New Department
Heads
The University of
Tennessee College
of Engineering
(COE) has
announced the
hiring of two new
department heads
in the nuclear
engineering and
materials science
departments.
Construction on the John Tickle Engineering
Building began on July 29, 2011. Messer
Construction is responsible for building the facility
and Grieves and Associates are the architects. The
building is currently projected to be substantially
completed in 20 months, by the end of March
2013, which will enable academic activities to
begin in the building by the Fall 2013 semester.
Department of Industrial and Information
Engineering on the fifth floor.
Associate Dean Bill Dunne was very pleased to
learn about this completion timeline.
The $23.1 million new Tickle facility is made
possible through major private support from John
Tickle, an industrial engineering alumnus and
the chairman of Strongwell Corporation, and his
wife Ann, and public funding from the State of
Tennessee. Additional gifts from Chad (BS/IE
’70) and Ann Holliday (BS/CCI ’70), Jim Gibson
(BS/IE ‘71) and Eric Zeanah (BS/IE ’84) as well
as from the chancellor’s office have created a true
public/private partnership for the new building.
“We are fortunate that the construction
contractors, Messer, believe that they can
substantially complete the project four months
sooner for the end of March 2013, because we will
be able to put the building in service one semester
earlier,” Dunne said. “This timeline also provides
a great opportunity for us to feature the building
to our college alumni and friends during events
around the home football games of fall 2013.”
After completion, the building will house
the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering on the first four floors and the
Along with the completion of the Min H. Kao
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Building, which is scheduled in September of 2011
with move-in beginning in October, the Tickle
building will provide much-needed expansion
space for the college.

Dr. J. Wesley Hines,
the current interim
vice chancellor
for research at
the University
of Tennessee,
Knoxville and a
nuclear engineering
professor, has been
appointed head of
the UT Knoxville
Department
of Nuclear
Engineering (NE).
Dr. J. Wesley Hines
Hines will assume
the department
Dr. Kurt Sickafus
head role on or
before January 1, 2012, once the university has
concluded a successful national search for a
permanent vice chancellor for research. Hines was
named the interim vice chancellor for research in
2010. He previously served as the interim associate
dean for research and technology for the COE
from 2008 to 2009.
Hines attended the Naval Nuclear Power School
in Orlando, Florida in 1986 and worked as a
U.S. Naval Officer on naval nuclear submarines
from 1987 to 1990. He started his career at UT
Knoxville in the nuclear engineering department
in 1995 as a research assistant professor. In 2005,
Hines was promoted to professor in the nuclear
engineering department.
Hines has earned numerous recognitions from
the university and the COE, including the

From the Dean’s Desk
COE Names Two New Department Heads
I am writing this letter the day before the
start of the FY12 fall semester and reflecting
on semesters past. University enrollment has
remained at approximately 27,500 students for
many years. However, our college has grown
significantly in both size and quality. Eight
years ago, engineering students were 8% of
the UTK student population. Three years ago
that figure was 10% and last fall engineering
students comprised about 3,250 students—nearly
12% of the total UTK student population.
Last year’s engineering enrollment included a
30% increase in the freshman class. This year’s
new student enrollment is about the same, so
growth will continue in our sophomore, junior
and senior classes for some time to come. We
also had a 25% increase in the number of Ph.D.
students last fall, an increase that is likely to
be maintained for this new academic year, as
our faculty continue to be very successful in
obtaining external funding.
Dr. Wayne Davis

This week’s freshman engineering students
enter with an average high school GPA of 4.0
and an average math ACT score of 30.5—also
a new high! The growth over the last three
years has occurred in a period when the
university’s budget was reduced by about 30%.
Our growth, in large part, has been sustained by
the diligence, hard work and increased efforts
of our faculty and staff and by the philanthropic
support of friends and alumni.
Those philanthropic efforts have resulted in
the Min Kao and Tickle buildings (for webcam
progress and information visit http://www.
engr.utk.edu/). But beyond those tremendous
gifts are several thousand other individuals
and companies whose combined giving makes
a real difference. Endowments for the Jerry
E. Stoneking engage™ program enable us
to advance first-year engineering education.
Faculty endowments have given us the ability
to recognize exceptional achievement and keep
some of our excellent professors at Tennessee.
Naming rooms in several of our buildings offers
us the opportunity to recognize donors and also
builds departmental endowments.
As I think back on my own education, I
am keenly aware of the faculty and alumni
who provided me the opportunity for higher
education. My undergraduate degree was
financed in part by a four-year Alumni
Scholarship. I still contribute to that university
on an annual basis, because without the
philanthropy of the alumni who created that
scholarship, I would never have been able to
complete my degree. My graduate education was
funded by graduate research assistantships that
were a direct result of faculty efforts in securing
externally funded grants and contracts. Today,
25% of our undergraduate students receive
scholarships funded by friends and alumni and
the majority of our graduate students are on
graduate teaching or research assistantships.
Clearly we, as alumni, are indebted to those
who have come before us and contributed to the
college’s success through support of the college’s
programs.
As I reflect back on what an engineering
education means to those of us fortunate enough
to have had this rigor, I am so grateful for the
generosity of many who make it possible. I am
also challenged by a simple fact–only about 12%
of our College of Engineering alumni give back
to their university on an annual basis and only
40% of those give to one of our college programs.
I issue the challenge to all of our alumni and
friends to help us educate the next generation of
engineering leaders.

Chancellor’s Research Award in 2007, the COE
Research Fellow Award in 2006 and 2009, the
Moses E. and Mayme Brooks Distinguished
Professor Award in 2005, the COE Teaching
Fellow Award in 2005, and the Allen & Hoshall
Engineering Faculty Award in 2002.
Hines’ research areas include applied artificial
intelligence, surveillance and diagnostics,
instrumentation and controls, modeling and
simulation and maintenance and reliability
engineering. He currently serves as the director
of the college’s Reliability and Maintainability
Engineering Program, which offers an
interdepartmental M.S. degree in reliability and
maintainability engineering through a joint
relationship between the engineering college
and the Department of Statistics, Operations and
Management Science.
Hines will succeed H.L. (Lee) Dodds, who will
continue as department head until the vice
chancellor search is successfully concluded. Dodds,
who has been a nuclear engineering faculty
member for thirty-five years—including fifteen
years serving as the nuclear engineering department
head—plans to retire December 31, 2011. The
nuclear engineering department is currently ranked
ninth in the nation by U.S. News and World
Report and has experienced dramatic increases in
enrollment due to renewed interest in the nuclear
engineering profession.

with their scientists and utilize their facilities.
Leading the Top 25 Research initiative has given
me the opportunity to understand the campus
goals and work with faculty and administrators
at all levels to put plans in place to achieve these
goals. This experience of strategic planning and
implementation will be directly applicable to the
departmental level.”
Hines received a B.S. in electrical engineering
from Ohio University, Athens, in 1985, an M.S.
in nuclear engineering and an M.B.A. from Ohio
State University in 1992 and a Ph.D. in nuclear
engineering from Ohio State University in 1994.
Dr. Kurt Sickafus, former Project Leader at Los
Alamos National Laboratory, has been named as
the Alvin and Sally Beaman Professor and Head of
the University of Tennessee (UT) Department of
Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), effective
August 1, 2011.
Sickafus has been associated with Los Alamos
since 1989. He was a part-time faculty member
at the University of New Mexico Extended
University-Los Alamos Center. He has authored
or co-authored more than 200 publications and is
the recipient of numerous awards, including the
Los Alamos National Laboratory Distinguished
Mentor Performance Award and the Los Alamos
National Laboratory 2001 Fellows Prize. He was
named as a Fellow of the Los Alamos National
Laboratory in 2008.
“We have grown extensively in terms of students,
faculty and research over the last five years,” Hines
said. “Our faculty has doubled in size and our
research has tripled. We are currently constrained
in terms of space and support services, but a plan
is in place and we will be receiving 5,000 square
feet of additional space and an additional support
person within the next six months. These resources
will remove the bottleneck and allow us to
continue our growth in academic productivity.”
Sickafus received his B.A. in physics and
mathematics from Ohio Wesleyan University in
1978. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in
materials science and engineering from Cornell
University in 1981 and 1985, respectively.
“The NE department has achieved a number
9 national ranking (number 8 among public
universities) from initially being unranked, and
we’ve become the third largest nuclear engineering
program in the U.S.,” Dodds commented.
“We’ve also had a very successful long-term
relationship with ORNL for over 35 years. These
accomplishments are due entirely to the hard work
of our faculty, staff and students.”
Sickafus succeeded Dr. George Pharr, a UT
Chancellor’s Professor who served as both MSE
department head and director of the Joint Institute
for Advanced Materials (JIAM). Pharr stepped
down as department head on August 1, 2011, to
take on full-time duties at JIAM, a joint UT-ORNL
institute for advanced materials multidisciplinary
research. Construction on the new JIAM building,
which is being built on the university’s Cherokee
Farm Campus, is expected to commence later in
2011.
Hines said his tenure as Interim Vice Chancellor
for Research has provided opportunities to
collaborate with ORNL, Y-12, EPRI and other
important partners.
“I have learned a great deal about their strategic
goals and see how to more effectively align with
them to grow our research enterprise,” Hines added.
“With limited state resources for near term growth
in terms of faculty and facilities, strengthening
these strategic partnerships enables us to work
Sickafus is a member of the advisory editorial board
of the Journal of Nuclear Materials.
Research areas for Sickafus include the behavior of
complex oxides in extreme radiation environments.
“The primary role of the JIAM Director is to
bring together UT and ORNL scientists in a
way that fosters advanced materials research in a
multidisciplinary way. We are fortunate to have a
large number of very capable materials researchers
in this area, largely because ORNL is the leading
DOE laboratory for advanced materials research.
At UT, we have many very capable faculty with
TENNESSEE ENGINEERsFall 2011 sWWWENGRUTKEDU
materials research expertise distributed through
several engineering departments and in physics
and chemistry,” Pharr said. “We are all waiting for
ground to be broken on the new JIAM Building,
which will be the flagship facility on the new
Cherokee Farm Campus. Plans for the building are
now complete and awaiting approval at the state
fire marshall’s office. Once that approval is in place,
the construction bidding process will begin and
take a couple of months. Hopefully, the building
should be ready for occupancy in mid-to-late 2013.”
Sickafus has high expectations about the potential
to interact with Pharr and other researchers in the
JIAM program.
“I look forward to working closely with George
and to helping position MSE to be a major player
in JIAM,” Sickafus commented. “I hope that MSE
faculty and students will take advantage of this
unique program, especially the new cutting-edge
facilities and equipment that will be located in the
building and will facilitate new interdisciplinary
research collaborations with the other departments
participating in JIAM.”
He is also excited about the opportunity to head up
the MSE department.
“The Los Alamos research experience that I had
involved working on fairly large research teams,”
Sickafus said. “I believe this background will help
me to lead large, ‘center-based’ research proposals.
My sense is that university faculty more typically
write small team research proposals. One of my
roles will be to help with the larger, crosscutting
proposals. I also hope to mentor successfully the
next generation of scientists and engineers and
encourage many of them to embark on careers
in disciplines such as materials science. I would
like to recruit many new undergraduate students
into the MSE department, and I want to foster
diversity in our MSE faculty and help make UT
a leading research institute in advanced energy
technologies.”
“I have known Kurt for a long time and am very
happy to see him come to UT after 20+ years of
research and scientific leadership at Los Alamos,”
Pharr said. “I have always felt that Kurt belonged
in academia based on the very instructive and
educational talks he gives at conferences. I expect
under his leadership the growth in research funding
in the MSE department will continue in the near
future, since there have been several important
recent additions to the faculty who are still coming
up to speed on their research programs.”
The MSE department is scheduled to move
to Ferris Hall in 2012 after the Department of
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
moves its laboratories, offices and classrooms from
their current location in that building to the new
Min H. Kao Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science Building in the fall of this year.

Nuclear Engineering
Faculty Member is
Chancellor’s Professor
COE Faculty Members Receive NSF CAREER Awards
Dr. Benjamin Blalock, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Dr. Benjamin Blalock, associate professor in
the Department of Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science (EECS) said it was the
“twinkle” in his father’s eye that contributed to his
passion for engineering.
Blalock’s father was a University of Tennessee
(UT) engineering professor, so he remembers the
stories his dad would share at the dinner table after
Blalock’s mother asked about his day at work.
“His enthusiasm was contagious,” Blalock said.
“His eyes would light up, and he would describe
his latest research progress or something significant
one of his students had recently achieved.”
His father’s excitement for engineering, coupled
with the enjoyment Blalock received as a teaching
assistant in the undergraduate electronics lab as
a senior electrical engineering student at UT,
opened his eyes to the possibility of becoming an
engineering professor.
Dr. Christopher Cherry
Dr. Wei He
Dr. Christopher Cherry, an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering (CEE), and Dr. Wei He, an assistant professor in both the Department of Materials
Science and Engineering (MSE) and the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Biomedical
Engineering (MABE), have received National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career
Development (CAREER) awards.
Cherry’s award, which he received for his project, “Sustainability Implications of Transportation
Choice in China,” is effective from April 1, 2011, until March 31, 2016.
Dr. Larry Townsend
In April 2011, Chancellor Jimmy Cheek
named Dr. Larry Townsend, Robert M.
Condra Professor in the Department of
Nuclear Engineering (NE), as one of the
five senior faculty members who make up
the new class of Chancellor’s Professors.
This is the university’s highest permanent
academic honor.
Townsend’s work in space radiation
protection and transport codes has been
used by NASA’s Cosmic Ray Telescope for
the Effects of Radiation (CRaTER) project
team, part of the Lunar Reconnaissance
Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft and by the
NASA Space Radiation Analysis Group,
which handles radiation exposure
monitoring for astronauts on manned space
missions. Townsend was a senior research
scientist and radiation expert at NASA
before coming to UT and recently has been
an expert source for the media on radiation
sickness symptoms in light of the nuclear
crisis in Japan.
He’s award, which she received for her project, “Immunologically Responsive Therapeutic Biomaterials
to Modulate Wound Healing in the Nervous Systems: An Integrated Research and Education Plan,” is
effective from Aug. 1, 2011, until July 31, 2016.
The CAREER award is one of the NSF’s most prestigious, supporting junior faculty who exemplify
the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of
education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations.
Dr. Veerle Keppens Elected ASA Fellow
Dr. Veerle Keppens, associate professor in
the Department of Materials Science and
Engineering (MSE), has been elected a Fellow
of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA)
“for the application of ultrasonics to condensed
matter physics.”
Keppens’ research focuses on using ultrasound
to understand fundamental properties of
materials. She has co-organized special sessions
at the ASA meetings and given lectures at the
Physical Acoustics Summer School (PASS) the
past few years.
Keppens will be featured in the Journal of the
Acoustical Society of America and honored at a
meeting in San Diego in November of this year.
The Chancellor’s Professors program began
in 2008 and provides honorees with a onetime research stipend of $20,000. For more
information on the program, please visit
http://chancellor.utk.edu/professors/.
The ASA is dedicated to increasing and
diffusing the knowledge of acoustics and its
practical applications.

Dr. Ben Blalock (left) works with students Matt Laurence (center) and Austin Womac (right) in his ICASL laboratory.
“This made me realize that I would truly enjoy
teaching electronics and working with students,”
Blalock said. “Ultimately it confirmed my decision
to pursue a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and a
career in academia.”
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Mars Science
Laboratory (MSL) Rover. This analog chip has
been flight qualified by the JPL. More than 200
copies of the chip are used throughout the MSL
Rover.
Blalock received his B.S. degree in electrical
engineering from UT in 1991, and his M.S. and
Ph.D. degrees, also in electrical engineering, from
the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1993 and
1996, respectively. He then joined the faculty
at Mississippi State University as an assistant
professor in electrical engineering.
“This long-range rover is due to be launched to
Mars in the near future,” Blalock said. “Developed
within the ICASL, the quad op amp microchip is
capable of enduring daily extreme temperatures
cycling from minus 140 degrees Celsius to 120
degrees Celsius for at least 500 days, which is the
MSL Rover’s mission life target.”
What attracted him to UT was its strong legacy in
analog electronics.
To meet this challenge, two of Blalock’s ICASL
research students, Stephen Terry and Robert
Greenwell, developed new analog design
techniques and strategies to ensure long-term
reliability within extreme environments.
“Coming to UT represented a unique challenge
to perpetuate that legacy,” Blalock said. “I was
attracted to the strengths of the EECS department,
both in teaching and research. You always want
to surround yourself with strong individuals, as
they will challenge you to keep growing. And
admittedly, as a UT undergraduate alumnus, I have
a soft spot for UT. I have always appreciated the
foundation my teachers at UT provided.”
Blalock is the director for the Integrated Circuits
and Systems Laboratory (ICASL), where much of
his research takes place.
“My research focus is primarily analog/mixed-signal
integrated circuit design for extreme environments
(both wide temperature and radiation) on CMOS,
SOI CMOS and SiGe BiCMOS technology
platforms; high-temperature/high-voltage gate
drive circuits for power electronics; multi-channel
monolithic instrumentation systems; mixed-signal/
mixed-voltage circuit design for systems-on-a-chip;
and analog circuit techniques for sub 100-nm
CMOS,” Blalock said.
One of the ICASL’s recent accomplishments is
its quad op amp microchip for the NASA and
In the classroom, Blalock says he hopes to instill
a strong understanding of fundamental concepts
and principles and sufficient self-confidence in
applying them toward problem solving.
“I hope my students will have the tools they need
to tackle new analytical challenges throughout
their careers,” Blalock said. “This is part of the
reason why my electronics colleagues and I believe
strongly in a project-oriented curriculum with
open labs for specification-driven hardware design,
development and testing, rather than curriculum
with cookbook recipe-style laboratory exercises.”
Blalock says working with students remains at the
top of his list when it comes to his job.
“I genuinely think it is fun to teach electronics
and enjoy an interactive classroom,” Blalock said.
“A colleague of mine once said, ‘I teach for free,
but they must pay me to grade.’ I wholeheartedly
agree with that statement.”
Blalock enjoys working with students through
research, too.
“For me, most of ‘academic freedom’ is the freedom
to pursue research you find exciting and/or
beneficial to the students on your research team,”
Blalock said. “I have been fortunate that most of
the research my team has conducted has provided
valuable experience for the students prior to
graduation. Research is an important aspect of the
educational process, both for students and faculty.”
The students and faculty will soon continue
that research in the new Min H. Kao Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science Building,
which is projected to be finished and turned
over to the university in September. The EECS
department is scheduled to migrate its offices and
labs into the building after the start of 2012.
“The new building will help us expand our
research efforts,” Blalock said. “And our teaching
efforts should benefit from the new classrooms.
The new building certainly represents an
unprecedented opportunity for our department and
college. My hope for the EECS department is that
we would fully capitalize on this new opportunity
toward providing a world-class program for our
students.”
Blalock has received many awards while at UT,
including his recent 2011 College of Engineering
Teaching Fellow Award. In 2009, he received
the Gonzales Family Award for Excellence in
Teaching, and in 2007, he received both the Moses
E. and Mayme Brooks Distinguished Professor
Award and the Chancellor’s Research and
Creative Achievement Award.
When he’s not in the lab or the classroom, Blalock
enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons.
As an assistant scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop
179, he recently completed a 10-night, 68-mile
backpacking trek at Philmont Scout Ranch in
northeastern New Mexico.

March 31 through
April 2, 2011. Forty-six robotic teams from 14 states were in attendance.
Dr. Dayakar Penumadu (fifth from right) and Dr. John Ma (third from left) celebrate with ASCE students from UT and Tongji University.
The University of Tennessee took home 1st place at the 2011 American
Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Southeast Student Conference
hosted by Tennessee Tech University on March 25-26. Approximately 50
undergraduate students from UT’s Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering (CEE) took part in 15 competitions and prepared for these
events most of the academic year. These competitions are designed to
explore student creative thinking in extending academic knowledge to
solving practical civil and environmental engineering problems.
“This is a significant accomplishment for our department and the College of
Engineering (COE),” said Dr. Dayakar Penumadu, CEE department head.
“We competed successfully and won against 26 participating universities
such as Florida, Vanderbilt, Auburn, etc. Many of our faculty and staff
were involved in helping the student groups on related competitions. They
provide an excellent opportunity to integrate classroom knowledge to
practical aspects of our profession.”
The event takes place every year, and the last time UT brought home
the first place overall trophy was in 2005. The UT conference chair was
Marianne Hutson, and the faculty advisor was Dr. John Ma.
Each year, UT invites Tongji University (Shanghai, China) to compete in
the competition. The university’s students flew into Knoxville and traveled
to Cookeville with UT students. Tongji University took home 3rd place at
the overall event. Drs. Baoshan Huang, Lee Han, Greg Reed and Ma were
instrumental in developing this international partnership with Tongji over
the past five years.

UT’s steel bridge team, led by Chris Haynes and Matt Hart, won 3rd place
overall, which qualified them to participate in the 2011 ASCE/AISC
National Student Steel Bridge Competition hosted by Texas A&M on May
20-21. The primary sponsor and co-sponsor of the event were the American
Institute of Steel Construction and ASCE, respectively.
The opportunity for as many team members as possible to make the trip in
order to represent the COE at a national competition was important to Ma.
With roughly a month between competitions, he began seeking sponsors
for the trip. The Knoxville branch of ASCE has been very supportive of
the student chapter over the years and decided to step in and help, which
resulted in lead sponsorship. Representatives from this branch agreed it was
a “natural response” to support its future members. In addition to ASCE
Knoxville, other co-sponsors included Professional Engineers, Inc., ASCE’s
Tennessee Section, the Middle Tennessee Section of the American Society
of Highway Engineers (ASHE), Britton Bridge, The Blalock Companies,
Chris Rhodes (BS/CE ’95, MS/CE ‘01) and Stephen Steele (BS/CE
’79). Their support collectively garnered $6,200 in necessary funding.
A total of seven students, as well as Larry Roberts (CEE design technician)
and Ma, were able to make the trip. UT placed 20th out of 48 schools,
placing higher than teams from many strong civil engineering programs
including Texas A&M, University of California, Berkeley, University of
Texas, Virginia Tech, University of Wisconsin and Penn State.

IIE Shares Summer Program with Tecnológico de Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico
The Department
of Industrial
and Information
Engineering (IIE) at
the University of Tennessee has helped companies
within the renovation process by applying the
right tools for the right processes and helping
them to develop a sustainable culture. Based
on that experience, IIE developed a program
created specifically for students from Tecnológico
6
de Monterrey, that focuses on the development
of comprehensive experience in the Lean
methodology and its applications. The concept
of Lean has emerged as a feasible solution to
transform organizations, gaining competitiveness
by the wise use of available resources.
Along with the coursework, students in the
program, which began May 30th with 20 students
on the UT campus from June 4th through July
1st, were able to apply the concepts in a real-life
situation, working on a project with the help of
the faculty and research staff at the department.
The experience offered an excellent instruction,
a hands-on practice project to ensure the learning
process, and a cultural-recreational experience
to let them have a taste of the American college
life for the participants. IIE hopes to expand
the program to other international academic
institutions in the future.
The FIRST Robotics Competition is a long-standing challenge to inspire
curiosity and create interest in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics among high school students. Each year, the teams receive a kit
of parts and have six weeks to design and build a robot based on the team’s
interpretation of the game scenario provided by FIRST. Besides dimension
and weight restrictions, the look and function of the robots are up to each
individual team.
This year’s game was “LOGO MOTION.” Two alliances of three teams
competed on a 27-by-54-foot field with poles while attempting to earn points
by hanging as many triangle, circle and square logo pieces as possible. Bonus
points were earned for each robot that could hang and assemble logo pieces
to form the FIRST logo. Robots also deployed mini-bots that climbed vertical
poles for a chance to earn additional points.
These student teams competed for honors and
recognition in design excellence, competitive
play, sportsmanship and outreach toward

LJ Robinson, the Tennessee FIRST Regional Director, was recently appointed
to this position to develop the supportive committees and infrastructure of
Tennessee’s annual Smoky Mountains Regional event, as well as to procure the
financial support for its fruition. Robinson handles team recruitment, mentor
training, networking sponsorship for team support and coordination of FIRST’s
programs.
FIRST was founded in 1989 by inventor Dean Kamen to inspire participation in
science and technology among young people. COE alumnus Bryan Haynes (BS/
AE ’85, MS/AE ’87, PhD/ME ’91), senior manager for research and engineering
at Kimberly-Clark Corporation, and his wife, Connie, the FIRST regional
director in Georgia, were instrumental in bringing the program to Knoxville.
Connie Haynes believes FIRST has an incredible impact on students.
“The FIRST program does two things for these students,” she said. “It reinforces
what they want to be, and it changes their minds on what they can be.”

The College of Engineering (COE) hosted its
annual High School Introduction to Engineering
Systems (HITES) program on July 24-29, 2011,
at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
The program, which was sponsored by Bechtel
Corporation, provides hands-on learning
experiences designed to motivate students who
have the interest and aptitude to consider careers
in engineering.
The rising 11th and 12th graders participated in
an introduction of engineering fundamentals,
application of math and science classes,
engineering departmental visits and were able to
collaborate on team projects. The program allows
students to learn about careers in engineering,
explore the UTK campus, tour engineering labs
and facilities, compete in engineering challenges
and have the opportunity to jumpstart their
academic careers.
“I am so pleased with this year’s Bechtel HITES
2011 class,” Griffin said. “The students were very
engaged, displayed great interest in the engineering
program at UTK and performed outstanding within
their engineering group projects. Because of the
generous support from Bechtel Corporation, we
were able to expand our staff by two counselors,
hire a math faculty member and expand our
invitation from 24 participants to 32 participants.”
The week of engineering activities concluded with
the Bechtel HITES Awards Reception, which
was moderated by Alexandria Butler, a senior in
biomedical engineering. Bechtel’s Senior Vice
President, John Howanitz, welcomed attendees and
shared that Bechtel is very proud to be associated
with UT. Dr. Wayne Davis, dean of the COE, gave
the opening remarks, which was followed by an
overview of the program from Griffin. A highlight

Governor’s Chair Professor Discusses
Lessons to be Learned from Nuclear Disaster
On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0
earthquake struck the northeastern coast of
Japan, followed by a roughly 10-meter tsunami
that inundated the coast. This immense
human disaster is the cause for approximately
25,000 people dead or missing.
The high water level of the tsunami
overtopped the seawall at the Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear power plant, compromising
Dr. Howard Hall
the emergency generators and wiping away
most of the civil infrastructure. The multiple loss of cooling incidents at the
nuclear reactors has caused an ongoing crisis.
Dr. Howard Hall, Governor’s Chair professor of Global Nuclear Security in
the Department of Nuclear Engineering (NE), addressed some of the issues
related to this natural disaster.
Hall said the earthquake and tsunami that caused such damage at Fukushima
Daiichi were examples of accidents that exceeded what he calls the “design
basis accident scenario” for the plant. He said when the disaster occurred, the
plant was in trouble because its emergency safety systems were either damaged
or destroyed.
But Hall mentioned that even with these facts on the ground, the reactor
containment largely worked despite facing earthquake and flooding well above
the expected level. According to Hall, the highly radioactive spent reactor
fuel, even though some has clearly melted, remained within the facility.
Because of this, Hall believes it is critically important the public not let fear –
or false confidence – drive response to the accident.
“I understand the public’s anxiety,” Hall said. “Nuclear issues and risk from
exposure are difficult to understand. It doesn’t help that media reports are
frequently sensationalized, and all parties seek to slant media coverage. We
need to have the discipline to develop objective assessments and use those as
our basis for policymaking.”
Since the natural disaster occurred, U.S. nuclear plant operations have
undergone a number of immediate safety reviews by the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission. The U.S. has also gone through two major natural
disasters itself – the southeastern tornados and the Midwest flooding that
threatened to flood the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant in Nebraska.

Paddison; and Dr. Mingjun Zhang. The awards were presented by Dr. Bill Dunne (far right).
“The official inquires into the Fukushima accident will be concluded soon, and
we will see if there is anything additional in them,” Hall said. “Some of the
issues are likely to be relevant to plants in the U.S., and we will take a hard
look at them.”
Most of Hall’s work focuses on controlling and safeguarding nuclear materials
and technology for prevention of nuclear incidents that develop into national
or international disasters.
“The approaches are different, but there are certainly areas of overlap,” Hall
said. “Many of these overlaps are at the interface of science, technology and
policy – and hence, our work with the Howard H. Baker Center for Public
Policy is a critical piece of the overall effort. We are looking at technological

solutions – better detectors, smarter algorithms, better integration with
emergency personnel and first responders, for example.”
So far, only Germany has declared it will exit the nuclear power business for
electricity production. Most other nations that are looking at expanding or
developing nuclear power programs are continuing on.
“If you care about carbon dioxide and the possible effects on global climate,
there’s really no other option for base load electricity than nuclear power,” Hall
said.
Back in March 2011, UT hosted a panel of nuclear experts to discuss the
accidents at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant. Hall moderated the event.
Most of the discussion was based around the questions of health effects of
radiation.
“We were very happy that we were able to bring the medical experts that could
answer those questions to the panel and let the public interact with them
directly,” Hall said. “As you would expect, there was also a lot of interest in
Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) nuclear power plants, and having a senior
executive from TVA on the panel was very helpful there.”
Hall’s current research includes an effort to better understand how to measure
the effectiveness of complex, regional/national level systems for nuclear
security, specifically around interdicting threats.
“This is complicated because the ‘metrics’ for those systems usually focus on
the easy-to-measure data – how many detectors we have, how many officers are
trained, etc.,” Hall said. “Those numbers are useful but limited in terms of their
meaningfulness. What we would really like to know is what level of security we
gain from one system as compared to another. That’s a lot harder to measure
because many of the factors that go into it are poorly understood or are closely
tied with human factors — motivation, intent, risk-tolerance, etc. Ultimately,
we want to achieve deterrence — convincing the bad actors, be they terrorists
or proliferators, that they don’t want to engage in nuclear mischief or that we
are too hard a target.”
He said the framework of this research should be applicable to assessing options
in setting up emergency management architectures as well.
Overall, Hall admits there is much to be learned from the Fukushima incident.
“I think the lessons of Fukushima clearly highlight that we need to focus on
plant safety and emergency response over a broad range of potential accident
scenarios and make sure we have really robust community, regional and
national response plans for dealing with disasters,” he said. “Had the plant
owner, TEPCO, been able to get an alternate source of backup power to their
cooling pumps in time, this accident would have been largely averted.”
Hall said the lessons learned from the incident will spread to the classroom as
well.
“I think we will definitely be studying this accident for a long time, and the
lessons learned from it will be in the curricula for the foreseeable future,” Hall
said. “Strengthening our curricula on accident scenarios, emergency planning
and redundancy of safety systems and their backups will be an outcome. As we
get into the dismantlement and failure analysis of the plants, we’ll learn even
more that will influence our teaching and research efforts.”

Douglass was born in Jackson, Tenn. in 1942 and
lived in the same house until he left to attend
UT Knoxville in 1960. Douglass had always been
interested in science, math and building new
things, so engineering was a natural fit. UT’s strong
Cooperative Engineering Scholarship Program
also provided a financial incentive for Douglass to
attend the institution, as it offered a way to pay for
his education.
“I had a very blessed period of my life during my
years at the university,” Douglass said. “I found
that I could do well in my classes and enjoyed the
learning experience. Making the UT experience
even more gratifying, I had an interesting and
useful co-op job in my home town, where I got to
see my future wife frequently. We were married
in the last quarter of my junior year and lived in
student housing for four years until I got my Ph.D.
We had our first child around that time and made
many good friends, so I remember it very fondly.”
Douglass was employed at EG&G Ortec (Ortec)
from 1968 until 1983, and he served as the
company’s president during his last three years of
service. In 1982, Douglass began working on the
development of a new company; and in 1983, he
began collaborating with former Ortec employees
Ron Nutt and Kelly Milam, along with Mike
Crabtree, who was still employed at Ortec. Ortec
was planning to sell off its medical diagnostic
imaging division, and the four decided to purchase
it to form their own company, that was to become
CTI Molecular Imaging (CTI). The development
of CTI was to have historic consequences for
improvements in medical diagnostic imaging.
“Ron Nutt asked me on July 5, 1983, ‘what are you
going to do with the rest of your life,’” Douglass
recalled. “And I said, ‘let me tell you an idea that
I have for a new business.’ We all put our heads
together and began team meetings on Saturday
mornings. My wife would cook a great Southern
breakfast to encourage us to get together, and Ron
came over to my house many late afternoons to
discuss the plans for what became CTI Molecular
Imaging (CTI).”
After much hard work and financial risk, the
fledging company took off and soon established
itself as a leader and strong competitor in the
development and commercialization of positron
emission tomography (PET) technology, including
the development of PET scanner and cyclotron
technology and PET radiopharmaceutical delivery.

College of Engineering Holds Spring 2011
Commencement
The College of Engineering Spring 2011 graduation ceremony took place
on Wednesday, May 11, with over 253 engineering graduates participating
in the ceremony. A group of approximately 2,300 parents, friends and
relatives attended the event, which took place in Thompson-Boling
Arena on the UT-Knoxville campus at 11:30 a.m.
Dr. Wayne Davis, dean of engineering, led the academic procession that
signaled the beginning of the ceremony. The procession included associate
deans, department heads and faculty representatives. Dr. Jimmy G. Cheek,
chancellor of the UT-Knoxville campus, also attended the ceremony.
Mr. Spruell Driver, a 1987 industrial engineering alumnus, was the
commencement speaker. Driver, a practicing attorney who received his
law degree in 1991 from Duke Law School, is a current member of the
UT Board of Trustees and was president of the UT National Alumni
Association from 2004-2005. He also served as National Chair of the
association’s Annual Giving Program in 2005-2006 and is a former
member of the College of Engineering’s Board of Advisors.
Driver told students to always strive to reach their goals, to stay close to
family and friends and to give back to their communities.
The college’s top student, David Christopher Flowers, a chemical
engineering major, was also recognized.
In addition to the commencement activities, the event also featured a
military ceremony, where Lt. Colonel Michael S. Angle, a professor of
aerospace studies at UT, officially commissioned four COE graduates into
the U.S. Air Force. The new second lieutenants are Joshua Coughenour,
Jonathan Crow, Timothy McLerran and Alexandra Pattenn.
A highlight of the event was when Jacob Okumu Oyier, a student from
Kenya, and Mark Edmund Tominey, a student from England, received
their degrees at the end of the ceremonies. The two civil engineering
majors had just been granted status as U.S. citizens in a ceremony that
took place at 8:00 a.m. in Greeneville, Tenn. and had to rush back to
Knoxville to get to their graduation event.
“The coincidence of the two events being on the same day was a very big
blessing to me,” Oyier said. “It was exciting.”
“It was a little nerve-wracking, but very exhilarating,” Tominey said. “My
parents had traveled all the way from England to see me graduate and my
wife and two sons were there too, so I was really happy it worked out so well.”

The foresight of University of Tennessee president Joseph Estabrook
established the courses that would lead to the College of Engineering at the
University of Tennessee. The individuals who include the college in their
estate plans through wills, bequests, charitable remainder trusts, life insurance
and gift annuities exhibit that same vision by providing resources that will
enhance engineering education at Tennessee far into the future. It is fitting to
recognize donors who, through their estate plans, provide for programs in the
college as members of the Estabrook Society.
#ORNERSTONE3OCIETY
We are grateful to the many donors whose endowments provide continuing
support for student scholarships, fellowships, faculty endowments,
professorships, chairs and other programs of excellence. These permanent
endowments provide an annual income stream that enables the college’s
leadership to strategically advance engineering education at the University of
Tennessee.
$EANS#IRCLE
The Dean’s Circle recognizes leadership-level annual giving of $1000 or more
to the College Fund for Engineering or parallel annual gift funds in each of
our seven departments. The benefit of these designated, but unrestricted,
funds is in their flexibility and immediacy.

When engineering became a part of the curriculum at the University of
Tennessee in 1838, the industrial revolution in the United States was just
starting. Innovation and ingenuity applied through engineering and driven by
engineering education helped transform this country into one of the greatest
economic powers in history. Cash gifts of $1 million or more to the College of
Engineering have that same potential to dramatically strengthen the power of
engineering education in Tennessee. In the 1838 Society we proudly recognize
the individuals and industrial partners whose cash gifts to the College of
Engineering total $1 million or more.

Engineer’s Day October 27th, 2011
Engineers Day has been a UT College of Engineering tradition
for nearly 100 years. Each October, undergraduate engineering
classes are dismissed for one day to allow university students
and faculty to spend time interacting with hundreds of potential
engineering students from high schools across the region.
Engineers Day features four competitions for visiting students.
Results for last year’s Quiz Bowl, Egg Drop Competition and
ASCE High School Balsa Wood Bridge Competition can be
found on the Competitions page.
If you would like more information on this event contact the
Engineering Student Affairs office at (865) 974-2454.
