Alabama Epsilon 2015-2016
July 1, 2016 Tau Beta Pi Awards Committee C/o Mr. Curt Gomulinski PO Box 2697 Knoxville, TN 37901 Dear Award Committee Members: This letter is to enthusiastically recommend the Alabama Epsilon Tau Beta Pi chapter for the R.C. Matthews Award as the outstanding TBP chapter. One of the most impressive aspects of our TBP student leadership this year is that when Alabama Epsilon won the award for 2014-15, their reaction was not to rest on their laurels, but immediately set a goal of doing even more in the coming year. My recommendation is based on the phenomenal record of achievement that the chapter has compiled this year and my belief that the student members richly deserve the recognition. You have a listing of the many projects and activities that the chapter completed in the past year, but I want to highlight the impact that a few of these have had on the College of Engineering and the community. First is in outreach and student recruitment programs. The reports detail their extensive volunteer efforts with a wide variety of these events, including the Engineering Open House for more than 500 middle school students during National Engineers Week, mentoring of middle and high school teams for the BEST Robotics competition, working with Boys & Girls Club STEM activities, and many others. As Dean of Engineering, I can speak directly to the impact that the TPB chapter has on our current students, as well. The resume and interviewing workshop was a highlight for students and provided them with the opportunity to receive constructive feedback from the many industry representatives who gave of their time and talent to spend the day in one-on-one sessions with our engineering students. TBP members have served as supplemental instructors in the most challenging engineering courses as a Peer Leaders in freshman seminars, improving student academic success. The “Professor of the Year” award is presented annually at a college-wide faculty meeting and truly commands the attention of the entire college, as it is a recognition from the very best students. The faculty member who receives the award is also highlighted at the annual Awards and Recognition Luncheon attended by industry leaders throughout the area and the university administration. Our Tau Bates are also fully engaged with the Mobile community and are wonderful ambassadors for the college and the university. These students were the hosts for the Alabama Engineering Hall of Fame induction ceremony this year, adding a special touch to an event that is attended by the most prominent and accomplished engineers and

engineering companies in the state. They hosted our tailgating activities at home football games, volunteered at Women’s and Children’s Hospital, and organized a very successful “Pi Day” celebration during the Mobile Area Science and Engineering Fair. Through these and other activities documented in the report, Alabama Epsilon raises the awareness of the college and the profession throughout Mobile and the state. The Awards and Recognition Luncheon is a highlight of our academic year at the University of South Alabama. It attracts students, faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters of the College and provides an opportunity to recognize outstanding students, faculty, and the companies that support our students. The TBP members serve a very special role by serving as hosts for the incoming freshman students and their parents. They provide tours of the engineering facilities before the luncheon and sit with the new students at the luncheon, making them feel welcome and serving as great role models. The Chapter has successfully used scholarship funds we receive as a result of Chapter Project Awards to recognize the outstanding sophomore. The Tau Beta Pi Outstanding Sophomore is a highly coveted award. Another new initiative this year had its genesis in the desire of the TBP officers to make lower division students more aware of how special and important TBP has become and thereby inspire them to strive for excellence in their studies and eventually become eligible for membership. To achieve that goal, they initiated a “Tau Beta Pi Week” in the fall. Each day there were activities focusing on some aspect of engineering. Perhaps the highlight was “Pi a Professor” day when select faculty members volunteered to be pied with the proceeds going to the Boys & Girls Clubs. Overall, the entire college engaged in the activities which clearly had the desired effect of making all students and faculty more aware of our TBP chapter. As documented in the chapter’s annual report, there are many other projects and activities that I could highlight. However, it is really important to note the overall impact of all of these efforts: we simply would not be nearly as successful as a college without our TBP chapter. The Alabama Epsilon Chapter is truly outstanding and one of the very best assets of the College of Engineering at the University of South Alabama. I cannot imagine a TBP chapter more deserving of the R.C. Matthews Award. Sincerely,
John W. Steadman, PE, Ph.D. Dean

I. General Description: As part of the Alabama Epsilon chapter’s first ever TBП Week, members and engineering students participated in an “Integral Beta,” a calculus-based integral competition. Prior to the competition, TBП members assembled a large integral database. The competition was divided into timed rounds of increasing integral difficulty. Each competitor was provided paper and pencil for each round, and the task was to successfully compute as many integrals as possible in the time allotted for each round. At the conclusion of each round, judges scored the results, and students proceeded to the next round based on the number of correct responses. The competition proceeded in this way until only one competitor remained, who was declared the winner.
II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBП: This event served to make the Alabama Epsilon’s first ever TBП Week a successful endeavor. Specifically, the Integral Beta provided a fun and competitive environment for motivated students to test their calculus knowledge while engaging with other like-minded engineering students. The event promoted Tau Beta Pi to rising freshmen and sophomores, and those who may not have known about the organization prior to attending the competition.

General Description: Members and Electees sold pie tins filled with shaving cream at two
dollars each to engineering students to throw at the professor working the booth. All profits raised were given to the local Boys and Girls club for hosting Engaging Youth in Engineering modules. First, a committee was formed within a regular Tau Beta Pi chapter meeting to delegate the event. The committee then went to several professors in each engineering discipline and asked them to volunteer. Once a list was made, an email was sent to the entire college with the times each professor signed up for. Committee members then gathered supplies for the event: shaving cream, tarps, paper towels, and shower camps. Finally, a poster was made with the pi a professor schedule and placed in the lobby so students passing by might see when their favorite professor would be working the booth. On the day of the event, volunteers set up tables to place the pies on, tarps on the ground to catch the shaving cream, and a tent for shade an hour before starting. During the event, one volunteer would collect the money while another would make the pies. In addition, several volunteers would be going around to encourage students to come pie a professor.
II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBΠ: This project promotes the name of Tau Beta Pi
while promoting science and the engineering society to local children at the Boys and Girls Club.
III. Organization & Administration: In conjunction with another group? Yes No IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: The chapter purchased supplies such as: shaving cream, trash
bags, etc. However, all cost were made back from the fundraiser.

I. General Description: The President of the Tau Beta Pi chapter, Bradley Harris, attended a reception for engineering students who performed well during the fall 2015 school year. The reception was organized by the College of Engineering. The students in attendance ranged from freshman to juniors. Bradley congratulated the students on behalf of Tau Beta Pi and discussed the benefits of Tau Beta Pi for the students. Additionally, several engineering faculty members stressed the importance of undergraduate research to the students, and discussed how that research could be continued into graduate school. Ten freshmen were recognized for earning 4.0 GPAs for the fall semester. Flash drives were presented to the freshmen.
II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBП: This event served to promote Tau Beta Pi in two ways. One, it introduced Tau Beta Pi as the premiere honor society for the College of Engineering. It was also an opportunity to promote Tau Beta Pi to high performing freshmen and sophomores who are likely to be eligible for membership.
III. Organization & Administration: In conjunction with another group? Yes No College of Engineering
IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: The cost for each flash drive is $5.90. A larger quantity was ordered in 2013 to receive a discount. These will be available for several more years.
V. Special Problems: The Dean individually distributed the drives to freshmen who were unable to attend the reception.
VI. Overall Evaluation/Results: The event was extremely successful. The Alabama Epsilon Chapter of Tau Beta Pi was able to publicize the society directly to a group of students who are likely to be eligible for membership in the upcoming semesters.

The Tau Beta Pi Association Chapter Project Report _____________________________________________________________________________________ Project name: High School Recruitment Calls Date(s) of Project: May 2016 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Target Audience: Community/ University/ Profession/ Chapter/ Education: Liberal Culture College Engineering Social Prof Development ____________________________________________________________________________ Participants in project: See attached list Members: 37 Electees: 0 _____________________________________________________________________________ Hours spent on this project: Organizing: 2 Participating: 2 _____________________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION OR INDEX TO ATTACHED DESCRIPTION I. General Description: The Engineering Dean asks the chapter to call high school seniors who
have been awarded scholarships, but have not yet accepted, in an effort to help recruit these students to study engineering at The University of South Alabama. Tau Bates volunteered to contact these scholarship recipients and talk with them about USA’s engineering program.
II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBΠ: The project was initiated to encourage high
school graduates to attend the Engineering College at South Alabama. III. Organization & Administration: In conjunction with another group? Yes No
The list of scholarship winners was obtained from the Admissions office and assigned to Tau Bates, matched by majors and hometowns. A script was generated to use in the calls. (See attached script)
IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: None V. Special Problems: The University has changed the scholarship process, as well as the number of
scholarships, which has almost doubled the number of scholarships awarded. However, students no longer “apply” for scholarships, but are automatically awarded scholarships. This has resulted in a much larger number of students not accepting their scholarships. Therefore the calls by TBΠ members were less effective this year.
VI. Overall Evaluation/Results: As of the beginning of April, 311 high school seniors had been
offered scholarships to the University of South Alabama, in the college of engineering, and 130 of these students had not accepted the scholarship. After Tau Beta Pi members made calls to 63 of these students, 7 additional high school seniors (11 % of the 63) accepted the awarded scholarships and are due to start at USA in the fall. This result is far less than last year’s 47%, so we need to evaluate the cost/benefits of this project for next year.

I. General Description: The MathCounts competition is sponsored by the National Society of Professional Engineers to interest middle school students in the engineering profession. Student teams competed against one another by taking math tests. The TBΠ members who volunteered served as graders for the MathCounts tests at the Regional and at the State Competitions.
The students completed in rounds where the members of each team worked packets of math problems. The rounds consisted of Rounds 1 and 2, a Team Round, and an Exhibition Round. Rounds 1 and 2 consisted of 40 problems each and were timed such that each student worked a packet. After the completion of each round, the packets were graded against an answer sheet and the scores for member and the cumulative score for each team were recorded. The team round was divided into 4 sub rounds where the members on each team worked together. There were two problems per sub-round, and each sub-round was timed. The scores for each school were recorded at the end of the team round. The exhibition round was completed by the top 10 students after the team round and lunch. The top school and top students were awarded trophies and plaques after the exhibition round.

November 5, 2015 To the family of Kyle E. Albritton, Kyle has recently been selected for membership in the engineering honor society, Tau Beta Pi. This is a very important recognition of the accomplishments of outstanding students in the College of Engineering at the University of South Alabama. On behalf of all the members of the faculty, I extend to you and Kyle sincere congratulations. You are cordially invited to a reception honoring the new members at 1:45 p.m. on Thursday, November 12, 2015 in the atrium of Shelby Hall. This reception immediately follows the initiation ceremony, which is open only to TBP members and the initiates. Tau Beta Pi is the second oldest Greek-letter honor society in America; the oldest is Phi Beta Kappa. Both societies are well known and respected throughout the United States. The latter is restricted to students in the liberal arts, while Tau Beta Pi offers recognition for superior scholarship and exemplary character to engineering students and professionals. Tau Beta Pi was established at the University of South Alabama in 1990 and is a major student organization in this college. The Alabama Epsilon Chapter is an honor society that pays tribute to outstanding students and provides a vehicle for these students to assume leadership roles in the college and be of distinctive service. The members of Tau Beta Pi participate in activities that benefit the university community and add to the liberal education of engineering students. Each chapter selects service projects of interest to the members. Past chapters have assisted with the Engineering Open House and other pre-college activities and hosted seminars for engineering students. The chapter honors an outstanding faculty member with a Professor of the Year Award. Members are recognized at graduation by wearing the Tau Beta Pi stole. I am especially happy to announce that the USA chapter was recently honored with the R. C. Matthews Award for the most outstanding chapter in the United States. As a member myself for many years, I heartily applaud Kyle‘s membership in Tau Beta Pi. Sincerely,
John W. Steadman, P. E. Ph.D. Dean

General Description: A chapter member designed a polo shirt, with an embroidered emblem,
for the chapter members in 2013. A proposal was submitted to the Student Government Association to pay for additional polos, as a uniform for chapter activities. The members agreed to pay a portion of the cost of the shirts ($5) and remaining cost is shared by the SGA and the chapter. There are two different shirt styles, one for women and the other for the men.
II. Purpose & Relationship to Objectives of TBΠ: This project promotes Tau Beta Pi and gives
recognition to the members. The organization of this project also promoted teamwork between the chapter members.
III. Organization & Administration: In conjunction with another group? Yes No IV. Cost & Personnel Requirements: Total cost for the polo shirts was $694. The Student
Government Association provided $500. Each member pays $5 for a shirt and the chapter funded the remaining cost.
V. Special Problems: None VI. Overall Evaluation/Results: Members are pleased with the design and quality of the shirt. The
polo shirt is a professional way to promote the name and significance of Tau Beta Pi. The shirts are often seen around the college, which gives the chapter increased visibility.
There are 13 shirts remaining, which will be used for the new initiates in the fall.
