Electrical Engineering Professor Qian Receives Teaching Award

Professor Chunjiang Qian of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is among the initial recipients of the prestigious Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award from The University of Texas System.

To be honored with this award, Qian underwent a rigorous campus-level review. Once identified as one of UTSA’s most qualified candidates for this award by UTSA President Ricardo Romo, Qian and his fellow nominees were evaluted by an external review committee.

Only a select number of faculty members from across The University of Texas System were chosen.

Congratulations, Dr. Qian, on this esteemed accomplishment.

IEEE Robotics Team Places 2nd in Regionals The UTSA IEEE Robotics Team traveled to Kansas City, Missouri to compete in the IEEE Region 5 competition where teams were charged with designing an autonomous robot capable of following lines, detecting weight and color, and placing bins of differing weights in different locations based on color. After competing against some of the top engineering universities in the nation, such as The University of Texas at Austin, Air Force Academy, and the University of Missouri at Kansas City, through four rounds, UTSA IEEE became one of only two teams to finish the entire course correctly. The second place finish is one of the highest finishes in the history of UTSA’s participation in the competition. IEEE Student Chapter Chair, John Collins and Robotics Chair, Philip So agree that, “the experience was amazing, and it was a great learning experience for everyone.” Congratulations to the 2008 IEEE Robotics team: Kevin Messenhimer, John Collins, Philip So, Jose Gamboa, Richard Mackie, Chris Brucks, Tyler Schmidt, and Daniel Seller.
