Order of the Engineer: The Order was initiated in the United States in 1970 to foster a spirit of pride and responsibility in the engineering profession and to present to the public a visible symbol identifying the engineer. Those vowing to uphold the “Obligation of the Engineer” receive a ring as a symbol of their pledge. The Order is not a membership organization; there are never any meetings to attend or dues to pay. Family and friends are invited to take part in this celebration. Any engineer who has graduated from an ABET-accredited engineering program or holds a PE license is eligible.

The Harbour Report is a comprehensive annual view of how North American automobile manufacturers stack up on clearly defined metrics of productivity. The evening’s discussion will focus on The Harbour Report 2006 and the story behind it. Who are the best and what separates them from the rest? Which automakers are improving the most? What strategies are different companies pursuing to raise productivity? What does the data show about the future? Which companies have the most unused capacity and what are they doing about it? Some of the findings will surprise you.

| UofM vs OSU Football Challenge | ||||||||||||||||||||
Date: November 16, 2006 (Thursday) Time: 6:30 PM Location NO RSVP REQUIRED Cost Attn: Senior Chapter Members - Vito will buy a beer for any Senior Chapter Member wearing U of M apparel Program Description History of the UM OSU Challenge But overall IIE and Industrial Engineering wins - this year we had 22 new IIE members sign up between both schools!!! The consolation of the challenge - the losing chapter presidents (senior and student chapter) had their pictures featured on all websites (senior and student: Detroit, Columbus, OSU, and U of M) wearing the opposing team's jersey. We got the student chapter president at the Regional Conference - but the Senior chapter president has eluded us so far. So Go Blue! (or Go Green! - hey this is a Michigan vs Ohio thing! we put intrastate rivalries behind us here!) Come on out and have a great evening with the students in support of IIE programs on campus - and build some bridges between the senior chapters and the student chapters. |
