UHM College of Engineering UpdateDean Peter Crouch thanks all our alumni

and friends for continuing to support the col-lege. We could not provide our engineeringstudents with a well-rounded education withoutyour contributions, both dollars and time.Proceeds from the annual banquet support thestudents, both current as well as prospective.A major use of the funds is for student projectswhere the students write proposals with theirfaculty and peers. Seed funds for supplies areprovided and the students have the opportuni-ty to pursue national student competitions,conferences and join College research pro-grams. Banquet funds also support STEM (sci-ence, technology, engineering and mathemat-ics) events for K-12 students, exciting themabout the prospect of majoring in STEM sub-jects in college. The student projects areshowcased each year at the banquet which willbe held next year on Thursday, April 21 at theHawaii Convention Center.

The largest number of undergraduates inover 25 years received their BS degrees inacademic year 2014-2015. 230 studentsearned their civil, electrical or mechanicalengineering BS degrees. The last time theCollege was at this level was in academic year1987-1988 when 253 students earned theirdegrees.

The University of Hawaiii at Manoa has beennamed a member of the Vertically IntegratedProjects (VIP) Program Consortium. The con-sortium, a group of institutions led by GeorgiaTech, has been awarded a $5 million grantfrom The Leona M. and Harry B. HelmsleyCharitable Trust to drive systemic reform ofSTEM education. The VIP Program unites verti-cally integrated teams of undergraduates fromsophomores to seniors with graduate studentsand faculty to work together on long-termdesign project. The teams are large (10 to 20undergraduates each semester), the projectsare long-term, and are usually based on anexternally funded research topics.Undergraduates in VIP teams earn academiccredit for their participation The UH ManoaVIP Program will begin with three projects: (1)Microrobotics, advised by Associate ProfessorAaron Ohta who is the VIP Program Director;(2) Space and Aerial Robotics, advised byProfessor Wayne Shiroma, and (3) RapidPrototyping, advised by Associate ProfessorDavid Garmire (http://www.eng.hawaii.edu).

Startup 101, a course taught by RobertNakata, employs Design Thinking to teach stu-dents the ins and outs of launching a startup,including doing market assessments, securingfunding and protecting their intellectual proper-ty. Nakata describes the course as a bridge

between an invention and commercial product.Currently working on his PhD in electrical engi-neering at UH Manoa, he has nearly threedecades of experience as a startup and publiccompany executive. With BS and MS degreesin electrical engineering and computer sciencefrom MIT, Nakata also earned an MBA from theWharton School of Business. He said thebiggest challenge facing startups is the mar-ket, not the technology.

Our student entrepreneurs have been suc-cessful in their endeavors. This past year, theteam of Monica Umeda (master’s degree stu-dent, Electrical Engineering) and NewtonParks (doctoral student, School ofArchitecture) won first place in the UHBusiness Plan Competition. Their prize pack-age included $10,000 in cash and $18.500 inaccounting, legal and marketing services.Umeda and Parks are co-founders ofAkabotics, a company that designs intelligentrobots for cleaning waterways in an environ-mentally friendly and cost effective way. Inaddition, the team of Robert Nakata (doctoralstudent, Electrical Engineering) and RittzReyes (undergraduate, Civil andEnvironmental Engineering) placed third in thesame competition. They were awarded $2,500in cash and $4,500 in accounting, legal andmarketing services. Umeda and Parks com-peted on the mainland at several other venuesand were successful in winning additionalprizes.

Annie and UH alumnus Fred Chan havepledged $250,000 to assist fulltime undergrad-uate students transferring from any Universityof Hawai‘i Community College into the Collegeof Engineering at UH Manoa. Chan earned hisBS in Electrical Engineering from the College ofEngineering, and his MS in Information andComputer Sciences from the Colleges of Artsand Sciences and attributes the education hereceived at UH for much of his success. Thisnew gift builds on the Chans’ philanthropiclegacy at the College. In 2001 the Chans creat-ed The Fred and Annie Chan EndowedScholarship Fund for Electrical Engineering tosupport students with an interest in pursuingcareers in electrical engineering. Chan hasenjoyed a successful career founded on inno-vation. In 1984 Fred Chan and Forrest Mozerfounded  ESS Technology  Incorporated, a pri-vate manufacturer of computer multimediaproducts based in Fremont, California. Todaythe company holds a leading market shareposition in the digital video and audio market(http://www.eng.hawaii.edu).

FabLab, a newly established UH maker-space, is located on the 4th floor of Holmes

Hall. David Garmire, Associate Professor ofElectrical Engineering, is the Lab’s director.Students can create prototypes and do cutting-edge research in a collaborative work environ-ment. In the FabLab, students can design andthen fabricate prototypes by using equipmentfor constructing and testing electronic circuits,3D printing complex objects, and laser cuttingand engraving microscale devices, which aresome of the capabilities of the FabLab.Projects fabricated include wireless prototyp-ing boards, anti-theft devices, RF detectors,wireless moisture sensors, autonomous roadsafety devices, solar panel cleaning robots,interactive lighting systems and high accuracythermal regulators.

Upcoming EventsTwice a year the College hosts a Career Fair

for engineering and computer science stu-dents. Employers from Hawaii and the main-land recruit students for positions within theircompanies or summer internships. Pleasecontact Myhraliza Aala, phone 956-0776, emailmaala@hawaii.edu, if you are interested in set-ting up a booth at Career Fair. The fall fair willbe held on Wednesday, October 21, 2015, atCampus Center Ballroom.

Come to the 8th Annual Holmescoming cele-bration on Friday, November 20, 2015 andenjoy entertainment, ono food and laughterwith your classmates. The celebration starts at5:00 p.m. on the front lawn of Holmes Hall.Check the College’s website—www.eng.hawaii.edu—for details on how to getyour tickets.

And mark your calendars for the 16th AnnualCollege of Engineering Dinner. It will be onThursday, April 21, 2016 at the HawaiiConvention Center. Our focus will be on ourstudents and their innovative ideas.

Faculty NewsMagdy Iskander, Director of the Hawaii

Center for Advanced Communications andProfessor of Electrical Engineering, won aNational Science Foundation grant to study aninnovative solution that could bring broadbandwireless service to remote and rural areas in the Hawaiian Islands. According to theFederal Communications Commission’s 2015Broadband Progress Report, about 55 millionAmericans (17% of the population) lack accessto advanced broadband (i.e. 25 megabits persecond for downloads and 3 MBPS foruploads), including 53% (22 million people) ofrural Americans. The solution is based onimproving the efficiency of radio spectrum uti-lization using smart networking with high-per-

Iskander said that “new networkaccess protocols need to be developed so thatthese advances may be achieved withoutaffecting available communications standardsand systems.” The grant will support threeyears of research and development, includingtesting in rural areas of Hawaii.

The City and County of Honolulu is workingwith the Civil and Environmental EngineeringDepartment and the Hawaii Asphalt PavingIndustry (HAPI) to try to extend the life ofHawaii’s roads. Associate Professor A.Ricardo Archilla received a research grantfrom the National Center for PavementPreservation at Michigan State University tostudy the effectiveness of different pavementpreservation treatments. These include slurryseal, seal coat, fog seal, and crack sealing,looking at their durability in a tropical climatelike Hawaii. Over a two-year period, Archillawill monitor and observe test patches of thesetreatments, applied in the Pearl City area byHAPI members, to see if any of these productsactually extend pavement life. The City willthen use the results to see if the treatments arecost effective.

According to the UH system website, the“Regents’ Medal for Excellence in Teaching isawarded by the Board of Regents as tribute tofaculty members who exhibit an extraordinarylevel of subject mastery and scholarship,teaching effectiveness and creativity and per-sonal values that benefit students. The boardalso awards the Regents’ Medal for Excellencein Research.” Associate Professor Aaron Ohtawas awarded an Excellence in Teachingmedal. Ohta, an associate professor in theElectrical Engineering Department, carries oneof the highest teaching loads in the departmentfor the required undergraduate coursesequence. One of his teaching goals is toshape students into critical thinkers and life-long learners. Another is to enhance the stu-dent’s educational experience using innovativeapproaches. One such method includes usingpre-recorded lectures that the students viewprior to class and then spend class time tosolve problems and participate in discussion.Outstandingly, Ohta also received a Regents’Medal for Excellence in Research in 2012.

Associate Professor Yi Zuo, MechanicalEngineering Department, has developed anew, high-throughput method for sorting cellscapable of separating 10 billion bacterial cells

UHCOE, from page 1

in 30 minutes. The finding has already provenuseful for studying bacterial cells and microal-gae, and could one day have direct applica-tions for biomedical research and environmen-tal science—basically any field in which a largequantity of microbial samples need to beprocessed. Almost all of today’s previouslyexisting cell-sorting methods rely on what iscalled a single-cell analysis platform. Thesemethods sort cells by running each individualcell through a kind of gateway that nabs out theones that embody a single, defined physicalproperty. Such methods can be designed tosort cells by size or identify cells that display atargeted feature, such as a fluorescent dye thathas been added. Zuo’s method is different. Itis a bulk method that sorts different cell popu-lations by turning to their solubility. The newmethod relies on a measurement principle thatsorts cells by differentiating their characteristic

HILITES OF JULY 22 EXECUTIVE COMMIT-TEE MEETING

Meeting was held in the Hawaiian ElectricCompany Ward Avenue cafeteria starting at5:30 PM with Chairman Derek Sato presiding.The following were discussed:• Secretary Victor Russell is looking for a

speaker for the September 16, 2015 GeneralMembership meeting.

• We are waiting for details for our possibletour of the Hawaii Air National Guard State-of-the-Art F-22 Facility. The Lockheed MartinF-22 Raptor is known as the World’sDeadliest Jet Fighter Plane. It replaced the F-15s. Other possible tours include PearlHarbor nuclear sub and Solar Impulse 2 air-plane at Kalaeloa Airport. Contacts need tobe established.

• Dr. Zac Trimble showed samples from theAbrasive-Waterjet Technology for machiningmost materials from macro to micro scales.The seminar by Peter H.T. Liu, SeniorScientist of OMAX Corporation, Kent,Washington, was scheduled for August 4,2015 at the UHM.

• 3D printers and possible future presentationson this topic.

• Derek Sato spoke briefly of what it takes tomanage and comply with a U.S. Departmentof Transportation’s Pipeline and HazardousMaterials Safety Administration (PHMSA)national regulatory program to assure thesafe transportation of natural gas, petroleum,and other hazardous materials by pipeline.

ASME HAWAII SECTION HISTORYA question for the older Engineer, “Do you

remember the Ginaca Machine?” Back in 1993James Grogan got ASME to designate theGinaca Machine as the 37th InternationalHistoric Mechanical Engineering Landmark,

and it is currently designated the 167th HistoricMechanical Engineering Landmark. As of2015, 258 landmarks are designated by ASME.

The ASME History and Heritage Programbegan in 1971 to acknowledge mechanicalengineering achievements of particular signifi-cance. A landmark represents progressivestep in the evolution of mechanical engineer-ing. The program illuminates our technologyheritage and serves to encourage the preser-vation of the physical remains of historicallyimportant works. It provides an annotated ros-ter for engineers, students, educators, histori-ans, and travelers, and helps establish persis-tent reminders of where we have been andwhere we are going along the divergent pathsof discovery.

I remember the ceremony at The DoleCannery in 1993 since I was Vice Chairman atthe time and participated along with JamesGrogan and John Yamamoto, our Chairman.Grogan was part of the Ginaca HistoricalLandmark Planning Committee along with DolePackaged Foods Company officials. TheGinaca machines were still in use at the can-

nery primarily as a tourist attraction, and cere-mony participants viewed the machines inaction.

With the final closing of the cannery, thebronze plaque commemorating the “GinacaPineapple Processing Machine 1911” lost itshome. There were discussions of finding aplace for the plaque at the Dole Plantation out-side of Wahiawa Town. We’ll check with JamesGrogan to confirm its location.

This Historic Mechanical EngineeringLandmark designation was an outstandingaccomplishment for James Grogan and ASMEHawaii Section. We want to be sure the bronzeplaque has a suitable home partially as areminder to us older engineers who were ableto work at the pineapple cannery during sum-mers of the job opportunities provided by thepineapple industry and about how much hard-er we had to work.

Asan expert on transportation engineering,Papacostas served in many professionalcapacities, including a Director for the Instituteof Transportation Engineers, Director of theReal Time Traffic Surveillance Laboratory, andDirector of the Hawai’i Local TechnicalAssistance Program (LTAP). He becamedepartment chair in 2010, serving in thatcapacity until his retirement in 2014. TheCollege’s condolences are extended to hisfamily.
