1 .         General meeting with Whirlpool

 

Date: March 4, 2008

Time: 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM

Location: 135 MEB

 

Whirlpool is perhaps best known for its KitchenAid line of kitchen appliances; little known to students is its WERLD program, a leadership development program that is nearly unparalleled in the industry. Come to an informational meeting to learn more about opportunities at Whirlpool and the WERLD program; free smoothies will be served!

 

 

2.         EOH Builds

 

Tuesday, March 04, 4:30 pm, Bevande in MEL

Wednesday, March 05, 7 pm, ESPL

Thursday, March 06, 4 pm – Exhibit Loading

 

We are hosting three different exhibits this year for EOH. The first is a resurrection of last year's penny smasher that will punch a Block I into aluminum disks using a machined die and vice. The second is an interactive exhibit of a hydraulic dump truck that will simulate how a truck bed is lifted, and the third is an exhibit about distracted driving that will feature computer simulations requiring participants' attention for both simulated driving and an alternate task.

3.         ASME Philanthropy Director Position Open

 

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, our current philanthropy chair is going to have to step down for the remainder of the semester.

This chair is responsible for organizing philanthropic events, such as volunteering at foundations and events as well as putting together events where members and nonmembers alike can commit their time to participating in a fun activity such as in a kickball tournament where all the proceeds go to a charity.

Nominations for this position are open through Wednesday, March 5.

 

To nominate, or for more information on this position, contact Matt Savoie at msavoie2@uiuc.edu

 


4.         General meeting with Eaton

 

Date: March 11, 2008

Time: 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM

Location: 135 MEB

 

Perhaps best known for its power transmission concepts, Eaton is also a leader in the power distribution and protection segments. It is a pioneer in developing hybrid transmissions for both on- and off-road equipment. Keep watching this space for topics updates and food choice!
