Students and faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) at The University of Mississippi (UM) held their own "Mini-Memphis in May Festival" at the 5th Annual Memphis Area Engineering and Science Conference (MAESC) - Science and Engineering: The Foundation for Success in Economic Development. Thirteen (13) papers, co-authored by 19 UM EE participants, where presented -. a major contribution to the MAESC conference by a single engineering department. MAESC 2003 was hosted by Christian Brothers University (CBU) on Thursday May 15, 2003, and was held in Buckman Hall on the CBU campus on East Parkway South in Memphis, TN. The UM School of Engineering is a major sponsor of this conference.

The purpose of the MAESC Conference is to bring together scientists, engineers, and other professionals in all disciplines to share knowledge and to discuss the current issues in science, technology, and engineering. Dr. Atef Z. Elsherbeni, UM School of Engineering representative on the MAESC Organization Committee and Professor of Electrical Engineering, indicates that that MAESC feels that, "It is an opportunity to share one's expertise with colleagues and students and to highlight significant research being pursed locally in the Mid-South."

These papers were co-authored by a large number of students and faculty as shown in the accompanying list of papers presented. Dr. Atef Z. Elsherbeni served on the MAESC Organization Committee, and he and Dr. Alexander B. Yakovlev were Moderators for 3 Technical Sessions. On-line post-conference proceedings of paper abstracts and related information can be viewed at cbu.edu/engineering/maesc, the source used for descriptive information on this news item.
