Subject: [ugrads] Entering in hours over the summer

Hi All:

It's been brought to my attention by the Payroll office, that students in
this department are consistently entering in hours for future dates. This
is not allowed! Please fill out a time sheet and keep track of your daily
hours. What I recommend is entering in your hours at the end of each week
(Fridays after 4:00 p.m.). If you think you will forget, then enter in
your hours at the end of each day. Whatever works best for you. Then on
every other Monday, I will go into the system and approve your hours if
correct.

Also, we have been processing numerous correction forms as well. Please
remember, this only makes more work for you, me and the Payroll Office.
It's very crucial that you get your hours in on time.

If you have any questions, please feel free to see me.

Thank you for your help and cooperation.

Meredith

Subject: [ugrads] ELE 331 - ecampus not always recognizing Electronics I
	pre-req
Message-ID: <4A54DEE4.1000101@ele.uri.edu>

Dear Electrical Engineering Students,

If you successfully completed Electronics I, but are having trouble 
registering for ELE 331, please contact the course instructor, Prof. 
Mardix, to request a permission number.

In the past few years, Electronics I lecture has been offered as either 
ELE 341 or ELE 342. ELE 331 requires Electronics I as a pre-req. 
Unfortunately, eCampus only accepts the ELE 341 course code as pre-req 
for ELE 331. This will be corrected in the Fall.

regards,
Prof. Boudreaux-Bartels

Dear Electrical Engineering Students,

My bad. Please ignore previous msg. It is PHY 341 pre-req students are 
having trouble with, not ELE 341, new course code for Electronics I.

My apologies for the confusion.

I am writing remind you of a potential scholarship opportunity for your 
students that have achieved a junior level standing by the fall of 2009.
The New England Healthcare Engineers? Society (NEHES) was founded in 
1958 as a professional society for individuals responsible for the 
environment of care in the delivery of patient care.  The goals of the 
society are as follows:
o	To promote better patient care by taking advantage of the latest 
developments in healthcare facility management, design, operation and 
maintenance techniques.
o	To promote mutual exchanges of technical assistance, ideas, and 
experience among members and other healthcare engineering professionals.
o	To promote the professional engineers through continuing education.
For more information about NEHES, please visit http://nehes.org/.
A number of years ago the Society decided that to help fulfill its 
goals, a scholarship program would be established to encourage college 
students in degree programs that may lead to a career in the design, 
engineering, or management of Healthcare Facilities.

These degree programs include engineering, architecture, bio-medical 
engineering and facility management. The scholarships are awarded 
annually to students from the New England state which hosts the 
society?s annual conference. This year that conference will take place 
in September in Warwick, RI at the Crown Plaza Hotel. The scholarships 
will be awarded the evening of Tuesday, September 29, at our Annual 
Banquet. There are two $2000 scholarships to be awarded.

All that is necessary for a student to apply is a brief letter from the 
student and a second letter of recommendation from either their student 
advisor or program chairperson. The student?s letter should briefly (1 
to 2 pages maximum) include some basic relevant personal background 
information along with their current educational and career goals. The 
letter of recommendation should attest to the student?s character, 
integrity, and demonstrated desire to achieve their career goals. 
Address both letters to me at the address above

Please contact me if you have any questions. Our goal would be to 
receive all applications by August 31, 2009. Successful candidates will 
be notified by mid-September, and are expected to attend the banquet to 
receive their scholarship.

Sincerely,



Jona Roberts, CHFM
Scholarship Chairperson

Hi everyone,

The annual meeting of the New England Healthcare Engineers?
Society has been rotated among the 6 New England states.
In 2003 it was held in Newport, RI. They usually give
scholarships to undergraduate students in the local colleges
and has a nice award ceremony at the annual meeting.
In 2003 two of our BME students, Ellaine Abueg and John
DiCecco received this award. The top 8 BME juniors based
on GPA are listed below (according to a list from Faye):

Dunne, Andrew, 3.94
Alberg, Timothy, 3.84
Ausfresser, Gabriel, 3.67
Rafferty, Kyle, 3.59
Dulude, Courtney, 3.49
Ruggieri, Tonya, 3.37
Dumas, Amber, 3.30

Gab Ausfresser and Tonya Ruggiere were working in our
BME lab last month. Both did an outstanding job. They
developed an environment control system for a person
with visual impairment. The system was successfully
installed in the individual's home in Newport last month.
I could certainly write something to support their
nomination. Tim Alberg is doing a summer internship in
Dr. Jacqueline Webb's lab studying cichlid fishes with
MRI and CT imaging. Please share any information about the
BME junior listed above or other junior/senior students.
Thanks.

Best regards,
Ying

Dear Colleagues,

Freshmen engineering students will be moving into the 2 COE LLC (Living 
Learning Community) dorms as follows:

Saturday, Sept. 5th - Tucker Hall
Sunday,   Sept. 6th - Merrow Hall

Dean Ray Wright is requesting that Engineering faculty and students 
volunteer to help with greeting new engineering students and their 
parents or with moving student stuff from family car to dorm room.

If you can volunteer a few hours of your time on either of these days, 
please let me know.

thanks,
