Department Activities A. Industrial and Professional Advisory Council (IPAC) IPAC is a select group of Penn State alumni from industry, government agencies, and academia who advise the department on academic issues and on current trends and future directions in engineering. The group met in March on the Penn State campus and had discussions with faculty and students. A report was prepared outlining their recommendations for the department. IPAC members are listed with their companies.

Tammy Kubasko Urbanski, Fairchild Semiconductor William Wannisky, Fitzpatrick, Cella, Harper, and Scinto B. Arthur H. Waynick Memorial Lecture The 2014 speaker for the Arthur H. Waynick Memorial Lecture was Thomas Seliga. 71 Thomas A. Seliga is a consulting electrical/electronics engineer and atmospheric scientist, specializing in related areas of remote sensing and systems, aviation systems, surface transportation systems, and ionospheric wave propagation. Prior to retiring in 2010, Seliga served as an electronics engineer with the Communications, Navigation and Surveillance Division of the U.S. Department of Transportation Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge, MA, where he was involved in studies and support of operational weather sensors and systems for the Federal Aviation Administration as well as contributions to airport surveillance systems. Most of Seliga’s career was spent in academe in a variety of positions at Penn State, Ohio State, University of Washington, and University of Toledo. He also held the position of program director for aeronomy at the National Science Foundation and short-term positions at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the National Weather Service, and the Italian National Research Council’s Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate. His research and teaching interest cover a wide range of topics, incorporating subjects related to electromagnetic wave propagation and scattering in ionized and non-ionized media, atmospheric studies on air pollution, surface surveillance radar techniques for aviation, and airport weather sensors and systems. The Russian Radiophysical Research Institute has credited Seliga with recognizing the possibility of creating artificial periodic inhomogeneities of the ionospheric plasma that helped lead to a new method of experimentation now performed in ionospheric heating facilities throughout the world. He was the main force in developing the dual polarization concepts that have revolutionized the field of radar meteorology. Recently his investigations have turned to weather-related issues. C. Mentoring Program 2014 was the fourth full year of the department mentoring program with a group of 150 mentor/student pairs. D. Sabbatical Spring 2014 Yanxi Liu Fall 2014 William Higgins E.
