American Scientists stamps
unveiling at Yale:
The unveiling May 4 was an event to remember! and we will
have pictures and text (probably after Commencement) on
www.eng.yale.edu for all to enjoy. For
the time being, see
the relatives of Josiah Willard Gibbs and Dean Paul Fleury
at the Gibbs gravesite in Grove Street Cemetery and also
the Gibbs stamp,

And do go to see the Gibbs exhibit that
Andrew Shimp,
Engineering Librarian, has mounted in an exhibit case between
Dunham and Becton.
They won the s(Energy)
competition:
Annemarie Baltay '05, Applied Math, Saybrook, finished First
in the s(Energy) 2005 ME 185 Robot competition and was
declared Energy Czar. Ho Ming Chiu '08, still deciding on
a major (it might be Engineering), Branford, was a close
second. Congratulations on innovative conceptualizing
and effective designing and implementation.

To the Editor:
"I do not know if this is standard procedure, but I
know you are the person who puts out the newsletter for
the engineers, and as senior projects draw to a close I
wanted to send a special thanks out to a man who has been
instrumental in the completion of all of our senior
projects in the Mechanical Engineering Department. Nick Bernardo
runs the machine shop in Mason and has gone out of his way
for almost everyone in the Department in one way or another
to help us out. He comes in early, sets times, and comes up
with innovative new ideas, all of which are above and beyond
his job description. I wanted to let him know we appreciate
him very much, and I hoped to do that through the newsletter.
Would it be possible for you to put a big thank you to him
from the Mechanical Engineering undergrad seniors in the
next newsletter? Thanks!
Very Respectfully, Justin Elliott."
Engineering Prizes winners:
To be announced next week.
