A Tribute to Dr. Thomas Petry

homas M. Petry was initiated into Chi Epsilon while he was a undergraduate student at the at Rolla (UMR) in Dec 1966. UMR is the 35th chapter of Chi Epsilon, Line Line Line installed in 1950. There are currently over 130 chapters across the nation. He received his - - - BS from UMR in 1967, his MS from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1968, and his PhDT from Oklahoma State University in 1974. Dr. Petry taught at the University of Texas at Arling- ton (UTA) from 1974 to 1995. He received Chi Epsilon’s James M. Robbins “Excellence in Teaching” award in 1988 and served as the UTA chapter’s faculty advisor from 1988-1995.

Returning to his alma mater, UMR, in 1995, he became the CE Department chairman. The UMR chapter elevated Tom to Chapter Honor Member status in 1995 in recognition of someone who “has attained a degree of eminence in the profession, and who exhibited experience and ability worthy of emulation by young civil engineers.” Tom’s area of expertise is Geotechnical Engineering. He is a member of Chi Epsi- lon, , and , as well as a Life Member of ASCE. He is a Diplomat of the Academy of Geo-Professionals and is a Registered Professional Engineer in Texas and Missouri. Transit On Transit Transit On Transit Transit On Transit

Tom was elected to serve as the Councillor to Chi Epsilon’s Central District in 2000. He was elected to serve as Chi Ep- silon’s National Secretary Treasurer at Chi Epsilon’s Biennial Conclave, held in March 2006 at UMR. After retiring as Emeritus Professor at UMR in 2007, he relocated to Granbury, Texas, coincidentally within a 1 hour drive south of UTA, the location of Chi Epsilon’s National Office.

I have known Tom for the past 11 years as a fellow member (Pacific District Councillor) of Chi Epsilon’s National Coun- cil. Having served as National Marshal, Vice-President, and currently President, I have worked closely with Tom, and it has indeed been a privilege. I wish him all the best in the future now that he has chosen to retire AGAIN!!!

National Honor Member — G. Wayne Clough, PhD

t is an honor and a pleasure for Chi Epsilon to recognize G. Wayne Clough as its 62nd Na- tional Honor Member, joining the ranks of the most distinguished and exemplary civil engi- neers of the past 90 years. Dr. Clough was initiated into Chi Epsilon in 1963 at Georgia Line Line Line - - - Tech and received his BS in civil engineering in 1964. He went on to receive an MS from GeorgiaI Tech in 1965. He received a Ph.D. in 1969 at Berkeley under the direction of Dr. Mike Duncan. He briefly worked for the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station in Vicks-

burg, MS, where he made important contributions to fundamental understanding of the perfor- mance of embankments on soft clay and U-frame locks.

He went on to positions as a faculty member at Duke and Stanford, Chairperson and Dean at Virginia Tech, Provost at Washington, and President of Georgia Tech. He was elevated to Chap- ter Honor Member of Chi Epsilon in 1994 while at the University of Washington.

He has received numerous awards from ASCE, including the OPAL award for lifetime achieve- Transit On Transit Transit On Transit Transit On Transit ment, the Norman medal, the Huber prize, the Collingwood prize and the Terzaghi lectureship. He has also been hon- ored by the American Society for Engineering Education. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, for whom he served as Chairperson of the Engineer of 2020 project, and a member of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. He has received many other awards and honors too numerous to mention here.

In 2008, Dr. Clough was named Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, the foremost entity of its kind in the world, and currently serves in that capacity. In 2009, he chaired the Committee on New Orleans Regional Hurricane Protec- tion Projects for the National Academies.

In summary, Dr. Clough has made major contributions to the profession of civil engineering, with his work in embank- ments, tunnels, soil-structure interaction and earthquake engineering, and major contributions to engineering educa- tion through his leadership at prestigious institutions and service in charting its future. He has served our nation through his service on numerous boards and committees and his present service at the Smithsonian. As such, he is an inspiration and exemplar to civil engineering students. He embodies Chi Epsilon’s virtues of scholarship, charac- ter, practicality, and sociability, and is honored as our 62nd National Honor Member.

NCEES NEWS RELEASE

CEES announces changes to FE exam, effective January 2014 The current specifications for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam will change in January Line Line Line - -

- 2014 in conjunction with the exam’s transition to computer-based testing (CBT). At that time, the FE exam will be seven freestanding, discipline-specific exams: Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Com- N puter, Environmental, Industrial, Mechanical, and Other Disciplines. NCEES has posted the major domains for these exams online, and the complete specifications will be available in 2013. In 2010, NCEES announced a move toward CBT. The final pencil-and-paper exam will be offered in October 2013. All FE exams administered before CBT will use the exam specifications currently available on the Exams portion of the NCEES website. This notice of new domains follows a previous call for volunteers to participate in a content review. The cross- section of participants included licensed professional engineers, academics teaching engineering courses, and Transit On Transit Transit On Transit Transit On Transit engineer interns from all engineering disciplines. These individuals were surveyed about the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for an engineer intern to work in a manner that protects the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
