Anthony has completed a senior design project entitled "Audio Learning Device" and an undergraduate honors thesis entitled "The Effects of Contraction on Ultrasonic Imaging of Skeletal Muscle in Vivo." Anthony will be attending The Ohio State University School of Medicine on scholarship.

Kristy is completing the Human Factors Undergraduate Honors Program and her honors thesis is entitled "Human Factors Usability Toolkit." Her senior design project is entitled "Ergonomics Analysis of a Delphi Assembly Task." While maintaining academic excellence, Kristy is also employed with Adroit Systems and is a special service employee of Logicon Technical Services. Kristy has accepted a scholarship to pursue graduate studies in Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech.

Richard is majoring in Computer Engineering and Engineering Physics and plans to pursue graduate studies. He participates in the Honors Program and co-ops at WPAFB Air Force Research Labs conducting research in the area of Gallium-Arsenide Semiconductors.

Chris is majoring in Computer Science with a business concentration. He continues to work with auto repair shops troubleshooting automotive electrical problems. Chris plans to develop software and hardware to allow an interface between a personal computer and automotive electrical systems to acquire and transmit data over the Internet; thus allowing engine performance, anti-lock brake, or electronic transmission specialists to diagnose problems remotely.

Brad is also an accomplished musician and plays in a local band. We are pleased that he has chosen to continue his studies in the Fall at Wright State. He will be a graduate teaching assistant in the Electrical Engineering Department.

Dennis has accepted a fellowship at The Ohio State University where he plans to pursue M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and expand his knowledge base in wide-band-gap semiconductor materials.

Dora continued to excel academically in her studies at Wright State. Her materials engineering professors think very highly of her and she has consistently produced quality course work. Dora is a member of Tau Beta Pi, Treasurer of Alpha Sigma Mu, and President of the Wright State Student Chapter of ASM/TMS. During her studies at Wright State Dora has worked as a co-op student at the Air Force Research Laboratory.

Athletically, Dora has a number of Taekwondo titles to her name. In the black belt heavy weight division, Dora is the 1995 National champion, the 1995 National Collegiate Champion representing Wright State, the 1996 bronze medal winner at the World Collegiate Champion-ships representing Wright State and the United States, and the 1999 National Champion. Currently, Dora is a Taekwondo and a cardio-kickboxing instructor. She is presently attempting to qualify for the 2000 Olympic Taekwondo team.

Through his hard work and academic achievements, Steve has enjoyed scholarship support from Wright State sources throughout his academic career, which he will continue at Wright State as a graduate student. Steve will begin his graduate research this summer studying the unsteady aerodynamics of gas turbine compressors in collaboration with the Compressor-Aero Air Force Research Laboratory. This research builds on Steve’s senior design project of designing a low-speed axial flow compressor research facility for Wright State.

The Order of the Engineer, (OOE) is an organization which promotes professionalism among engineers and graduates of accredited engineering programs.

The next induction ceremony will be held on Friday, June 11, at 7 p.m. in the Student Union Multipurpose Room. Seniors, graduate students, alumni, and faculty are encouraged to keep this date open and to register and participate.

The $10 registration fee covers the cost of membership and the ring. Registration forms have been sent to students’ home addresses and the registration deadline is May 21.

The College of Engineering and Computer Science Design Clinic Program provides our undergraduate students with real-world industry consulting experience.

Design Clinic participants receive design course and/or technical elective credit in their program of study. Participation also enhances employment opportunities upon graduation by providing relevant industry experience, faculty and industry references, technical team experience, and knowledge of positions which might be available in the companies sponsoring the student projects.

In order to participate in the program, students are required to work as part of a team for three consecutive quarters, starting in fall 1999, on an industry-sponsored project. Students will enroll for four credit hours each quarter (Fall ‘99, Winter ‘00, Spring ‘00) for a total of 12 credit hours.

Each Design Clinic team will have two advisors—one from the College faculty and one from the sponsoring company.

Participants must meet the following minimum requirements:

• 140 credit hours completed in program of study prior to the start of fall quarter or plan to graduate prior to June 2001
• Cannot be graduating before June 2000
• GPA of at least 2.5

Students wishing to participate in Design Clinic may obtain an application form in the Dean’s Office, 405 Russ.

To discover more about the Design Clinic, contact the chair of your department or Dean Brandeberry.

The Ohio Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) is a society dedicated to making undergraduate students and working engineers aware of the advantages of being a licensed professional engineer and preparing them for the examinations that are required.  In the Fall of 1999, the WSU chapter of OSPE will be offering many services to the student population to further our goals.

OSPE will be providing industry tours to local companies.  These tours provide contact with practicing engineers, which will help you when looking for co-op opportunities or permanent employment.  These tours will also emphasize the importance and benefits of being a professional engineer.  These benefits include:

• larger salaries

• more influence

• social and economic advancement

• other more subtle benefits.

This coming fall we are anticipating visits from speakers from OSPE national office who will be speaking on the "Benefits of being a licensed professional engineer."  We will also be hosting several companies hoping to hire young engineers. We hope you’ll join us for these events.

If you would like more information about OSPE, contact Charles Crabtree, OPSE WSU Chapter President, Navistar International Transportation Corporation by phone at (937) 345-5132, by FAX at (937) 342-5011, or by E-mail at Charles.Crabtree@navistar.com.
