Inner Circle

Thank you for joining us to recognize the 2,259 Fall 2023 graduates of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering! We are proud of all your achievements and can’t wait to see the difference you make in the world as engineers and technologists!

One tip for dealing with a bad week is to be committed to learning from your mistakes. Once you see both your assignment successes, and failures, as opportunities to improve your personal learning system, it’s a game changer. At the end of each week, think about the study habits that worked well for you and those that didn’t.

While pursuing a doctoral degree in engineering takes years of discipline, research and learning, those who remain dedicated and graduate gain a variety of opportunities. After making new discoveries through research and learning under a doctoral degree mentor, new graduates then need to decide what direction to take their career.

One such option for those interested in a career in academia is conducting research and working at a university through a tenure-track position. Teaching the next generation of engineers while making new discoveries through one of these jobs is exactly what Anwarul Sifat did.

Following instructions does not mean letting go of your creativity, but it does mean that every exam, assignment, or class/job project has a set of parameters or regulations that must be followed.

The students you meet at the Fulton Forge Student Research Expo are the same as those who participated in the FURI Symposium in past semesters. They have conducted independent research under the guidance of a faculty mentor and present the findings of their work with the community at a semiannual poster session open to the public. These projects are inspired by real-world problems in need of innovative solutions.

Katie Holm identified an urgent need for mental health support among her peers. She sought out the best mental health resources she could find, corresponding with professionals to hone the content she would share on her website: We Mean to Help. 

When you treat yourself and others as a professional, and you aim high with your expectations about completing your work with academic honesty, you feel better about yourself and provide an important contribution to the Fulton Schools learning community.

Arizona State University and Applied Materials Inc. today announced an alliance, aided by the Arizona Commerce Authority, that brings more than $270 million to create a world-class shared research, development and prototyping facility — the Materials-to-Fab (MTF) Center — in the university’s MacroTechnology Works building at ASU Research Park.

The Secure, Trusted and Assured Microelectronics, or STAM, Center hosted their second annual Summer Outreach workshop June 5–8 to introduce high school students to microelectronics, electronics and robotics programming. The four-day workshop welcomed 17 high school students, ranging from first-year students to seniors, from schools across Greater Phoenix including Desert Vista High School, BASIS Goodyear,…

Dharneedar Ravichandran, a systems engineering doctoral student in the School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, is making significant strides in additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, research in the Advanced Materials Advance Manufacturing Laboratory led by Associate Professor Kenan Song.   “My research…
