ORDER of the ENGINEER INITIATES: ORDER YOUR RING THIS WEEK! To all MIME Seniors: The Order of the Engineer comprises
a group of US engineers who have publicly accepted their responsibilities to
the public and their profession. For more information about the Order, please
visit http://www.order-of-the-engineer.org/.
If you are planning on graduating this June, or are within two academic terms
of graduating, you are eligible to join the Order of the Engineer, and we
encourage you to do so! The induction ceremony is scheduled for 1 pm on
Saturday, June 14th, in the Memorial Union Lounge. (Note: You’ll
have plenty of time to do this and still participate in the MIME graduation
ceremony at 4 pm on the 14th!) If you plan to join the Order of the Engineer, please come to
the Owen Hall atrium this week—anytime between 1 and 4 pm on Mon April 14th–Thurs
April 17th— to size and order your OE ring. The cost is $30 (cash or
check). ME SENIOR DESIGN TEAM KUDOS The Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis would like to thank Dr. Ron Adams, Dr. John Parmigiani, and Oregon State University students Andrew Sorg, Rhett Shidaker, and Gary Breck from the OSU School of Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering. This senior design team designed and implemented a solution to help reduce the acoustics problem in the Boys & Girls Club art center by installing acoustical wall panels and ceiling baffles. The Boys & Girls Club offers one of the most comprehensive art programs in our community. There are several local, state and national art contest winners from the club, and now we can more effectively teach art projects because of the improved environment. Our staff is very grateful to these individuals. —Helen Higgins, CEO, and Nelia
Mendonca, art center director, Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis (Edited excerpt from recent “Good Words” section of the Corvallis Gazette Times. To view the actual article, visit http://www.gazettetimes.com/articles/2008/04/05/news/people/2gwd01_april5.txt) MIME FACULTY
KUDOS Congratulations to Dr. Kagan
Tumer, who has received a 3-year, single-PI grant from the Air Force Office
of Scientific Research (AFOSR) to investigate the coordination of
multiple autonomous agents (such as robots or unmanned aerial vehicles)
operating in complex environments. Multi-agent coordination systems might be
used, for example, for robotic planetary exploration or, closer to home, for
traffic light coordination to alleviate congestion. Dr. Tumer's AFOSR project
will focus on how successful actions taken by individual agents within
multi-agent systems can lead to improved overall system performance and how to
"reward" individual agents' successful actions. In the human context,
an analogous reward scenario might be a company's bestowal of stock options on
individual workers whose productivity significantly forwards company goals. Now you

DOWNLOADING POLICIES FROM OSU VALLEY LIBRARY: REMINDER AND CAUTION. OSU Libraries
subscribes to over 30,000 electronic journals and databases to support you at
Oregon State University. These include the IEEE Electronic Library, the ACM
Digital Library, and the journals of the ASCE and ASME. You are welcome to
use these resources for your classes and research. However, these
resources come with certain limitations. In general, users are authorized to
display, print, download or copy a reasonable portion of licensed electronic
resources. For journals, this is typically 1–2 articles. For books,
this is typically one chapter. If you need an entire journal
issue (e.g., a special "theme" issue), please contact the library and
we will see if we can arrange for special permission to use the entire issue.
Publishers do not allow systematic or substantial printing, copying, or
downloading of electronic resources (such as entire journal issues or books)
via any method including robots, scripts, agents, or other automatic
downloading tools. Systematic downloading of articles is in violation of the
license agreements signed by Oregon State University and may result in the loss
of access to the journal for all of OSU. Recently, we have had several
instances where library users have violated these terms by systematically
downloading hundreds of articles. This systematic downloading resulted in the
loss of access to the journals for a period ranging from one hour to one
day. Repeat offenses could result in the permanent loss of access to the
journal for all of OSU due to these license violations. DON’T DO IT!! If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact Laurel Kristick (Laurel.Kristick@oregonstate.edu,
737-7276) or Margaret Mellinger (Margaret.Mellinger@oregonstate.edu,
