COMMUNICATION KUDOS Congratulations to Dr. Kagan Tumer (Dynamics and Control faculty in Mechanical
Engineering), who received the Best Paper
award at the recent AAMAS 07 (International Conference on Autonomous Agents
and Multi Agent Systems) for his paper titled "Distributed Agent-Based Air
Traffic Flow Management," coauthored with Adrian Agogino,
UCSC, AND… Congratulations
also to this year’s recipients of the first annual OSU Culture of Writing Award in Mechanical, Industrial, and
Manufacturing Engineering: §
ME award recipients: Amanda Comer, Kristina

for their senior
design report titled Key Advantage
Production Line Improvements at GE Security in The OSU Culture
of Writing Awards initiative was established in 2006 by the OSU Writing
Intensive Curriculum Program, to encourage and reward outstanding undergraduate
writing efforts throughout the university. In this first year of our school’s participation
in the university-wide initiative, MIME award candidates were nominated by the
ME and IME senior design instructors. Next year, the MIME award process will
expand to include prizes for outstanding writing at the freshman, sophomore,
junior, and senior levels. AND… Last but
certainly not least, congratulations to the 2007 OSU Baja SAE team! While final results for the 2007 Baja SAE
World Challenge—which took place at Rochester Institute of Technology this past
weekend—are not yet posted, unofficial results put Beaver Racing in first place (out of 141 entries) in both the
Maneuverability and the Design events. Design rankings are based on teams’
combined scores for their written design report and the on-site design evaluation,
for which Beaver Racing received the highest and second-highest ratings,
respectively. This Week… MIME Students: Good
luck with exams, final projects, defenses, graduation activities, and all else
on your collective plates during this grand finale week of the 2006–07 academic
