Prospective Mines students discover the EE Major at “Discover Mines” Day
Girls Lead the Way
This past weekend, 2/4/23, the EE department held a soldering session for the SWE Girls Lead the Way event. The Mines SWE chapter invited high school women in the Denver area to come to Mines and participate in a full day of actives from 15 different departments. Mines students, mostly Electrical Engineers, spent most of their Saturday assisting three groups of young women to solder components onto an RGB LEDs PCB. Our students were inspiring, engaging and thoughtful in their interactions. Our EE participants were Abigal Thompson, Calla Winner, Devon Davis, Ethan Hansen, Haley Otting, Jamie Regan, Kyleigh Speier, Madeleine Nightengale-Luhan, and Bailey Oteri.
Congrats to EE Grad Student Asmaa Romia on her recent WTS-CO award!

Professor Wakin to be elevated to IEEE Fellow on January 1st. Congratulations!
The following is from an email Prof. Wakin received:
Dear Michael B. Wakin:
Recognizing the achievements of its members is an important part of the mission of the IEEE. Each year, following a rigorous evaluation procedure, the IEEE Fellow Committee recommends a select group of recipients for elevation to IEEE Fellow. Less than 0.1% of voting members are selected annually for this member grade elevation.
It is my great pleasure to inform you that the IEEE Board of Directors, at its November 2020 meeting, elevated you to IEEE Fellow, effective 1 January 2021, with the following citation:
for contributions to sparsity-based signal processing and compressive sensing
Within the next two months, you will receive your IEEE Fellow pin and certificate. Both serve as visible recognition of your elevation to the highest grade of membership in the IEEE.
You bring honor to yourself and to IEEE by your achievements. Congratulations!
