Mixed-Signal Computer Aided Design Research Lab

UA MSCAD Laboratory Alumni

I am launching a scholarship campaign in honor of my past students to be funded by my past students. The group, 100-for-100, will fund scholarships for future electrical engineering students specifically in the MSCAD lab. I am asking each former student to donate $100/year to support the scholarship program (i.e., 100 people for $100).  (We will supply you with a tax-deductible notice.)  The money received will be pooled to sponsor/support graduate and undergraduate students of the MSCAD lab in power electronic packaging, power electronic circuit design, computer-aided design, device modeling, and integrated circuit design.  I plan to take this opportunity to memorialize two of our fallen graduate students: Dr. Mike Glover and Dr. Hung Phi Hoang. Their names will each be associated with one of the scholarships. Every dollar goes directly to the students. No overhead, no other purpose. Just to support students worthy of becoming MSCAD Alumni someday and joining your club!

Sincerely,
Dr. Alan Mantooth,
Distinguished Professor

Dr. Alan Mantooth greeted engineering faculty and students during a reception hosted at ECCE 2018.  Attendees included alumni from the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s.

New Circuit Designs Function at Temperatures Greater than 650 F

Engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have designed integrated circuits that can survive at temperatures greater than 350° C—or roughly 660° F. Their work, funded by the National Science Foundation, will improve the functioning of processors, drivers, controllers and other analog and digital circuits used in power electronics, automobiles and aerospace equipment—all of which must perform at high and often extreme temperatures.
