As a student-centered research university it is particularly
gratifying to report on the academic successes of our students
and their full integration into the research enterprise. Our
students have been competing very successfully at national
and international levels, once again taking honors for their
academic and entrepreneurial achievements. This includes

It’s an ambitious goal. To deliver on
this vision, we rely on the energy,
ingenuity and knowledge of our
faculty and students. They’re working
to ensure that our data-hungry
society gets what it demands: the
information we live by, delivered as
safe, as accurate, as fast, as cheap, and as
accessible as possible.

computing cycles while ensuring information reliability and security poses a major
challenge being addressed by researchers. At the same time, continued calls for
sustainable energy use dictate the need for careful design and management of large data
centers and new strategies to support service-oriented architectures. Along with these
computing trends, the growing use of multimedia data presents the need for new data
structures, application programming interfaces and encoding rules.

the personal computer as a learning tool, the software that has been developed for educational purposes does not offer any real
interaction between the student and the material they are trying to learn – the connections are only virtual.

The general idea is that the more cores a computer has, the faster its programs will
run.
The way technology advances now, it seems as though the world is soon on its way
to having computers with hundreds of cores – many-core processors. Any normal
consumer might assume this is fantastic – computer programs running at lightning

been very effective in breaking down the programs, so humans have to do this work instead.

Avnet, one of the largest distributors of electronic components,

job market in information technology industries.
Winners were selected by a panel of judges that included
