The Rensselaer Society of Engineers (RSE) is a social fraternity founded in 1866 at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY.  Originally named The Pi Eta Scientific Society, the organization was incorporated in 1873 in the state of New York.  Arriving on campus at about the same time as some of the first fraternities, it has remained one of the oldest “local” organizations in the U.S. RSE is the only independent fraternity at Rensselaer.  They have chosen to remain independent to maintain the freedom to set their own policies and make their own managerial decisions.  Contrary to what their name may imply, members major not only in engineering, but also in such disciplines as science, management, architecture, and the arts.  Society members are active in not only campus and local activities, but are also in many national organizations. Dr. Don Millard (born November 28, 1955) is a Program Director at the National Science Foundation (NSF).  Prior to joining NSF, he was a faculty member at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the originator of the Mobile Studio Project.  In 1999 he started thinking about a way to enable students to perform experiments anytime, anyplace - specifically those that use an oscilloscope, function generator, digital control, and some form of power supply.  He started the Mobile Studio project by looking at commercially available solutions, which were prohibitively expensive; while choosing to involve students in bringing the project’s vision to reality.  Jason Coutermarsh, then a student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), joined the project in the summer of 2004 and they developed a complete functional input/output board (IOBoard) hardware/software prototype.  With the support of several technology companies and the National Science Foundation, the Mobile Studio Project is now being utilized to enhance science, math, engineering and technology education around the world. E. James Whitehead is Professor and Chair of Computational Media at the University of California, Santa Cruz, United States.  He served as the Chair of the Computer Science department University of California, Santa Cruz from 2010-2014.  He received a BS in Electrical Engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1989, and a PhD in Information and Computer Science from the University of California, Irvine, in 2000.
