2009 EECS–MIME INDUSTRY RECEPTION:
DON’T DELAY, REGISTER
TODAY!
Register NOW for the 2009 EECS &
MIME Industry Reception scheduled for Wednesday, February 18
(the evening before the Engineering Career Fair), 5:30–7:45 pm in
the Kelley Engineering Center. This free annual event is open to MIME students,
freshmen through grad. The event features an
hors d’oeuvres reception in the KEC Atrium followed by two break-out sessions
where you’ll meet with selected companies in smaller groups. It is designed to help you meet
and network with a variety of industry representatives in a low-key
setting. Some organizations are hiring for internships and full-time positions,
others just want you to be better acquainted with their company. Even if
you’re not looking for work right now, it’s very important to get out there and
start forming relationships with the people who might one day help you find an
internship or job.
For more information, click
here. To register for the Industry Reception, click here.
(Registration
closes this Friday, Feb. 13th)
Note: When you register, you’ll be asked to specify 2–3
companies you’d like to meet with. Before you do so, check the Participating
Companies listing to find out which ones are interested in your
major. And for the best selection of company break-out sessions, be sure to sign
up early! Also, regardless of whether you are attending the reception, you are
invited to upload a copy of your resume for inclusion in a resume book for our INSPiRE member companies (Garmin,
GE, Intel, and Tektronix). To upload your resume, click

to provide hands-on science experience, strengthen students’ knowledge, and
raise students’ academic and career aspirations. The program focuses on
educationally disadvantaged students and those from groups with low high school
graduation rates, striving to increase the number of under-served students that
are qualified to enroll in college. Interested, but want more info? Attend the mentor training session this
Friday, February 13, 4–5:30 pm in
Education Hall 110. There will be free pizza! College credit and paid

ACCEPTING GRANT
APPLICATIONS FOR THE FEMET CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT GRANT. Proposals are being solicited from Professors of ferrous metallurgy
or materials science for funding of a curriculum development assistant to
enhance or update industry curriculum in ferrous metallurgy programs. In the
proposal, indicate how you would approach the task, including budget and
schedule requirements. The maximum allowable time for a curriculum development
grant is five years beginning in Fall 2008. The number
of awards granted depends on fund availability; the maximum grant per award
will be $5,000 per year for five years for a total of $25,000. The program
objective is to utilize undergraduate students to assist in the editing and
updating of textbooks and/or other course materials for use in ferrous
metallurgy education. The Professors selected will have discretion in
establishing the student duties as long as the steel industry’s role or
visibility in the Professor’s course curriculum and/or other programs is
enhanced. Individual student assistants should be entering their next to last
undergraduate year for a maximum of two years and would be selected by the
professor (or however the school dictates). For more info, click here. [posted
