    Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations

    Student Activity


    It's here again! The moment that you have been waiting an entire year for has once again arrived! I think you know what I'm talking about. This is the day when you make YOUR PROFESSOR wear a PUMPKIN COSTUME to class all day!

    Members of Eta Kappa Nu (the EE and CECS Honor Society) will be stationed in the E-Quad today as well as Monday and Tuesday of next week. We will have jars labeled with professors' names, in which you will be able to make donations according to who you would like to see in the pumpkin costume. The professor with the most money donated in his name at the end of Tuesday will be the "winner", and will have the honor of wearing the costume to his classes on Thursday, the 28th.

    This year, the competitors are:
    Professor Redekopp (defending champion)
    Professor Nazarian
    Professor Hashemi
    Professor Burke
    Professor Bickers

    All proceeds benefit MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement), an organization dedicated to increasing the interest and enrollment in Engineering classes among K-12 age students. You can learn more about USC MESA at http://viterbi.usc.edu/students/undergrad/ced/precollege/mesa/

    Hope to see everybody there!

  • IEEE Academic Spotlight - The Origin of CDMA Communications with Dr. Scholtz

    Thu, Oct 21, 2010 @ 06:00 PM - 07:00 PM

    Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations

    Student Activity


    The history of CDMA communications is intimately connected with many interesting characters: a science fiction writer, a movie star, a congressional chaplain, and a composer of music for massed player pianos, not to mention USC faculty and alumnae. Find out about documents undiscovered for over a quarter century, patents under secrecy order, a telephone directory that facilitated the development of an early spread-spectrum communication system, an eighty ton secure communication system used during World War II, and more, time permitting. This talk is about the BIG picture and peoples’ imaginations -- NO EQUATIONS!


    If you want to learn more about Dr. Scholtz's work before the Academic spotlight, feel free to read his biography here, As a co-author of multiple books and the recipient of numerous awards, Dr. Scholtz is one of the most esteemed faculty members at USC. Don't miss this great opportunity! (And did we mention that there is FREE FOOD???)
