The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Kentucky is hiring four tenure-track faculty positions for the 2019-2020 academic year. Focus areas include Robotics, Autonomous Systems, Bio-electrical, and Sustainable Manufacturing. The new positions are part of the UK College of Engineering's initiative to hire 20 new faculty members in the coming year. 

Quite the ambitious freshman, Willis declared pre-med as his major. Fast forward three semesters — his grades were satisfactory, but his passion was lacking. What now? Willis spent countless hours weighing the pros and cons of switching majors.

Evan Jones , a UK engineering student was recently awarded the renewal of his annual IEEE scholarship from the Power & Energy Society Plus Initiative, a signature program of the IEEE Foundation. Evan’s IEEE scholarship was initially granted in 2017. This year, he is one of only 30 students in the entire Southeastern IEEE Region selected to receive such an award. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is headquartered in New York City and is the world’s largest association of technical professionals with more than 400,000 members.

Grant Cox, a native of Campbellsville, Kentucky, and senior computer engineering major spent his summer interning at the NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) in Hampton, Virginia, which happens to be the oldest of NASA’s field centers. Read more below about Grant’s experience with NASA.
