ME 382 DESIGN COMPETITION RESULTS
Kudos to all
ME students who participated in last Thursday’s ME 382 competition—and thanks
to the hundreds of visitors who attended and cheered them on. Today’s Corvallis Gazette Times features a front-page
article about the event. Check it out at http://www.gtconnect.com/articles/2006/12/04/news/community/7aaa03_cleanwater.txt. (Be advised, though, that the title is a little
misleading…I saw plenty of WOMAN-powered machines on Thursday, too :)
Special congratulations to the members of
the three winning teams. First place went to Lucas Marks, Umang Patel, Peter van Tamelen,
Lindsey Walker, and Stephanie Wilton,
whose friction-based heating mechanism with bicycle human-power input produced
113 grams of distilled water. Members of the second-placing team—Mark Cooley, Jennifer Mark, Richard
Walloch, and Scott Zenier—produced
75 grams of distillate with their compact and lightweight bicycle-powered electrical
wire-based heat mechanism. The third placing team, Devin Allphin, Husain Alshaiji, Florian
Kapsenberg, Kevin Silveira, and William Zimmerman, also
produced 75 grams of purified water with their pedal-powered electricity-based
copper-plate heating device.
ME
FACULTY KUDOS ALSO IN
ORDER
Materials
Science professor Dave Cann, in collaboration with other Materials colleagues, has
successfully competed for a 2006 Intel Faculty Fellowship Award for a
"New Graduate/Senior Undergraduate Lab Course on Materials Analysis."
The funding will support equipment for a new materials laboratory course and
will be team-taught by an interdisciplinary faculty team.
And Jay Kruzic, also Materials Science faculty, was recently awarded a
General Research Fund award from the OSU Research Office, one of only four in
the University and the only one from Engineering. The research is titled
"Ductile B2 Intermetallic Compounds:Structural Materials for the 21st
Century." And as if that weren’t enough, Dr. Kruzic has also won a 2007
Young Leader Professional Development Award from The Minerals, Metals, &
Materials Society (TMS).

MISCELLANEOUS
ANNOUNCEMENTS [back to top]
Departments-wide…
INTERESTED IN WORKING AS AN ACADEMIC COACH DURING
WINTER TERM? The Academic
Success Center
and Academic Services for Student Athletes need to fill at least ten academic
coaching positions for winter term. These Learning Strategists will provide intensive
academic coaching for at-risk students, including assistance with time
management and organization, reading and note taking. They will work intensively with one or two students, 3–4
times/week, assisting students in applying learning strategies directly to
their reading and assignments. While not necessarily content tutoring, this is
an intensive and applied study assistance program. Training and orientation
prepare students for this peer support position. Required job
qualifications: minimum one year at OSU or graduate status with 1 to 2
terms at OSU, good academic standing. Preferred job qualifications: prior
tutoring experience, good interpersonal skills. Other details: Number of
positions to be filled: up to 20 positions. 6-20 hours per week, variable. Work
study or non-work study. $8-10 per hour. January 5 - March 23, may continue
into spring term. Supervisor: Moira Dempsey. To apply: Indicate the job
title "Learning Strategist" and address the required and preferred
job qualifications in your correspondence. Deliver or send a brief cover
letter, your winter term schedule, resume and contact information (including
phone and email) to: Janine Kobel, 102 Waldo Hall, OSU, janine.kobel@oregonstate.edu. Interviews
and hiring will occur during finals week. Mandatory training will be held on
Friday, January 5.
DONATE YOUR USED TEXTBOOKS FOR AFRICAN UNIVERSITIES. Engineers Without
Borders-OSU is now collecting used textbooks and other qualifying books to send
to universities in Africa. Qualifying books include (1) college
textbooks and study guides (with copyright dates from the past 5 years); (2)
any book used in a college class; (3) workbooks (with no missing pages); and
(4) in general, books that cover college subject matter (i.e. Math, Science,
Business, Literature, Engineering, Health, Psychology, Foreign Language,
History, Business, Philosophy, Sociology, Computer Science, Anthropology,
Government, etc.) Highlighting and/or writing in books is fine, and
accompanying CD’s are great to send along as well. This is a great opportunity
to benefit a community in Africa while raising
money for EWB and its projects. (EWB-OSU will receive $0.50 for every
qualifying book.) Book drop boxes will be available until December 15 in
the Valley Library (next to Java II),
MU student lounge, and the History Department (Milam Hall). Just
think…if every OSU student donated just
1 textbook, a shipment of 17,000 books would go to Africa…enough
to fill a whole library!
ADDITIONAL “DESIGNING FOR LEAD FREE” WORKSHOP SCHEDULED FOR
JANUARY. Due to the high level of interest
in this workshop, the Oregon Chapter of SMTA has agreed to sponsor a
training day in January to help accommodate OSU students who might be
interested in attending. The session
will be held on January 10, 2007! The time will be 9 am–5pm. The workshop will take place in the Portland area. Local companies have agreed to sponsor
students to attend this training, so there is no cost to the student. To
receive a sponsor for this training, however, you must be a member of the OSU
Student SMTA chapter. Student memberships $5, and you can join on-line at www.smta.org. If you
are interested in attending this training session, please e-mail IME Professor
Toni Doolen (toni.doolen@oregonstate.edu) by 12/11/07. Dr. Doolen will arrange for transportation
from OSU to the class. If you have
questions about the event or SMTA membership, feel free to call at 737-5641.
