The Demetri Angelakos Memorial Achievement Award
Presented annually to an Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences graduate student who is beyond the preliminary examination and is proceeding to a doctoral degree. The purpose of the award is to recognize a student who, in addition to conducting his/her research, unselfishly takes the time to help colleagues beyond the normal cooperation existing between fellow students. The award was established in 1979 in memory of Demetri Angelakos who was a graduate student in Electrical Engineering and had been working toward his Ph.D. at the time of his death.
The altruistic attitude of the recipient may be evidenced in the following ways: volunteering to conduct laboratory procedure sessions attended by colleagues, explaining intricate equipment usage, promoting greater research cooperation, etc. Because of the primary interests of the EECS graduate student in whose name the award was established, the general areas of solid state, optical electronics, electromagnetics and semiconductor electronics will be given first consideration.

James H. Eaton Memorial Scholarship
The James Eaton Memorial Scholarship is for an EECS graduate or undergraduate student who has demonstrated a keen sense of creativity and inventiveness. The award is named in honor of James Eaton, a 1962 EE PhD, who spent a short period of time on the UC Berkeley EE faculty before joining IBM where he was spent the next 40 years directing research and pioneering technologies, especially in the magnetic tape data storage areas. Late in his career, suffering from MS, he left the East Coast, returned to California where he pursued his interest in designing new products, receiving an IBM Corporate Award in 2001 and the title of Master Inventor (with 24-25 patents) shortly before his death, still employed, in 2004. He was known by all as an original thinker, coming up with practical, unique and patentable ideas. Nominations will be accepted from at large in the department with selection by the Student Awards Committee.

The Ross N. Tucker Memorial Award
The Tucker Award memorializes Dr. Ross N. Tucker, who contributed significantly to the advancement of the technology of materials used in semiconductor electronics. Dr. Tucker's research leadership at Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel and his personal contributions to the development of high-quality epitaxial deposition of thin layers of silicon, and to the understanding of the properties of thin films of polycrystalline silicon are of special significance. The award is given to recognize superior work and scholarship in the characterization, development and/or use of semiconductor, magnetic, optical or electronic materials by a graduate student or students pursuing such areas of inquiry at the University of California, Berkeley. Nominations are sought from faculty and graduate students in the Fall. Since 2003, the award recipient has been selected by a College of Engineering committee, on the basis of their field of study, interest in cultural activities and the ability to guide associates in work that advances the technologies and uses of semiconductor, magnetic, optical or electronic materials. The award is presented officially at the annual spring Metallurgical Society Northern California Electronics Materials Symposium and also as part of the EECS Student Awards ceremony when there is an EECS recipient. The award is given to a student currently enrolled for a graduate degree in the College or to a student who has submitted a Ph.D. thesis within six months of the award date. The selection will be made without regard to financial need, gender, ethnicity or nationality. A similar memorial award has also been set up at Stanford University.
