Engineering Picnic
By Kyle Smith
In September 2003, the college of
engineering held its annual picnic behind Gellersen. After a long day of
classes and winding through the career fair, the engineering picnic was a
nice way to finish off the day. The picnic was a great way to socialize
with classmates and get to know professors outside the classroom. As
usual one found students relieving some stress by playing rousing games of
volleyball. Students cycled in and out between getting hotdogs and
hamburgers freshly made on the grill and socializing with their friends.
A new event at the picnic this year was pie a professor sponsored by the
Society of Women Engineers. During the week prior to the picnic the
ladies had collection jugs, one for Professor Goodman, Professor Schoech,
and Professor Polito. Students put money in the professors jug that they
wanted to see get a pie in the face the most. Professor Schoech from our
own Mechanical Engineering department ended up winning a pie in the
face, but he somehow ended up mysteriously missing when it was time for
the pie, so they had to catch him another time during chapel break. All
in all it was a great picnic with the best thing of all FREE FOOD!

ASME Members Attend RSLS in Madison
By Ryan Merrell
Eight members of the Valpo chapter
of ASME participated in the Regional Student Leadership Seminar (RSLS) in
Madison, Wisconsin. RSLS, held every fall, allows student sections to
attend informational sessions on improving student membership,
participation and the essentials of what makes our ASME chapter run
smoothly. The student members at UW Madison did an incredible job in
organizing this event with campus tours, presenters, and, of course,
wonderful social activities. Unfortunately, we could not meet with Dr.
Sanders, a professor in the Mechanical Engineering department at UWM and
former alumni of Valparaiso University.
These events are a great opportunity
to get off campus, meet other students from different schools across the
Midwest, and have a great weekend. The next major event is RSC, Regional
Student Conference, at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. RSC is
held the weekend of March 25-27, shortly after Spring Break. If youre
interested in attending (and you should be) contact one of your ASME
e-board members.
