UF Presidents MessageFebruary 13, 2013Dear Students, Faculty, Sta and Special Guests:I am delighted to welcome you to Engineers Week 2013 at

the University ofFlorida. The events of this celebraon throwa mely spotlight on the importanceof engineering and theopportunies available to students who pursue the eld as acareer.Much has been wrien about the scarcity of jobs for collegegraduates. While the economic downturn did not leaveengineering unscathed, opportunies for new hires in thiseld have remained extensive. As the economy rebounds,

the joboutlook is parcularly strong for engineers just beginning their careers.The UF College of Engineering is ranked in the top 20 naonally, with several speciales in the top ten. Our graduates are especially sought aer by industry. Forexample, the college is the third-largest source among all universies of newhires forIntel and ExxonMobil.If the job prospects in engineering are strong, so is the opportunity to make a dierence. As this weeks Engineering and Science Fair, Building Challenge and Robocs Showcase make clear, engineers are at the center of developing soluons tothe most pressing global challenges of our me from climate change to clean water,from energy to food security.I applaud our students for planning and coordinang all the events of this week. I encourage everyone to take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn moreaboutengineering and its promises for our students, our graduates and our world.

Sincerely,J. Bernard Machen

Associate Deans MessageOn behalf of the Gator Engineering family, I welcome you to

2013 UF E-Week. I wish to thank all of our generous sponsors

that have made the series of acvies planned possible.

The 2013 UF E-Week tag line of Whats Your Potenal? and

the logo of the apple tree and a Gator about to be hit on the

head by an apple take us back to the well-known story of Sir

Isaac Newton and his discovery of gravitaon. It turns out

that the story we learned in grade schoolthe one that sits

Sir Newton under an apple tree only to be awoken from hiscontemplaon of the mysterious universe by an apple

strikeis parally true. Here is an excerpt from one of his

biographies wrien by William Stukely in 1752 in which Sir

Newton describes his discovery:

"Aer dinner, the weather being warm, we went into the garden and drank thea,

under the shade of some apple trees...he told me, he was just in the same situaon, as

when formerly, the noon of gravitaon came into his mind. It was occasion'd by the

fall of an apple, as he sat in contemplave mood. Why should that apple alwaysdescend perpendicularly to the ground, thought he to himself..."

Even if an apple hing his head did not inspire Sir Newtons discovery, he sll needed

inspiraon drawn from outside of his laboratory and away from his studies in order to

be hit with the discovery that was all along buried somewhere inside of him!

Your potenal as an engineer is similarly already present inside of you, much like the

fuel that waits to burned in order to transform its embodied potenal energy into

mechanical energy, or acon! Events like those oered in our 2013 UF E-Week and

throughout the year by our enriching Gator Engineering programs and student

organizaons (including our naonal award winning NSBE, SASE, SHPE, SWE, and Tau

Beta Pi chapters) will provide you the opportunity to, like Sir Newton, take it outside

and interact posively and professionally with your peers, with faculty and sta, with

our very generous corporate sponsors, and many other supporve partners of the

College of Engineering.

These interacons will ulmately lead you to lighng the fuel inside of you and

discovering your potenal, or vocaon (voice), in engineering. Hit with this

awareness, you will then be ready to turn your potenal into transformave acon in

this world as you truly live out our Gator Engineering Aributes of Creavity,

Leadership, Integrity, Professional Excellence, and Service to the Global Community!

Enjoy this week of celebrang our profession of Engineering!

Sincerely,

Dr. Angela Lindner

BEC Presidents MessageDear Students, Faculty, and Friends,

I am excited to welcome you all to Engineers Week 2013!

Every year, Benton Engineering Council strives to extend the

tradion of Naonal Engineers Week, whose purpose is to

emphasize the importance of engineering as a discipline and

honor the contribuons that engineers make to society. The

goal of Engineers Week at UF is to celebrate our

accomplishments, promote personal growth, and reach out

to the next generaon of aspiring engineers.

This years E-Week theme focuses on something every

student at the University of Florida has - untapped potenal. Whats Your Potenal?

is the queson we are asking each parcipant to reect upon during these upcoming

events. Gator Engineering has taught us all about the process of transforming energy

from potenal to kinec, and our aim with E -Week 2013 is to bring out this

transformaon within ourselves.

Since the rst Engineers Week in 1951, student leaders have harnessed the

potenal of this annual tradion to create a lasng impact on the campus as a whole.

This signicant undertaking would not be possible without the dedicaon of all who

contributed to making this years E-Week the largest to date. I am incredibly grateful

to those who have spent these past months ensuring that every person at the

University of Florida will be given the opportunity to showcase their engineering pride

at E-Week 2013.

On behalf of the E-Week commiee, partnering organizaons, and all who helped

bring this vision to life, I invite you to enjoy and make the most of the events,opportunies, and fesvies that we have planned. They demonstrate that truly it is

great to be a Florida Gator Engineer!

Go Gators!

Engineers Week Directors MessageOn behalf of the 2013 Engineers Week planning

commiee and the Benton Engineering Council, I would liketo welcome you to E-Week 2013! Engineers Week began in

1951 as a naonal celebraon of engineering

accomplishments. This year, the University of Florida iscelebrang its 68th annual Engineering and Science Fair

which has been integrated to be our largest event during E-

Week. This huge showcase is designed to educate children of

all ages about engineering. Using displays and interacve

booths, visitors can see the rich diversity of the discipline and

the huge impact it has on our world. Engineers Week 2013 isthemed Whats Your Potenal? to remind us all to push ourselves and strive to help

accomplish this impact to our fullest capabilies.Being a Gator Engineer has been an extremely rewarding experience. I have been

challenged and movated both in and out of the classroom. I have learned lessons ofintegrity, communicaon, leadership, and compassion. There is an excellence that we

as engineers must strive for in our professional and personal lives. We must look for

inspiraon all around us and remember to work with passion.

Throughout the week of events, you will nd themes of outreach, development,professionalism, diversity, and camaraderie. These simple words dene the goals of E-

Week. We will be connuing the tradion of the E-Week Cup, which will be earned by

the student organizaon demonstrang the strongest commitment and Gator spirit. Itis our hope that this healthy compeon will inspire student organizaons to

parcipate more and more in E-Week and push their members to be the best they can

be.I would like to extend my thanks to everyone involved in making this event a reality,

especially the planning commiee and parcipang sociees. If they didnt see thepotenal in our mission, E-Week would not be more than an idea. It is with their

leadership and dedicaon that E-Week can meet its full potenal to bring together

faculty, professionals, and students of all ages under the context of celebrang theimportance of engineering in our world.

Finally, I would like to thank all who helped to support E-Week, including the faculty

and each of our industry sponsors. It is with your help and guidance that we can grow

E-Week each and every year into an occasion of extraordinary magnitude.It is my hope that you will join us this week in exploring everything Engineers Week

has to oer. I hope you can take away not only a deeper understanding of engineering,but also lessons in personal and professional excellence as we strive to reach our full

potenal. Now let me ask you, Whats Your Potenal?Sincerely,Kelly HalliseyExecuve Director, Engineers Week 2013

HARRIS CORPORATION

Harris is an internaonal communicaons and informaon technology companyserving government and commercial markets in more than 125 countries.Headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, the company has approximately $5.5 billion ofannual revenue and about 15,000 employees including 6,000 engineers andsciensts. Harris is dedicated to developing best-in-class assured communicaonsproducts, systems, and services.

Revoluonizing Early Communicaons

The company connued to grow and evolve, and in 1957, Harris-Seybold mergedwith Intertype Corporaon, a world leader in typeseng equipment. Company leaderswanted to move beyond printed communicaons into the broader eld of electroniccommunicaons. Thus began a series of moves that transioned Harris -Intertype intothe Space Age and added broadcasng and microwave communicaons capabilies.

The company's transformaon to a pure electronics business began in 1967, when itacquired Radiaon Inc., a manufacturer of space and military technology located inMelbourne, Florida, just south of Cape Canaveral.

Radiaon was a premier developer of miniaturized electronic tracking and pulsecode technologies for America's edgling space program. Its products were used on thenaon's rst communicaon and weather satellites, by the military for various missilesystems, and were instrumental in the rst manned space ights and the Apollomissions to the Moon.

In 1974, the company name was changed to Harris Corporaon, and itsheadquarters moved from Cleveland, Ohio, to Melbourne. In the 20 years thatfollowed, Harris sold its prinng business and signicantly expanded its electronicproduct oerings and market reach. By the me of its centennial celebraon in 1995,

Harris had emerged as a global company serving a broad base of communicaons andinformaon technology markets.

Transforming Crical Communicaons and Informaon Technology Today

During its 117-year history, Harris has transformed communicaons and informaontechnology - from the early prinng press, to the Space Age, and to today's fast -paceddigital age. Since its beginnings, it has focused on providing innovave, reliablesoluons that deliver crical informaon at the right place, at the right me, and onthe right device.

Today, Harris is one of the only companies focused exclusively on developing themost trusted voice, data and video networks - networks that touch millions of livesevery day. Harris soluons are taking network reliability and security to an enrely newlevel and are solving the toughest technology challenges faced by businesses andgovernments around the world.

Every day, the company's employees serve customers around the world, inmarkets where trusted network soluons are crical to success - defense,naonal intelligence, civilian and internaonal government, public safety andpublic service, energy, and marime, broadcast and new media, healthcare,and enterprise.
