AUM Engineering Club

Hi Everyone!

This has been an insane Fall semester and things are just starting to even out for me.

We will start to have regular Engineering Club Meetings every last Friday evening of the month, starting 28 August 2009, at 6 p.m. Location is Goodwyn Hall, Rm 202.

Free PIZZA and drinks will be provided!!

Depending on how quick Netflix delivers, I’m trying to order WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR as well.

Bring your family, friends, and fellow students. Anyone interested in making a difference to our environment and fossil fuel consumption NOW will find the AUM’s Engineering Club an attractive facilitator.

We also need volunteers for leadership positions in the club. Everything is up for grabs.

See everyone there!

All,
Due to a lack of response, this Saturday’s meeting has been cancelled.

If you are interested in a volunteer opportunity to do some preventative maintenance on the biodiesel plant, or pick up oil from the Senator’s Café (we have a uber-pump now!), please contact me.

Best, Markus

Hi everyone!

I wanted to see how your schedules next Saturday, 18 July 2009 are. I’d like to have a meeting at AUM to discuss the fall semester, and some ideas on automating our biodiesel plant, as well as give everyone an update on the progress being made on getting us a permanent home.

ALSO, if you would like to serve as an officer in the Engineering Club, please let me know.

If you are around this summer and will be able to attend, please reply. If I receive enough responses from students, I’ll send out another reminder this coming Monday, the 13th of July. If this Saturday is too close to finals and too short notice, we’ll take a look at a Saturday morning after summer finals.

Also, our automated lawnmower idea is not completely dead! Even though Auburn’s Engineering School spent $60K to build theirs, we have many of the parts that you contributed already, and we may be able to build one for next-to-nothing. The biggest thing we’ll need is a used scooter/motorized wheelchair.

Here’s a few links to chew on:

Where: Goodwyn Hall, Basement Floor, Loading dock

We will tear apart our biodiesel plant and clean out all the hoses an tanks to get her ready for processing some more biodiesel. If you are interested in learning more about making biodiesel, this is your opportunity to learn how it all works. Let us know that you are coming at engr@aum.edu!

PS If anyone is interested, we can also make some repairs and optimizations to our trebuchet. The caster wheels and trigger mechanism has suffered slight damage when it was transported two weeks ago.

From Dr. Foguel

Jerry Enoch from Alfa Insurance would like to come to campus and give a talk over actuarial science.  This is a good opportunity for us.  Alfa is interested in possible interns.  For those pursuing a Math degree working as an actuary is a definite high paying job possibility.

If you are interested, Jerry Enoch will be on campus Tuesday March 31 and will give his presentation in 202 Goodwyn Hall at 12:10.  Please mark your calendars.  We will serve pizza and other light refreshments.

The AUM Engineering Club will meet on Wednesday 18 Feb 2009 in GH 011, at 1:30 p.m.

We will be discussing the latest on acquiring an area, as well as upcoming and current projects.

Hope to see everyone there!
