  2. MSE Kits • Purposes • To increase awareness about MSE • To teach students important skills used on WASL test • To help teachers cover topics directly related to GLE’s and EALR’s • To recruit for WSU and WSU MSE program • Progress/Future Plans • Prototype kit and worksheet have been created • Several more testing supplies are needed • Have test school to implement and test prototype • Rework kits based on outcome, further distribute kits November 2, 2007 MME Advisory Board Meeting Materials Advantage

  3. Events • Tours • Honeywell within next month • Boeing and Nucor weekend trip • Micron collaboration with BSU MA club • Club Events • Ski trip to Silver mountain (January 2008) • Poker Night after implementing MSE kits • Highway clean-up • Continued membership drive November 2, 2007 MME Advisory Board Meeting Materials Advantage

  4. More Events • National Conventions • MS&T in Detroit, September, 2007 • 4 undergraduate members • TMS in New Orleans, March, 2008 • AISTech in Pittsburgh, May, 2008 Visit our website: wsu.edu/~materialadvantage November 2, 2007 MME Advisory Board Meeting Materials Advantage

  5. Club Successes • MA Chapter of Excellence 2007 • 7th year in a row receiving this award • Voted Best MA Chapter for K-12 Outreach • Scholarships and Travel grants • Last year totaled $46,000+ worth • Members have already won several scholarships and travel grants for this year alone November 2, 2007 MME Advisory Board Meeting Materials Advantage

  6. American Society ofMechanical Engineers Washington State University Chapter Presented by: David Clark 2007-2008 President

  7. ASME - WSU • National conference (November 11-15) • Micro RC Baja • 2007 ASME Design • 2008 ASME Design (ME 316) -Tacoma, WA March 28-29 • Big Speaker visit our website: asme.wsu.edu November 2, 2007 MME Advisory Board Meeting ASME

  8. C.A.R.E. - Clean & Renewable Energy Presented by: Tim Handy

  9. Objectives • To give students a chance to be actively involved in reducing the carbon footprint of WSU • To give undergraduate engineering students a chance to get real world engineering experience through the production of biodiesel • To provide 50 gallons of biodiesel per week to fuel a WSU garbage truck • To construct a fuel processor that is safe, effective, and economically self sustaining November 2, 2007 MME Advisory Board Meeting C.A.R.E.

  10. Current Status • We are currently in construction of the biodiesel processor • Construction of the processor is expected to be complete by the end of the fall semester • The processor is located and upon completion will operate in ELB 59 November 2, 2007 MME Advisory Board Meeting C.A.R.E.

  11. Future Plans for Operation • Once processor and filtering system is complete participating students will perform all aspects of the biodiesel production • Tasks performed will include: • Collection of waste oil from Northside dining center • Obtaining methanol and potassium hydroxide from central stores • Mixing of methoxide (methanol and KOH) and waste oil • Working valves and pump to decant and transfer biodiesel • Filtering of biodiesel product • The system will provide a clean burning fuel with feedstock from a renewable source • The processor is designed so that expansion of the system to produce larger batches of biofuel can be performed with relative ease November 2, 2007 MME Advisory Board Meeting C.A.R.E.
