June 25, 2014 Tau Beta Pi Awards Committee C/o Mr. Curt Gomulinski PO Box 2697 Knoxville, TN 37901 Dear Award Committee Members: I am writing to support the selection of the Alabama Epsilon chapter of Tau Beta Pi for a chapter award. We are extremely proud of our TBP chapter and its record of outstanding service and achievements. The South Alabama TBP chapter has a significant impact on the College, the University, the Profession, and the Community. I continue to be very impressed that the TPB leadership has been able to get nearly all of the eligible students to join and, more importantly, get the majority to be active in university and community service. As Dean of Engineering, I can speak directly to the impact of their activities on the College and University. When recruiting students I always talk about Tau Beta Pi members as a resource for freshman and sophomores. Many of the members serve as “Supplemental Instructors” for lower division engineering courses, holding weekly sessions to assist students to be successful, or as Peer Leaders for the freshman engineering seminar. There is no doubt in my mind that these programs really assist our at-risk students and have a positive effect on retention in the College of Engineering. TBP also sponsors an excellent seminar program raising awareness of graduate studies and helping our better students prepare for graduate school. The college of engineering is actively engaged in improving STEM education in our K-12 schools. Tau Bates have mentored local students in a variety of outreach activities: Best Robotics, MathCounts, and the Mobile Regional Science and Engineering Fair. This year, at my request, a member was hired by the Mobile Area Education Foundation to work with the Engaging Youth through Engineering Program. This student is responsible for implementing system-wide education modules motivating middle school students in STEM subjects. The Awards and Recognition Luncheon is a highlight of our academic year at the University of South Alabama. It attracts students, faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters of the College and provides an opportunity to recognize outstanding students, faculty, and the companies that support our students. The TBP members serve a very special role by serving as hosts for the incoming freshman students and their parents. They provide tours of the engineering facilities before the luncheon and sit with the new students at the luncheon, making them feel welcome and serving as great role models.

An excellent example of the impact that TBP has on our college is their calls to highly qualified high school students who have been awarded scholarships, but have not accepted them at the time that we host the awards luncheon mentioned in the previous paragraph. Since TBP members called these students, they clearly have an important influence in encouraging excellent students to enroll in engineering at USA. The Chapter has successfully used scholarship funds we receive as a result of Chapter Project Awards to recognize the outstanding sophomore. The Tau Beta Pi Outstanding Sophomore is a highly coveted award. We have at least a dozen other engineering student organizations, such as ASCE, IEEE, ASME, AIChE, NSBE, SWE and others. While some of those are active in a social sense, participating in meetings, tailgating at football games and similar events, it is TBP that sets the standard for excellence in educational support, community involvement, and service to the college of engineering. We simply would not be as successful as a college without our TBP chapter. While I have concentrated on the great benefit of Alabama Epsilon to the college and university, I should also note that these experiences have also had a huge benefit for the students. Recent graduates who were active in TBP demonstrate excellent leadership, organizational and project management skills that are directly attributable to their TBP experience. The Alabama Epsilon Chapter is truly outstanding and one of the very best assets of the College of Engineering at the University of South Alabama. Sincerely,

John W. Steadman, PE, Ph.D. Dean

General Description:

The EG101 class (Orientation to Engineering Study) introduces first-year engineering students to resources on campus and issues they need to be aware of to succeed at the University of South Alabama. In addition to identifying campus resources, EG101 informs students about how to get internships, on the ethical codes of engineering, and the various components of teams and design engineering. The Peer Panel, a lecture given by three to five upper-class engineering students, presents insights and experiences of successful students to each one of the EG101 classes. The panelists present their own experiences and answer general questions posed by the class.

II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBΠ: The purpose of the peer panel is to increase the scholarship and involvement of first-year engineering students by providing role models (panelists). First-year students get excited about the possible directions of their undergraduate career and learn how to obtain their goals. The panels also encourage participation in engineering societies for the advancement of the individual and the college.

III. Organization & Administration: In conjunction with another group? Yes No This project was done in conjunction with the EG101 class sections. Dr. Sally Steadman, advisor, organized the panels.

IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: Three to five panelists were required for each class period.

The total number of panelists requested was 35; however, some panelists sat on multiple panels and the peer assistant for each section filled in where there were empty seats on a panel.

V. Special Problems:

None. VI. Overall Evaluation/Results:

Chapter:Alabama Epsilon Project number: 2


The EG101 Faculty feel that the Peer Panel is one of the most effective methods of making first-year students aware of the problems, challenges, and exciting aspects of undergraduate engineering studies, as well as providing them with valuable insights on work experience and life outside the engineering curriculum. The panels ran smoothly and successfully.

I. General Description: The President of the Tau Beta Pi chapter, Tim Battle, attended a reception for engineering students who performed well during the fall 2012 school year. The reception was organized by the College of Engineering. The 40 students in attendance ranged from freshman to juniors. Daniel congratulated the students on behalf of Tau Beta Pi and discussed the benefits of Tau Beta Pi for the students. Eleven freshmen were recognized for earning 4.0 GPAs for the fall semester. Flash drives were later presented to the freshmen.

II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBП: This event served to promote Tau Beta Pi in two ways. One, it introduced Tau Beta Pi as the premiere honor society for the College of Engineering. It was also an opportunity to promote Tau Beta Pi to high performing freshmen and sophomores who are likely to be eligible for membership one day.

III. Organization & Administration: In conjunction with another group? Yes No College of Engineering

IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: The cost for each flash drive is $5.90. A larger quantity was ordered to receive a discount. These will be available for several years.

V. Special Problems: Flash drives, with a TBП imprint, were ordered a month in advance. However, the order was not received in time for the reception. Hence the Dean has individually distributed the drives. This is an additional opportunity for the Dean to congratulate each student and encourage their continued success in engineering.

VI. Overall Evaluation/Results: The event was extremely successful. The Alabama Epsilon Chapter of Tau Beta Pi was able to publicize the society directly to a group of students who are likely to be eligible for membership in the upcoming semesters.

General Description: The College of Engineering requires students to take the FE exam in order

to graduate. Tau Beta Pi promotes and sells the NCEES sample exam books to help students better prepare for the FE exam.

II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBΠ: This is a fundraising program for the chapter

and increases the visibility of the college, chapter, and profession. III. Organization & Administration: In conjunction with another group? Yes No

The chapter learned about the opportunity to purchase NCEES sample exam booklets at a discounted price at the national conference. The Dean's office provided funding to purchase the books and once the purchase cost has been recovered, Tau Beta Pi receives the proceeds from the sales of the books. The books are advertized to the students, faculty, and at the FE review sessions. The Dean's office provides support by collecting money and distributing the books. The books are sold at a discounted rate of $30 to assist students in purchasing a valuable resource for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam.

IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: None V. Special Problems: NCEES converted to an online test, beginning in 2014, and is no longer using

the review books. Hence the remaining supply was sold at ½ price ($15). Additionally, the review book was revised several years ago, resulting in a number of books that could not be sold.

VI. Overall Evaluation/Results: We spent $9,747 for 360 study books (at a discount of $3001). A

total of 240 books have been sold for $6,885. This project did not result in funding for the chapter, but has been very beneficial to the engineering students.

General Description: The Engineering Dean’s office asks the chapter to call high school seniors

who have been awarded scholarships, but have not yet accepted, in an effort to help recruit these students to study engineering at The University of South Alabama. Tau Bates volunteered to contact these scholarship recipients and talk with them about the engineering program at South Alabama.

II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBΠ: The project was initiated to encourage high

school graduates to attend the Engineering College at South Alabama. III. Organization & Administration: In conjunction with another group? Yes No

The list of scholarship winners was obtained from the Admissions office and assigned to Tau Bates. A script was generated to use in the calls. (See attached script)

IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: None V. Special Problems: The University has changed the scholarship process, as well as the number of

scholarships, which has almost doubled the number of scholarships awarded. However, students no longer “apply” for scholarships, but are automatically awarded scholarships. This has resulted in a much larger number of students not accepting their scholarships. Therefore the calls by TBΠ members were less effective this year.

VI. Overall Evaluation/Results: As of the beginning of April, 263 high school seniors had been

offered scholarships to the University of South Alabama, in the college of engineering, and 112 of these students had not accepted the scholarship. After Tau Beta Pi members made calls to each of these students, 17 additional high school seniors (15 % of the non-acceptances) accepted the awarded scholarships and are due to start at USA in the fall.

I. General Description: EYE is a workforce and economic development initiative to bring relevance to the K-12 mathematics and science curriculum and to inspire, engage, and prepare elementary and middle school students to take the coursework needed to support the growing demand for highly skilled and technology-savvy workers for the aerospace, shipbuilding and other industries located in the Mobile area.

EYE Modules are weeklong engineering units that incorporate science and mathematics. Each EYE Module is designed to bring relevance and rigor to existing mathematics and science curriculum, with a special emphasis on mathematics. Each module centers around an engineering design challenge, fosters the development of "engineering habits of mind," integrates technology and other resources to meet the learning needs of a diverse group of students, and deepens understanding of middle grades mathematics and science content.

In one of the modules, the students design an electromagnetic motor using an insulated wire, a battery, and a magnet. The base developed for this module was too costly to be implemented district wide. It also produced inconsistent results. USA Engineering Dean, Dr. John Steadman, offered USA’s help to redesign the base to be more cost effective and to be more efficient.

EYE personnel met with engineering faculty and TBΠ students to discuss options for the model system. Several alternate designs were analyzed, as were materials. An extensive search for appropriate parts also produced a less costly apparatus. Tests were conducted to verify that the designed base produced consistent results. This resulted in a “final” design that was less expensive and was more useable with the young students.

II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBΠ: EYE fosters interest in engineering through hands on learning. Middle school students are exposed to engineering concepts and are encouraged to succeed as a college student. This project aligns directly with TBΠ’s K-12 Initiatives.





IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: Funded by EYE.


VI. Overall Evaluation/Results: Judy Duke, EYE Middle Grades Coordinator, expressed sincere appreciation for the help from the TBΠ students from the University if South Alabama. She has invited our chapter back for the next academic year, as well as the summer camps. A current TBΠ member, Jennifer Youngpeter, was hired to develop and test potential EYE modules for the Mobile Area Education Foundation.

The systems were used in classrooms at Clark Magnet School.

The polo shirt is a professional way to promote the name and significance of Tau Beta Pi. The shirts are often seen around the college, which gives the chapter increased visibility.

There are 24 shirts remaining, which will be used for the new initiates in the fall.

the experience greatly. They found learning more about TBΠ and interacting with members from other chapters to be a fun and enlightening experience. The participants were able to learn a lot about TBΠ, and were able to more easily interact with other chapters in our district. This experience also proved to be effective in fostering an atmosphere of continued interest in the initiates. Both of the electees who attended Convention were elected officers for the 2014-15 year; one as president, the other as vice president.

I. General Description: The Alabama Epsilon Chapter of Tau Beta Pi uses a Facebook group to announce upcoming Tau Beta Pi events and to post pictures of the new inductees. The Facebook group was routinely checked to reply to wall posts inquiring about Tau Beta Pi. Members of the groups can also post pictures.

II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBΠ: The Facebook group increases Tau Beta Pi's visibility on social media. In addition, it provides the new inductees with easy access to the initiation reception information and professional photos. It also serves to remind members of upcoming events.


IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: none


VI. Overall Evaluation/Results: The Facebook group currently has 24 members. We are still

merging the Facebook group with our Facebook page which has 70 members. Members have tagged themselves as well as uploaded albums for initiation, receptions, conferences, and volunteering projects. This promotes Tau Beta Pi's image as a fun and active society. However because the group is private, people who are not members of the group cannot see the photos or the posts.
