highly selective corps of top recent college graduates and
professionals—individuals of all academic majors, career interests, and
backgrounds—who commit two years to teach in low-income communities and become
lifelong leaders in pursuit of educational excellence and equity. During their
two years, corps members go above and beyond traditional expectations to ensure
that children growing up in low-income areas have more of the opportunities
they deserve. At the same time, the corps members themselves gain the
conviction and insight necessary to be lifelong leaders for fundamental change,
regardless of their professional sector. For more details, visit http://www.teachforamerica.org/mission/index.htm Wed Jan 23: OSU Market Research Open

FELLOWSHIPS, AND RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS
[back to top] NEW!
supplemental
scholarships for Potential IE and MfgE majors. A limited
number of one-time scholarships ranging from $250 to $1,000 will be awarded to
qualified students interested in pursuing a BS in either Industrial Engineering
(IE) or Manufacturing Engineering (MfgE) at OSU. Any new freshman or transfer student who did
not already receive a 2007-8 IME scholarship is eligible to apply. Industrial engineering emphasizes the
involvement of people in cost-effective systems for many areas, including the
production of consumer goods, energy conversion, agriculture, health care,
communications, and transportation.
Manufacturing engineers are concerned with the design and operation of
integrated systems for the production of high quality, economically competitive
products utilizing computer networks, advanced automation, machine tools, and
other equipment. As IE and MfgE are lesser known engineering disciplines, we
hope that this scholarship will encourage students to investigate whether one of
these programs are right for them.
Freshman level COE courses are fully interchangeable among
pre-engineering disciplines. To apply
for this scholarship, you must send an e-mail to the IME Head Advisor, Lynn
Paul, at Lynn.Paul@OregonState.edu
requesting consideration for the scholarship.
If you are not already a Pre-IE or Pre-MfgE student, transfer to either
one of those two disciplines, stay registered as a Pre-IE or Pre-MfgE at least
through winter term 2008, and, during winter term 2008, attend at least three
IE or MfgE-related student organization events.
Qualifying student organizations are: IIE - Institute of Industrial
Engineers; SME - Society of Manufacturing Engineers; and SMTA - Surface Mount
Technology Association. Scholarship applications are due back January 15th,
2008. Decisions will be based on high school GPA, SAT/ACT scores, and OSU GPA
for fall term 2007 and winter term 2008. Please
note that this is a supplemental scholarship and will be awarded during this
(2007-2008) academic year. Students
interested in applying for scholarships for the 2008-2009 academic year should complete the online application available
through the COE website. [posted 12/12] NEW! ASHRAE. The Oregon ASHRAE Chapter is offering $1500 of educational support for full time students in an engineering or architectural program in Oregon.
