E MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY / BOZEMAN ngineering First Time, First Finish for MSU's Concrete Canoe Team Last spring, Civil Engineering students placed first overall against teams from nine other western colleges in the Pacific Northwest Regional Concrete Canoe Competition. The team name, Golden Stonefly, was inspired by MSU school colors and a Montana fishing fly. The ten-member team represented MSU at the regional competition in Washington State. The students brought home 4 trophies due to a winning oral presentation and a clever design featuring an original transverse and longitudinal rib system. In June, the team advanced to the national canoe competition held in Washington, D.C. The canoe performed well at the national competition, with an 18th place finish. It stood out for its original design and fly fishing theme. Next year’s canoe is expected to outperform the Stonefly with design changes to the hull, mold and concrete mixture.

Goldwater Scholarships. A total of 43 Goldwater Scholarships have been awarded to MSU engineering, math, and science students since the program’s inception. The fund was established in honor of Senator Barry Goldwater to maintain a source of skilled scientists, mathematicians and engineers. Angela Kimmel has been awarded a $7,500 Goldwater Scholarship for 2004-2005. Kimmel is a senior earning a double major in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.

Outstanding engineers between the ages of 30 and 45 were chosen to participate in the U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Symposium. The goal of the symposium was to create a 1 network of skilled engineers where new techniques and approaches are transferred across fields. Shaw, 30, was one of 83 scientists from industry, academia, and government given this honor. All engineers chosen are performing “leading-edge engineering research and technical work,” according to an NAE spokesman. THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING www.coe.montana.edu Dean Robert J.

Dr. Becker’s current research focuses on ways to tap into an unbridled portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. With NSF funding, Becker will explore alternative power sources for submillimeter-wave frequencies. National Science Foundation Awards go to Chemical Engineering Professors Dr. Sarah Codd was awarded the $387,000 NSF Advance Fellowship in recognition of her potential to increase the representation of women in science and engineering. Dr. Joseph Seymour was awarded the $400,000 NSF Faculty Early Career Development Award in support of his career development activities in chemical engineering. Optical Society of America Fellow Award Dr. Joseph Shaw, Associate Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering, was recently named a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA). “Fellow” is a designation recognizing a small fraction of the members, denoting them as leaders in the field of optical research and education. Outstanding Research & Development Partnership Award, 2003 Doug Cairns, Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, and John Mandell, Chemical & Biological Engineering, received the U.S. Department of Energy Wind Energy Program Outstanding Research and Development Partnership Award for 2003. Their award recognizes a track record of excellence in innovation and development of products that advance the state of wind energy technologies. Wolff Holds Endowed Chair in COE The COE has the first fully endowed faculty chair position at MSU, the Gilhousen Chair in Telecommunications, named for Qualcomm co-founder and telecommunications pioneer Klein Gilhousen and his family. Dr. Richard Wolff, former Vice-President and Director of Advanced Network Systems Research at Telcordia Techonologies, holds the Chair. Wolff brings to the position 25 years of experience related to networking and telecommunication systems. Since joining MSU, Wolff has researched ways of using wireless technology for traveler information, high-speed Internet access and data services for Montana’s sparsely populated and geographically dispersed areas. Roberts Hall Renovation The Roberts Hall foyer is under renovation to reveal the rich historic characteristics of the building. Student meeting and study space on the second floor level is being englarged and refurnished. Existing 60’s and 70’s era shop lighting is being replaced with period lighting. Display cases in the area will be used to highlight student and college accomplishments. Roberts Renovation caption Slettens Contribute $1 Million to Establish Engineering Scholarships Bob and Pat Sletten of Great Falls have donated $1 million for student scholarships at MSU. Bob Sletten graduated from MSU in 1956 with a degree in Architectural Engineering. He was awarded an honorary doctorate in 1995. Pat Sletten’s father, Cecil, worked for Montana Power Company for 25 years as an Electrical Engineer. Half of the Sletten’s gift was allocated to establish new endowed scholarships in engineering. A gift of $200,000 established the SlettenThomas Family Electrical Engineering Scholarship. A gift of $300,000 set up an endowment for the Sletten Family Civil Engineering/Construction Engineering Technology Scholarship. Bob Sletten is also the co-chairman of MSU's scholarship campaign, "Putting Students First." Bill Costerton Bids Farewell This spring was Bill Costerton’s last semester as director of the Center for Biofilm Engineering (CBE). Costerton came to MSU in 1993 from Calgary, Alberta, where he held a research chair in Microbiology at the University of Calgary. Costerton's leadership helped the CBE achieve international acclaim. In his retirement, Costerton plans to establish a new biofilm center at the University of Southern California. Bill will continue to be involved in the Industrial Research section of the CBE, where he says, his loyalties will always remain. 95 Robots to Roam Cobleigh Halls Recent scientific advancements such as NASA’s Exploration Rover mission robots (Spirit and Opportunity) on Mars as well as recent popular television series “Robot Wars” have created a surge of interest in robots. Tapping into this enthusiasm, the COE’s Introduction to Electrical Fundamentals Lab (EE101) will teach students to assemble and test the electronic circuit components of their own small autonomous robot vehicle. Nearly 100 freshmen will purchase a speciallydesigned kit containing a custom printed circuit board, a microcomputer chip, motors, wheels, an aluminum chassis, and electronic components. To add the robot framework to 7 the course, instructors built several prototype robots, tested the sample curriculum on a group of students, added a one credit lecture component to EE101, and obtained development funding through the Montana Space Grant Consortium Educational Enhancement Program. Electrical engineering faculty feel the handson experience combined with a new lecture component will give students a solid understanding and interest in the field and will bring talented new students to the electrical engineering program. The Robots had their public debut on campus on October 22, when they “performed” during half-time festivities of the Lady Cats vs. Weber State University volleyball match.
