2020 Girls Lead the Way Program
On Saturday, Feb 29, the Electrical Engineering department hosted two workshop for the Girls Lead the Way. Ten Mines students worked with over 45 high school women in a soldering activity they brought home with them. While soldering they learned about basic electrical circuits, LEDs and got a chance to talk to our students about what it is like to be an engineering student.
STEM Scouts Lab at Parmalee Elementary School
On Monday, Jan 13, Electrical Engineering students Paige and Ellie hosted a STEM Scouts Lab at Parmalee Elementary School. Paige and Ellie guided students in soldering LEDs and other parts to printed circuit boards. Everyone had a good time and learned some new skills in electronics fabrication.
Congratulations to Dr. Haupt on his new book
Dr. Haupt’s new book, titled “Wireless Communications Systems,” will be released in January 2020.
Thank you to all who participated in the ice cream social!
The Ice Cream Club hosted a special event with the EE department last Friday, October 4. EE students, faculty, and undecided freshmen enjoyed ice cream and a soldering activity in the CoorsTek Atrium.
Special thanks to Grant Rawls, president of Ice Cream Club, and Professor Coulston who provided the soldering activity.
Inter House Team wins 1st place at 2019 Solar Decathlon Africa!
Inter House is an American-Morrocan Team. Many students from Mines participated including EE graduate Michael Blonsky and undergraduates Christian Amundson, Christopher Burroughs, Ryan Reschak, Linlee Morrison, and Zoe Logan. The team went through 1.5 years in planning and designing, 3 weeks of construction, and 2 weeks of testing and presenting the Inter House to judges in 10 categories: Engineering & Construction, Innovation, Architecture, Market Appeal, Communications & Social Awareness, Home Life & Entertainment, Electrical Energy Balance, Appliances, Sustainability, and Comfort Conditions. Inter House was awarded the highest combined score in all 10 contests. Individual contest results can be viewed on the SDA website.
Thank you to all who participated in Dr. Coulston’s Celebrate Mines event!
Dr. Coulston, Dr. Aaen, and two seniors – Drew Hinkle and Connor Ventura – helped over 30 students solder together “LED flowers,” a Mines designed project that allows a user to make adjustments to the red, green, and blue light output from an LED. Many of the students were learning to solder for the first time.
Chris Coulston awarded Best Short Paper at Rocky Mountain Section, ASEE Conference
Chris Coulston attended the Rocky Mountain Section of the ASEE conference from May 19 to May 21. While there he presented a short paper titled “Dimensions of a Problem That Elicit Requests for One-On-One Help from Students in a Laboratory Setting”. This paper was co-authored with Hisham Sager, David Werner, John Wiens and Thomas Henery Reagan. This paper was awarded the best short paper.

- Congratulations to Abdulhakeem Alsaleem on winning 3rd place in the Mines Solar Challenge. The picture seen here is his novel Board Design. Below is some info about the project. Great work and keep it up!
The main purpose of this project is to design a very thin micro-inverter to be seamlessly mounted on a PV panel. Micro-inverters allow a single PV solar array panel to be connected to the grid, or also to work in stand-alone. This power electronic project provides flexibility, reliability, low maintenance, also retrofitting to already installed PV panels. The design and implementation for such a very thin and compact micro-inverter can replace junction boxes, making PV panels more aesthetically appealing, allowing them to be individually mounted on lighting poles, building entrances, as well as in public spaces where a convenient AC outlet powered by solar energy can provide people a connection for their AC portable equipment.
