Were there ghosts in your code one time? Electrical issues you just couldn’t figure out? A haunted 3D printer? Cursed lab equipment? A project that just made you scream? Tell us about a time you had an engineering project go horribly wrong — and how you fixed it or what you learned — for a Fulton Schools Halloween feature.

Engineer up some spooky decorations for the 8th Annual Fulton Schools Halloween Decorating Contest!
Arizona State University Assistant Professor Yezhou Yang (left) leads the ASU AI commentator team — Siyu Zhou (center) and Chia-Yu Hsu (right) — to victory at the KAIST World Cup 2018.
This summer, Arizona State University organized an interdisciplinary team for the AI commentator track of Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) World Cup 2018, a worldwide competition of online soccer teams simulated by AI. AI commentators give play-by-play commentary and short-term predictions on AI soccer matches.
Assistant Professor Yezhou Yang in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering led the team comprised of Chia-Yu Hsu, a master’s student in computer science, and Siyu Zhou, a doctoral student in physics. Hsu and Zhou spent a summer working in Yang’s ASU Active Perception Group’s vision and language Special Interest sub-Group (SIG). Yang’s group focuses on cognitive robotics, computer vision and robot vision to program intelligent agents. The group seeks solutions to visual learning that involve deep learning and AI algorithms to enable agents to interpret peoples’ actions and a scene’s geometry.
The team programmed rules for the commentator agent based on a human’s observation of the playfield. Basically, a human commentator can look at the current states of motion of the players while being aware of those in the past. As such, the team submitted a learning-based model that enables the agent to interpret the current situation of a robot soccer game similar to a human commentator by observing past actions regarding the soccer ball’s location and speed.
It took about two weeks to write the comment-generating scripts, and another week to enrich the comments and rules.
Hsu and Zhou won the AI commentator competition and received a $5,000 prize for the quality of their play-by-play commentaries and short-term predictions of two soccer matches designated by an evaluation committee.
We provide free professional portraits to all Fulton Schools students and staff. These photos can be used for LinkedIn profiles, FURI student abstracts, news stories, student organization directories or the ASU iSearch directory.
Take advantage of open hours to update your professional portraits — no appointment necessary. Wear business attire; neutral colors are best — avoid stripes or patterns. Black and other dark colors are fine.
Please bring your Sun Card or have your ASU ID number ready.

Fall Fulton Schools Career Fairs are coming up fast! Note the applicable times and days for you to attend based on your Fulton Schools Undergraduate or Graduate (master’s/doctoral) major.
The Fulton Ambassador Application is now live!
Fulton Ambassadors is a paraprofessional organization made of high-caliber students in the Fulton Schools who love to spread their passion for and knowledge of the Fulton Schools.
At the Fulton Schools, you have many opportunities to get involved outside of the classroom. Meet new friends, conduct research, find your inner entrepreneur, help your peers, introduce new generations to the joys of engineering and, above all, have fun! Here are six of ways to customize your experience.
Being a Fulton Schools student doesn’t mean “all work and no play.” Our traditional ceremonial symbol is the lightsaber, so you know we try not to take things too seriously! We hope that in addition to all of your studying, you will take some time to have fun. First-year students already experienced E2, our traditional welcome weekend extravaganza. And hopefully, you know that we wear gold on Fridays. Here are a few of our other traditions you shouldn’t miss out on.
Help us enhance the undergraduate student experience in the Fulton Schools of Engineering by completing this five-minute survey.
Upon completion of the survey, you will be entered in a drawing for one of 40 $25 gift certificates!
Your responses will help us identify enhancements to the FSE student experience to prepare students for success in their chosen profession.
Take the survey now!
