For Speakers:
Unless agreed upon otherwise, the seminar should be (30 minutes presentation, 15 minutes for Q& A, and the remaining time for face to face contact and refreshments).
The room should be equipped with computer with power point installed and a computer projector. The speaker is strongly advised to test his presentation in advance.
Please keep the level of the presentation reasonable. It is fair to assume a background of a BS in Electrical Engineering.
If the presentation has been presented in a technical conference or Journal, please modify to suit the audience (Professors and Graduate students from EE and possibly other departments)
Please provide a written short biography to be introduced to the audience at the beginning of the seminar.
Information
For Registered Students:
For Students Officially
Registered for Electrical Engineering Graduate Seminars
EE599
- The first thing
to do is to send an e-mail to the coordinator (Dr. Abdelmalek
Zidouri)
with all your contact information.
- You must arrive
at the seminar room before the starting time. Please do not arrive late. Please
be courteous to our speakers.
- Attendance: students are expected to
meet the course attendance objectives. While this is a zero credit course,
grades of NP (No Grade Pass) or F (Fail) are awarded. Attendance is
recorded each seminar.
- If you wish to
contribute to the seminars you may contact Dr. Abdelmalek
Zidouri.
- Seminars can
provide excellent opportunity to expose you to possible thesis
problems.
- Should you have
any questions regarding this course, the professor in charge is Dr. Abdelmalek
Zidouri.
Guidelines for attendance of our EE seminars for EE599 and EE699 :
- Course Graded on a Pass or Fail basis: NP or F.
- (NP stands for No grade Pass and F for fail.)
- To pass the course you need to attend at least 60% (or 8 meetings) of Seminars organized by EE Department (or co-organized with others Depts.). 2 meetings max can be accounted for from other Events such as IEEE activities. 1 of the 2 meetings can be from a local or international conference with prior permission from the seminar coordinator.
- In general we deliver about 13 seminars per semester so attending 8 meetings is considered enough to pass the course for any semester that we present 13 or more seminars. If in a given semester we present less than 13, then we adopt the 60 % rule. For example, for 10 seminars: 6 meetings attended will ensure a passing grade.
- EE seminars are usually offered on Tuesdays at 1 or 2:00 pm. starting from the second week of the semester.
- The coordinator
is responsible for the students officially registered under EE599. He should
follow their attendance and assigned them a NP "No
Grade Pass" or F "Fail" letter grade at the end of the
semester.
- Decide and
reserve the room to be used for the seminar. The usual time allocated by the
department is 1:00-2:00PM. During this time no other classes are
offered.
- Make proper
arrangement with the Department secretaries to request refreshments for the
seminar.
- Prepare and
send the announcement for the seminar a head of time (subject, speaker,
abstract, time, location)
- Contact
speakers from the academia and the industry and provide a variety of topics
related to the department interest. Special occasions like conferences and short
courses might attract speakers who can be invited to give seminars within the
department.
- Make sure the
seminar runs smoothly with good interaction.
- Provide help
and support to the speaker if needed.
- Update the
seminar webpage and promote the attendance and utilization.
- Coordination
for local/international speakers invitations
