Ceylan reported that Jeff Newcomer had been awarded a $32,500 system wide grant entitled "Development of a Mechanical Engineering Controls Laboratory". b. J. Krogman indicated that a contract was in the mail to Tammy Salmon, a 1994 Industrial Engineering graduate, as the new Director of Women in Engineering Program and Engineering Advising Office. c. J. Wilson reported that student resumes are being submitted for coop/intern jobs. d. Some sad news was reported: Milt Shute, a retired professor in Agricultural Engineering, and Eileen Simon, Brigham Coffee Shop, both passed away. e. The CRSTC has been meeting, and a memo sent to DRB chairs will be distributed to EC members. 3. Discussion Topics a. The EMS Open House will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 6. The Departments of Industrial Studies and Computer Science and Communication Technology Management were invited from the College of BILSA. The open house will begin in Ottensman, Room 70. C. Holverson distributed the tour schedule. The plan is to have two groups touring, with M. Anderson and J. Wilson leading the groups. A future open house will include the Departments of Biology and Agriculture, with a tour to include the Chemistry and Engineering Physics areas. b. The draft of the Preliminary Post Tenure Review Audit communication distributed last week should be reviewed, with any comments being sent to R. Curtis. c. A discussion was held on current classroom assignments. Specific rooms have been assigned to departments for their use. The classroom assignments were changed due to the reorganization of the five colleges to three colleges, and the major renovation in Doudna, which eliminated the use of 17 classrooms. The Registrar's Office will be updating the assignments once Doudna's renovation has been completed. The EC felt that no specific department assignments should be made, but that classrooms will be assigned as an entire College. d. Budget information was disseminated for r eview. The Dean will be communicating with the chairs regarding increases. In the budget category, "Supplies, Internal Services", the Dean will be adding an increase which will cover OIT charge backs. The increase will probably be prorated by the number of faculty. The student help budgets will be submitted as requested. The travel budgets should reflect an amount equal to $400/faculty. The Dean will be submitting a capital listing by priority for review. Top priority will be gi ven to capital requests from Chemistry/Engineering Physics and Mathematics since DIN funding is not an option. The Dean cautioned the purchase of large percentages of computers, since other areas of instruction would be shortchanged. 4. New Business a. J. Wilson will be attending a meeting on the catalog, and will check to see if faculty names could be listed as part of the program description.
