Budget Cuts Will Take A Toll It is abundantly clear that the impending confluence of federal and state budget cuts, along with the on-going reduction in industry philanthropy, will impact the Center for Excellence in Engineering and Diversity (CEED) in the near future. The large majority of CEED‟s funding is extramural in the form of National Science Foundation awards, UC Office of the President, industry contributions, and private foundation awards—a funding mix that enabled CEED to thrive is now in jeopardy with scant possibilities for the institutionalization of CEED‟s budget. Over the past fifteen years, our sponsors and investors have provided the CEED staff the grand opportunity to develop excellent precollege programs such as MESA and Rick Ainsworth SMARTS; that support over 900 inner-city students and 18 teachers in STEM disciplines CEED Director (featured on page 4.) It may be that our greatest accomplishments have come with the innovative academic, retention and professional development programs that have produced over 1,100 engineering and computing graduates from underserved communities. These outcomes can be attributed to the summer bridging programs for freshmen, third-year, and transfer students aimed at mastery of „gatekeeper‟ courses at critical transition points in the curriculum. Equally important are alliances made with faculty to provide early research experiences that socialize and retain CEED students in the tacit engineering culture that graduate students inhabit. Of course, none of this success would be possible without the support of loyal staff members. So far, eight CEED alumni are in faculty tenure track positions. Well over one hundred-fifty are known to have graduate degrees. These student populations represent the near majority of the state‟s K-14 population, yet they continue to be severely underrepresented in the UC engineering and computing enrollments. CEED remains unique in the UC system and steadfast in our commitment to the CEED Mission and Vision. Rising above the financial storm will be difficult, and in the process I hope to hold on to a rather amazingly dedicated and talented CEED staff.
CEED Receives SRC Education Alliance URO The Semiconductor Research Corporation‟s Education Alliance announced research opportunities funded through a major grant by the Intel Foundation for 12 UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science undergraduates. UCLA students received $99,200 from a $1.4 million grant given by Intel Foundation through participation in the SRC Education Alliance‟s Undergraduate Research Opportunities program (URO). URO is an innovative program that provides undergraduates with valuable research experience and mentoring. It seeks to attract a diverse student population, including women and other underrepresented groups. The UCLA CEED Research Intensive Series in Engineering for Underrepresented Populations (RISE-UP)/ SRC URO Program 2010-2011 award recipients are: Gabriel Garcia, who is working on Optical Properties of Nanostructured Indium Phosphide Thin Films, and José Quintero, who is working on Nanofabrication and its Application to the Research on PcRAM Scaling Limit. “In the research environment, students seem to derive great enjoyment from exploring and applying the basic principles of engineering, science, computing and mathematics to create something new,” said Vijay K. Dhir, Dean of the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science. “The SRC Education Alliance URO program, with funding from Intel, provides opportunities for undergraduate students, particularly those from underrepresented groups, to accomplish this under the direction of exceptionally accomplished and dedicated faculty members, post-doctoral researchers and graduate students who are working in leading research areas.” The following UCLA CEED students have previously re- back, left to right: Prof. Laurent Pilon (MAE), Rick Ainsworth Karen Kim (CENS), Pia Wilson-Body (Intel), Dean Vijay ceived Intel-funded SRC Education Alliance URO grants: Ashly (CEED), Dhir, Barbara McAllister (Intel), Audrey Pool O‟Neal (CEED), Ainley, Brandon Aust, Anthony Erlinger, Vanessa Evoen, Sophia MaryLisabeth Rich (SRC) front, left to right: Ashly Ainley (CEED), Dani Napier Harrison (Intel), Joey Degges (CENS), Sophie Gerrick Muñoz, Eric Padilla and George Torres.

Industry Events Twentieth Annual Corporate Gamesmanship CEED hosts the annual Corporate Gamesmanship before the UCLA Engineering and Technical Career Fair. This event was created to help CEED students with career fair strategies and networking in order to be more relaxed and prepared for the following day. Industry representatives host a small career fair, conduct mock and real interviews, and host workshops to provide the students with guidance. This year, newcomers Frito Lay Bakersfield hosted an information session about their company culture and the details of the food production plant. Next, Cisco facilitated a “Career Fair Strategies” workshop to teach students career fair etiquette and the do‟s and don‟ts of career fairs. Finally, Sandia National Labs presented a “Why go to Graduate School?” workshop to encourage and inform students about opportunities in higher education and the financial aid/ fellowships that are available. Company representatives and students participate in this smaller scale career fair in order to give students more time to

interact with representatives longer than they would have at the larger scale UCLA Engineering and Technical career fair, the following day. Lastly, companies conduct mock interviews with a range of students, from freshmen to graduate students. This opportunity gives students a chance to prepare themselves for real interviews by listening to critiques from the interviewers. That way, when the student has a real interview, they have a better idea of what experiences to emphasize and how to behave. The real interviews are conducted by hiring companies, giving the company the opportunity to interview more students, and giving the students a step in the door sooner than the wide range of students at UCLA. Sincere thanks to the following companies for participating: Accenture, Baxter, Boeing, Chevron, Cisco, Frito Lay, Intel, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Sandia National Labs, and Xerox.
Perfecting Student Resumes A week prior to Corporate Gamesmanship, CEED hosts the Resume Critique. This is a program where representatives from various companies talk one on one with students to help them improve their resumes, whether it be by emphasizing information, improving the design, or just tips to make sure their resumes are at the top of the stack. The Critique usually lasts from 12 PM—7 PM with various representatives attending at different times throughout the day. This year, around 70 students attended during this seven-hour time period for guidance on their resumes. Students ranging from freshmen to graduate students attended this event to seek support and direction. One student said, “The company representative I talked to from LADWP was very helpful. My resume was very crowded with all my experience, and she helped me clean it up to make it more presentable. I really appreciated it.” A special thank you to the company representatives from Baxter, LADWP, Northrop Grumman, and Xerox.

Twenty-Seventh Annual Scholarship & Recognition Banquet On November 19th, 2010 CEED hosted the Twenty-Seventh Annual Scholarship & Recognition Banquet. This banquet serves to honor our undergraduate, graduate and pre-college students for their scholastic achievement and leadership. It also recognizes the support provided to the CEED community by our Industry Partners, UCLA Engineering Faculty and the Pre-college Teachers for their on-going dedication to the CEED effort. The banquet consists of a one-hour reception filled with networking and mingling among all of the guests. This is followed by dinner and the highly anticipated award presentations. The company representatives presenting scholarships sit at tables with the student scholars receiving their awards. The competition for technical talent is global in nature and increasingly intense. This event offers the attending companies the opportunity to meet and motivate the upcoming generation of domestic engineering students. Alysha Del Valle, ABC7 Traffic Reporter, served as the Mistress of Ceremonies. She mentioned how students should
not be afraid of industry because the students are the commodities and are the next generation of industry. William Harper III from Pacific Gas & Electric served as the Keynote Speaker. The resounding theme of his talk was that diversity should be seen as a corporate asset and that problem solvers with different backgrounds and experiences often find unique and innovative solutions to some of the most complex problems. Sixty-four undergraduate students in varying engineering majors, two graduate students in engineering and five precollege (middle and high school) students received scholarships totaling $277,013. These awards were provided by: Alcoa, Boeing, Chevron, Cisco, General Motors, Hewlett Packard, Microsoft, Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney, Raytheon, Xerox, National Science Foundation, MESA Program, Clay Foundation, HSSEAS Dean, CEED, MSP Pre-College, and the Alex Mena Family (CEED Alumni). Thank you to all our sponsors!

Pre-College Initiatives Mathematics, Engineering and Science Achievement (MESA) Program
UCLA MESA Center is committed to the advancement of diversity and excellence in STEM at the pre-college level. Our efforts are enriched by educational partnerships that help leverage resources (human and financial) to ensure that program services reach and impact the greatest number of students. Partnerships with industry, UCLA undergraduate engineering students, Community Colleges, and other educational organizations are vital to our capacity to offer quality services and program innovation. UCLA CEED would like to use this section to highlight the outstanding contributions of our MESA partners and to express our appreciation for their continued support. Undergraduate Engineering Mentors (Tri-Org) UCLA„s AISES, NSBE, SOLES undergraduate engineering clubs collaborate as a “Tri-Org” to successfully raise funds to support pre-college initiatives for MESA students to raise awareness of and interest in engineering careers. The Tri-Org sponsors the following events annually: Engineers in Training Day: A STEM-
focused program for 200 MESA high
school students offering workshops on college admissions and engineering design mini competitions. Youth Motivation Day (YMD): A day of hands-on science and engineering fun for 250 middle school students. Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Day: 200 high school MESA girls visit UCLA for lab tours, talks with undergraduate/graduate engineering women about college life and career options. The Tri-Org also coordinates visits to MESA schools to offer math tutoring and help with MESA projects. Recently, AISES received a grant from Google to provide MESA outreach to American Indian students at a local high school.
Community College Partners El Camino Community College has partnered with UCLA MESA for the past three years bringing Robotics instruction and college credit to MESA students who participate in CEED‟s summer Science Mathematics Achievement and Research Training for Students (SMARTS) Program. East Los Angeles Community College (ELAC) has provided academic support for eight years by installing Statistics as a course offering at UCLA for SMARTS students during the summer. These partnerships offer academic advantages to MESA students as they learn college level material and earn dual credit for their summer work.
UCLA CEED Industry Advisory Board (IAB) CEED‟s IAB provides funding to support program operations and company contributions to Tri-Org-sponsored events for MESA students. Board members volunteer at MESA Days and other career exploration activities during the year. They conduct hands-on STEM demonstrations, present company exhibits, engage students in interactive engineering workshops, host company tours, and connect MESA teachers to classroom STEM resources such as Raytheon‟s “Math Moves U” project.

Academic Development Tri-Org/CEED Problem Solving Workout This year, CEED implemented a new program called the TriOrg/CEED Problem Solving Workout (or Tri-Org/CEED Study Night) to help students in their core engineering courses. Academic Excellence Workshops (AEWs) were created for lower-division courses such as the Math, Chemistry and Physics courses. In the past, CEED had AEW‟s for some upper division courses, but there was difficulty with getting engineering graduate students to commit to tutoring students for 4 hours a week. This is how the Tri-Org/CEED Problem Solving Workout was born.
“This really helped me prepare for my tests. I was able to understand the material very well.” -Navarre Miles, Civil Engineering, 2nd Year The idea for this program was to help students in upper-division engineering courses by having a professor or graduate student go through practice problems or exams before their midterms or finals. Students also have the opportunity to ask questions in order to better understand the course material.

Ph.D. Candidate Sonya Lopez tutoring 2nd year Navarre Miles with Civil & Environmental Engineering course material
Study nights are currently held two nights a quarter once during midterms and again before finals around 4th or 5th week and during 10th week. Physics, for lower classmen, was added to the study night because physics workshops within the Physics Department are now only offered to Physics majors. Dr. Brent Corbin of the Physics Department volunteered his time to help CEED students during the Problem Solving Workshop to better understand their course material. During the 4th week of Fall quarter, the Tri-Org Problem Solving Workout consisted of a three-hour study session at the Tennis Center. Professor Brent Corbin and graduate students from Chemical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering helped undergrads with course material. Attending students sat with their classmates and a graduate tutor, asked questions, solved problems, and received the help they needed for their midterms. Special thanks to Dr. Brent Corbin and all other Tutors for their help with this event. Hope to see you next quarter!
Academic Excellence Workshops
Course Clustering
Every quarter, CEED organizes Academic Excellence Workshops (AEWs) for underclassmen in chemistry, computer science, math and physics. A graduate student, sometimes the Teaching Assistant (TA) for the course or an upper level CEED student, facilitates the weekly workshops. During fall quarter, there were AEWs for freshmen and sophomore general chemistry, calculus, linear algebra and differential equations courses. Facilitators usually review material covered in class that week and create practice problems for the students. During their two-hour, twice a week sessions, students work together to solve practice problems, ask questions, and receive the help they need to fully understand the course material.
For the past twenty-seven years, CEED Counselor Sherry Hormozi, has been meeting with CEED students every quarter in order to plan out their schedules for the following quarter. As students are preparing their schedules, Sherry suggests classes that other CEED students are going to take. As a result, a “cluster” of CEED students enroll in the same courses. So instead of entering a large lecture hall with a bunch of strangers, they are enrolled in a class with a group of CEED students. This makes it easier to organize AEWs for the students. In addition, course clustering helps students form study groups and makes them feel more comfortable in large classes. This practice has helped many students succeed in their classes in the past and continues to be successful today.

Professor Jason Cong‟s research interests include computer-aided design of very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) circuits and systems, design and synthesis of system-on-a-chip, programmable systems, novel computer architectures, nano-systems, and highly scalable algorithms. CEED undergraduate students have worked in Professor Cong‟s lab over the last few years.
This past summer, four students participating in CEED‟s pre-college summer program (SMARTS) had the opportunity to conduct research in Professor Cong‟s lab. Under the guidance of graduate student Ming Yan, Professor Alex Bui, Professor Glenn Reinman and Professor Luminita Yese. Their research, entitled “Parallel Programming of Medical Imagining Application on Many-Core Processors” focused on two techniques to program many-core systems: (1) concurrent collections CnC and (2) threaded building blocks TBB. Microprocessor designers have shifted to integrating more processing cores onto a single piece of silicon, which means that future application writers will need to learn how to coordinate these cores to provide high performance for their applications. The SMARTS students learned the basics of parallel programming, made use of the two techniques to parallelize a medical imaging application, analyzed the speedup obtained and Example of fluid registration used in suggested areas of further improvement. medical imaging processing pipelines

Professor Vasilios Manousiouthakis is known for his research in hydrogen (H2) fuel cells, specifically, producing hydrogen fuel cell cars. This summer, high school students participating in CEED‟s pre-college summer program (SMARTS) and CEED undergraduate student Sophia Munoz conducted research with Professor Manousiouthakis and his graduate student Fernando Olmos on designing a hydrogen fueling station.
Current H2 fueling stations research is hindered by the H2 temperature rise phenomenon—temperature increases while filling the vehicle‟s tank, ultimately result in an explosion. The SMARTS students‟ research proposed a solution that models the fill-up system and finds the optimum H2 flow rate that avoids H2 explosion limits and achieve a competitive fill-up time, compared to gasoline. Under Professor Manousiouthakis‟ guidance, the SMARTS students performed theoretical and hands-on work, resulting in Graduate student Fernando Olmos with SMARTS students a comprehensive learning experience. during the poster presentation
EIT Day volunteers and participants preparing for the final Egg Drop Competition
Engineers in Training (EIT) Day is an annual event hosted by the Tri-Org (AISES, NSBE and SOLES). Students from local schools are invited to the UCLA campus to learn what engineering is all about. The students participate in engineeringmotivated workshops which give them a better understanding and appreciation for science. Activities range from building bridges with toothpicks and marshmallows to communication workshops. The main event of the day is the egg drop challenge competition. We also had informational workshops such as a UC Admissions and Financial Aid. The kids were able to interact with undergraduate students as well as professional engineers. This year, employees from Raytheon‟s El Segundo site participated as facilitators of the straw rockets workshop. During this workshop, students built rockets out of straws and competed to determine who could launch their rockets the furthest. The kids definitely had fun throughout the day. However, the most fun was had at the egg drop. The students created a capsule to insulate an egg from breaking after being dropped from a five-story building. Then they watched as each group‟s egg capsule dropped, whether it be gracefully or not, and everyone got really excited. Overall, the event was very fulfilling, both for the students and for the volunteers.

SOLES/SHPE National Conference In late October, a group of UCLA Society of Latino Engineers and Scientists (SOLES) students travelled to Cincinnati, Ohio to participate the 2010 Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) National Conference. Members spent the week attending workshops and the conference career fair, as well as organizing a team to participate in the Academic Olympiad. Students were able to network with representatives from many different companies; some were even given the opportunity to interview on-site at the conference. After all the hard work, the trip ended with Brazilian barbeque for Rick‟s dinner. It was a great experience for all students involved. They were able to develop their interviewing and resume-building skills while meeting other SHPE students from across the country. The members also enjoyed exploring downtown Cincinnati and spending time
with fellow UCLA SOLES students. The 2011 SHPE Conference will be held in nearby Anaheim, so look forward to a strong showing of UCLA SOLES, as well as SHPE members from Region 2.
