We'd like to ask for your help in two ways: Referrals Our goal is always to hire students who know your courses best. We encourage you to recommend any students who have performed excellently in your course or department. All you need to do is send us the students' name and any contact information you might be able to share, and we will get in touch with them. Of course, if you wish to encourage a particular student to contact us or complete an application, that would also be helpful. Applications are available on our website at: http://www.uri.edu/aec/pdf/tutorapplication2009.pdf Open House Please tell all of your students that on Tuesday April 21 and Wednesday April 22, at 4 pm, we will hold our annual spring open house in the Great Room of Roosevelt Hall. At the open house, students will be able to learn about the work we do, credit or pay options, job requirements, and other vital information. They will also be able to complete applications and register for interviews. Refreshments will be served. If you have any questions or thoughts on our process, feel free to get in touch with David Hayes (4-2953), Kathryn Crisostomo (4-4690), or Nicole Poloski (4-4529).

It is the Supervisor?s responsibility to administer all contracts, outfit the ships, assure that the technical adequacy and quality assurance requirements are fully met, ascertain that satisfactory production schedules are maintained, and ensure that the final product delivered to the Fleet is ready to sail in ?harms way.? Today NAVSEA Groton has approximately 160 civilians and 18 military at two locations in Groton, Connecticut, and Quonset Point, Rhode Island. Having the technological edge is the best way to ensure that our Fleet is ready to face the challenges of our new world environment. Engineers at NAVSEA Groton take technologies from design to operational use and from deck plate support to deployment at sea. Our expertise spans all areas of engineering, ranging from mechanical, materials, electrical/electronics, and naval architecture. We are looking for exceptional students to be ready to face the challenges of maintaining the superiority of our Navy today. IMPORTANT: NAVSEA GROTON utilizes the Naval Acquisition Intern Program to bring in talented engineers and scientists to work at our facility. The following page provides information concerning the Department of the Navy?s Acquisition Intern Program. If you would like to be considered to work for the above Division follow the instructions given to apply. To be eligible you must have a 3.0 Grade Point Average and obtain your degree by 5/30/09.

If a student wants to take a special problems, Directed Study or "self-paced" version of a course from you, or if a student needs to register for thesis credits in order to defend his or her thesis or dissertation over the summer, then CCE requires that the student fill out Part I of the Summer Directed Study form http://www.uri.edu/es/menus/documents/DStudy.PDF The student should take the form to you to fill out Part II and to me to fill out part III, then turn in the form to Enrollment Services. These directed study and thesis courses have variable credits available, 1-3 credits for Special Problem courses and 1-9 cr for ELE 599.

Faye Boudreaux-Bartels) Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 11:31:01 -0400 Subject: [grads] Seminar: Electromagnetic Sensing Applied to DNA Sequencing & UXO Detection Problems In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <49E8A0B5.9070302@ele.uri.edu> Electromagnetic Sensing Applied to DNA Sequencing & UXO Detection Problems Prof. Fridon Shubitidze Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH Date: Friday, April 24, 2009 Location: 1 PM, 212 Kirk Hall ABSTRACT This talk will demonstrate applications of electromagnetic wave sensing to problems related to DNA sequencing and unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection. The ability to sequence an individual?s genome accurately and inexpensively is needed to detect genomic variations and to develop personalized medicine. One of several sequencing technologies that have been recently developed and tested is single-molecule force spectroscopy, which combines the use of magnetic tweezers, EM sensing using total internal reflectance, and micro-fluidics. The end-to-end length of a pulled DNA molecule depends uniquely on the pulling force and is different for single- and double-stranded molecules; it is thus possible to distinguish between the two by measuring out-of-plane positions in a fluid chamber, which can be done using the total internal reflectance fluorescent microscopy. Theoretical and experimental aspects of single-molecule force spectroscopy will be demonstrated. The cleanup of environments contaminated with buried UXO has long been identified as a high-priority military environmental problem. Broadband electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensors with operating frequencies between 20 Hz and around 100 kHz have been advanced for the detection and discrimination of UXO. However, distinguishing UXO from clutter or fragments of ordnance that did explode still remains as a major limitation of current EMI technology. The problem is complicated by the fact that the objects of interest are often embedded in a magnetically susceptible and conductive environment that contributes a certain amount of signal to the EMI response. This presentation will give a general overview of low-frequency EMI sensing technologies for underwater and magnetic environments, will describe the interactions between objects and the media surrounding them, and will illustrate how conducting and magnetic environments affect the discrimination between UXO and non-UXO items.
