Eight Hope College
students have received Dean's Science Division Research Awards; Jon
Barrus, Tim Bonman, Amanda Brisbin, Emilie Dykstra, Justin Mark Lunderberg,
Chelsea Schrotenboer, David Visser, and Timothy Wahmhoff. These awards
provide stipends for summer research, and there has been a recipient
named for each department within the division. (Press
Release)
Hope undergraduates
students and Hope engineering professor Michael Misovich
recently co-authored an article appearing in the January 2007 issue
of Chemical Engineering Progress (CEP). Andy DeDoes (Hope
student from 2003-2006) and Matt Goetz (’06)
worked with Misovich on the article, entitled “A Simple Approach
to Vapor Pressure Prediciton”. CEP is billed as a publication
“by chemical engineering professionals for chemical engineering
professional” and their standards are such that they rarely
publish undergraduate work. CEP is a flagship publication of the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers, an organization with 40,000 members
in 93 countries, which fosters advancement in the field of chemical
engineering.
Hope Students
participated in the Michigan Autumn Take Home (MATH) Challenge. The
students spent 3 hours working in teams of 2 or 3 on 10 challenging
mathematics problems.
The participants
were Jackie Lewis, Samantha Dunmire, Brian McLellan, Mandy
Ferguson, Jeffrey Meyers, Kimberly Klask, Dan Lithio, Martha Precup,
Forrest Gordon, Josh Kinder, and Chris Hall. Dan, Martha,
and Forrest were Hope's top team, placing 8th. Taylor University,
Michigan Tech, and Kalamazoo College were in a three-way tie for first
place.
Another team mathematics
competition, the Lower Michigan Mathematics Competition, will take
place in early April, when teams from schools in Lower Michigan will
vie for the rights to the coveted Klein bottle trophy above (shown
in the first floor VWF display case, where we hope it will reside
next year!).
