Kansas engineers win ethics award
Kansas electrical engineers brought home awards this past weekend from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Region 5 Annual Conference held in Tulsa, Okla. against more than 20 other university teams.
Jalashree Mehta, a junior from Mumbai, and Luke Ezell, a junior from Leavenworth, in electrical engineering, took first place in the Student Ethics event. Mehta and Ezell were presented a hypothetical ethics case, in which they presented an ethical solution. Their proposal was given the top prize by a panel of judges, and earned them a $500 prize.
POLITICS
Brady Maasen and Meghna Eluganti, seniors in electrical engineering, took fourth place in the Circuit Design competition. Maasen and Eluganti designed a circuit that worked in theory, but had issues in practice. However, the design kept them in the top tier of the competition.
"I am extremely happy that both our teams have done so well at the conference, and hope this generates more interest among EECS students to get involved with KU IEEE," said Mehta.

Obama, who was born in Hawaii and hails from Illinois, made his comment about the at-home feeling of Iowa to hundreds of people crammed into an overflow room before his speech. It was a reminder of the political overtones of his stop in this competitive state, where his early 2008 caucus victory catapulted a campaign that led
