S(E)inergy 2005:
This year?s ME 185 Robot Challenge will
test participants? engineering skills
and innovative thinking by asking them
to lay the groundwork for solving our
Energy Crisis. Be there to see who sets
energy policy for Energy Independence
by 2015. The faculty adviser is
Mr. Glenn Weston-Murphy. Thurs., April 28,
4:30 pm, Davies Auditorium.
EWB invites new members,
meets weekly:
Yale Engineers Without Borders (EWB) is
beginning to work on a water project in
Honduras and welcomes students from all
engineering disciplines to join in this
valuable endeavor. EWB meets every
Thursday at 6:30 pm in Mason 211.
EWB is a national, non-profit organization
that sponsors collaboration between college
students and citizens in developing nations
to create engineering solutions to the
developing communities' needs. Projects
involve the design and construction of water,
sanitation, energy, and shelter systems.
Host communities initiate the projects and
contribute to their development and
implementation. Groups of students conduct
the projects under the supervision of
faculty and professional engineers from
partnering engineering firms. For more
information, contact Prof. William Mitch, ChE,
<william.mitch@yale.edu>
Calling Engineering
organizations:
If you have elected new officers, send
their name, class, and title to
<elona.vaisnys@yale.edu>
Bears repeating:
When you see ?RSVP? on an invitation,
the hosts need to know whether you are
coming (?RSVP? stands for ?R?ondez s?il
vous pla??, which is ?reply, please?
in French). Never write ?Please RSVP?,
because you would be saying ?please please
reply.?
