Congratulations~. FYI, from http://www.nspe.org/aboutnspe/ab1-what.asp What is a Professional Engineer? Like doctors who have passed the medical boards or lawyers who have passed the bar exam, professional engineers (PEs) have fulfilled the education and experience requirements and passed the rigorous exams that, under state licensure laws, permit them to offer engineering services directly to the public. PEs take legal responsibility for their engineering designs and are bound by a code of ethics to protect the public health and safety. Engineering licensure laws vary from state to state, but, in general, to become a PE an individual must be a graduate of an engineering program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, gain four years of experience working under a PE, and pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. A state engineering licensure board regulates the licensed practice of engineering within a state. The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), in conjunction with its state societies and chapters, represents the interests of PEs nationwide. Wow, Robert, did you take exams for P.E.?

Let me provide some more updates. We had 3 students pass the coursework evaluation portion of their qualifying exam! We demonstrated the first (that I know of) multi-hop MIMO-OFDM software defined radio prototype using <a title=\"Hydra Multi-hop MIMO Prototype\" href=\"http://hydra.ece.utexas.edu\" rel="nofollow">Hydra</a> at the beginning of December. I will (as of January 2008) become the Associate Director of the Wireless Networking and Communications Group. This was a slow semester due to my heavy teaching load. I forsee many great things to come in the spring semester. Steve, this is a really nice overview. Let me provide some more updates.
