Silicon Valley Engineering Council (SVEC) Engineering Education awards 2012

Hi all,

We’re gearing up for the Engineers Week in February 2012 and are looking for qualified students to apply for the $1000 student awards we’ll be giving out. Please send this around all the educators, engineering clubs and students you know. We need some applicants right away! Students who are undergraduate level as well as high school seniors should apply. Also please take a look at the attachements to see the weighting of scholarship application.

IEEE Santa Clara Valley(SCV) Section and its chapters are funding approximately 50% of the SVEC scholarships offered.

The Silicon Valley Engineering Council (SVEC) Engineering Education awards recognize young engineering and technology students for their dedication, focus, and commitment to engineering. Engineering and Technology students graduating from high school or currently enrolled in undergraduate community college or university programs are eligible to apply. Fulltime and part-time students are eligible. Students may receive an SVEC Scholarship award only once. Graduate students are not eligible.

While not all of these must be met by a successful applicant, it would be of advantage to the applicant if he/she can qualify most of the following criterion.

1) The applicant should be studying in bay area. The nine counties included in bay area are Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma.

4) The applicant has shown involvement in community and/or social services activities

The reference letters need to be signed on the letter as well as on the sealed envelope by the faculty member. Please include these 2 sealed envelopes along with rest of your application in one bigger envelope.

6) The student exhibits strong academic performance as shown by GPA in the major and overall, as well as strong recommendations from faculty advisors

7) A brief essay describing the student’s academic and professional goals is submitted for evaluation

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I had a great first semester in Senate, and I’m super happy it’s break because I’m just going to hibernate like a legit bear.

Below are the bills that I (co-)authored this semester (bills co-authored by the entire Senate are not listed). I believe that each senator had different focuses in office, and, for me, I focused much more on working with various student groups and helping them receive funding (whether it was through the Senate or outside sources). Next semester, I plan on focusing more on Engineers Week and projects.
