V. Department Activities
A. Instructional Laboratory upgrades
For 2010 the Electrical Engineering Lab Committee upgraded equipment in the new Microwave Lab in room 329 EE East.
B. Christopher Raspanti Memorial Digital Signal Processing Lab Dedication
This instructional lab, located in 204 EE West, was formally dedicated on May 21. Chris passed away unexpectedly in 2005 while a student
at Penn State. After his death, Chris’ family established a memorial fund to purchase equipment for the lab in his memory. New
computers, digital signal processing boards, function generators and software were purchased with the donations.
C. Research Experience for Undergraduates
The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded program which supports active
research participation by undergraduate students who come to Penn State from other universities. 2010 marks the eighth year for the
program at Penn State.
The 2010 participates are listed along with their major, university, research topic, and faculty mentor.

D. 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.

E. Arthur H. Waynick Memorial Lecture
David R. Smith, William Bevan Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University and director for the Center of
Metamaterial and Integrated Plasmonics was the 2010 Waynick speaker on April 30. His research group studies all aspects of plasmonic
structures, including plasmon nanoparticles as a platform for biological and biomedical diagnostics, as well as integrated plasmonic
components as chip-scale nanophotonic devices for information processing.
F. Mentoring Program
2010 was the inaugural year of the department mentoring program with a group of 85 mentor/student pairs. The program kicked off in
the fall at the Society of Penn State Electrical Engineers (SPSEE) meeting in October.
