Subject: [ugrads] Need volunteers for URI Engineering Challenge projects for
 Middle School & High School students
Message-ID: <4991BE7C.8020205@ele.uri.edu>

Dear Engineering students,

Every year, the RI SMILE program hosts an open-ended "Engineering Design 
Challenge Weekend" competition at URI for local middle school students 
or high school students. SMILE (Science and Math Investigative Learning 
Experiences) is an after-school science and math club for middle school 
and high school students all over the state of RI, 
http://www.uri.edu/smile/.
Its purpose "is to increase the number of underrepresented minority and 
educationally disadvantaged students who graduate from high school 
qualified to go on to higher education and pursue career in science, 
math, engineering and health professions."

In the attachment, Lacey Schlachter is asking all URI engineering 
students to volunteer a few hours of their time on
March 6-7 (MIddle School Engineering Challenge) or
March 27-28 (High School Engineering Challenge)
to serve as a Mentor or Consultant for a team of 4-8 teenagers, helping 
them think through their design. This year's projects focus on Cranes, 
Magnetic Levitation, or Remote Operated Vehicles but you don't need to 
be a mechanical engineer to have more than adequate background and 
skills to help - remember, you know a lot more than 8th graders! All you 
need are your engineering problem solving skills - i.e. how to think 
through a problem and brainstorm potential solutions.

Often, the middle and high school students are interested in talking 
with you and finding out why you decided to study engineering. Some have 
never met an engineer.

If you can volunteer some time to this very exciting and rewarding 
event, please contact Ms. Lacey Schlachter and plan to attend one of the 
Mentor Training Workshops on Feb. 23 or 25th. Additional information is 
provided in the attachment.

regards,
Prof. Boudreaux-Bartels

Message-ID: <4995D9DA.4090109@ele.uri.edu>

Dear Biomedical, Computer and Electrical Engineering Students,

I'm trying to gauge student interest in summer classes. The following 
courses are tentatively scheduled to be offered this summer, assuming 
there's sufficient enrollment:

Course Code     Instructor(s)    (Summer Session I, II or III)
------------------------------------------------------------------
ELE 212         Swaszek            (TBA)
ELE 215         Swaszek            (TBA)
ELE 314         Boudreaux-Bartels  (I)
ELE 325         Vincent            (TBA)
ELE 341 and 342 Davis and TA       (III)
ELE 436         Kumaresan          (I)

It would help with planning if you would let me know the following 
information. (Don't respond to this listserv, rather send me an email 
directly: boud at ele.uri.edu)

(1) Which, if any, of the above courses are you seriously considering 
taking?
(2) Are there other ELE or BME courses not on this list that you would 
like to take this summer? If so, what are those courses?
(3) Are you available during both Summer session I (May 26-June 26) and 
Summer session II (June 29-July 31)? Summer session III is (May 26-July 31).
(4) Your name

thanks,

Message-ID: <499F0CCF.7090806@ele.uri.edu>

To all URI Engineering Students:

	The URI chapter of Tau Beta Pi, the national engineering honor society, 
is pleased to present an Engineering Futures Workshop on the topic of 
People Skills on Saturday, February 28, from 9 am to noon in Kelley 
Hall, room K102.  Coffee, tea, bagels, and pastries will be provided at 
9 am.  This workshop is free of charge for all URI engineering students.

	If you plan to attend this workshop, please send an e-mail RSVP to 
vaccaro at ele.uri.edu.

	The Tau Beta Pi Engineering Futures Program was established to provide 
interpersonal skills for engineering students. This is accomplished 
through the presentation of sessions on campus by alumnus Tau Bates who 
are trained in the materials. The Engineering Futures Program received 
national recognition as winner of the 2007 Excellence in Engineering 
Education Collaboration Award.

     	The speaker will be Dr. Stephen Kramer, Engineering Manager at 
Pratt & Whitney, a United Technologies Company, East Hartford, CT.


Here is a description of the sessions:


People Skills Module 1: Describing Problems

    Learn how to describe problems in a direct, specific, and 
non-punishing manner and start problem solving that gets the problem 
solved and maintains relationships with others.


People Skills Module 2: Motivation Problems

    Learn how to motivate people through the use of consequences, both 
natural (consequences which happen without effort on their part) and 
imposed (where someone needs to take an action to make the consequence 
happen). Also learn how to set up and follow plans once a solution is 
agreed upon to help ensure that the problem is permanently solved.

Hi,

The ECBE department still needs 4 more student volunteers for the URI 
student phone-a-thon. During the phone-a-thon current engineering 
students phone prospective engineering students to encourage them to 
attend URI. Usually, prospective students like to speak with current 
students to find out "from the source" what classes are like, in 
addition to info on dorms, dining hall meals, etc. More info is below 
and training will be provided.

If you can volunteer, lease let me know by Wed (2/25).

thanks,
Prof. BB

Subject: [ugrads] Reminder: engineering workshop this Saturday
Message-ID: <49A5EBEF.3070508@ele.uri.edu>

To all URI Engineering Students:

     The URI chapter of Tau Beta Pi, the national engineering honor 
society, is pleased to present an Engineering Futures Workshop on the 
topic of "People Skills" this Saturday, February 28, from 9 am to noon 
in Kelley Hall, room K102.  Coffee, tea, bagels, and pastries will be 
provided at 9 am.  All URI engineering students are invited to attend 
this workshop free of charge.

     The Tau Beta Pi Engineering Futures Program was established to 
provide interpersonal skills for engineering students. This is 
accomplished through the presentation of sessions on campus by alumnus 
Tau Bates who are trained in the materials. The Engineering Futures 
Program received national recognition as winner of the 2007 Excellence 
in Engineering Education Collaboration Award.

         The speaker will be Dr. Stephen Kramer, Engineering Manager at 
Pratt & Whitney, a United Technologies Company, East Hartford, CT.


Here is a description of the sessions:


People Skills Module 1: Describing Problems

    Learn how to describe problems in a direct, specific, and 
non-punishing manner and start problem solving that gets the problem 
solved and maintains relationships with others.


People Skills Module 2: Motivation Problems

    Learn how to motivate people through the use of consequences, both 
natural (consequences which happen without effort on their part) and 
imposed (where someone needs to take an action to make the consequence 
happen). Also learn how to set up and follow plans once a solution is 
agreed upon to help ensure that the problem is permanently solved.

The summer is a great opportunity to build your resume and earn some  
money.  Two internship opportunities are open for the summer at the  
company where I work.  Feel free to contact me or the email address in  
the attachment for further information.
