ITP Recruits New Leadership, Strengthens International Program, continued

ITP students represent more than 20 different countries, underscoring the ITP's value worldwide. Here, students work with equipment in the Cisco Laboratory.

Meanwhile, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education awarded the third installment on a $1.25 million Program of Excellence Grant to the ITP last fall. Award funds are being used for the Visiting Fellows Program to provide guest lecturers for classes, weekend seminars, and specialized summer courses. Speakers have included Fred Chernow, Joseph Williams, Greg Tally, and Katie McCallister. Funds also are being used to enhance laboratories, and students are now able to compare the trade-offs for different amplifier circuits by following an optical detector for the input impedance, noise, bandwidth and use of a transimpedance amplifier.

The International Center for Standards Research continues to involve government, industry, and educational leaders in standardiza-tion and innovation in information technology. The center supports researchers whose scholarship has been recognized at major conferences and in publications of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Standards Engineering Society, and International Organization for Standardization.

Approximately 40 percent of the ITP's student body is comprised of international students from more than 20 countries, underscoring that ITP is meeting demand for telecommunications professionals on a worldwide basis.
