"This is like winning the NCAA championship" team advisor Dr. Dan Dolan said as the team drove home Monday morning from the weekend competition. "This is absolutely awesome. It's truly something special." The School of Mines team spent months designing, building and testing the remote-controlled biplane that features a 5-foot wingspan. At the competition, the plane carried 19 pounds of added lead weight, the most of any of the nearly 40 teams, and placed third in design. When the judges tallied the total scores, the School of Mines finished atop the regular class and ahead of some of the best-known universities in the country. The School of Mines team also is bringing home the best team award and the traveling trophy that will remain on campus for the next year. "The team is just flying high" Dolan said. "It's still sinking in. It's still sinking in to me. I woke up this morning and asked myself if I was dreaming." The team is expected to arrive on campus late Monday night. The team will display its airplane during the Senior Design Fair scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Surbeck Center Ballroom. Dolan credited the team's success, in part, to the Center of Excellence for Advanced Manufacturing and Production, also known as CAMP. Competition teams such as Aero Design fall under CAMP, a program that uses teams to offer an innovative engineering and science education and teach team-building and other skills students need and future employers want. "This is a typical good CAMP team" Dolan said. "They really put everything together. Every student had a task and every student fulfilled those tasks flawlessly. The Aero Design team members really put their trust in each other. Everyone was willing to voice their opinions and when they had a problem, they worked through it until they reached a consensus. Every student felt like they belonged on the team." The Aero Design competition is intended to provide undergraduate and graduate engineering students with a real-life engineering exercise. The competition has been designed to provide exposure to the kinds of situations that engineers face in the real work environment. #30# South Dakota Tech News Report for June 2005 BOR Meeting 2 of 14 Higher Ed Center Cuts The Rope Today The Rapid City Area Chamber of Commerce will welcome the Higher Education Center — West River to Rapid City during a rope-cutting scheduled for 10:30 a.m. today, Thursday, April 28, at the center, 515 West Blvd. West River residents who want to pursue their higher education goals now have an easy, efficient way to find the information they need, thanks to the Higher Education Center — West River. The Higher Education Center - West River was established to provide a "one-stop shop" for all West River area students considering enrolling in higher educational programs at the undergraduate and graduate level. Some courses and programs will be taught at the center. The purpose of the Center is to provide a cooperative and collaborative effort from the participating universities — Black Hills State, School of Mines, University of South Dakota and South Dakota State — to meet the needs of students — especially the large population base in western South Dakota. The center is striving to be responsive to the needs of residents in the entire West River region. One of the first tasks for the center will be assessing what those needs are and formulating a plan to meet them. The Center plans to conduct market research to find out what programs are needed and what needs are currently not being met. The Center will work as a clearinghouse to avoid duplicate coursework and facilitate a plan to share professors for courses offered by separate universities. The center's location near downtown Rapid City includes more than a dozen offices and a large classroom and houses representatives from several universities. #30# Tech Holds 151st Commencement The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology will hold its 151st Commencement at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 7, in the King Center on campus. More than 250 undergraduate and graduate students will receive degrees. In addition, 12 alumni from the class of 1955 will attend the ceremony and receive certificates commemorating their graduation. Miaken Zeigler (Environmental Engineering, Sturgis) will represent the student body. Originally from Sturgis, South Dakota, Ms. Miaken Zeigler became a part of South Dakota Tech News Report for June 2005 BOR Meeting 3 of 14 the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology community after receiving a scholarship to play for the Lady Hardrocker basketball team. Ms. Zeigler's talent and abilities earned her three All Conference selections and 2nd Team All American honors her senior year. Her abilities on and off the court made her a three-time scholar athlete. She ended her basketball career fourth on the School of Mines all-time scoring list. Outside of athletics, Ms. Zeigler has been very active on campus. She was a Resident Assistant, a member and chair of the Leadership Development Team, and Orientation Leader and Co-Chair. Currently, she serves as Student Program Coordinator for the Student Activities and Leadership Center, where she advises on numerous programs and events. She is currently in the process of applying for the Peace Corps, where she hopes to use her Environmental Engineering degree. Harold Fritzsche will receive the Guy E. March Medal. Fritzsche hails from Wessignton, where graduated from high school, in 1947. Fritzsche graduated with a South Dakota School of Mines and Technology degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1951. A World War II veteran, he began working in the General Engineering Training Program with General Electric in Lockland, Ohio. From his next G.E. assignment in Fort Wayne, Ind., he took a leave of absence and enrolled in graduate school at Purdue, earning a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1956. Fritzsche continued in project engineering for G.E. in Fort Wayne, and was promoted through various positions including manager of advanced engineering and program manager until his retirement in 1986. During his career, he held 19 U.S. patents. Throughout his career away from South Dakota, he returned to South Dakota and to campus frequently, while he consistently maintained regular contact and involvement in support of the university, its students and alumni. His support of Hardrocker athletics and many other endeavors continues. Mr. Greg Graves will deliver the commencement address. Graves graduated from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. He immediately joined Burns & McDonnell of Kansas City, Missouri, and his career track since then is an inspiration to us all. He has held progressively responsible positions in a wide variety of energy-related projects. As vice president and marketing director, he expanded the company's client base by building relationships with potential partners and clients. In the late 1990s, he led the way in positioning the firm to take advantage of the boom in the power market. He was promoted to general manager of the Energy Division in 1997 and oversaw a 200 percent growth in personnel and 400 percent growth in revenue. In 2001, he was named Energy Group President. He set goals, provided resources, and helped direct the vision of the firm's energy services. South Dakota Tech News Report for June 2005 BOR Meeting 4 of 14 He became President and Chief Operating Officer in January 2003, and was named Chief Executive Officer in October 2003. #30# Students Engineer Solutions During 2005 Design Fair The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology's 2005 Design Fair will feature dozens of senior projects from various fields of engineering and computer science. The event, free and open to the public, will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, April 26, in the Surbeck Center Ballroom. Projects on display will include the unmanned aerial vehicle, concrete canoe, dance studio project, race cars, robots, supersonic wind tunnel, and much more. This campus-wide celebration of technical design showcases projects from more than 100 students in the following departments: Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Math and Computer Science, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Geology and Geological Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Materials and Metallurgical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Some of the projects are sponsored by private industry and government agencies. "Seniors work hard all year to develop, design, and build their projects" Dr. Chris Jenkins, professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department, said. ��Many of the projects are entered into national competition and perform exceptionally well." The design method is critical to technological advancement. It is the creative process used to develop a products and processes that address customer needs. Understanding and utilizing the design method are important components of engineering and computer science education. The Design Fair provides an opportunity for the general public to see the results when School of Mines students apply the creative process in engineering and computer science projects. Student designers will be on hand to explain their projects. Middle and senior high school students are particularly encouraged to attend. #30# Research Aims For Better Lightning Prediction Researchers at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology are using past thunderstorms to create a model for predicting lightning behavior under various storm conditions. South Dakota Tech News Report for June 2005 BOR Meeting 5 of 14 The three-year, $394,000 project is funded by National Science Foundation. School of Mines researchers are collaborating with scientists from the University of Arizona and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. The researchers are investigating the fundamental nature of thunderstorm electrification through computer modeling and comparing the results with observed storms. Lead researcher Dr. John Helsdon, a professor in the School of Mines Department of Atmospheric Sciences, and his team model lightning by simulating interactions between ice crystals and small hail and calculating the charge transferred between the two particles. "We also calculate the various electric currents that flow in and around modeled storms and compare these with ground-based observations made in storms at the Kennedy Space Center" Helsdon said. "We hope to advance our understanding of the intricacies of thunderstorms and lightning, which may lead to better prediction in the future. It may result in better forecasting of thunderstorm and lightning threats worldwide." The School of Mines researchers compare the predictions created by the model with real storm data colIected by the other universities involved in the study. The findings allow the School of Mines to fine tune its model. The School of Mines lightning model is one of two in the world that is used to study thunderstorm electrification and lightning in three dimensions. "We are on the cutting edge of research into the processes that lead to the electrification of thunderstorms and the production of lightning" Helsdon said. "Using this model, with its detail and sophistication, we can carry out the most comprehensive modeling studies of thunderstorm electrification and lightning development in the world." #30# Bill Includes Funding For Asphalt Recycling Research The federal transportation reauthorization bill that passed the U.S. Senate Tuesday, by a vote of 89-11, included $1.5 million for the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology to continue its research into the use of recycled asphalt in paving projects. South Dakota has been a national leader in reclaiming existing asphalt for re-use on the state's roads. The School of Mines research will help fine-tune the reclamation process and help make it available for other areas of the nation. South Dakota Tech News Report for June 2005 BOR Meeting 6 of 14 "This is important research" university President Dr. Charles Ruch said. "If we can improve the asphalt reclamation process, we can save money on road maintenance projects and finish them faster. The School of Mines is excited to be part of this kind of practical research that benefits everyone by giving us safe roads maintained in an environmentally efficient way. "I want to thank our congressional delegation in advance as the House and Senate move forward to craft a final version of this important legislation" Ruch said. "I especially want to thank Sen. John Thune for making sure this research funding was included and protected as the bill moved through the Senate." The School of Mines research focuses on quantifying the benefits of full-depth reclamation and establishing specific testing and design standards for recycled asphalt materials. "The School of Mines has the expertise and staff to be the leading research institution for pavement preservation and recycling" Ruch said. "Understanding and quantifying the benefits of pavement recycling would greatly enhance the ability of states like South Dakota to expand the use of their highway dollars." Because the House and Senate have passed differing versions of the transportation reauthorization bill, it will be up to a House/Senate conference committee to craft a final bill. #30# Jack First Establishes Scholarship The Jack First Scholarship fund has been established by Jack First with a cash gift to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology Foundation. First intends to contribute $1,000 each academic year to continue awarding one Jack First Scholarship. Each year, First plans to select a new essay topic and have the applicants write a short essay. Because First strongly supports the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, he asked applicants to submit a 200 to 500 word essay in support of the Second Amendment. Amanda Dinstel, an electrical engineering major from Alzada, Mont., was selected for the award. Only women students who are sophomores, juniors, or seniors majoring in an engineering field with a 3.0 or higher grade-point average are eligible for this award since it is First's goal to encourage more women to become engineers. In 1954, First started a small gun shop in Lancaster, Calif. His specialty was customer service. He recognized the need for a good source for repair parts, and devised a system of supplying parts for gunsmiths that was faster than the South Dakota Tech News Report for June 2005 BOR Meeting 7 of 14 service from the factories, a much-needed improvement in the world of gunsmithing. His same-day service was a welcome change and shortened the time involved in gun repairs, always a headache for gunsmiths and gun owners. Jack First, Inc., moved to Rapid City in 1994. At the new Rapid City location you'll find the same great inventory of new and obsolete parts for guns and gunsmithing. The facility includes a complete on-site repair department. First is a World War II Marine Corps Iwo Jima veteran. #30# Rosebud Students Build Robots High school students participating in a program designed to prepare low-income students for college will show off robots they built during a program scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday, June 3, at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. The students will demonstrate the robots in Electrical Engineering/Physics Building Room 307. Forty-two students from the Rosebud Sioux Reservation are attending Robo Mini-Camp, a program hosted by the School of Mines and the South Dakota Space Grant Consortium. The university has partnered with Sinte Gleska University's GEAR-Up Program to offer this opportunity to the seventh- through 12th-grade students who are participating. The campers and their advisers are staying in School of Mines residence halls and taking part in two days of intensive, hands-on robotics classes. Camp participants are learning about computer programming and sensor integration necessary for robotic systems. The students also are learning how to control servo motors, perform robotic navigation and interface a variety of sensor systems. The camp will culminate in a handful of projects including dead-reckoning navigation, tactile navigation and infrared line following. This introductory camp will serve as the basis for the development of more advanced camps to be held in the future. The GEAR UP program is a discretionary grant program designed to increase the number of low-income students who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education. GEAR UP provides five-year grants to states and partnerships to provide services at high-poverty middle and high schools. GEAR UP serves students beginning no later than the seventh grade and follows them through high school. GEAR UP funds are also used to provide college scholarships to low-income students. #30# South Dakota Tech News Report for June 2005 BOR Meeting 8 of 14 School of Mines & Community Golf Tournament Golfers don't really need an excuse for a day off, but in case you're looking for one, consider playing in the first annual School of Mines & Community Golf Tournament, scheduled for Monday, June 27, at Arrowhead Country Club in Rapid City. The modified scramble tournament is designed to raise money for athletic and academic scholarships so the School of Mines can provide more assistance to talented and bright students. "It's going to be an enjoyable day" School of Mines President Dr. Charles Ruch said. "We have some great prizes and a challenging course, and the money raised will give more students access to the School of Mines experience." Team prizes will be awarded in multiple flights, giving everyone a chance to win. In addition, three hole-in-one prizes will be offered — a Harley Davidson motorcycle, a spa and a year's tuition and fees at the School of Mines. The registration fee is $150 per player.

Instead, it would tell about traveling across the United States and into Canada. It would speak of daily feats of athleticism. And it would tell of working tirelessly for a cause — increasing awareness of affordable housing efforts in hopes of putting an end to poverty housing. How could all of these things — the travels, the athletic endeavors, the total commitment to low-income housing — happen simultaneously over just one summer? The answer is Bike and Build 2005. Phillips was an undergrad at Ohio Northern University when he first heard about Bike and Build. "I just had an overwhelming feeling that it was something I needed to do" he said. Brian Phillips is one of more than 100 student-aged participants who will travel by bicycle on one of four different routes visiting 34 states and one province during Bike and Build 2005. The 32 riders in Phillip's group will leave Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on June 16 and travel 3,859 miles in 56 days before reaching their end destination of Vancouver, British Columbia, on August 20. Bike and Build, an independent nonprofit organization, has been in existence for just a few years, but with word spreading about the great work being done, the group is quickly gaining popularity. The organization is set up to direct funds, volunteers, and community and media attention to affordable housing efforts. South Dakota Tech News Report for June 2005 BOR Meeting 10 of 14 According to the Bike and Build website, young riders who participate are committed to "pedaling to end poverty housing" through fund raising and cycling. The group's "events act as a catalyst to build homes, foster the spirit of service, and empower young adults…mile by mile, house by house." The young individuals who participate must be committed, not just to biking, but also to raising awareness of affordable housing. In fact, if student riders do not raise the mandatory minimum of $4,000 in contributions to support Bike and Build, they are not allowed to participate in the ride. Phillips estimates that he will need to raise approximately $5,500 in order to make the trip. This includes his $4,000 contribution to Bike and Build, his incidental expenses along the way, plus larger expenses like airfare back from Vancouver. "Classes start the week after the Bike and Build ends, so I don't think I'd have enough time to pedal all the way back home" Phillips said. So far, Phillips has raised just under half of the $4,000 minimum contribution. The $4,000 contribution per rider is largely used as funding to help Bike and Build further its mission by funding affordable housing projects. Some funding is distributed en route in communities where the riders are passing through. Others grants are awarded by the riders themselves through a competitive screening process to select housing groups that have completed a grant application. Since its inception, Bike and Build has distributed $229,875 in funding to low income housing organizations. "Riders are not just involved in the biking and the building. We also participate in determining what groups are most worthy of receiving grant dollars from Bike and Build" he said. Skill levels of the cyclists on day one range from beginner to expert, and riders will pedal an average of 70 miles per day. The highest single-day mileage comes after 30 days of riding when the group will pedal 123 miles from Crookston, Minnesota, to Devil's Lake, North Dakota. In order to prepare, Phillips has been cycling six days per week. "I've always been involved in athletics, but I've only been biking for three years. The key is daily training" Phillips said with confidence, "but the reason behind the trip will be my motivation on the most difficult days." Once they arrive at their resting point each evening, Phillips said the group will "make as much noise" and "raise as much awareness as possible." Riders are expected to speak with town residents about their summer, the Bike and Build program, and housing issues. They may hold town-hall style forums, conduct South Dakota Tech News Report for June 2005 BOR Meeting 11 of 14 bike clinics for youth in the area, or make a presentation of a grant to a local organization that supports affordable housing. Riders do all of this before turning in for an evening of rest before getting back on their bikes again the next day. "The goal is to involve the community as much as possible, and we'll make presentations to anyone who will listen" he said. "The more press coverage and events we have at each stop, the happier we'll be." Bike and Build arranges hosts –local churches, schools, or community centers—for most evenings. However, riders do carry sleeping bags and tents and plan to camp out for a number of nights, especially when they travel through national parks. Arranging all the publicity and host sites takes coordination before the trip even begins, and this is also something that Phillips knows all about. In addition to being a participant and rider, Phillips is also one of four trip coordinators. "As one of the coordinators, I plan parts of the route, call ahead to arrange for hosts, and try to create as much pre-hype publicity as possible so that we can make a big bang at every location" he said. Coordinators also plan a few predetermined "build days" along the course when riders hang up their helmets for hammers. On these build days, the group takes the day off riding and assists a local housing organization in the construction of an affordable home In addition to being a welcome break from cycling, build days give riders a chance to be hands-on with local affordable housing projects and reinforce the mission of Bike and Build. According to the Bike and Build website, groups will contribute over 200 labor hours at each site and will see how much of a difference they can make in just one day. After Bike and Build 2005 is over, Phillips will return to the School of Mines to finish his graduate degree in civil engineering. "I know two things for sure" said Phillips. "I'll be a seasoned cyclist. And without a doubt, I'll be an even greater advocate for affordable housing initiatives across the country." For more information about Bike and Build or helping Brian Phillips fund his trip, please contact the SDSM&T Foundation at foundation@sdsmt.edu or (800) 211-7591 or Brian Phillips at br_phill@yahoo.com #30# School Of Mines Leads Nation With Six Scholars South Dakota Tech News Report for June 2005 BOR Meeting 12 of 14 Six South Dakota School of Mines and Technology students have been named Tau Beta Pi Scholars for the 2005-2006 academic year. No university had as many students selected. Each student will receive a $2,000 scholarship. The students: Justin Kasemodel, Electrical Engineering, Sioux Falls; Bobbie Crater, Mechanical Engineering, Glasgow, Mont.; John Brosnahan, Civil Engineering, Lead; Deborah Carlson, Metallurgical Engineering, Rochester, Minn.; Daniel Hammarsten, Chemical Engineering, Ashley, N.D.; and Jennifer Pazour, Industrial Engineering, Pukwana. "This is an outstanding achievement for these students and for our university" School of Mines President Dr. Charles Ruch said. "The selection of these students recognizes their outstanding achievements and abilities and the quality education the School of Mines delivers." From 180 applicants, Tau Beta Pi's Fellowship Board selected 69 scholars, the largest number of scholarships awarded in one year since the program was established in 1998. All Tau Beta Pi Scholarships are awarded on the competitive criteria of high scholarship, campus leadership and service, and promise of future contributions to the engineering profession. All scholars are members of Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society. Tau Beta Pi is the only engineering honor society representing the entire engineering profession. It is the nation's second-oldest honor society, founded at Lehigh University in 1885 to recognize students of distinguished scholarship and exemplary character. There are now collegiate chapters at 229 U.S. colleges and universities, active alumnus chapters in 16 districts across the country, and a total initiated membership of 474,629. #30# Higher Ed Center Seeks Public Opinion The Higher Education Center — West River invites area residents to participate in an online survey that will help determine how the center can best meet the region's higher education needs.
