Spring 2026 EE Colloquia
EE500, the Electrical Engineering Colloquia will be held from 1:25 – 2:35 p.m. every Friday (except during Spring Break) in Hammond Building Room 220 beginning on January 16.
Following each colloquium, students enrolled in EE500 must complete a questionnaire. A template for the questionnaire will be posted on Canvas for you to download and use. You have one week after each seminar to complete and submit the questionnaire. In order to pass and receive credit for EE500, enrolled students should attend all colloquia and submit at least 11 questionnaires. Approval of absence due to university-related activity or health reasons should be requested ASAP prior to the colloquium.
Important to note: One of the colloquia is the so-called SARI required colloquium that all EE students must attend to fulfill the SARI requirement for EE degree completion. Contact Lisa Timko at 814-863-7294 or lmg183@psu.edu for more information on the SARI requirement for degree completion.
For all matters related to EE500 course, please contact Prof. I. C. Khoo at ick1@psu.edu and consult the information on EE500 given in Canvas.
