COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCES “The Department of Electrical

Engineering's strength and continuing

growth cannot be attributed to one

single factor. I hope that this document

helped you understand some of the

many components that are at work. The

faculty, the staff, and last, but not least, the students, have all

helped build the program to what it is today and, more importantly,

are what will drive it to further success in the future. We must

also not forget the major role played by others in collaboration

with the department, both within the university and in the

engineering community, here in Arizona, the U.S., and internationally.

I look forward to continued growth and recognition of the

department both at home and abroad.

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

The last academic year saw unprecedentedgrowth in the size of the Electrical EngineeringDepartment. Since Fall 2000, we have hired ninenew faculty members, including those starting inFall 2001, bringing the total number of FTEfaculty to 45. We are happy to welcome RodolfoDiaz, Sayfe Kiaei, Martin Reisslein, CihanTepedelenlioglu, and Junshan Zhang intelecommunications, Bruce Kim and YoungjoongJoo in mixed-signal design, Nongjian Tao in thearea of nano-molecular electronics, and RajaAyyanar in power electronics. You can find moredetails about these outstanding new hires insidethis year’s Annual Report.

With the infusion of new faculty in criticaltechnology areas such as wirelesscommunications and mixed-signal design, wehave made a concerted effort at modernizing andenhancing our educational programs in theseand other areas. New courses related to topicssuch as transceiver design, mixed-signal test,and A/D converters have been introduced, andmany more are planned. The enrollment in theArizona Tri-University Master of EngineeringProgram has grown, and the first graduates areexpected in 2001-2002. We have seen acontinuous evolution of our undergraduatecurriculum aided by the ABET EC2000 process.As a result, the senior design experience hasbeen expanded from a one-semester to a one-year program while, at the same time, theengineering freshman program has been greatlyoverhauled in a more flexible form for students.Enrollment itself is holding steady in theundergraduate program whereas the graduateprogram has experienced a large growth instudents.

“ “With the infusion of new faculty in critical technology

areas such as wireless communications and mixed-signal

design, we have made a concerted effort at modernizing

and enhancing our educational programs.

Research funding reached a recordhigh this year with fiscal yearexpenditures in excess of $6.7 million.Much of this growth has beenattributable to new faculty hired overthe past few years, many of whomhave been recipients of NSF Careerand other notable awards. We foreseecontinued growth with new initiatives inthe telecommunications andinformation technologies related towireless circuits and embeddedsystems in partnership with ourindustrial partners. Other growth hasoccurred through collaborative effortsacross disciplines in areas such asbioengineering and chemistry.

Finally, our relations with industry bothlocally and nationally have continuedto grow despite the downturn in theeconomy. New partnerships wereforged with Tektronix, IBM, andRaytheon, and consortia have beenformed relative to mixed-signal/communication circuits and embeddedsystems. Scholarship endowmentshave been established by severalcompanies to attract National MeritScholars to our program, which hasbuilt on the large increase in NationalMerit students at ASU over the pastseveral years through the BarrettHonors College. We look forward tocontinued partnerships with industrythis year, particularly as we prepare forour upcoming academic programreview in 2002 and ABET accreditationvisit in 2003.

PSERC is a National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center that isaddressing challenges in the new electric powerindustry as it restructures to a competitive businessenvironment. Finding innovative and efficientsolutions to those challenges requires anunprecedented level of expertise, communication,and cooperation between the university andindustry. Through collaboration, PSERC

■ seeks innovative solutions to challenges increating a power system with decentralized,market-based decision-making

■ stimulates productive interchange of ideasamong university and industry professionals

■ leverages research funding from universities andindustrial members

■ facilitates access to highly experienced facultyand superior quality students

■ prepares current and future professionals for thenew power industry.

PSERC academic researchers at multiple universitiesacross the U.S. specialize in power systems, appliedmathematics, nonlinear systems, power electronics,control theory, computing, operations research,economics, industrial organization, and public policy.They provide research services and products that addvalue to industry and that support efficient andeffective provision of electricity services while meetingenvironmental requirements.

PSERC ResearchIndustry restructuring and technology change iscreating new challenges for the operations, securityand reliability of the power system, for the physicaland institutional structures, and for delivery ofeconomical and environmentally acceptableelectricity services. PSERC’s research program focusis on helping the next generation electric powersystem evolve into a competitive, high-performancecomponent of the nation’s infrastructure. Its researchprogram is divided into three research stems.

Research Stem 1: MarketsThe electric power industry is in transition toward amarket-oriented structure with decentralizeddecision-making by a wide-ranging group of marketparticipants. The research under this stememphasizes the design and analysis of marketmechanisms, computational tools and institutions thatfacilitate efficient coordination, investment, andoperations while recognizing the economic andtechnical characteristics of power systems.

Research Stem 2: Transmission andDistributionThe power delivery infrastructure is critical toachieving efficiency, safety, security and reliability inelectricity supply. Improvements in this infrastructurecould be achieved through innovations in software,hardware, materials, sensors, communications, andoperating strategies. Therefore, a central goal of thisresearch stem is the improvement of transmissionand distribution systems through the application oftechnological advances.

Research Stem 3: SystemsRestructuring is leading to large and complexoperational entities (such as Independent SystemOperators or Regional Transmission Organizations)while small-scale, dispersed generation technologiesare increasing their penetration in power systems.The challenge is to develop new operationsframeworks and approaches that will effectively copewith the growing complexity of a restructuredindustry. Systems research concentrates onoperation of such complex, dynamic systems ingeneral and power systems in particular.

Leveraged Research Projects Industrial members’ support is leveraged into otherresearch initiatives, such as: ■ Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCES “The Department of Electrical

Engineering's strength and continuing

growth cannot be attributed to one

single factor. I hope that this document

helped you understand some of the

many components that are at work. The

faculty, the staff, and last, but not least, the students, have all

helped build the program to what it is today and, more importantly,

are what will drive it to further success in the future. We must

also not forget the major role played by others in collaboration

with the department, both within the university and in the

engineering community, here in Arizona, the U.S., and internationally.

I look forward to continued growth and recognition of the

department both at home and abroad.

Peter E. CrouchDean, College of Engineering and Applied Sciences
