 Greetings from the SIUE
School of Engineering.
Why SIUE? That was the question I heard most when I first became the dean of the School of Engineering. The warm welcome I received from the faculty, staff, students and administrators made me feel like I would be valued by the SIUE community.
While I still enjoy watching our students work on their homework and projects from the third floor cat-walk, it is very gratifying to dwell on what we have accomplished and the positive things that have been set in motion over the years, despite the many challenges we face. These accomplishments include:
-
Developing an engineering community with members from area high schools, community colleges, and engineering, manufacturing, information technology, and construction companies, added to our alumni, faculty, staff and advisory boards.
-
Seeing our enrollment numbers rise to the point that required the building of our annex to accommodate the growing number of students.
-
Reporting the prestigious teaching and scholar awards won by School of Engineering faculty.
-
Watching our dedicated faculty and staff lead our summer camp students to develop and expand their minds to new discoveries.
-
Watching our students step up to a challenge and provide solutions for communities in need and win collegiate competitions.
-
Seeing evidence that our newly graduated students are finding great jobs.
-
Hearing the parent of a potential student tell other families - "If your son or daughter wants to go into engineering, send them to SIUE".
The challenges are not over and there are still achievements to be completed. Together, as an engineering community, we will go far.
Sincerely,
Hasan Sevim, Dean

School of Engineering Celebrates 9th Annual Awards Banquet |
|
On February 26, approximately 300 students, faculty, staff, alumni and industry friends gathered to celebrate the academic excellence, service and leadership of its most outstanding engineering community members.
Included in the program was Kip Polley who spoke about the development of his company Pale Night Productions (PNP). PNP was founded in 2005, shortly before Kip graduated with his bachelor's in manufacturing engineering. Polley and his team pioneered the concept of video integrated animatronics (VIA).
VIA technology combines high definition video content with traditional elements of animatronics giving participants the performance of a live actor, with the interactivity and 3-dimensionality that they would not get from a video. Pale Night Productions is located in St. Louis and produces turn-key attractions for domestic and international clients.
