>MIDDLE SCHOOLERS ACCEPT THE ARMY?S CYBER CHALLENGE
>
>The U.S. Army is giving middle school students the chance to compete online,
>while developing a love for science, math and technology at the same time.
>eCYBERMISSION is a free, web?based science, math and technology competition
>for students in grades 6 through 9, which the Army hopes will promote
>self?discovery and encourage all students to recognize the real?life
>applications of the science and math disciplines.
>
>Participating teams, comprised of three to four students and a team advisor
>(teacher or school volunteer), identify a problem in their community related
>to one of the four themes: Arts & Entertainment, Environment, Health &
>Safety, or Sports & Recreation. The teams then develop a hypothesis about
>how the problem could be solved, perform research, and finally conduct
>experiments to determine a solution.
>
>To assist the students with their research, eCYBERMISSION provides a variety
>of online tools on their website, including online discussion forums,
>moderated instant messaging chat sessions, and ?CyberGuides?, Army research
>scientists, engineers, soldiers, and civilians that serve as online mentors.
>
>On April 11, 96 regional winning teams were announced on the eCYBERMISSION
>website. Of these, the 16 teams who win first place in their respective
>grades and regions will be invited to Washington D.C. for the eCYBERMISSION
>National Judging and Educational Event being held June 4?10, 2005.

>COMPLETING THE CIRCLE WITH MATH
>
>A student?s success in engineering begins with their success in the subjects
>of math and science. Unfortunately, for various reasons, many students turn
>off to math and science at a young age, and never consider a career in
>engineering as a possible plan for their future.
>
>Two longtime Boston math teachers have set out to prevent this loss of
>interest in math with an outreach program entitled the Math Circle. Dismayed
>by the number of students they encountered who claimed to hate math, Bob and
>Ellen Kaplan decided to create an extracurricular math program to help
>change such attitudes among young people.
>
>Started ten years ago, and open to students ages 5 to 18, the Math Circle
>presents small groups of students with challenging math puzzles to solve.
>The Kaplans have based the Circle on a century?old Eastern European practice
>of student?teacher give?and?take. The groups meet weekly, with each session
>focusing on one specific math topic.
>
>For the Kaplans, the need to make math fun again for students comes from
>their own personal experiences learning the subject growing up. Bob Kaplan
>says he was disinterested in math until he began studying philosophy in high
>school. ?I came to realize [that] to attack the problems I was interested
>in, I?d have to understand some mathematics [...] and then the sheer beauty
>of it just hooked me,? he says.

>NATURE?S COLLABORATORS
>By Bethany Halford
>
>Here?s a little puzzle. What do the undergraduates in these three classes
>have in common? At Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, students
>delicately screw small patches of titanium mesh and stabilizing metal plates
>into the fractured facial ?bones? of plastic skulls. In Houston, sophomores
>and juniors at Rice University peer through microscopes to examine the
>red?stained nuclei of human skin cells. And at the University of Arizona, a
>group of upperclassmen brew beer.
>
>The common link? They are all studying bioengineering, a fast?growing field
>that uses traditional disciplines?like mechanical, electrical, and computer
>engineering?to solve medical and biological problems.
>
>The Johns Hopkins students in Emanuel Horowitz?s and Edward Mueller?s course
>in biomaterials study both living tissue and artificial substances like
>metals, plastics, and ceramics. Bioengineers who specialize in biomaterials
>hunt for materials best suited for making nontoxic artificial joints,
>organs, and other implants that will work safely and reliably within the
>human body, and still withstand a lifetime of wear and tear.
>
>The students in Ann Saterbak?s tissue culture lab at Rice learn how to apply
>their bioengineering skills to the microscopic world of tissue engineering.
>In one experiment, they observe how different types and amounts of serum
>affect the growth of human skin cells. Engineers who work in the hot new
>fields of tissue, cellular, and genetic engineering use the latest advances
>in biology to tackle problems at the cellular and subcellular level. Tissue
>engineers have already figured out ways to grow skin and bone in the lab,
>and someday hope to grow entire organs for transplants.
>
>At the University of Arizona, Mark Riley also teaches about cells in his
>agricultural bioengineering class, but with very different applications.
>Showing students how to brew beer lets Riley demonstrate both microscopic
>and larger scale aspects of agricultural bioengineering. There?s discussion
>of fermentation?the biochemical process used to make everything from beer to
>cheese to certain pharmaceuticals. And Riley focuses on the factors that
>large national breweries have to consider when they make huge vats of the
>stuff.
>
>Bioengineers work on the cutting edge of biology and medicine, which makes
>bioengineering both challenging and lucrative. And because of the aging
>population and its concerns with health issues, job opportunities should
>continue to grow. Still, it?s the chance to use their brains to better the
>world that ultimately attracts bright students to bioengineering. As Johns
>Hopkins? Jamie Spangler puts it, ?I felt that this was definitely something
>where I could benefit society.?

>AND NOW THE HARD PART
>By Barbara Mathias?Riegel
>
>Okay, so an engineer, after much research, comes up with an awesome design
>for a bridge. Now who?s going to make it happen? Enter the engineering
>technologists?respectfully known as ?E.T.s.? No, they don?t build the
>bridge; they supervise the construction crew and make sure it?s done right.
>And when things go wrong, they know what to look for, and how to fix it. But
>while they?re basically known as the hands?on people, they sometimes get
>involved in design as well.
>
>Despite the important role of the engineering technologist, it?s a career
>that typically mystifies high school students, says Ron Burkhardt, assistant
>director of admissions at Purdue University. ?We tell them that engineers
>develop designs and solutions quantitatively; while engineering
>technologists optimize an implement those designs and solutions using proven
>business and industrial practices.? Once this is explained, Burkhardt says,
>?many students want the ?application? aspect of technology.? Translation:
>They realize they want to be E.T.s.
>
>George H. Sehi, dean of engineering and technology at Sinclair Community
>College, in Dayton, Ohio, tells his students that E.T.s are in big demand.
>?They are more valuable because they have the hands?on understanding of the
>system. Industry wants someone who can not only run the machine but be able
>to tell the difference between a signal and just a noise.? More information
>on the rewards of studying engineering technology can be found at
><http://www.eteducation.org> www.eteducation.org.
>
>So it all comes down to what you prefer to do: design or apply the design.
>The good news is that engineers and E.T.s work close together. So there is
>an overlap in their work, J. McDonough, professor of civil engineering,
>says, ?to the point that three or four years after graduation, you can?t
>tell them apart.?

>THE BIONIC DOLPHIN
>
>This month?s engineering marvel takes to the seas, and may give Flipper a
>run for his money!
>
>It was 30 years ago that Thomas ?Doc? Rowe dreamt of building an underwater
>craft that could move in and out of water just like a dolphin. Back then,
>people thought he was crazy. But now, at the age of 52, Doc is finally
>seeing his bionic dolphin make waves in the media.
>
>The mechanical dolphin is buoyant, light, and uses its forward momentum and
>the downward lift of its wings to literally fly under water. This allows the
>watercraft to achieve an amazing level of freestyle performance?sustained
>dives, huge jumps, barrel rolls, and other acrobatic tricks.
>
>One of the dolphins, or Variable Attitude Submersible Hydrofoil (VASH),
>recently showed at the ?Big Boys? Toys? expo in Auckland, New Zealand, and
>made a guest appearance in the Austin Power?s film ?Goldmember.?
>
>With the original prototype no longer in Doc?s possession, he now works with
>his protégé, Rob Innes, to create the dolphins. Innes, along with Dan
>Piazza, has started Innespace Productions, a company dedicated to creating
>and demonstrating high performance submersible watercraft.
>
>The first bionic dolphin, which was completed in 1992, was made of
>fiberglass and weighed about 600 pounds. The dolphins being built today are
>made with tougher materials, such as Kevlar, making them virtually
>bullet?proof. A two?seater model, which will have a 400hp engine, is
>currently in production, and is due out in 2006.
>
>With production costs at thousands of dollars per dolphin, it?s unlikely
>that the bionic dolphin will hit the market anytime soon. For now, Innespace
>books appearances for its dolphins, performing live demonstrations at boat
>shows and race meets. But Doc?s plans for his creation hit closer to home:
>he hopes to build kits, so that people can complete their own dolphins at
>home.
>
