first place in the Old Guard Technical Poster Competition with her research poster
on micro/nano surface pool boiling for advanced
cooling (currently in the display
case on the 100-level of Dearborn Hall); Bryan
O'Halloran, Evan
DeBlander, and Eric Hyde took second place in the "Mars Rocks" Student
Design Competition for their R134a robot; Tim
Roberson, Aaron Wilburn, Aaron Kravitz, and Tristan Lee placed in the "Mars
Rocks" Student Design Competition for their Beaver Tracks robot; Tim Tunnermann competed
in the Radio Controlled Micro Baja Car Competition and will no doubt be back

president) and Ryan Spies helped the
OSU ASME student chapter win an award for greatest number of chapter attendees. And a special thank you to Douglas Van Bossuyt, Dr. Joe Zaworski, and Dr. Irem Tumer who helped organize the
students and bring them to the event—the group also won an award for longest distance
