The 2011 officers were Joey McElvy, president; Morgan Calvano, vice-president; Liz Holmes, secretary; Alex Dukeman, associate editor; Erin O’Connor, treasurer; and Dr. W E. Back, faculty advisor. The chapter sold FE review manuals to provide assistance to engineers taking the exam and to make money for the chapter. The chapter also put together the Department of Civil Engineering spring banquet. The banquet consisted of a catered dinner, guest speakers from various companies, awarded outstanding achievements to undergraduates, and awarded a distinguished honor to those who contributed help due to the tornado outbreak of 2011. Many of the Chi Epsilon members competed in the ASCE steel bridge and concrete canoe teams and did well in the regional conference in Tallahassee, Florida. This chapter’s members and officers were very active in the school and extracurricular activities. In the spring of 2012, a new member initiation was held, initiating 28 new members, and we installed new officers. Unfortu- nately, no officers were able to return, but we are working to have another great year for the University of Ala- bama chapter of Chi Epsilon. The new officers areOwen Killeen, president; Hollis Gibbs, vice-president; Kristi Bardosi, secretary; Michael Wendlandt, treasurer; and Emma Whitaker, associate editor. University of Alaska Initiations of new members and officer elections brought the 2011 academic year to a close. Initiation took place on the 5th floor of the Duckering engineering building on November 18, 2011. Officer installation took place immediately after initiation which resulted in the following: Andy Chamberlain, president; Marcus Farquhar, vice-president; Veronica Swaim, treasurer; and Joel Teune, marshal & associate editor. Over the spring semester, the most prominent activities undertaken by Chi Epsilon UAF chapter were Engineering Week and planning for the fall semester. Engineering Week, or E-week, is a youth oriented program designed to entice younger generations to learn more about engineering. Kids of all ages participate in various ac- tivities throughout the week that show how engineering can be just as exciting as being “an astronaut or fireman.” Chi Epsilon was put in charge of organizing and operating several activities on a particular day of E-week. The most prominent and traditional Chi Epsilon-hosted activity was the gum-drop bridge building activity. Children came to build bridges out of tooth picks and gum-drops to then have them tested to obtain a score. The high scor- ers got their name up on the board for all to see; but, of course, both high and low scorers got the satisfaction of eating their yummy creation. This activity put a positive twist on engineering for kids. In addition to E-week, Chi Epsilon has been discussing progressive ideas to make the UAF chapter more active as an honor society. For the upcoming 2012 fall semester, Chi Epsilon has plans to convert the Civil Engineering lounge in the Duckering Engineering Building into a civil-specific study lounge with an extensive resource and reference library. Accompanying the renovated lounge will be FE exam review sessions tailored to the needs of Chi Epsilon members. These review sessions are open to all, but cover only the topics requested by society members. These sessions will include guest lecturers and professors. Initiation for new members is scheduled to be held in the weeks prior to Thanksgiving. Officer elections will be held the last few weeks of the fall semester. CHAPTER ANNUAL REPORTS 2 FALL 2012 Arizona State University For the outgoing officers: Breezy Sharma, president; Isha Mehta, vice- president; Triana Gonzalez-Neves, secretary; Michael Gehringer, associate editor and engineering student council representative; John Heck, treasurer; and Eric Ponce, marshal, it has been a year marked with ascendency and gratifica- tion. Officers, students, and faculty members came together on a number of dif- ferent activities to strengthen the engineering community and demonstrate the four characteristics Chi Epsilon recognizes as important traits of the successful engineer. To bolster ASU’s reputation of producing competent engineers Chi Epsilon hosted fifteen different, topic specific, FE review sessions conducted by engineering faculty members. To better inform ASU’s engineering school about the FE exam along with the review sessions extensive promoting was done. All FE exam promotion was culminated into a formal information session organized and presented by all Chi Epsilon officers. In order to spark student interest in different sub-disciplines within civil engineering Chi Epsilon coor- dinated with industry professionals and academics to give presentations/seminars on their scope of work. These newly established relationships with industry professionals transpired through Chi Epsilon sponsored events with the Young Members Forum and other engineering organizations. To help the incoming officers, who wereNicholas Partridge, president; Mathew Watson, vice-president; Travis Dunn, treasurer; Melissa Archer, secretary; Elizabeth Barnes, marshal; Ryan Sariego, engineering student council representative; and Mathew Bartos, associate editor and media relations, the chapter set new precedence, and new officer endeavors were introduced. Due to an overwhelming consensus opinion regarding inadequate AutoCAD preparation upon graduation, Chi Epsilon has agreed to take action. To address this issue, Chi Epsilon will host AutoCAD Sessions that will be structured to emulate the FE review sessions. It has been a great year for Chi Epsilon. The outgoing officers are excited to challenge the incoming of- ficers to seek prevalence in every activity in which they participate. Chi Epsilon would like to thank our faculty advisor, Dr. Chris Lawrence, for helping us along the way. Bucknell University Community Service Event: On April 23, 2012 the Bucknell chapter of Chi Epsilon helped a group of local boy scouts earn their engi- neering badges by hosting a hands-on workshop for them. Matthew Szymanski gave a presentation to one group of scouts about the mechanics of catapults and trebuchets, and explained their historical use. After learning the basics, the scouts were eager to construct their own catapult. With help from the chapter members, the scouts built a catapult out of a milk carton, rubber bands, pencils, a plastic spoon, and tape. The scouts were excited to put their catapults in action. Using marshmallows as their projectiles, they competed for the longest shot and for accuracy. Meanwhile, Brian Shoener delivered a presentation on different types of bridges found around the world. Each scout then constructed their own truss bridge with the help of a chapter member using popsicle sticks and hot glue. The bridges were then tested for stability using a concentrated point load by using scoops of sand in a bucket. (see photo at right) The scouts enjoyed predicting when each bridge was going to break, although one scout liked their bridge so much they did not want to have it broken during testing. At the end of the night, each scout was presented with an award to signify their successful completion of the task. The scouts very much enjoyed learning more about the field of engineering, while the chapter CHAPTER ANNUAL REPORTS 3 FALL 2012 members

(Iota Iota Iota, women's studies) and Upsilon Pi Epsilon (computer science). University-wide honorary societies include the Boulder Society, which acknowledges outstanding senior men; and the Tower Society, which acknowledges outstanding seniors from all groups who have been traditionally marginalized based on their gender identity or expression. National honorary societies represented on campus are as follows: The Alpha of Vermont Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was established at the university in 1848 and has the honor of being the first Phi Beta Kappa chapter to initiate women and African Americans to membership, which it did in the 1870s. Membership in Phi Beta Kappa reflects outstanding academic achievement in a broad range of liberal arts disciplines and is typically extended to students in their senior year. The chapter also selects one junior each year to receive the Bogorad Award, which recognizes superlative academic achievement in the liberal arts through the sophomore year. The Mortar Board is a national society for senior women and men. Although membership in Mortar Board comes as a high honor for a UVM student in recognition of outstanding service, scholarship, and leadership, it is also a challenge for continued unselfish service in the best interests of the college campus.
