Tennessee Engineer Fall 2005 - College of Engineering - The ...

Vol. VIII • Issue I • Fall 2005Building the Future of Engineering Education and ResearchThe College of Engineering has been waitingsince 1962 for the construction of a new engineeringbuilding.As of July 2005, the wait is over as planningbegins for not one, but two new engineeringfacilities on the UT Knoxville campus.“We are thrilled that we have reached this milestone,”said COE Dean Way Kuo. “This is an unprecedentedevent in the history of our college.”The Min Kao Electrical and ComputerEngineering BuildingThe construction of a new engineering buildingwas one of the main goals on Kuo’s agenda whenhe was named dean in June 2004. The cumulativeeffect of years of tight budgets had created an urgentneed for upgraded classrooms and laboratories,and had resulted in a severe space shortage.Many of the college’s existing facilities, includingPerkins and Dougherty Halls, were far downthe list of state capital improvement priorities.Estabrook Hall, the second-oldest building oncampus, was near the top, but college administratorshad been waiting almost eight years for stateapproval of renovation funding.Enter Dr. Min Kao, chairman and CEO of theGarmin Corporation, one of the world’s largestmanufacturers of Global Positioning Systems(GPS) products.Kao, who received his M.S. and Ph.D. degreesin electrical engineering from UT in 1975 and1977, respectively, had stayed in touch throughthe years with his faculty advisor, James Hung.In early 2004, Kao contacted Hung regardingthe possibility of making a gift of lasting value tothe university. Hung suggested donating fundsfor a new electrical and computer engineeringbuilding.Dr. Samir El-Ghazaly, professor and head ofthe Department of Electrical and ComputerEngineering, was out of town on business whenhe received an urgent phone call from Hungrequesting a meeting. When the two professorsfinally got together, Hung told El-Ghazaly thatan anonymous donor had approached him withan offer of a $1 million donation to providescholarships to the Department of Electrical andComputer Engineering (ECE). Delighted at thenews, El-Ghazaly was even more surprised to hearthat the same donor was considering a major giftto a university for a building, and that UT had avery good chance of being the recipient.UT and COE administrators worked diligently tocreate an exciting proposal for the new building.Their efforts paid off when Kao committed toproviding $12.5 million for the facility.“It was a dream turned into reality,” El-Ghazalycommented. “The magnitude of this truly transformationalgift is huge.”Kao’s donation for the new facility allowed UTand COE administrators to approach Tennessee’sgovernor, Phil Bredesen, with a proposal to seeif the funding could be matched by the state inorder to expedite the construction of the building.Bredesen included the $25 million in his proposed2005-2006 budget, and the state legislatureapproved the funding in June of 2005, enhancingthe building initiative to a total of $37.5 million.The new 150,000 square foot building will beconstructed on the east side of the Hill betweenthe Dougherty Engineering Building andCumberland Avenue. It will include two “cleanrooms” to create microelectronic devices andnanotechnology-related fabrications. The buildingis the campus’s first new engineering facilitysince the Dougherty Engineering Building wasconstructed in 1962. The facility will be namedthe Min Kao Electrical and Computer EngineeringBuilding in honor of Dr. Kao’s generosity.“I am fortunate to be in a position to give back toa university that did so much for me,” Kao said.“The University of Tennessee opened its doorsand offered me an opportunity to grow in myfield. I hope the new facility will allow others topursue their dreams and will further position UTas a gateway to great things in engineering andinnovation.”Kao also pledged an additional $5 million tomatch other private donations up to the sameamount, with the goal of generating a $10 millionendowment for the Department of Electrical andComputer Engineering. This unique public-privatepartnership will allow the re-named MinH. Kao Department of Electrical and ComputerEngineering to offer world-class educational andresearch opportunities.“Obviously, we will include state-of-the-art laboratoriesfor education and research and modernclassrooms in the new building,” El-Ghazalystated. “We will provide the students with amuch more comfortable and appropriate learningenvironment.”Continued on page 6Historic $17.5 Million Gift to FundConstruction of New ECE FacilityCOE alumnus Dr. Min Kao (center) was accompanied by his wife Fan andson Kenneth during his visit to UT in 2004, prior to finalizing the largestprivate donation ever bestowed upon the university.College of Engineering Dean Way Kuo (right) addressed the media at thesite chosen for construction of the Min Kao Electrical and ComputerEngineering Building.Dr. Kao (right) spoke with electrical and computer engineering studentsDavid Scaperoth and Lance Schmieder during his 2004 campus visit.

DEVELOPMENT notesTalley Family Establishes Weston Miller Fulton Memorial ScholarshipMrs. Jean Fulton Talley and her husband, JamesC. Talley II, have established the Weston MillerFulton Memorial Scholarship to honor themany accomplishments of Mrs. Talley’s father,Mr. Fulton—devoted family man, capitalist andinventor.The Talleys have included the bequest to theCollege of Engineering’s Department of Electricaland Computer Engineering (ECE) in theirestate plans.“My father was such a generous man, he gave somuch to so many,” Mrs. Talley said. “I know hewould be honored that we are presenting this giftin his name to the university he loved so much.”Weston Miller Fulton was born on August 3,1871, in Hale, Alabama, to William and MaryBrown Fulton. As a young child, Fulton workedthe cotton fields of their family farm. His parentsmade sure that he received an education, attendingthe best schools in both Alabama andMississippi. He excelled in his studies, and uponentering college, decided to concentrate hisefforts in the field of meteorology. In 1892, heearned a Bachelor of Arts Degree (with highesthonors) from the University of Mississippi atOxford and soon took the Civil Service examthat earned him an appointment as meteorologistwith the weather bureau in Vicksburg, Miss.Fulton accepted an appointment to the KnoxvilleWeather Bureau in 1898. While attendingto his duties as weather forecaster, Fulton also begantaking an interest in science courses offeredat UT, and soon became a dedicated student andteacher. During his tenure at UT (1898-1903),he served on the science faculty and continuedhis studies. At one point, Fulton began experimentingto find a way to measure the fluctuatinglevels of the Tennessee River. Subsequently, hedevised an automatic river gauge that caught theattention of the US Government and becamethe subject of a special government bulletin. In1902, Fulton was awarded a Master of ScienceDegree from the University of Tennessee.One of Fulton’s most notable inventions wasthe “Sylphon”—named in honor of Sylph, theNorse goddess of the atmosphere. While studyingthe action of electricity on a mixture of gas andvapors, like water vapor and air in the atmosphere,he needed a device for confining such amixture so he could study the effects of temperaturechanges upon it. He eventually succeeded inproducing a seamless corrugated bellows from athin-walled metal tube.Initially the Sylphon, and the mechanisms thatwent with it, opened and closed draft doors oncoal furnaces and automatically regulated thethermostatic flow of gas-to-gas furnaces and ovens.During World War I, this invention took onMrs. Jean Fulton Talley (left) and her husband James C. Talley II haveestablished a new scholarship for engineering students in honor of Mrs.Talley’s father, Weston Miller Fulton.a critical role to help shorten the conflict againstGermany. As the result of a casual conversationwith War Department agents in 1917 who werelooking for factories that might be convertedto produce wartime materials, Fulton expressedhow his bellows device could be installed on anunderwater bomb to set it off when it sank to apre-set depth, thus destroying many enemy submarines.Fulton’s depth bomb mechanism gavethe Allies their best weapon for destroying Germansubmarines as they attacked the convoys.Additional far-reaching applications of theSylphon range from the cooling systems onautomobiles and refrigerators to eventual usesin satellites, space shuttles and jet liners. Thebellows-like device for thermostatic control oftemperature led to the founding of the FultonCompany in 1904, where many of his inventionswere manufactured.In 1930, Fulton sold the Fulton Sylphon Company(previously known as the Fulton Company)and in subsequent years he broadened his businessinterests to include the W. J. Savage Company(1930-36), the Tennessee Odin InsuranceCompany (1935-46) and the Royal ManufacturingCompany (1940-45). At the time of Fulton’sunexpected death in 1946, he was working on anautomatically controlled stoker for coal burningfurnaces. Mrs. Talley noted that this was thehappiest she had ever seen him with regard to hiswork—this invention was inspired by his desireto help rid cities of smoke. Fulton held patentson more than 200 inventions; at one time theUS Patent Office in Washington had an entireroom devoted to his devices.As Fulton’s wealth grew, so did his generosity. Hewas active in Knoxville and Tennessee government,serving as Vice-Mayor of Knoxville, andwas involved in numerous charities and organizationsincluding the Masons, the board of theChamber of Commerce and the YMCA; he wasalso one of the early leaders in the Great SmokyMountains Conservation Association.Fulton was a devoted husband and father. Hemarried the former Barbara Stuart Murrian in1910 and together they raised five children—Buddy, Barbara, Robert, Jean and Mary. Theoldest, Weston Miller Fulton, Jr. “Buddy” passedaway suddenly in 1926. As a memorial to his son,Fulton donated the family home on presentdayVolunteer Boulevard to the University ofTennessee. The house was used for years as thestudent health center.Fulton had many passions—his family, his work,and the community in which he lived andserved. He was also a fanatical University of Tennesseefootball fan.“My dad loved UT football,” Mrs. Talley commented.“He took me to the Rose Bowl to seeUT play when I was only 15 years old. It was thenational championship game. I’ve never forgottenhow exciting it was to take that trip.”“I am not a college graduate, but both of ourtwo children, their spouses, and all four of ourgrandchildren have their degrees,” Mr. Talleysaid. “Several have graduated from UT. Webelieve in the power of education. Jean and Ihave been married for over 60 years, and we havehad very good fortune over the course of our livestogether. We wanted to establish this endowmentnot only for her father, but also to honorour family.”“We are so pleased that Mr. and Mrs. Talley haveselected the College of Engineering for theirgenerous gift,” said Patty Shea, Interim DevelopmentDirector. “This is a particularly auspicioustime to donate to the ECE Department, since weare currently working to raise funds to match Dr.Min Kao’s $5 million endowment pledge duringthe ECE Challenge Campaign.”The COE development office provides assistanceto alumni and friends of the college with estateplanning and in establishing endowments forspecific scholarship and/or program funding.
