Arthur Weisberg Family Engineering Laboratories
More than a hundred people gathered to honor Arthur and Joan Weisberg and the rest of the Weisberg family in a memorable dedication ceremony on Saturday, August 16th. Our brand new $4.2 million engineering building is now known as the Arthur Weisberg Family Engineering Laboratories. The event was covered by several local TV stations and by the
Herald-Dispatch. Marshall University has a
press release and a
video of the event and we've
posted several photos of the ceremony.
Railroad Engineering Education Symposium
Dr. Andrew P. Nichols, PE represented Marshall University and the Rahall Transportation Institute in Urbana, IL at the Railroad Engineering Education Symposium, sponsored by the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA). The 3-day workshop was held to encourage civil engineering educators to incorporate railroad engineering into their transportation curricula and disseminate information current railroad research needs. Approximately 30 engineering professors from across the U.S. participated in this inaugural workshop in early June. Workforce shortages are projected across the railroad industry and incorporating railroad engineering into the undergraduate curriculum will raise awareness of the profession. Dr. Nichols (the person on the right) is shown speaking with Dr. Thomas Mulinazzi of Kansas University between workshop sessions.
Exploring Engineering Academy
We just finished up our eighth annual Exploring Engineering: Academy of Excellence (EEAE) recently. Thirty-six high school students from eight states are here on campus. They're building catapults, robots, and CO2 powered race cars, attending presentations, and visiting companies in the area that are engaged in engineering activities. Check out the EEAE
web site for more information about the academy, or read these articles in the
Herald-Dispatch and on Marshall's
web site.
New CITE Dean Announced
Dr. Betsy Dulin is now the Dean of the College of Information Technology and Engineering. The full details are in this Marshall
