Six Sigma Black BeltThu, Oct 28, 2010 @ 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Executive Education
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: TBA, TBA
Talk Title: Six Sigma Black Belt
Abstract: Learn the advanced problem-solving skills you need to implement the principles, practices and techniques of Six Sigma to maximize performance and cost reductions in your organization. During this three-week practitioner course, you will learn how to measure a process, analyze the results, develop process improvements and quantify the resulting savings. You will be required to complete a project demonstrating mastery of appropriate analytical methods and pass an examination to earn IIEâs Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate.This practitioner course for Six Sigma implementation provides extensive coverage of the Six Sigma process as well as intensive exposure to the key analytical tools associated with Six Sigma, including project management, team skills, cost analysis, FMEA, basic statistics, inferential statistics, sampling, goodness of fit testing, regression and correlation analysis, reliability, design of experiments, statistical process control, measurement systems analysis and simulation. Computer applications are emphasized.

Distinguished Lecture Series
Thu, Oct 28, 2010 @ 12:45 PM - 01:50 PM
Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Professor Jane P. Chang, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering University of California - Los Angeles
Talk Title: Synthesis and Integration of Multifunctional Oxide Materials
Abstract: The demand of engineering metal oxide thin films at an atomic level has grown immensely due to their versatile applications in numerous technologically advanced fields including microelectronics, optoelectronics, photonics, spintronics, energy storage devices and sensors. In this talk, I will discuss current research advances in atomic layer deposition for synthesizing multicomponent and multifunction metal oxides with tailored electronic, chemical, interfacial, thermal properties and microstructures. Specifically, I will highlight our most recent research on the engineering of oxide thin films and their patterning, for their applications in high speed electronics, optoelectronics and energy storage devices.
Biography: Dr. Jane P. Chang is a Professor and the William F. Seyer Chair in Materials Electrochemistry in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at UCLA. She is also the Associate Dean of Research and Physical Resources at the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at UCLA. She received her B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from National Taiwan University in 1993, and her M.S. and Ph. D. degrees, both in Chemical Engineering, from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1995 and 1998, respectively. She was a postdoctoral member of technical staff at Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies, from 1998 to 1999, prior to joining UCLA.
Her research focuses on the synthesis and chemical processing of novel and multifunctional materials, atomistic understanding of solid state interfaces, and their applications in microelectronics, optoelectronics, microsensors, and energy storage devices. Specifically, her research group studies the synthesis of metal oxide thin films and nanostructures with tailored electronic, chemical, and thermal properties by novel atomic layer controlled thermal, radical, and plasma enhanced deposition techniques and hydrothermal processing, develops highly selective plasma etching processes for patterning nano-metered thin films, designs and develops micro chemical sensors and engineers the multi-component oxide materials needed in various energy storage devices. In addition, her research group integrates the experimental and first-principle theoretical approaches to elucidate the fundamental physical and chemical origins of superior material and electronic properties.
She is the author of more than 80 journal publications, including a book and a book chapter, holds 4 U.S. patents, and has given more than 100 invited presentations at many international conferences, academic institutions, and industry throughout the world. She received the Faculty Career Development Award from the National Science Foundation in 2000, a Chancellorâs Career Development Award from UCLA in 2000, the Young Investigator Award from the Office of Navel Research in 2003, and the AVS Peter Mark Award in 2005. She also received the TRW Excellence in Teaching Award in 2002 and the Professor of the Year Award from the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department at UCLA in 2003, 2004, and 2009.

The American Political and Social Landscape through Visual Communication
Thu, Oct 28, 2010 @ 06:30 PM - 08:00 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
Admission is free. Reservations requested. To RSVP, go to annenberg.usc.edu/rsvp.
Visual communication plays a critical role in social change and has contributed to numerous social and political movements. Nina Berman and Jon Lowenstein, two photographers from Noor, the award-winning Amsterdam-based photojournalism collective, will present their work and discuss the power of communication through images. The program and discussion will be moderated by Larry Gross, director of the School of Communication at USC Annenberg.
Nina Berman will share work from her books Purple Hearts, an acclaimed series on wounded veterans from the Iraq War, and Homeland, which documents the militarization of American life and the fantasies we construct in pursuit of empire and security. Berman is the recipient of grants and awards in art and journalism from numerous organizations, including World Press Photo, the Open Society Institute and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She was an artist in residence at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and her work was included in the museumâs 2010 biennial.
Jon Lowenstein will show his award-winning work Shadow Lives USA, a ten-year journey documenting the world of undocumented Latino immigrants. His images present the daily reality of unauthorized existenceâdeportations, border crossings, fragmented familiesâin the context of increasing political concern over the integrity of Americaâs borders. Lowenstein was recently named the Joseph Patterson Albright Fellow by the Alicia Patterson Foundation and garnered a Getty Award for Editorial Images.
Organized by the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism.
