This Week
Tues May 27: “The Just Classroom.” 4–5 pm,
MU 206. This conversation, facilitated by DPD Director Susan Shaw, encourages
faculty and TAs to examine how they can model justice through their teaching.
We will address such issues as power arrangements in the classroom,
faculty–student and student–student relationships, student and faculty
behavior, assignments and assessment, and institutional issues.
Tues May 27: Intel Info
Session. 6 pm, KEC 1003. Sponsored
by ASME. Pizza and beverages provided.
Wed May 28: Last Minute Visit From Solarworld. 6
pm, KEC 1001. Join representatives from SolarWorld, one of the largest solar
energy businesses in the world, to learn more about job opportunities within
Oregon at SolarWorld's new plant in Hillsboro, Oregon. All engineering
disciplines invited and welcomed! Company
Info: SolarWorld’s family of companies are dedicated exclusively to the
business of solar energy, combining all stages of the solar photovoltaic (PV)
value chain, from the raw material silicon to turn-key solar power plants.
SolarWorld operates production facilities in the USA and in Germany as well as
sales offices around the world. In 2007, SolarWorld AG acquired the Komatsu
silicon wafer production facility in Hillsboro, OR (near Portland) for $40
million and is currently investing over $400 million to renovate the 480,000
square foot facility into a world-class manufacturing plant that will convert
raw silicon into up to 500 MW worth of PV wafers and cells every year. The
new Hillsboro facility will come on line in fall 2008 and it will employ up to
1,000 people by the end of the ramp up phase in 2009. The Hillsboro factory
will provide enough PV cells to serve the entire North and South American
market, including the expanded module production in Camarillo, as well as
exports to Europe and Asia. Web: http://www.solarworld-usa.com/solarworld.147.0.html
