The College of Engineering, is pleased to announce that alumnus Paul Stuverud, ’71 BSEE and ’76 MSEE, has made an additional $50,000 gift to the endowed scholarship fund “Paul Stuverud MESA Endowed Scholarship” he created in 2019. Grateful for his SDSU education that launched a successful career working in integrated circuit design, Paul hopes that his generosity can ease the financial burden of students today. Paul first started giving to the College shortly after he completed his Master’s degree in 1976, supporting the College with annual gifts. Some 50 years later, Paul used his IRA Rollover to establish the fund and provide additional support.

Dr. Reza Sabzehgar, associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, along with co-authors S. Heydari, P. Fajri, and M. Shadmand received the Best Paper Award at IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC2020) for their paper on "Maximizing Harvested Energy through Regenerative Braking Process in Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive Electric Vehicles". This paper introduces a braking strategy for a dual-motor all-wheel drive electric vehicle that maximizes energy extraction during braking. The braking strategy is based on real-time sensing of each motor controller’s DC link current to achieve optimum brake allocation between friction and regenerative braking in both axles.
