Service for Calkins

University of Washington staff, faculty and students are invited to a memorial service for Dale Eugene Calkins, a longtime UW engineering professor who died during the summer. He was 61.

The service is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Walker-Ames Room, located in the Kane Hall. A reception will follow.

Calkins joined the UW’s mechanical engineering department 20 years ago. He specialized in computer-aided design engineering and knowledge-based engineering, and created the university’s Formula SAE car program, which allows engineering seniors to complete their programs by building a formula race car for national competition with other universities. ¶
