This is the kind of thing that'll probably get mentioned in
The Trident, Tri Delta's magazine, but it can't hurt to let GCers know about it now. From a U. of Wyoming press release:
UW Student Receives Top National Engineering Award
Sept. 25, 2007 -- University of Wyoming electrical engineering student Julie Sandberg of Albin received the Scholar of the Year award from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC).
. . .The award includes a $10,000 scholarship for the 2007-2008 academic year . . . .
Sandberg is involved in many UW College of Engineering and Applied Science activities and on campus. She is an active member of Tau Beta Pi, involved in the Delta Delta Delta sorority and the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers student chapter.
. . .
After her UW sophomore year, Sandberg conducted research at the University of Central Florida’s College of Optics and Photonics where she designed and built a working laser wave front sensor.
. . .
This summer she worked in the robotics group at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., where she helped develop the electronics system for a Martian tunneling rover prototype. Sandberg says she is interested in space exploration and hopes to work for NASA to develop technology similar to what she is doing at UW. After her last semester on campus this fall, she plans to attend graduate school in electrical engineering. . . .
