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.
For this week we have just two items of interest:
The first is the announcement that our Student Resume Booklet was completed and mailed last week to key ECE department chairs and key persons from industry, including our Advisory Board members. If anyone else wishes to receive a copy of the booklet (containing resumes of our seniors and graduating graduate students), please let us know.
The second note is that it is time to conduct the mid-quarter evaluation of our classes. All faculty members received the form in their mailboxes last week, and we hope that the evaluation will provide feedback to help improve the quality of instruction in ECE.

Professor Jorge Nocedal traveled to Palo Alto, November 10-13, for a visit to Weidlinger Associates to continue research collaboration with Dr. Victor Pereyra.
Professor Manijeh Razeghi gave an invited talk entitled, "Low Resistivity AlxGa1-xN/GaN Superlattices for UV Emitters: Development of AlGaN Based UV LED and Lasers ( ~ 280 nm),", III-Nitride UV Emitter Coordination Meeting, DARPA Workshop, University of Texas at Austin, November 7, 2001.
I'd like to remind the students that this is your lab and that we all need to work together to keep it clean and tidy. Please don't leave trash on the desks; there is a recycle bin next to the laser printer.
Also, I'll remind you that the rules of the lab (posted on the walls and on the corkboard in the hall) state that no food or drinks are allowed in the lab. This is to protect the computers and furniture from accidents and spills. This rule will be strictly enforced. Anyone who is found with food or drink will have his lab priviledges suspended for a week.
As the lab budget permits, the older chairs, some of which are in poor condition, will gradually be replaced.
