 Information Fair: Oct. 24, Nov. 6, 7]
Message-ID: <4AEF524E.6050207@ele.uri.edu>

Dear Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering students,

We still need student volunteers for Friday's (Nov. 6) URI Open House 
Information Fair at Mackal Field House, 10:30am-1pm.

The purpose of this event is to recruit current high school seniors who 
are considering attending URI next year by answering their questions and 
explaining how the engineering curricula at URI work. If you can spare 
an hour or two of your time Friday (you don't have to stay the whole 
time) talking to prospective students (and their parents) about URI 
undergraduate degree programs, campus activities, dorm life, dining hall 
food, etc., it would be very helpful and appreciated. Faculty from each 
program will also be there to answer admission and curricular questions.

More information is given in the forwarded email below.

Thank you again to all of you who have already volunteered for 
Saturday's URI Open House!

regards,
Prof. BB

Hi All:

I'm selling a Cambridge Electric Stove. I've had it for less than a year.
It's in great condition. A wonderful heat source for those cold nights and
doesn't use much
electricity. You can turn on the stove for ambiance without heat or with
heat. I no longer have a
need to use the stove. 

If you are interested, please send me an email. I'm asking $50.00. I can
bring it to work and you can take a look at it.

I've attached a picture and some information on the stove. 

Thank you,
Meredith

Subject: [ugrads] C++ Course in Spring 2010
Message-ID: <5034BDFB-9053-4D47-8D53-015C2DBD3599@gmail.com>

Hello,
	
I am writing to generate interest in CSC 492  which is a class in C++  
for Java programmers.

After talking to the employers at the job fair a few weeks ago I  
realized everyone was looking for people with experience with C++ and  
this is currently the only high-level class on the subject at URI.  If  
you are at all thinking of being a programmer for a living, or even  
might use software on the job, C++ is used for everything and  
proficiency with it is an amazing asset to you as an engineer.  Please  
think of taking this class, you can take it for 1-4 credits.

Dr. Herve (jyh at cs.uri.edu) is teaching the course and you need a  
permission number from him to take the class, so contact him if you  
are interested.

Also, Dr. Boudreaux-Bartels has agreed to count this as a Computer  
Engineering elective and all that is required is to fill out this  
petition: (http://www.egr.uri.edu/coe/documents/COEPetitionFormRevF08.pdf 
).

If you have any questions you can email me at: nidal.fakhouri at gmail.com

Thanks for your time,
	Nidal Fakhouri

Hi,

Correction to below. My response to Nidal re: CSC492 had a few key 
qualifiers left out of his email below:

"for most students, ECBE dept is accepting students petition to use this 
course as substitute for CPE elective, but petition must be submitted 
before start of spring semester. "

There may be extenuating circumstances in a couple of cases where this 
course substitution will not be allowed, so be sure to submit petition 
and get approval weeks before start of Spring semester.

regards,
Prof. BB

Subject: [ugrads] Info session & free pizza! 5 yr BS+MS pgm in EE,
 CPE or BME:  Dec. 7, 5:15pm, K102
Message-ID: <4B06EAC7.30706@ele.uri.edu>

Dear Juniors and Seniors,

        This past summer the RI Board of Governors approved a new "fast 
track" graduate program in which URI students can earn both a BS and an 
MS degree in any of the 8 engineering majors URI offers in approximately 
5 years. If you've been considering applying for graduate school, and 
would like to find out more about the pros and cons of this accelerated 
MS degree program versus the traditional 2 year MS program, please mark 
your calendars to attend the:

           Information Session on 5 year BS+MS program for
                 Biomedical, Electrical or Computer Engineers
           Given by: Profs. Fischer and Boudreaux-Bartels
           Kelley Hall, room 102
           5:15 - 6 pm

           Free pizza and soda will be provided

The ECBE Department Graduate Program Director and the Chairperson will 
be there to give a quick overview of the program, its entrance 
requirements, and answer any questions that you may have.

        Essentially, the way the fast track works is that students can 
opt to get a head start on the graduate application process and required 
MS coursework by taking during their senior year an extra 1-2 graduate 
courses that will count towards satisfying their MS degree requirements. 
Because of the additional course load during the senior year, only top 
students (GPA > 3.3 at end of Junior year) are eligible.


        As before, there are two MS degree options: non-thesis vs thesis
Master's (aka Professional vs Research Master's).
    * In the non-thesis MS option, after students graduate with their BS 
degree in May, they then complete the remaining graduate coursework, 
significant project and exam requirements during subsequent summer, Fall 
and Spring semesters.
    * In the thesis MS option, students should also identify a research 
project and Major Professor during the senior year. Graduate coursework 
and research work will be taken during summer, Fall and Spring following 
completion of BS degree. Due to the unpredictable nature of research, 
the thesis MS will most likely require a second summer semester to 
complete.

        The attached spreadsheet illustrates how the 5 hr BS+MS program 
might work for Electrical Engineering majors (class of 2012); yellow 
highlighted text indicates graduate coursework for MS degree.


        If you plan to attend the Information session on Dec. 7, please 
RSVP by Dec. 4th to leach at egr.uri.edu so we'll know how much food to order.

regards,
Prof. BB
