What specific goals do you expect to accomplish for the upcoming month?  Finalize the logistics for nationals  Creating a OGSMR for the chapter  Constructing a way of having CEB elections before Nationals and having some form of a transition process for new eboard members.  Developing CEB email addresses Strategies:  1. This is the portion where you place your ideas on how you will accomplish the goals you set for yourself up above  1. Reserve hotel rooms, decide on transportation, figure out funding  2. Each member of the board will fill out a OGSMR for their position with current and Long run goals ® National Society of Black Engineers University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign  3. I will start with having a CEB shadow program where interested members will actually begin to do the duties of their chosen CEB member. Thus they will get idea of the amount of work that person does or is expected to do. I will leave it up to the CEB to choose his or her shadow, unless someone volunteers.  4. I currently have a Netscape email address for all NSBE presidential matters. The REB using yahoo. No matter what the case many CEB members find that their school email boxes are inundated with email that is NSBE related.  2. Be sure that your strategies are measurable; you want to have something to prove you accomplished it  1.1 reserve hotel rooms by the end of finals and send out funding proposals  2.1 If I will received 9/11 OGSMR from the positions on the board  3.1 If at least one person ones for every position without having to be written in I will consider the shadow initiative successful.  4.1 Have emails account setup for the Spring semester and remain active for there on out Accomplishments:  1.

The bridge must span a 15-inch gap. Therefore, make your bridge longer than 15 inches, ideally 16 inches. 2. The bridge must have a top loading surface that is a minimum of 5 inches in length. 3. The maximum width of the bridge is 3 inches. 4. There are no limitations on height. 5. Only materials and tools purchased from or supplied by the NSBE Official Supply Center may be used for this project. 6. Full pieces of wood that have not been cut or damaged in any way may be returned and the team will not be charged for that piece. However, if the team returns an excessive amount of material compared to what they actually used to build the bridge, they may be assessed a cost penalty for poor inventory management. 7. Additional supplies may be purchased from the Supply Center throughout the project time. The NSBE staff will record and track material usage and costs. 8. ―Borrowing without permission‖ materials or tools from another team, or sabotaging (including ―accidentally falling‖) another project is not considered acceptable behavior. 9. Cutting tools are for the sole purpose of cutting wood. The utmost safety must be used when handling these sharp cutting tools. Cutting tools may only be used on the cardboard surface provided, and GREAT care should be taken to NOT put cuts in the tabletops in the project rooms. 10. You can build beneath the road bed a maximum of 2 inches. NOTE: a solid roadbed is not required. 1. ® National Society of Black Engineers University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 8.

Tools Each team will be provided with the same basic set of tools that should be sufficient to complete the construction—free of charge. Extra materials will be available based on the discretion of the NSBE Staff. This means, if you break something, we will NOT necessarily give you a new item free of charge. All sets will be checked on Thursday to make sure all necessary material is returned. Please return the following list: *Clamps (clothes pins) *Cutting tools *Ruler *Glue *Poster board to work on Team Name:___________________________ Team Logo (optional): Team Number:_______________________ Over the project time, your team will be responsible for creating and maintaining a design report for your project. Your final version will be submitted with your completed project. This report is a WORK IN PROGRESS. It should be updated accordingly and demonstrate daily progression of labor and reflective thinking. Deadlines are important and time is money. Spelling is not a HUGE issue but organization and neatness is. Note: write your answers on NOTEBOOK paper but, PLEASE SUBMIT this form along with those additional papers. This will be used as your final score card. Report should include: explain general reasoning for you design/ material choice for your bridge, which material makes up 50% of your bridge bass, balsa, or even between the two explain the steps your group took to create your bridge From your brief lessons on loads explain how your bridge supports load ® National Society of Black Engineers University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign state which aesthetic form(s) your team chose to exemplify (see below: choose from rhythm or symmetry) You may choose either one or both of the following aesthetic forms: Rhythm: the effect given by consistent repetition across a specific distance. Symmetry: an object that has a mirror image of itself about an axis or a plane. What parts of your bridge building project went well?

The purpose of this weekend is to educate the students about the various fields in which they can major, and also to give a comprehensive view of collegiate life. During the visitation weekend various roundtable discussions and workshops will be held on topics such as: college applications, engineering majors, financial aid, and life as a minority student. This year, to make the visitation more interactive, a new objective has been added, a mini project. During this project, the students are to conduct the most efficient bridge, using the guidelines included in the folder. The ways to best incorporate these skills to succeed and to be become more aware of higher education are to have U of I engineering students provide tours, conduct a student panel, and to facilitate workshops that promote critical thinking skills.
