Progressive Degree Program Info Session
Wed, Feb 04, 2009 @ 05:00 PM - 06:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Affairs
Workshops & Infosessions
Thinking about graduate school? Did you know that Juniors and new Transfer students may be eligible to apply early and start graduate work during the Senior year? The Progressive Degree Program combines a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree and allows students to complete both degrees in fewer units than doing them separately. But, you have to apply as a Junior or in the second semester for most Transfer students! This information session will cover how the program works, the eligibility requirements and the application procedures.

Presentation on careers in patent law and the Patent Bar Exam
Tue, Feb 17, 2009 @ 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Career Connections
Workshops & Infosessions
If you have (or will soon have) a degree in engineering, computer sciences, or the hard sciences (chemistry, biology, physics and related disciplines), you can take the Patent Bar Exam to become a Patent Agent. Patent agents usually make about $10,000 a year more than similarly situated engineers and scientists. The Exam is available virtually on-demand via computer. Becoming a patent agent can also be a step toward the even more lucrative career of becoming a Patent Attorney. If this sounds intriguing, come join Practising Law Institute (PLI) for a presentation by Mark Dighton, PLI's Director of Law School Relations and a Director of their Patent Bar Review Course. Topics for discussion include: Careers for patent agents (what the work is like and where you find it), and
The latest info on the Patent Bar Exam (who can take it, how it works, and recommendations on how to study for this very difficult Exam). Please visit us on the Web for a wealth of information on the resources we offer:

Internet Explorer 8 Insider Event: Building Software for Millions!
Tue, Feb 24, 2009 @ 06:30 PM - 08:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Career Connections
Workshops & Infosessions
What's it like to build software that is used by hundreds of millions of people around the world? How do you decide what code to write? How do you apply software engineering principles to build such a product? How do you design software used by people all around the world, in all walks of life? These are the questions faced by our team as we build software like Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Live, and Internet Explorer. This talk will be a fast paced, and fun look at developing software for so many people—you can think about it as "what's it like to order pizza for millions of people." Dean Hachamovitch is the general manager of Internet Explorer at Microsoft. The team is responsible for building Internet Explorer 8, which is faster, easier, and safer than ever. Dean is a graduate of Harvard University and has held positions working on Microsoft Office, Microsoft Games, in addition to Internet Explorer.Come hear what everyone has been talking about and receive free food, and a chance to win an XBOX 360!!!

Viterbi Keynote Lecture
Thu, Feb 26, 2009 @ 03:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Workshops & Infosessions
RECEPTION: 3:00 - 4:00PMLECTURE: 4:00 - 5:00PM"CODES AND COIN FLIPS: COMPRESSION AND MODELING"SPEAKER: Dr. Robert M. Gray, Stanford UniversityABSTRACT: In the middle of the last century, Claude Shannon developed mathematical models of communication systems and quantified the best possible performance achievable when information sources --- models of real-world signals such as speech, audio, images, and video --- are communicated or stored. Shannon's work lies at the core of modern digital communications, both theory and practice. Many of the fundamental ideas in Shannon information theory --- including random processes, entropy, and coding --- have parallel roles in ergodic theory, a branch of mathematics which arose in physics and which was also profoundly influenced by Shannon's work. A few of these parallel ideas are sketched in hindsight via the deceptively simple example of coding coin flips to generate suprisingly general statistical models of information sources. The example highlights deep connections between the Shannon theory of source coding or data compression and the problem of simple modeling or simulating complicated processes. Unsuprisingly, the Viterbi algorithm makes a cameo appearance at a critical point.BIO: Robert M. Gray is the Lucent Technologies Professor of Engineering and Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, where he has been teaching for almost 40 years. His research interests are in information theory and signal processing, especially in the theory and practice of quantization, compression, and classification.Gray was a member of the Board of Governors of the IEEE Information Theory Group (1974-1980, 1985-1988) and of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (1998-2001). He was Associate Editor for Source Coding (1977-1980) and Editor-in-Chief (1980-1983) of the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of Foundations and Trends in Signal Processing. He was Co-Chair of the 1993 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory and Program Co-Chair of the 1997 and 2004 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing.He is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the IEEE and has held fellowships from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science at the University of Osaka (1981), the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation at the University of Paris XI (1982), and NATO/Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche at the University of Naples (1990). During spring 1995 he was a Vinton Hayes Visiting Scholar at the Division of Applied Sciences of Harvard University. He is a Faculty Affiliate of the Clayman Institute for Gender Studies at Stanford University, where he will be a Faculty Research Fellow during the 2008-2009 academic year.He was corecipient of the 1976 IEEE Information Theory Group Paper Award and the 1983 IEEE ASSP Senior Award. He was awarded an IEEE Centennial medal (1984) and an IEEE Third Millennium Medal (2000). He received the 1993 Society Award, the 1998 Technical Achievement Award, and the 2005 Meritorious Service Award from the IEEE Signal Processing Society. He received a Golden Jubilee Award for Technological Innovation (1998) and the 2008 Shannon Award from the IEEE Information Theory Society. He received the 2008 IEEE Jack S. Kilby Signal Processing Medal. He received a 2002 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM) and the 2003 Distinguished Alumni in Academia Award from the University of Southern California. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering (2007).Robert M. Gray was born in San Diego, Calif., on November 1, 1943. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from M.I.T. in 1966 and the Ph.D. degree from U.S.C. in 1969, all in Electrical Engineering.
