$1 Million DMEA Equipment
Loaned To CSUS Making a Diference
April 20, 2000
On April 20, 2000, six key community leaders
joined together to witness electro-optics, and electronics equipment
valued at $1 million being transferred from the Defense Microelectronics
Activity (DMEA), McClellan, California to California State University,
Sacramento (CSUS). In their comments to the more than 150 attendees
at the event, California's 3rd District Congressman Doug Ose,
Assemblymember Dave Cox, Sacramento County Board of Supervisor
Roger Dickinson, and CSUS President, Dr. Donald Gerth each praised
the efforts of DMEA's Director, Mr. Ted Glum as he officially
transferred the equipment "on loan" to Dr. S. K. Ramesh,
CSUS' Professor and chair of Electrical & Electronic Engineering
(E & EE) Department.
Under an Educational Partnership Agreement between
DMEA and CSUS, the government equipment was transferred on "long
term loan" to the University to encourage and enhance study
in scientific disciplines. The Federal Technology Center, working
as DMEA's partnership intermediary, initiated the agreement with
the enthusiastic support of both DMEA managers and engineers.

Follow-up
on the Loaned Equipment
In November 2001, we followed
up on the fiber optic equipment loaned to California State University,
Sacramento (CSUS) by the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA)
on April 20, 2000.
We found that the loan
of this equipment is having far reaching benefits. Not only are
University students using the equipment, but teachers from area
high schools who attend Dr. Ramesh's seminars are gaining knowledge
to better prepare their students to pursue engineering and scientific
careers.
