Category: 2018 meeting

The 2018 Meeting was a rousing success. The change in venue seemed to agree with most folks, and the afternoon rain did nothing to dampen the spirits of the folks who took the bus tour of the UF campus. Headed by two ECE Florida students, the tour gave participants a flavor of the UF campus while showcasing the flipped classroom facility and the FICS Research SCAN Lab.

Dinner was accompanied by featured speaker, Dr. Mark Law, Director of UF Honors Program, and former ECE Chair at University of Florida. His talk was entitled, “Can an Honors Program Help Electrical Engineering Students? If so, How?”

The next day was all business, with discussion topics ranging from ECE Graduate Student Recruiting to Electrical engineering vs. Computer Engineering and Robotics in the ECE Curriculum. There was also an ECEDHA update provided by Chiu Choi.

Remember that our annual SECEDHA meeting will be held in Gainesville this year. This is the first time it will be held away from Atlanta for as long as we can remember. We plan to rotate the SECEDHA site based on the home university of the current SECEDHA president.

The SECEDHA meeting will officially start at 5:30pm on Thursday, Oct 25 and will end at 2:30pm on Friday,Oct 26. There will be an optional pre-session immediately before the meeting that will run from 2pm to 4:30pm on Oct 25. During this pre-session, attendees will have more discussions and a chance to see theUF campus and ECE facilities (including the nanoscale research facilities and the flipped classroom).

The meeting will be held at the Hilton University of Florida Conference Center. We are still working on the program agenda but the following items are now ready:

• Meeting registration is available here. Like last year, the early registration fee is $200, but this year you will be able to pay by credit card or invoice as well as by check. Early registration ends on Oct. 11 and the registration fee goes up to $300 after that.
