Dear ECEDHA Members, Industry Partners, and Colleagues,
It is beautiful in most parts of the country this time of year. This is also the perfect time of year to examine fresh ways to grow the student pipeline (the input), and ways to enhance student success. This issue of the Source covers both these topics.
Perhaps the most salient lesson that we learned at the ECEDHA workshop on the Strategic Shaping of ECE, with a focus on Vision, Branding, and Advocacy, was the widespread realization that our discipline is hiding in plain sight of what is appropriately our most important constituency - future ECE students.

Combating Climate Change: Can it also help the ECE Renaissance?
We have an excellent opportunity to capitalize on the above realities (see page), not only to combat cimate change but also to increase the pipeline of talented high school students opting for power/energy as well as other related fields within ECE. At the University of Minnesota, we have developed the material for a freshman-level course "Energy, Environment and Society" that we will pilot in high schools in Fall 2017 through our College in the Schools (CIS) program, a dual-credit/concurrent enrollment program.

EXPERIENCE ENGINEERING: How Hands-on Courses Prepare ECE Students for Better Jobs and Internships
The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department at the University of California, San Diego has a strong reputation for theory and a rich diversity of research areas to explore. Even before I became chair of the department two years ago, it was abundantly clear that our 1,800 students were at a disadvantage applying for internships with industry, even after junior year. They found it hard to get picked, not because they were not smart and well-educated, but because they did not offer employers the right skill mix.

Why Rate of Discovery Matters
By Dave Wilson, Vice President of Academic Marketing, National Instruments
In our innovation-driven world, researchers are discovering what no one knows, and students are discovering what they don't know. Our complex world requires complex solutions in less time than ever. See why your rate of discovery matters and how virtual instrumentation gives you the advantage of data visibility.
