecture Series. Jose B. Cruz from Ohio State University will present a lecture entitled, "Game Theory for Engineering Systems."
