Talk Abstract: Research in programming methodology led to the development of the principles and methods that underlie how the implementations of modern software systems are designed and organized. At the center of this work are the notions of abstraction and modularity. These ideas are related: design is the process of inventing and identifying abstractions, which become the modules that make up the implementation. This talk will discuss our current understanding of abstraction and modularity and the research that got us to where we are today.

ConsuNova is delighted to announce its Senior Software and Certification Engineer, Kattie Grady was given the Distinguished New Engineer Award by The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) in honor of her achievements in the field of engineering.
The award honors women engineers actively demonstrating outstanding characteristics in engineering while in the first 10 years of their career. SWE s annual awards program serves to champion and empower those making significant contributions to the STEM community, and recipients include professionals, advocates and students from influential businesses, corporations and universities around the world.
WSU engineering students Grace Harris and Alyssa Hovenkotter received the scholarships.
SEL created its scholarship program this year to support students in their engineering education and careers, said Stephanie Schweitzer, SEL senior vice president of marketing and communications. SEL hopes to award yearly scholarships.
“Engineers are needed around the world,” she said. “We’re interested, as an organization and as an industry, in increasing the pipeline [to have] more young people studying engineering and coming into the workforce.”
The program also provides mentorship, professional development and SEL seminar opportunities to the scholarship recipients, Schweitzer said.
Harris, senior electrical engineering major, said the scholarship helped her pay her student loans. She said the money will help her financially when she graduates this semester.

At 7 years old, Allison Martinez pinched the legs of her grandmother, who was confined to a wheelchair, to see if she could get a reaction. Martinez’s grandmother had suffered a spinal cord injury in a car accident.
At an internet café in Honduras, “I [had] read about the loss of an individual’s leg sensation, so I decided to. pinch her leg to see if she could feel it,” Martinez says. “Looking back, that moment defined me, and I knew that I wanted to create something that would change peoples’ lives.”
