Dear EECS and CSE students:
This is an announcement for EECS 159A / CSE 181A (Senior Design Projects I) in Spring 2017.
If you have reached senior standing (135 units), then you can take it, assuming you have the prerequisites (EECS 113 or CSE 145). You can get approved by taking them at the same time as EECS 159A / CSE 181A.
Jan. 4, 2017 - For the second time in six months, Professor Syed Jafar and his graduate student Hua Sun have received recognition from IEEE for their work on private information retrieval (PIR), a method of protecting the privacy of users from data providers. Last month, Jafar and Sun won the Communication Theory Symposium Best Paper Award at the IEEE GLOBECOM 2016 conference held in Washington, D.C.

Professor Mohammad Al Faruque has added yet another research award to his growing collection. This week he accepted the Ernest S. Kuh Early Career Award from the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) in a ceremony in Austin, Tex. The award honors one individual per year in the early stages of his/her career who has made innovative and substantial technical contributions to the area of electronic design automation.
Mohammad Al Faruque, electrical engineering and computer science assistant professor, was honored last week by the Research & Development Council of New Jersey with a Thomas Alva Edison Patent Award.
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to inform you that Lee Swindlehurst has been elected as Foreign Fellow of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering!

Dear Colleagues,
I’d like to inform you of some changes regarding the EECS servers:
Support staff:
Duncan Phillips has retired from UCI. The OIT professionals supporting our department are now Clint Anderson (cfanders@uci.edu) and Kyle Kurr (kkurr@uci.edu), both of whom report to Francisco Lopez.

Dear EECS faculty,
we have recently established an exchange "Erasmus Program" with the Polytechnic of Turin, Italy. and our EECS Department Please read below.
If you are interested in having an MS student doing a MS thesis with you, please send me a short description of the topic you propose.
I suggest you propose something doable in 5 months. The quality of such students is in general very good but should be checked (the gpa).
This could be also a way to try to retain excellent students for the PhD program.
Best regards
