What: The SBIR Road Tour is a national outreach effort to convey the non-dilutive technology funding opportunity provided through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. The SBIR/STTR programs annually provide $2.5 billion in funding to small advanced technology firms to spur new technological discoveries and facilitate the commercialization of innovations. Together they represent America's Largest Seed Fund.

Local innovation supporters in communities who have historically underutilized the opportunities provided through the SBIR/STTR programs have invited representatives of America's Largest Seed Fund to engage the small advanced technology community, including women and minority-owned research and development businesses. Every SBIR Road Tour stop represents a coveted opportunity to meet directly with Federal and State Program Managers who seed a wide spectrum of innovative ideas, while learning about your state sponsored innovation support infrastructure.

BS-MS Program Deadline Extension

We have extended the deadline for nominations to our BS-MS combined bachelor and master's degree students to August 15, 2015.

The BS-MS combined degree program provides early acceptance into our highly competitive MSEE program for those students with an orientation towards academic research that wish to take their education to the next level.  The BS-MS selection process is different than our standard graduate admission pathway: 
  • Interested students must solicit two nominations from UWEE faculty, one of whom will agree to serve as their research advisor.
  • Interested students must demonstrate a cumulative gpa above 3.7 for consideration, be a current UWEE student (Seattle campus only) and have completed through their third year of undergraduate study or 135 quarter credits.
More information about the program, including links to submit nomination packets can be found online, here: http://www.ee.washington.edu/admissions/bs-ms/index.html

Please let us know what questions you may have;  Bryan Crockett and Stephanie Swanson can assist you.

EE 501 - Radar Remote Sensing

I would like to invite you to take EE501 -- Radar Remote Sensing, this Autumn (SLN 22471).  It will be taught Tuesday and Thursday 2:30--4:20.

In the class we'll take a statistical signal processing tour of radar, including the radar equation (link budget), radar waveform designs for pulse compression, as well as some basic estimation and detection theory.   We'll work with real and synthetic data sets from active and passive radars.  We'll also introduce radar imaging through aperture synthesis an interferometry.

Prerequisite material: basic statistics (EE505), signal processing (EE442), and electromagnetics (EE361) are helpful.   Advanced undergrads are welcome to consult with me about taking this course.

Have a great summer, see you next Autumn,

John Sahr
