MSC Program Workshop Descriptions MSC Program Workshop Descriptions A Gaming Toothbrush?! Innovative Design Thinking 1:15-2:45pm & 3:15-4:45pm LaSells Stewart Conference Center - Agriculture Leaders Room Ms. Shannon Cahill-Weisser, Mr. Pramod Poudel (Intel) Have you ever thought about how to get the most out of an everyday product you use? In today's golden age of technology, even a toothbrush can be innovated as a gaming experience to help kids brush more often! Come and learn how to view a previously unexplored problem in innovative ways and solve it with design thinking. We will brainstorm and generate cutting edge prototypes based on your ideas and finish with a design gallery. No programming necessary, but plenty of imagination is encouraged! Biography: Shannon and Pramod work at Intel in the Product Development Solutions organization developing centralized software tools to help engineers ensure their chip designs meet performance requirements. Shannon Cahill-Weisser has been an ASE intern, mentor, and presenter. Her internships in Dr. Skip Rochefort's polymer lab at OSU helped her discover her passion for analytical software. She completed her B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at OSU before joining Intel, where she has worked in PDS for five years on timing tool development and quality assurance. After work, Shannon likes to teach piano lessons and dance. Pramod is a senior software engineer at Intel and living in Hillsboro, Oregon. He has been with Intel for 8 years delivering software tools and flows to enable pre-silicon design analysis. Before coming to the USA in 2008 for his master's degree in electrical engineering, Pramod taught Microprocessors and Computer Architecture to undergraduate students for two years. Pramod is also involved in teaching Arduino and Scratch classes to primary, middle and high school students as his social commitment. In free time and good weather, Pramod likes to hike. Dangerous Decibels: How Loud Is Too Loud? 1:15-2:45pm & 3:15-4:45pm LaSells Stewart Conference Center – Agriculture Science Room Dr. John Brigande (Oregon Hearing Research Center, OHSU), Ms. Alev Brigande (Oregon Hearing Center, OHSU and Reed College), Mrs. Cicek Brigande (Dangerous Decibels Educator) Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the only forms of hearing loss that is entirely preventable. Are you listening to your personal music player at a safe volume? How can you tell? When does it make sense to use hearing protection? Are earplugs enough? Join us for the Dangerous Decibels Hearing Loss and Tinnitus Prevention Workshop and learn the answers to these questions and many more through an action-packed series of hands-on experiments. In this workshop, we will review the anatomy and physiology of the inner ear to understand how hearing happens. We will then discuss the three things you can do to prevent noise-induced hearing loss. Finally, we will determine how long each day you can safely listen to your personal music player at your normal set volume. So bring your tunes and let’s celebrate the special sense of hearing! Biography: Dr. John Brigande is an Associate Professor of Otolaryngology in the Oregon Hearing Research Center at the Oregon Health & Science University. He studies the development of the mammalian inner ear using the mouse as a model system. His lab is focused on devising fetal therapies to restore auditory function in neonates that would otherwise be born deaf. Dr. Brigande began to lose is hearing during late childhood, is now severe to profoundly hearing impaired, and relies on hearing assistive technology to communicate orally. Alev Brigande is part of the Oregon Research Hearing Center at OHSU and is a student at Reed College. Cicek Brigande is a Dangerous Decibels Educator. Electron Microscopy: Essential to Basic, Applied and Industrial Research 1:15-2:45pm Linus Pauling Science Center – Room 145 Dr. Peter Eschbach, Ms. Teresa Sawyer (Oregon State University), Dr. Barbara Miner (Intel (retired)) Electron microscopy is a powerful analytical technique that is used for basic, applied and industrial research. Structures that are too small to be imaged with even the best optical microscopy, can be imaged and elemental composition can be determined with high resolution. Examples in current studies are disease-causing viruses, oceanic plankton, failed electronic components, soil from deep-sea drilling sites, lunar minerals, and air pollution particles. At OSU’s Electron Microscopy Facility, you will have a chance for hands-on imaging of biological (e.g., pollen on a bee’s tongue or a compound insect eye) and industrial samples (compositional analysis of an actual electronic component) and practice image reconstruction that is used to understand the 3-dimensional topography on the nanoscopic scale. Biography: Dr. Peter Eschbach received a Ph.D. in Materials Science. His career includes studies of lasers and optics at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and failure analysis work at Hewlett Packard. Dr. Eschbach is Director of the OSU Electron Microscopy Facility. Dr. Barbara Miner has a Ph.D. in chemistry and spent 25 years as an electron microscopist at Intel, analyzing newly invented materials and films as small as 2 atoms wide. She is now the Girls Engage Technology Coordinator at Saturday Academy. Teresa Sawyer is an electron microscopist at Oregon State University specializing in biological sciences and has been a Senior Faculty Research Assistant at OSU since 1997. Exploring the Seafloor 3:15-4:45pm Oregon State University Nypro Building – 4700 SW Campus Way Ms. Cara Fritz (Oregon State University) What can scientists learn from the ocean floor? This workshop at the OSU Marine Geology Repository will provide you with a close-up look at the science of ocean mud. You will tour the core lab facilities and learn how cores are collected off of research ships. Participants will examine a selection of cores taken from around the world's oceans and learn what these cores can tell us about geological events and ocean conditions of the past. You will also have a chance to get your hands dirty as you take and process representative "cores" and study the composition of the sediment under the microscope. Biography: Ms. Cara Fritz is a faculty research assistant in OSU's College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences. She has a B.A. in Biology from Amherst College and an M.S. in Oceanography from OSU. She has held a variety of jobs related to marine science, from teaching oceanography onboard sailing vessels to conducting research in estuarine benthic biology. Facade Industries: Exploring How to Design the Building Envelope 3:15-4:45pm LaSells Stewart Conference Center - Agriculture Production Room Ms. Lin Wu (Walters & Wolf), Mr. Jeff Wang (Oregon State University), Ms. Nancy Wu (Lincoln High School) Did you know that buildings have skin too? In this workshop, participants will gain a better understanding of the building construction field, specifically cladding services. Cladding (in construction) is when material is applied to the outside of a building to provide insulation, weather resistance, and aesthetic benefits. Participants will also learn how new technology, specifically artificial intelligent and computer learning, can help streamline this process. Biography: Ms. Lin Wu is a Project Coordinator at Walters & Wolf, a West-Coast leader in premier cladding services. She holds a BS in Architectural Design from JinLing Polytechnic University in NanJing, China. Jeff is a senior at Oregon State University majoring in Mechanical Engineering and Material Science.

Mental Time Travel: The Cognitive Neuroscience of Memory 1:15-2:45pm & 3:15-4:45pm LaSells Stewart Conference Center - Wells Fargo Room Dr. Caitlin Bowman, Ms. Stefania Ashby, Ms. Lea Frank (University of Oregon) The human brain is capable of learning and remembering a near infinite amount of information, but our memory still fails us sometimes. Why can you clearly remember events from your childhood but you can't seem to remember what you ate for dinner last Friday? Where in the brain are those memories stored and how do we access them? In this workshop, we will bust common brain myths, explore how memory can be deceptive, tour the memory structures of the brain, learn how to train your memory and test it against some of the best memorizers in the world! Biography: Dr.Caitlin Bowman is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oregon, working in the Brain and Memory Lab under the supervision of Dasa Zeithamova. She received her B.A. in psychology from New York University in 2009 and her Ph.D. in psychology from Penn State University in 2015.

  • Educational Opportunities Program Oregon State University 337 Waldo Hall Corvallis, Oregon 97331-6405
    Educational Opportunities Program Oregon State University 337 Waldo Hall Corvallis, Oregon 97331-6405 P 541-737-3628 F 541-737-3998 Eop.oregonstate.edu To the EOP Family, We were so saddened to learn of the recent passing of Dr. Larry Griggs. He had been at OSU since 1972, completing his doctorate and going on to lead the Educational Opportunities Program for 22 years. Dr. Griggs served as a campus leader, a role model, and an example of how we can provide the best support possible for students, especially those who have not had the same advantages as others. His goal was to “level the playing field” for students of color, those who are the first generation in their families to attend college or on financial aid, students from rural backgrounds, veterans, students with disabilities . Larry not only provided leadership within EOP but also across the campus and around the state. He served on the Faculty Senate Executive Committee and was integral in starting many important initiatives which had long-lasting effects on the curriculum, policies, and procedures of Oregon State. All who knew him, including decades of alumni spread across the country, mourn his passing and are saddened by such a loss. EOP is developing plans to commemorate Larry’s many contributions. We will be announcing opportunities to join others in remembering his life and work. One of the best ways to honor Larry would be to donate to the Larry Griggs Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarship support for EOP students. Please see this link: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/359/foundation/index.aspx?sid=359&gid=34&pgid=1982&cid=3007& bledit=1&dids=869 As Larry himself said and truly believed, it is essential to support students in reaching their goals because “that is the only way we can we can really change things in the world."

    2012-2014 CORBAN UNIVERSITY CATALOG Updated September 1, 2012 5000 DEER PARK DRIVE SE • SALEM, OREGON 97317-9392 • 503.375.7005 • 800.845.3005 • www.corban.edu CORBAN UNIVERSITY OUR VISION “Corban University, with its global mission, is positioning itself to become one of the highest-ranked educational institutions in the United States. “ We recognize that a vision statement sets a destination. Getting there requires strategic planning. Such planning is particularly important in situations where there are many unknowns. Fortunately, we rely on the Lord Jesus Christ who not only knows the future, but is the future. OUR MISSION “To educate Christians who will make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ.” This is accomplished by fostering a transformative learning culture where a sustainable biblical worldview takes shape; building a Christian community that promotes worship, creative expression and activities that reflect God’s character; and cultivating a life of stewardship and service toward God, humanity and creation. OUR SENSE OF PLACE “Ideally, every college or university should have its own physical image, an amalgam of buildings and landscapes that define and celebrate a sense of place; communicate the institution’s purpose, presence, and domain; and generate an image charged with symbolism, graced by history.” (“Campus Design” by Richard P. Dober) The Lord has blessed us with a campus that has truly become a beautiful educational setting with several new buildings, clock tower, amphitheater, large green spaces, new athletic fields and renovation of several existing buildings. The prospects of a new library building and the addition of 42.5 acres to our campus give us the opportunity to continue to expand the University.

  • Get to Know OSU Self-Guided Tour of Campus
    Get to Know OSU Self-Guided Tour of Campus Oregon State University’s main campus is over 400 acres and has 121 buildings – needless to say you will only have a chance to see a small part of it! Tuition was $10 a term in 1870 when the first degrees were awarded to a class of three (one woman and two men). There are currently over 19,000 students from all 50 states and 90 foreign countries. 1. Memorial Union & Quad In the quad or on the front steps. In 1920 the students proposed plans for a Memorial Union to honor heroes from WWI. The site was excavated by steam shovel but rocks and dirt were removed by horses with carts. The MU opened in 1928 and remains a popular place with students today. The quad (lawn) out front often has information booths, live music, and students just hanging out. Go up the steps from the main entrance, then up the stairs into the lounge. There are two murals in the Rotunda as you go up the stairs: one reflects the sea grant studies at OSU and the other is a WWI battlefield in France representing why the MU was built. The MU Main Lounge (called the students’ living room) features couches and chairs for between-class studying or naps. All of the flags overhead symbolize a student or faculty member from that particular country. On the main level: Stop into the Bookstore (down the hall to your left) for some orange-and-black Beaver apparel or have a lunch break at the Commons (down the hall to the right) and mingle with OSU students and staff who eat and study here during the day.
