OSU MECHANICAL ENGINEERING E-BULLETIN Issue #14 Week of January 23, 2006 The ME Bulletin is
a one-stop source of information about department events, announcements,
scholarships, job postings, student club updates, and other
department-related items. Past issues are also be posted on the
ME web site at http://me.oregonstate.edu/news/bulletin.html.
To submit information: Information to be included
in upcoming e-bulletins should be sent to ME Communications
Coordinator Tracy Ann Robinson (tracy.ann.robinson@oregonstate.edu).
Items received by Wednesday of any given week will appear in the next week's
issue. Attention ME
Juniors and Seniors: Additional MECOP Internships Available An additional 13 MECOP internships are currently available
for OSU, PSU, and OIT students in ME, IME, or MET. These 6-month
internships will start this spring term. Both juniors and seniors who
meet the MECOP course requirements may apply. Students only need to
commit to one internship, but students who have time
and wish to continue to a second internship next year will be allowed to do so.
If
you are interested in applying for one of these internships, please schedule an
appointment with Dr. Stel Walker as soon as possible by contacting Gina Newcomb
or Karen Willard in ME Undergraduate Student Support (Dearborn 102); or stop by
Dr. Walker’s office in Dearborn 102 during his regular office hours (Tues, Wed,
Thurs 9–10 am). Dr. Walker will review your curriculum plan to make sure
you meet the requirements and discuss the impact of the internship on your
curriculum plan and graduation schedule. If
you do meet the internship qualifications and would like to apply, you will
then need to contact the MECOP/CECOP office in Covell #140 to obtain the
necessary application materials. The deadline for applications
is Friday, February 3rd. Students will be processed into the program using the standard MECOP
selection process, which involves an interview with MECOP Board
representatives. Successful applicants will be placed on February 24th,
during our annual Placement Process here at OSU, and will start their internship
the first Monday after Spring Break. This
is a great opportunity and we would like to see all 13 of these internships go
to OSU students! UPCOMING EVENTS This Week... For a schedule of this week’s Martin Luther

FACULTY/GRADUATE SEMINARS Thursday,
January 26, 9-10 am, Rogers 226: Brady J. Gibbons from the
Los Alamos National Laboratory Superconductivity Technology Center, and Mechanical
Engineering Materials Science tenure-track faculty candidate, describing his
research on “Structure, Process, and
Property Relationships in Multi-functional Oxide Thin Films Deposited on
Flexible Substrates.” Dr. Gibbons’
presentation topics include: •
Research and development of
high-transition temperature (Tc) superconductor-based
coated conductors; •
Experimentation with
long-length “reel-to-reel” deposition systems;
•
Exploration of processes for
achieving higher-performing YBCO-based coated conductors; •
Use of
ion-beam-assisted-deposition (IBAD)–derived bi-axially textured substrates for
other applications; and •
R&D opportunities on
ferroelectric and multiferroic thin-film oxides, materials with potential use
in novel memory devices, charge storage applications, and
microelectromechanical elements. Friday, January
26, 2-3:30 pm, Linke and
colleagues have discovered that liquid droplets accelerate when placed on a hot
surface that has ratchet-like grooves.
Provided the surface is sufficiently hot to put the droplets into the
film-boiling regime, this phenomenon is observed for all liquids. Motion is at
a speed of several centimeters per second, and it can overcome inclines. Linke
will demonstrate the phenomenon and describe his research observations in the
context of other methods of locally exerting forces on liquids (for example
electrostatically or by chemical gradients). He will also present a tentative
model for the physical cause of the droplet motion. Finally, he will discuss potential
applications for this heat-actuated pumping mechanism—for example, in cooling
systems that require no additional power source. Informal social time starts at 2:00 (coffee and tea provided). Come meet
the speaker and visit with colleagues! Presentation begins at 2:30 pm sharp. Note: The most current ME Seminar
schedule and other OSU seminar information is available on the Rogers Hall
bulletin boards near the ME main office. MISCELLANEOUS ANNOUNCEMENTS Congratulations to
ME/Materials Science faculty member Dr. Jay Kruzic on
his recent National Science
Foundation CAREER award! Dr. Kruzic is one of only a few NSF CAREER award
recipients at OSU over the years, and the first ever in Mechanical Engineering.
This prestigious NSF award involves a 5-year, 400K grant in support of the
“early career-development activities of those teacher-scholars who most
effectively integrate research and education within the context of the mission
of their organization.” Dr. Kruzic’s grant will fund an exploration of new ways
to predict fatigue failures and failures over time in materials. As part of the
grant, he also plans to conduct community outreach activities that provide
high-school students with opportunities to work with OSU’s Materials Science
faculty and graduate students. As a great
opportunity to network with industry
leaders this term (as well as learn about the entrepreneurial side of
life), consider attending some of the Winter Fireside Chats at Weatherford Hall. Attendance at Weatherford
Fireside Chats is free, but sign-up is required. To sign up
(and to see a complete listing of upcoming Fireside Chats), go to http://www.bus.oregonstate.edu/aepfellows/ListFellows.aspx.
