Department News
Many of you already know that our friend and colleague Dr. C. Robert Baillod
passed away last Spring. Bob’s vision, hard work, and self sacrifice helped build
the department into a nationally ranked program. I was lucky to take some water
and wastewater classes from Bob back in the late 1970s and his lectures always
excited my curiosity and made me interested in the subject matter. His memorial
is described in the newsletter.
Thanks to all of your support and the hard work performed by the students,
the concrete canoe and steel bridge teams continue their winning ways. The
concrete canoe team placed first in the regional competition and third in the
national competition this past year. The steel bridge team placed first in the
regional competition and fourth in the national competition. Congratulations
to both teams!
This past year we have added three new faculty members into the department:
Dr. Qingli Dai, Dr. Pasi Lautala, and Dr. Jeffrey Lidicker. Dr. Lautala and Dr. Lidicker
are a part of the Michigan Tech Strategic Faculty Hiring Initiative (SFHI) which
focused on transportation. In addition, we are in the midst of hiring four new faculty
members who will begin this Fall, details of which will follow in the next newsletter.
In the Fall of 2011, we inducted eight new members into the Academy of Civil
and Environmental Engineers. The 107 members in the Academy are some of
the most successful of our over 8,000 graduates. The next induction ceremony
is scheduled for September 2013 and we are looking forward to honoring the
next induction class.

When I was an undergraduate at Michigan Tech from 1977 – 1980 the
camaraderie among students was very strong. In fact, this was one of the
qualities I enjoyed most about being at Tech and I am happy to report that
many of our current students still experience this closeness with their fellow
classmates. The only thing that I felt was missing at that time was more rapport
and interaction with the department. Starting this next academic year, I will begin
regular meetings with all the undergraduates in CEE to keep them informed of
what the department is doing, provide professional advice, and hear from the
students how we can improve the department as a whole. I will let you know
how this goes in the next newsletter.
Sincerely yours,
David Hand

In Memory of Bob Baillod
A little over one year ago, the department lost a
long-time colleague and friend, Charles Robert
“Bob” Baillod. Bob was a faculty member at
Michigan Tech from 1968 until his retirement in 2007
but was best known for his service to the department
as chair from 1991-2005. During his time as chair,
the department made a great deal of progress in
building the environmental engineering program to
become one of the top in the nation. Bob initiated
a capital campaign that immensely improved the
civil engineering laboratory facilities. He was also
instrumental in the development of the building plans for the Dow Environmental
Sciences and Engineering Building , which opened in 1998. Another aspect of
his role at the University was the proposal for the Great Lakes Research Center,
completed in 2012. Bob also took a personal interest in the student concrete
canoe team, acting as team advisor and traveling with the group to regional and
national competitions.
Bob was also a well-published researcher in the areas of water and wastewater
engineering and was active in professional service with the Accreditation Board
for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and the Association of Environmental
Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP). During his 34 years of community
service on the Portage Lake Water and Sewage Authority Board, he provided
expertise in wastewater treatment, which included the design of the new
treatment facility to benefit the local community.
. . . One thing in particular that stands out about Bob’s time in the department was
his commitment to continuous improvement. We are surrounded by his legacy in
so many ways and want to ensure that his dedication to the department lives on.
We have initiated a fund in his honor to allow us to make improvements to our
laboratory teaching equipment. Please help us continue Bob’s legacy by directing
your next donation to the Bob Baillod Memorial Equipment Endowment.

Research Awards
NSF CAREER AWARD
Associate Professor Veronica W. Griffis was awarded a CAREER proposal,
one of the most prestigious and sought after awards offered by the National
Science Foundation. Her proposal is titled “Flood Risk Projections with Climatic
Variation and Human-Induced Shifts in Hydrologic Response.”
A large portion of the US population live in flood-prone areas, many of which
experience devastating flood problems with increased frequency. The current
flood risk estimation method used by insurance and governmental agencies
is based on static estimates and does not take into account the effects of
urbanization and climate change. Dr. Griffis’ objective is to create a statistical
method and framework to project flood risk into the future by accounting
for the impacts of natural climatic variability, potential climate change, and
impending land use changes. This research will result in the creation of a
physical, causal-based statistical framework for flood risk projection. These
research objectives will be achieved through a combination of statistical models
based on observed data and physically-based hydrologic models used to
simulate flood series under future scenarios.
This project offers a significant outreach component that will result in the
increased interest of K-12 students in science and engineering and also build
awareness of the consequences of human activities on hydrologic processes.
In particular, this project will offer field trips for area ninth grade students, lesson
plans and an interactive web module for high school teachers, and activities
to further encourage STEM outreach led by graduate and undergraduate
students. Finally, the project will help to develop research themes to integrate
into undergraduate water resources coursework.

GRADUATE RESEARCH AWARD
Rosa Flores Rangel, an environmental engineering doctoral candidate, was
recognized for her research in the area of atmospheric chemistry. Rosa
will complete her degree in the summer of 2013. Her research involves
development of novel analytical methods to improve the understanding of
atmospheric particles. Her research crosses several disciplines and has
regional and global implications.

Professors of Practice faculty and department alums, l-r: Mike Drewyor ‘72, Bill Leder ‘68, Bill Baxandall ‘56
Giving Back – 120+ Years of Engineering Experience
CEE students have learned from the
120 years of combined experience
that our three Professors of Practice
have to offer. Bill Leder, P.E. and past
Principal with Lea+Elliot, has experience
with transportation and airport design;
Bill Baxandall is the past owner of a
water treatment company in Alaska and
designer of water treatment systems;
and Mike Drewyor, P.E. and PS, is
the past owner of a full-service civil
engineering and surveying firm. The
years of professional experience they
bring to the table has been an integral
part of the capstone senior design
experience in CEE. The students have
benefited immeasurably from their realworld, practical experience.
Bill Leder and Bill Baxandall have
worked on projects that benefit the local
communities and park systems, including
a recent project titled “Complete
Streets for the City of Hancock,”
“Bicycle Network Plan for the City of
Hancock,” and “Floating Dock System
for Passage Island Cove - Isle Royale
National Park.” The class for the Isle
Royale project consisted of six civil and
six environmental engineering students
forming three multidisciplinary teams.
The scope included environmental
assessment, design, construction, and
operation and maintenance. Funding
and logistical support for a three-day
field trip was provided by the Isle
Royale Boaters Association, a major
stakeholder. A presentation and final
report was provided to the client, the
National Park Service.
The scope of the Hancock project
involved planning, preliminary design,
and cost estimates for sidewalk and
bicycle networks, as well as the
preparation of the Complete Streets
Planning and Design Handbook.
The students worked with the City
of Hancock Planning Commission
throughout the semester and made a
public presentation on their final work.
Challenges students faced during the
project included steep grades in the
city and older neighborhoods that do
not meet modern municipal engineering
standards. The teams, advised by Mr.
Leder and Mr. Baxandall, worked on a
similar project, “Complete Streets for
Calumet/Laurium,” during the 2013
spring semester.
Some of the projects advised by Mike
Drewyor have been a collaborative effort
with Kiewit, Inc. Project engineers from
Kiewit have worked with Mr. Drewyor
to provide students with insight into
Kiewit’s past or current projects, ranging
from hydropower turbine installations
in northern Ontario to a bascule bridge
in Miami, Florida. This corporate
involvement adds significant value to
the learning outcomes of the senior
design projects, and we look forward
to continuing this partnership. Kiewit
project facilitators include Jim Morrison,
Tim Wellert, AJ Booker, and Russ Lutch.
If you or your company is interested
in developing a relationship with the
department to assist with future senior
design projects, please contact the
CEE Department Chair, David Hand
(dwhand@mtu.edu).
