UTA Dean of Engineering Bill Carroll and alumnus Coy Veach (B.S. 1977, M.S. 1981 in civil engineering) collected two prestigious engineering awards recently. Carroll was presented the Mid-Cities Engineer of the Year Award and Veach was named Fort Worth Engineer of the Year by the Texas Society of Professional Engineers. [UTA Today 2/03]
UTA Electrical Engineering Assistant Professor Qilian Liang has been selected to receive the prestigious Young Investigator Award from the Office of Naval Research that is given to the best and brightest young academic researchers in the nation. "This is one of the most prestigious academic honors in the US and in fact worldwide," said Professsor F. L. Lewis, associate director for research at UTA's Automation & Robotics Research Institute. "It places him in the top ten percent of all US faculty." [UTA Today 2/03]
UTA ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY ONE OF NATION'S BEST YOUNG SCIENTISTS: Assistant professor of chemistry Dmitry Rudkevich has been named recipient of a Sloan Research Fellowship, recognizing him as one of the nation's best young scientists. A member of the UTA faculty since 2001, Rudkevich will receive a two-year $40,000 grant to continue research into several areas, including the supramolecular chemistry of gases. The Sloan Research Fellowship is designed to identify those who show promise of making contributions to new knowledge. [UTA Today 2/03]

We have a new review manual for the FE/EIT exam (Fundamentals of
Engineering/ Engineer-in-Training) by Michael R. Lindberg, widely
recognized among the engineering community as the leading authority on
professional engineering licensing exam preparation. This
manual is an efficient review of all the current exam topics, and
includes: a realistic simulation of the complete 8-hour exam; diagnostic
exams to identify areas needing more intensive study; more than 1,150
practice problems (with solutions included); and free software for lesson
reinforcement.
