Tau Beta Pi CA-Alpha the Engineering Honor Society University of California, Berkeley Annual Chapter Report : Fall 2011-Spring 2012 Dear Reader Tau Beta Pi CA-Alpha The Engineering Honor Society University of California, Berkeley Annual Chapter Report : Fall 2011-Spring 2012 Dear reader, It is with great pride that I present to you this compilation of CA-A’s projects for the 2011-2012 school year. Through the combined efforts of our dedicated officer corps and membership, our impressive class of new initiates, and our faithful alumni, we were able to accomplish truly spectacular things this past year. We held a record-breaking 46 fun/social events and 31 company infosessions, most of which were open to other engineering students, along with numerous professional development events and service activities. But what truly exemplifies the success of the chapter over the past year is the fruitful cultivation of our new, amazing projects. Taking the call of noblesse oblige to heart, the theme of our past year was outreach, both to the College of Engineering and to the surrounding Bay area. CA-A made it our mission to provide opportunities for engineering students and Bay area community members. In the Fall, CA-A unveiled for the first time its College Bound event, an all-day event with the goal of promoting post-secondary STEM education to underrepresented groups. Nearly 200 high school students travelled to the Berkeley campus to hear about student research projects and participate in fun hands-on engineering modules. Then again in the Spring, CA-A rolled out its Engineering Open House, a more focused event to give high school students interested in engineering majors an insider’s look at the life of an engineering student at Berkeley. Both of these events were done in collaboration with multiple other student groups, giving them an opportunity to showcase their projects as well. And, in a targeted outreach effort, CA-A officers visited Galileo High School in San Francisco to hold a QA panel on college life and getting accepted into college. We also saw an expansion of our many student services. For the first time, our professional development committee was able to offer free resume critiquing to any Berkeley student. We also established an inter-societal infosession calendar, so that engineering student groups could coordinate their industrial relation efforts and so the students themselves were always aware of company recruiting on campus. Finally, this year saw an incredible expansion of CA-A’s flagship outreach program, Pioneers in Engineering (PiE). PiE is a seven-week high school robotics competition in which Bay area high school teams are matched with Berkeley student mentors to experience engineering in a hands-on environment. The overarching goal is to encourage STEM education among underprivileged students. This year, PiE was able to support 20 high school teams, doubling in size since the past year. Nearly 200 high school students participated, aided by over 80 Berkeley engineering students. It is my honest belief that PiE represents the true potential of Tau Beta Pi – the ability to bring together a group of dedicated, talented individuals with the goal of inspiring innovation. We hope you enjoy reading about this year’s projects!

Our experiences differ, but your sacrifices for community, family and personal safety and wellbeing have undoubtedly been significant. We know that the disruption to regular on-campus instructional and extracurricular programs last year has brought additional challenges to many. And we know that students benefit from in-person learning, and safely returning to in-person instruction must be a priority. The foundational principle to our 2021-2022 planning has been to provide access to safe and full in- person instruction to all students. Throughout our planning process, we have been following the requirements and considering the recommendations and general guidance of the California Department of Public Health, reviewing the general advisory guidance of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and following the local orders of Contra Costa Health Services.

  • Albany Hill and Cerrito Creek – History and Future by Susan Schwartz, Friends of Five Creeks, for King Tides Walk 2020
    Albany Hill and Cerrito Creek – History and Future by Susan Schwartz, Friends of Five Creeks, for King Tides walk 2020 Geology: Albany Hill, shaggy with trees, rises gently from the south to 338 feet elevation, dropping steeply on its other three sides. It seems to stand alone on the waterfront,, but looks are a misleading. The hill is part of an “alien terrane” –Jurassic shale and sandstone – rock that formed in the age of dinosaurs and much later was scraped from the sea bottom and caught on the edge of North America as ocean floor was forced beneath the continent. Eons later, this same titanic clash of plates heaved the rock upwards as part of a range of hills trending northwest. Now called the Novato Terrane, this remnant of the age of dinosaurs includes what are now Fleming Point, Point Isabel, a smaller summit northwest of Albany Hill (all now dynamited), Brooks Island, the Potrero San Pablo of West Richmond, and the hills of the China Camp area across San Pablo Strait. Quite recently, perhaps 3 million to 1 million years ago, the continued clash of ocean and continent warped this area downward, forming a valley, while a younger range of hills, today’s Berkeley Hills, tilted upward farther east. Humans, arriving thousands of years ago, before the end of the last Ice Age, found Albany Hill and the other hills of the Novato Terrane edging a valley. The ocean shore was well to the west, near the Farallon Islands. As the distant Ice Age glaciers melted, sea level rose.
