Instructional development sessions, this fall
Save the

when
Designing Courses for More Significant Learning Experiences
will be sponsored by the new Faculty Center for Learning & Teaching. Dr. Dee Fink, recently retired director of the
instructional development program at the University of Oklahoma,
will lead the sessions.

Dr. Engelken
receives project grant
Dr. Robert Engelken, Electrical Engineering, in conjunction with the company
InvoTek, Inc. of Alma, was recently awarded a National
Institutes of Health Phase I SBIR grant for the project, "Reliable and Safe Laser Pointing
for People with Locked-in Syndrome."
The project builds upon Dr. Engelken’s and InvoTek’s previous joint
research on the development of a new
generation of low cost, large area light detector systems using
films composed of semiconductor/polymer composites. The sprayed
films are low hazard and environmentally benign. These will be used as
light-activated augmentative communication and computer interface
devices for the physically disabled.
