MECHANICAL, INDUSTRIAL, & MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING E-BULLETIN ME–IME Faculty/Graduate
Seminars Job and
Internship Postings—ME & IME Students Faculty and Post-Doc
Positions Welcome
to Spring Term! Dear MIME students, faculty, and staff: Here's hoping you've had
a fun and relaxing (if way too short) spring break and are ready for the
home-stretch of AY 2006-07. There's a lot going on this term, both here in the departments
and across campus, so as you plan out the next 10 weeks consider checking out something
you've never done before. For example… ·
Did you know that OSU has a Diversity
Book Club (http://oregonstate.edu/diversity/bookclub.html) that is
open to all students, staff, faculty, and community members? Each month,
different people or organizations facilitate a forum that addresses a book. The
facilitator gives a background on the book they chose and presents questions
for an open dialogue. This term's selections include The Sunflower by
Simon Wiesenthal, Coyote Warrior by Paul VanDevelder, and Native
Speaker by Chang-Rae Lee. These books are available in the bookstore
and Valley Library, but you're welcome to attend the forums even if you haven't
read them. The forums are listed in the events section of this bulletin. Think
about attending one or more of them! ·
MIME faculty and
GTAs, this term features a rich selection of teaching workshops sponsored by the Center for Teaching and
Learning. Topics include “Developing Global Competence in Undergraduates,” “Survival
Skills for Instructors New to Teaching,” “Using Audience Response Systems in the
Classroom,” and “How Grading Rubrics Can Make Your Teaching Life Easier,” among
others. These free workshops provide new insights and resources to enhance your
teaching as well as an opportunity to network with
faculty and GTAs from other disciplines. Take advantage of
this local resource! (Note that CTL Director Peter
Saunders is one of our featured MIME seminar speakers this term.)
More about the workshops can be found at http://oregonstate.edu/ctl/workshop.htm.
·
And of course, don't
forget that the annual OSU
Engineering Expo is coming up on May 11th. This festive event, which packs
the Kelley Center Atrium, celebrates the achievements of senior design teams across
the CoE. Mark your calendars and be sure to stop by and see what our MIME seniors
have been up to this year. We'll be featuring
more such events and opportunities in subsequent spring issues of
this e-bulletin. For now, keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities
to expand your personal and professional horizons! New
MIME Jobs and Internships Posting System Now in Beta Test This term, we're rolling out a new system for posting and
accessing mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing engineering job and
internship information. Check it out today at http://ie.oregonstate.edu/MIMEjobboard/.
Now, instead of weeding through long listings in the e-bulletin,
you can easily view locate the jobs or internships that are directly relevant
to your major or career interests. This posting system was developed last
fall by the following students in Dr. Shiwoo Lee's Information Systems
Engineering course: Jose Cedeno, Miriam Chaudhary, Kevin Hou, Yung-Tai Pan, and Yi-Ning Yang. It
exemplifies the innovative problem-solving talents of IEs who work to upgrade and
streamline systems and processes. As part of the beta testing process, we welcome your comments
and suggestions as you try out the new system. Please send your feedback to tracy.ann.robinson@oregonstate.edu.

aeronautical or space technology. This impact might be seen in new or enhanced
systems or processes or tools, new levels of performance, improved life cycle
costs, new capabilities, or in other areas. Entries should include a 200 word
summary and supporting material, which could include new patents or documented
applications that have been adopted by industry, published papers or research
that have won recognition from academic, professional or industrial
associations. Entries are judged by a panel of former Boeing senior engineers

STUDENTS AVAILABLE SPRING TERM. We are offering a course for graduate students needing
training to use the ME shop. The course number is ME 206 and it runs 8:00-9:50 am on
Fridays during spring term. For more information, contact Steve Adams at steve.adams@oregonstate.edu, NOTE TO FACULTY: MECOP/CECOP SPRING SELECTION INTERVIEWS are scheduled for Friday, May 18 at OSU. Sophomore engineering students who apply to MECOP/CECOP are required to participate in the Selection process on that day. Please consider this when scheduling your classroom activities and exams for spring term, and please extend flexibility if students have schedule conflicts on May 18th. APRIL 6 FACULTY FOCUS GROUP SESSIONS ON CLASSROOM RENOVATIONS. This Friday, 90-minute focus group sessions will be conducted to gather faculty and student input on the future of learning spaces needed at OSU and to help participants understand the impact of the classroom setting on people and pedagogy. These will be interactive discussions about the implications of change in the physical teaching spaces and how that can be done to best support the instructional needs and goals of faculty. A broad cross-section of the teaching faculty from across campus is sought so that information pertinent to large and small class sizes and the diversity of pedagogical methods utilized in teaching and learning can be collected. This is a unique opportunity for faculty to determine the characteristics of our classroom environment - the site of perhaps the most important activity conducted at OSU: teaching and learning. Faculty Focus Group Sessions are at 8:30-10:00 or 11:00-12:30, Friday, April 6, in Milam 215. Refreshments will be provided. Faculty and administrators willing to participate in one of the focus group sessions should register by contacting Evelyn Reynolds at 737-2804 or ereynolds@oregonstate.edu.
