Fair Happens This Wednesday, Oct 21 About to enter the job market (or
are you there already)? Looking for an engineering internship? Interested in
learning about a wide range of engineering organizations, networking with
industry representatives, practicing your professional communication skills,
making an impression on potential employers? Or do you just want to find out
what career fairs are all about? If the answer to any of these questions is
“Yes,” be sure to attend the OSU Fall Engineering Career Fair, which runs from 11
am to 4 pm on Wednesday, Oct 21, at the CH2M Hill Alumni Center
(across from Gill Coliseum). For a listing of companies attending the fair, the

Important Registration Information The FE exam is a
comprehensive exam of engineering principles in addition to taking a portion of
the exam on your specified discipline.
You MUST take the FE exam if you are interested in eventually becoming a
Professional Engineer (PE). If you are
interested in taking the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam this spring (April
2010), please be aware that you must
register ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 1st, 2009.
Information can be found here. A review will be held for the
FE exam during Winter Term here at OSU.
Registration for the review will occur starting December 2009. Those who
take the FE review course have a near 100% pass rate on the exam. Find more info about the FE Review here. Further information will be
available in the coming weeks. Please be aware that registering for the review course
DOES NOT register you for the FE exam, AND conversely, registering for the exam
DOES NOT register you for the review course. They are independent registrations. If you have any questions,
please email the OSU IIE FE Review Chairs Brent Hughes or James Ralstin. CALENDAR OF EVENTS [back to top] STUDENT

previous postings, visit e-bulletin archives GEAR UP TO CHUCK A PUMPKIN! ASME
will be holding a Pumpkin Chuckin’ Event on Friday, October 30th,from 2 to 5 pm (location TBD; stay tuned). Build a device
and bring it to the event to be judged on design and ability to hit a target 50
yards away. It must be no larger than 6x6x6 feet in size. (If it is a throwing
device and the arm extends beyond this that is fine.) The device *cannot* use
gas-powered engines, compressed air, or any other explosion type propellant.
Safety is the first concern of this event. If the device is deemed unsafe than
it will not be allowed to throw a pumpkin, but will be judged by design alone.
Contestants can bring up to five pumpkins and there is no
limitations on pumpkin size.
First, second, and third-place prizes will be awarded. The location of the event will be announced
soon. Please contact ASME chair Matt
Chiasson with any questions. SCHOLARSHIPS, FELLOWSHIPS, AND
