Fall 2025 EE Colloquia

For Enrolled Students:

There will be 13 colloquia including 1 SARI colloquium. All colloquia will be held at 1:25 p.m. on Friday in Health and Human Development Room 254, beginning August 29 and ending December 5.  

Following each colloquium, students enrolled in EE500 must complete a questionnaire. A template for the questionnaire will be posted in Canvas for you to download and use. You have one week after each seminar to complete and submit the questionnaire. 

To pass and receive credit for EE500, you 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 before the colloquium.     

Important to note: One of the colloquia is the so-called SARI required colloquium [date TBD] 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 guidelines given in Canvas.

About

The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science was created in the spring of 2015 to allow greater access to courses offered by both departments for undergraduate and graduate students in exciting collaborative research fields.

We offer B.S. degrees in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering and data science and graduate degrees (master's degrees and Ph.D.'s) in electrical engineering and computer science and engineering. EECS focuses on the convergence of technologies and disciplines to meet today’s industrial demands.
