Engineering Honors Banquet

Every year, the Wyoming Alpha Chapter of Tau Beta Pi hosts a

banquet to honor recipients of awards, scholarships, and other

special recognitions. Donors as well as recipients are invited to

attend.

This year's banquet, held on April 20, 2012, brought about 300

people to Laramie. Live piano music was provided for the event

this year as well as a silent auction.

General Description: The Annual Engineering Honors Banquet is organized and hosted by Tau Beta Pi. This year we had 300 attendees. This number includes students, faculty members, their families, and donors to the college. The main purpose of the banquet is to recognize those who donate to the college, students who received scholarships through the college, and outstanding student and faculty members. Awards are given to the outstanding Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Tau Beta Pi member as selected by Tau Beta Pi, outstanding Senior as selected by JEC, and outstanding faculty member as selected by Tau Beta Pi. This year’s theme was a “red carpet event” which included a silent auction and poster presentation to benefit all of the College’s professional societies.

II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBP: The Engineering Honors Banquet is an effective way for our chapter to get the word out about Tau Beta Pi to all of the donors, faculty, and students who attend. The banquet is the largest event that our college puts on during the year and is a great opportunity for publicity of Tau Beta Pi. Many of the students that receive the awards and scholarships at this banquet are also members of Tau Beta Pi.

III. Organization & Administration: (in conjunction with another group? _ __ Yes _X_ No) Melinda Kolm was in charge of the banquet as Vice President for Banquet. Bradley Lee was in charge of the site committee, which decided center pieces, music, and various other details that helped the banquet run smoothly. Gretchen Heberling was in charge of the Awards Committee, which selected the recipients of a number of awards. IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: Mallory Hunt and Melinda Kolm emceed the event. V. Special Problems:

Chapter Development / Social Activities

Wyoming Alpha does many things to build the chapter and

encourage active participation from its members. We do two

annual initiations, one in the fall and one in the spring.

Generally, new initiates will polish the large Bent in front of the

college after their commitment to Tau Beta Pi.

In addition to initiating new members, and hosting major events,

the Wyoming Alpha Chapter also does many activities with its

current members. Some of these include bringing in speakers.

We had two presentations this last year, one on graduate school,

and one on the newly redesigned MBA program at the

University of Wyoming. This year, Tau Beta Pi appeared at the

college's Freshman Ice Cream Social as well.

The second conference, held at the regular time in the spring was hosted by CO-D, Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO. The Wyoming Alpha chapter was able to send six members to the conference due to its close proximity. Here members were able to learn how to fill out chapter reports, host an Engineering Futures session, and meet other TBP members outside of their chapter.

II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBP: Most importantly, this conference taught members about the TBP organization and the things that go on behind the scenes. It also gave members a chance to network and socialize with other chapters.

III. Organization & Administration: (in conjunction with another group? ___ Yes _X_ No President Mallory Hunt corresponded with District Directors and members of her chapter to get everyone organized and to reserve hotel rooms for the night. IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: There was no cost to attend. V. Special Problems: VI. Overall Evaluation/Results (Be Specific): This conference was very well organized and conducted.

Community/College Outreach

The Wyoming Alpha Chapter strives to get involved in the

community in Laramie. We host two annual blood drives, open

to the public. Tau Beta Pi provides proctors and graders for the

state-level competition of MathCounts (more information is

available from the National MathCounts website

http://mathcounts.org/). Also, this year WY A worked with

Upward Bound and provided an afternoon of engineering for

high school students.

For several years now, WY A has provided a number of judges

for the Engineering and Inventions categories for the Wyoming

State Science Fair. This past year, we also organized and

executed multiple tours of the facilities available in the College

to the participants at the Science Fair.

To offer a service directly to the College of Engineering and

Applied Science, WY A hosted an Engineering Futures Session

and opened it to the entire College.

INSTRUCTIONS: Please complete each of the seven sections below. Any additional information which may be helpful to another chapter would also be appreciated, but do not send extraneous material that would not be useful to other chapters. Project name: __Border War Blood Drive____ Date(s) of Project: _November 29-30, 2011__ Project area: __ Community/ _X_ University/ __ Profession/ __ Chapter/ __Education/ Liberal Culture College Engineering Social Prof. Dev. Number of persons who participated in this project Members: 10 Electees: _0_ (Please attach a list of names.) Hours spent on this project. Organizing: 15 Participating: _18_ DESCRIPTION: I. General Description: A campus wide blood drive to collect whole blood donations to help save lives. It was hosted in conjunction with the University of Wyoming vs Colorado State University (CSU) “Border War” football game. CSU also hosts a blood drive and it becomes a friendly competition to see who can collect the most blood.

II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBP: The purpose of the blood drive is to collect lifesaving blood for the United Blood Services. Since it is a university wide event it also publicizes Tau Beta Pi’s efforts and events.

III. Organization & Administration: (in conjunction with another group? _X__ Yes ___ No) This event was co-hosted with Alpha Epsilon Delta a premedical honor society. Both groups worked closely with United Blood Services to coordinate and run the blood drive. IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: No costs came from the TBP budget. However, it was attempted to raise money for T-shirts. TBP members also had to donate time to set up and man tables in the Union to get sign ups and check people into the blood drive. One to two people per hour were required for a total of four days. United Blood Services provided personnel to draw the blood. V. Special Problems: In order to become approved by the activities council a copy of the United Blood Services’ insurance information was required. VI. Overall Evaluation/Results (Be Specific): The event was a huge success collecting 114 units of blood. Unfortunately, the event became almost overbooked requiring some people to wait up to an hour before being able to donate. Next time perhaps scheduling in a couple of 15 minute breaks to catch up if this occurs would be beneficial.

General Description: This year, the Wyoming Alpha Chapter was able to participate in an Engineering Future session for the first time in a few semesters. The chapter chose to participate in the Group Process session provided by Cheryl Cheng.

II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBP: Engineering Futures provides members with career development opportunites that are sometimes not provided by their regular college experience. The group process module teaches members how to conduct better and more efficient meetings.

III. Organization & Administration: (in conjunction with another group? _ __ Yes _X_ No) President Mallory Hunt organized and set up the session along with Cheryl Cheng, the EF facilitator. IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: No cost, thanks to TBP. Cheryl Cheng flew from Michigan to facilitate the session. V. Special Problems: There were problems in getting members to attend the event. It was hard to get students to commit to a four hour session. There were also problems getting an available facilitator to come to Wyoming on a weekend, so we ended up having the event during the week. More facilitators in the area would be great for chapters in Colorado/Montana/Wyoming. VI. Overall Evaluation/Results (Be Specific): The EF Session was a success, however it would have been great to get better group participation. Hopefully EF Sessions are scheduled regularly with the chapter so that their benefits are more well-known locally. VII. Index of Exhibits:
