Chair: Bozenna Pasik-Duncan, University of Kansas Co-Chair: Fahmida N. Chowdhury, University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Abstract: One of the major challenges for the controls community is to enhance its own public image and convey the essence and contribution of the field to outsiders; for this, a coordinated effort has to take place. This Special Session has as its purpose to prepare "Plain Talk about the Power, Beauty and Excitement of Control for the Non-Control Engineering Audience." This series of talks will include a brief history of feedback control and provide a sample of short talks for a target audience of non-control engineering professionals and general public. --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Diana Carlin Diana Carlin is Dean of the Graduate School and International
Programs and a professor of Communication Studies at the University of Kansas.
Prior to being appointed dean in 2000 she served as an interim assistant provost
and an acting department chair. Her research interests are in political
communication and gendered communication. She has taught courses on
communication and gender and women in politics and has conducted research on
attitudes toward women politicians. She is a frequent speaker for professional
women's associations on topics related to gender and communication and women in
organizations. Part

Women in Research Funding Panel Discussion Although the overall
proportion of women funded is comparatively low, statistics show that this is
more a reflection of the number of proposals received from women, rather than a
bias against women at the funding stage. Through a presentation of some of
the recent trends and statistics, we hope to generate discussion on issues such
as how the low numbers of women receiving funding may affect students and
younger researchers, why fewer women submit proposals, and what the
community can do to improve the situation. Fahroo Fariba and Sharon Heise Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Alkis Konstantellos here European Union Program Director Part
III Honorary Speaker: Cheryl Schrader Cheryl Schrader is a recipient of the 2005 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science,
Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM)--a program supported and
administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF). She is a professor and
Dean of the College of Engineering at the Boise State University, has a
distinguished record of mentoring at both her present institution and the
University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). She has demonstrated an enduring,
strong, and personal commitment to providing students with useful faculty
guidance. *************************************************************
