CME Library Dedication to Dr. Robert Bryant

On November 11, 2009, the CME department dedicated its library to Dr. Robert H. Bryant. Dr. Bryant, a great teacher, an honorable and respected professor in the discipline of structural engineering, and a great attribute to the CME department, joined the Department in 1963 and retired in 1999.

After his retirement, Dr. Bryant continued to contribute to the Department in many ways by teaching key structural related courses, established linkage with the industry through the formation of the Civil Engineering Professional Advisory Council (CEPAC), and shared his academic and professional experiences with the student and faculty. The library was dedicated to honor Professor Bryant's devotion to the CME Department and the students. Those in attendance included Professor Bryant and his spouse, Ellen, daughters, Mary Ellen and Anita, son, Robert G., son in law, John, engineering faculty, staff, and students.

$30,000 NSF-IGERT PhD Fellowships Available for Transportation Students at UIC

Prospective transportation engineering students are invited to apply for $30,000 interdisciplinary doctoral fellowships in computational transportation science (CTS) at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Visit http://cts.cs.uic.edu for complete program details and application information.

As a National Science Foundation-funded Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT), CTS engages students and faculty from multiple disciplines in collaborative research to solve a broad range of transportation problems. By taking advantage of ubiquitous computing and focusing on the information aspects of transportation, CTS researchers can make an impact on day-to-day transportation. Students interested in topics such as intelligent transportation systems, public transportation, non-motorized transportation and alternative forms of transportation, regional planning, transportation systems analysis, urban travel forecasting, privacy and information security, and socioeconomic and institutional issues will find interesting applications of their work to CTS.

FELLOWSHIP BENEFITS

- $30,000 annual stipend for 2 years (additional support provided beyond 2 years through students' home departments)
- Tuition and fee waivers
- Interdisciplinary curriculum and advising
- International research experiences and internships
- Industrial and agency internships
- Support for research and travel

TO APPLY

We are currently accepting applications for fellowships commencing in Fall 2009. We accept applications on a rolling basis, but you are encouraged to send us your materials as soon as possible. Detailed application instructions are available here: http://cts.cs.uic.edu/apply.php. US citizenship or permanent residency is required.
