The ASME team will compete in a national Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) competition in April in San Luis Obispo, Calif., and the SAE team will compete as Car #20 at the SAE West race in Fontana, Calif., in June 2006. The ASME competition’s design component, sprint and 40-mile endurance races challenge students to design and build a sleek, lightweight vehicle. Professor Chris Jenkins, HPV project advisor, says, “National competitions like HPV allow MSU students to compete directly with students from other top engineering programs FALL 2005 in the country. The benefits include better engineering graduates who have increased awareness of transportation alternatives.” The SAE club is building on last year’s organizing and fundraising activities. The dozen or so active members have bought an engine, built a prototype frame and drafted preliminary designs. The Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department is providing students three capstone design/build projects related to SAE club activities. The students’ ability to design and fabricate car parts in their advanced composites course and the projects themselves are possible, thanks in part, to advisor Robb Larson, assistant professor, and Vic Cundy, professor. can be used where data collectors that rely on solar energy are not practical. Scientists have long known that biochemical reactions convert energy, but it is at the cutting edge to find practical ways to harness that energy. One obstacle to using that energy is that microbial fuel cells produce an infinite supply of sustained energy but very little power. To illustrate this dilemma, Lewandowski uses the known analogy of moving rocks. A person can use sustained energy to move a large pile of rocks one by one, but lacks the power to move the pile all at once. To activate the sensors, more power is needed than what can be created continuously. To overcome these obstacles, Lewandowski and Beyenal have collaborated with computer scientists and electrical engineers. Electrical engineers found ways to convert sustained energy to short bursts of power needed to transmit the data, and U.S. Geological Survey experts helped the team use satellite technology to transmit data when it was found that antennas were too cumbersome. Graduate students Allison Rhoads, Avinash Shantaram, Raaja Raajan Angathevar Veluchamy, Enrico Marsili and Joseph Menicucci have worked on the project, but ongoing support through the Undergraduate Scholars Program has also allowed undergraduates Conrad Donovan, Alan Weeden and Jake Wiggs to See “Team” on p. 7 MIKE NOLOP Schultz Wins Red, White and Blue Cycling Championship E MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY Raaja Raajan Angathevar Veluchamy (center), MS candidate in environmental engineering, measures the electrical power generated by a microbial fuel cell that the team operates in the lab while Haluk Beyenal (left) and Zbigniew Lewandowski (right) look on.

Retirements of senior faculty resulted in our hiring eight new faculty members. We attracted high caliber faculty members to carry on our tradition of Dean of the College of Engineering, excellence – they Robert Marley are dedicated to student success as well as pursuing research and industry partnerships. Please see our new faculty bios on page 7. This issue includes our Honor Roll of Donors for the past fiscal year. Your loyalty to the college enables us to make this an ideal learning environment for students. We are grateful to our alumni, friends, corporate and foundation supporters. MSU students phoned engineering and computer science alumni on behalf of the college during September and October of this year, so many of you heard from us then. Some of you will hear from us by mail during November and December. Thank you, again, for your loyalty to the college and for considering our annual call for support. We leverage your undesignated gifts nearly tenfold by matching them with other sources to further enhance our facilities and student resources. I hope you enjoy the details provided in the Newsletter. Space is limited, so we can only provide a glimpse of all the good things happening in the classrooms and labs of Roberts Hall, Cobleigh Hall, the Engineering Physical Sciences Building, and our newest facility, the CFT building south of campus. I encourage you to visit the campus if you can and to stay in touch with the college – we always enjoy hearing from you. Our best to you during this holiday season, Robert Marley, Dean CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU to the following recent faculty retirees, Tom Reihman, William Martindale, and Michael Wells (now an adjunct professor) from Mechanical and Industrial Engineering; and Gary Harkin from Computer Science.

Sobek II, associate professor and graduate program coordinator for the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Montana State University, has been appointed as the College of Engineering’s first Boeing Professor. Sobek will design an undergraduate program to teach engineering students how to work effectively on a multidisciplinary team and help prepare them for work in a global economy. Boeing established the professorship in 1991 with a goal of achieving a $1 million endowment, which the fund reached in 2005. Sobek will serve as Boeing Professor at MSU for a minimum oneyear term, as the program allows rotation within the college. “The Boeing Company is pleased with our longtime association with the College of Engineering,” said Lindsay Anderson, ‘83 ChE, of Boeing. “The work of Dr. Sobek will make the graduates of MSU even more valuable at Boeing and other companies that require well- trained design and manufacturing engineers who can work in a cross-functional environment.” Sobek, who has conducted research on product development practices at two world-class manufacturing firms, earned his doctorate in industrial and operations engineering from the University of Michigan in 1997. “Sobek’s exposure to both industrial and student design processes, his expertise in design theory, methodology and instruction, and his ability to collaborate across traditional program boundaries make him the right person to lead this initiative,” said Marley. Marley said planning will continue through spring 2006, with implementation by fall semester 2006. “The college’s accreditation depends in part on the project’s success. Having a multidisciplinary engineering curriculum will help the college demonstrate that its graduates are capable of working in a multidisciplinary environment,” he said. 2 Honor Roll of Donors Fiscal Year 2004-2005 We would like to thank all those alumni, friends and corporations who generously donated Honor Roll of Donors to the College of Engineering during this fiscal year (July 1, 2004-June 30, 2005).

Sherwin wins AFCEA Scholarship David Sherwin of Bozeman, ’05 EE, received the General Emmett Paige Scholarship from the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association. The $2,000 competitive scholarship is awarded to outstanding students majoring in science or engineering. Sherwin’s prior military service, current membership in the Montana Army National Guard and his full-time status as an engineering student qualified him for the scholarship. 6 Faculty Highlights Faculty Highlights Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Mechanical and Industrial Engineering welcomes a new department head and three assistant professors. Chris Jenkins, department head, established the Compliant Structures Laboratory at the South Dakota School of Mines, a nationally recognized leader in ultra-lightweight and flexible structure technology. Jenkins is a registered engineer in three states and an associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Sarah Codd, Stephen Sofie and Ahsan Mian join the faculty. Codd, co-director of the Magnetic Resonance Microscopy Laboratory, joined the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering as an assistant research professor in 2002. She continues her affiliation with the Center for Biofilm Engineering. Codd earned a doctorate in physics from the University of Kent at Canterbury, UK, in 1996. Mian was a visiting faculty member at Wayne State University and spent two years as a designer for an international corporation’s automotive electronics division in Dearborn, Mich. Mian is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Society for Experimental Mechanics. He earned his doctorate in mechanical engineering from Auburn University in 2000. Sofie is an expert in innovative ceramic processing, with applications ranging from medical ultrasound imaging to solid oxide fuel cells. Sofie studied solid oxide fuel cell systems at the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland prior to joining MSU and earned his doctorate in materials science and engineering from the University of Washington in 2002. New Faculty 7 contribute. Students have become familiar with the tribulations of field research during the project. In one instance, the device was stolen from Roskie Creek when it was left overnight. In another instance, students gathering satellite data in Hyalite at midnight were questioned by police because of their “suspicious” behavior. Environmental engineers are likely to find microbial fuel cells particularly useful. Alerting Homeland Security officials of a chemical attack on drinking water sources or measuring heavy metals in streams are among applications that researchers envision. In addition, the fuel cells themselves are environmentally friendly because they use naturally occurring bacteria and, in certain applications, eliminate the hazards of toxic chemicals that traditional batteries contain. Lewandowski predicts that advances in nanotechnology will make it possible to develop smaller devices that use less energy, further enhancing the practicality of using microbial fuel cells. Micron Scholars’ Dinner at Bozeman Chemical and Biological Engineering Two assistant professors, Brent Peyton and Ross Carlson, join the Chemical and Biological Engineering faculty. Peyton spent eight years as a faculty member at Washington State University where he served as associate director of the Center for Multiphase Environmental Research and won WSU’s department of chemical engineering’s Researcher of the Year Award five times. He also spent five years with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Peyton holds three U.S. patents, one for a biomonitoring device and the other two for metals removal and analysis methods. Peyton earned a doctorate in chemical engineering from MSU in 1992. Ross Carlson continues at the CBE, where he investigates surface coatings strategies to retard or prevent biofilm formation on medical devices such as catheters. Carlson joined the CBE in 2004 as an assistant research professor following a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, where he earned his doctorate in chemical engineering in 2003. Civil Engineering Dean Peterson and Whitney Lutey, assistant professors in construction engineering technology, join the Civil Engineering Department. Peterson spent 26 years with the Corps of Engineers St. Paul District, where he served as the construction area engineer for the northern half of the upper Mississippi River. He oversaw the $300 million rehabilitation of 13 upstream locks and dams, environmental restoration projects and EPA Superfund projects. Peterson earned his master’s degree in geotechnical engineering from Colorado State University in 1980. Lutey is a partner in a local construction company and spent more than six years with Hensel Phelps Construction Company. She earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in construction engineering from MSU in 1996 and 1997. “Team” from p. 1 Carson Drew, senior in ECE, his guest Kristen Smith, and Michael Oudshoorn, department head of Computer Science; were among those who enjoyed the Micron Scholars’ Dinner, held October 15 in Bozeman. Micron currently awards 12 annual scholarships to juniors and seniors majoring in computer science or Electrical and Computer Engineering. MSU’s COE is a “key school” for Micron Technology of Boise, Idaho. Phil Stewart Named Director From top to bottom: Jenkins, Codd, Sofie, Mian, Peyton, Carlson, Peterson and Lutey Phil Stewart, chemical and biological engineering, has been named director of the Center for Biofilm Engineering after a year as interim director. Stewart joined the MSU chemical engineering faculty in 1991, and has since served as a researcher, deputy director and executive committee member of the center. He invites researchers from around the world to visit the center to learn biofilm methods and analytical skills, share expertise and conduct collaborative research. Non-Profit Organization U.S. Postage PAID Office of the Dean College of Engineering MSU/Bozeman Bozeman, MT 59717 Permit No. 69 Bozeman, MT 59715 COE Roberts Hall Renovated COE’s tradition of excellence has long been symbolized by Roberts Hall, the college’s home since 1923. Roberts’ stately entrance is where parents and freshmen engineering students first enter COE and eventually pose for graduation photos. Thanks to COE and MSU’s Office of Facilities Services (OFS), the entrance has been renovated to highlight its historical character. University alumni, other donors and MSU’s Photo by Stephen Hunts maintenance budget covered the costs of new sidewalks, refurbished lamps outdoors, and traditional painting, furnishings and exhibit cases indoors. The lobby’s intimate seating area provides a short-term landing place for visitors and students. The renovation included making the west corridor of Roberts’ first floor the new home of the Montana Professional Engineers Hall of Fame. Plaques honor engineers whose careers were significant to the history and development of the state of Montana. “Hall of Famers” so honored include John H. Morrison, Ben F. Hurlbut, Leland J. Walker, Paul Schmechel and Harold S. Hanson. Walter Banziger, university architect, specified traditionallystyled, energy efficient light fixtures for coffered ceilings in the foyer and second floor hallway. The muted yellow and matte ivory paint scheme reflects traditional colors and links the lobby’s furnishings to architectural elements, such as Greek column capitals formed in plaster. OFS chose the colors after workers found only bright yellow paint in scraping through approximately a dozen paint layers on various surfaces throughout the renovated area. The final color is a toned-down version of the original. Roberts Hall was built in 1923 at a cost of more than $377,000 and named in honor of William Milnor Roberts (1810-1881), one of the country’s most notable civil engineers. Technology FALL / 2005 COE Complex Goes Wireless Wireless Internet access can make it easier for students to work on group projects and for faculty to unleash their creative teaching skills. The combined efforts of the COE and MSU’s Information Technology Center have expanded wireless access throughout the engineering complex to improve learning and teaching. The new system, operational since August 2005, gives students a reason to bring their laptop computers to campus. Students will find it easier to keep up with homework, study for exams and work in small groups. Instructors can more easily design interesting class activities. More wireless access also makes classroom configuration more flexible and lets students use complex software packages and lab equipment outside of lecture halls, where large class sizes can make hands-on instruction impractical. 8
