Women to Watch: A Bold Revolution

June 1, 2020 by Leslie Prives

When Francesca Scire-Scappuzzo was awarded the 2019 IEEE Region 1 Managerial Excellence in an Engineering Organization Award last October “for starting a bold revolution in the defense and aerospace industry,” she felt many emotions: gratitude, excitement, and pride, above all. She was grateful to the IEEE for the acknowledgment and to the many people she collaborated with along the way. She was excited for the future ahead as part of what she calls “a vibrant innovation ecosystem of universities, small businesses, accelerators, venture capital investors, government representatives, and large corporations, all tirelessly working together in new ways to protect our country and make an impact on society.” Then she was proud because this powerful recognition of her work also recognizes a lifelong commitment to taking on challenges that others said would be too difficult as well as a commitment to making an impact on an entire industry.

Creating a Supportive Environment for Women and Minority Students: Miguel Is Advancing Equality in Academia

Dr. Agnieszka Miguel has dedicated her career to teaching and mentoring students in electrical and computer engineering as well as creating communities among other engineering faculty, but her career path is one that almost did not happen. “As a Ph.D. student, I didn’t consider academia at all,” she recalls. “I thought I would find a research job in industry or in a lab.” However, the very day she was sending out her resume to companies in Seattle, 11 September 2001, the world changed.

The New Face of Engineering: Faghih Is Applying Her Research to Make an Impact on People’s Lives

As 2019 came to a close, many people took the time to reflect on the past decade. So much so that the 10-Year Challenge became a phenomenon on social media. Although she didn’t participate, Dr. Rose Faghih would have made an inspiring entry: She had an extremely successful, busy decade during which she completed her master’s and Ph.D. degrees, evolved her research as both a National Science Foundation (NSF) fellow and a postdoctoral associate, won an IEEEUSA’s New Face of Engineering Award, and began a dual role as an assistant professor at the University of Houston as well as director of the Computational Medicine Lab (CML) which is located at the University.

Engineering the Magic

When the Enchanted Tiki Room opened at Disney-land in Anaheim, Calif., in 1963, it was, by all accounts, thrilling. Inside were dozens of talking flowers, totem poles, and birds-colorful macaws, toucans, and cockatoos-and together they per-formed a musical show by dancing and singing along to tunes like the “Hawaiian War Chant.” Huge crowds visited the attraction, excited to get a look at these early Audio-Animatronics-“audio” meaning that sound triggered a series of mechanisms, like cams and levers, that caused a pneumatic valve to open and close, moving an eye, a beak, or part of the body in time with the music. People loved them.
