Rorrer ___________________________________________________________________ CHE/BIOE/ENVE students: The http://engr.oregonstate.edu/students/apps/index.html Over 80 undergraduate awards were given in CBEE this past year! ---- A more stringent incomplete grading policy is now in effect this term.
To insure successful course completion, the student and instructor will fill
out a “contract for completion of “I” grade”,
specifying the date when the coursework is to be completed. Instructors
will issue the student’s current grade along with the “I” at the end of the
term. If the coursework is not completed as
stated in the contract, the “I” will be removed and replaced by the end
of term grade. ---- If you

---- I wish to
draw your attention to the postdoctoral
program at NIST that is run by the National Research Council. It is a
prestigious program - many past NRC postdoctoral fellows have gone on to have
extremely productive careers at NIST, academia and industry. The
NRC web site lists the research opportunities that are currently
available. It is not exhaustive and new projects are always
welcome. The deadline for the application is February 1, 2008 and
it requires submission of a research proposal. We can provide guidance in the
development of a new proposal. The start date is sometime between July
2008 and roughly April 2009. (There are two competitions per year).
