ANNOUNCEMENTS
---------------------------------------------------
Graduation is coming up! Every year the student chapters of the Association for Computing Machinery and Eta Kappa Nu organize a School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Graduation. This event is shorter and more personal than the University-wide graduation and is tailored to the faculty and students of our school. All students who have graduated since Summer 2008 and anticipate graduating through Fall 2009 are welcome to participate. Details

OSU To Tackle Solar Future in New “Energy Frontier Research Center”
Oregon State University experts hope to develop some of the solar energy technology of the future in a new Energy Frontier Research Center announced today by the U.S. Department of Energy and the White House – a $777 million initiative to create breakthrough technology for a 21st-century energy economy. As part of that effort, researchers in the College of Engineering and College of Science at OSU will receive a five-year, $3 million grant to help form a “Center for Inverse Design.” This innovative concept uses theory and computation along with other experimental methods to more rapidly identify the advanced materials that can make solar power less costly and more efficient. OSU News Release
Rising with the sun
The state is rapidly becoming a hotbed for solar manufacturing, and the mid-valley is basking in the glow. The centerpiece of Oregon’s solar industry, the SolarWorld factory in Hillsboro, is the biggest such plant in North America. The $400 million facility, which manufactures solar cells out of chemically treated silicon, is expected to employ 2,000 people at full capacity. Another big draw is a work-ready labor pool that can cross over from the state’s semiconductor industry. Corvallis Gazette-Times
