Civil Engineering to Partner with U.S. Navy
More info:
The Russ College Department of Civil Engineering and the U.S. Navy/Naval
Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC), located in Port Hueneme, CA,
have signed an educational partnership agreement that will enable Ohio
University to develop joint proposals with the Navy; share personnel,
equipment and facilities; and potentially receive research contracts.
The agreement aims for the two organizations to share staff expertise,
unique facilities and equipment, and projects and data. NFESC personnel may
help develop Ohio University courses or visit Ohio University to teach
science, mathematics, engineering, and environmental health science courses.
In turn, Russ College faculty and staff may teach at NFESC or participate in
research. This will enable Russ College faculty and staff to obtain
experience otherwise not available in a college environment, as well as to
benefit from the NFESC's research findings. The exchange also will help Russ
College researchers stay abreast of new technology and other industry
developments, and will help encourage student interest in the sciences and
engineering.

Aeromobile Takes Honorable Mention
More info:
Students in the Fritz J. and Dolores H. Russ College of Engineering and
Technology won an honorable mention in NASA's recent Revolutionary Vehicle
Student Competition. The Russ College students won $1,000 for their
"aeromobile," or flying car, entry.
Held August 2 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the awards ceremony commemorated the
first year of awards in the college division of the NASA Revolutionary
Vehicle Concepts and Systems Student Competition. Forty-five university
students and faculty met at the Experimental Aircraft Association's
AirVenture 2003, hosted by The NASA Langley Research Center Aerospace
Vehicle Systems Technology Office. Ohio University was one of ten schools
competing. Entries were evaluated and scored against a set of standard
criteria by a group of twelve professionals from NASA and Pratt & Whitney of
the United Technologies Corporation.
"This was a great experience for the students to present their project to
industry professionals and see what other college students are doing at
other universities," said Dr. Jim Zhu, professor of Electrical Engineering
and advisor to the project.

RoboCats Return From Italy
More info:
The Ohio University Russ College RoboCats team competed in the 2003
international autonomous mobile robot competition RoboCup, held in Padua,
Italy, this July.
RoboCup, wherein robots compete in the game of soccer, aims to to promote
intelligent robotics research by providing a common task for evaluation of
various theories, algorithms, and agent architectures. The Russ College's
robots are small, box-shaped gadgets that play on a surface about 10 feet
wide by 15 feet long.
A generous private donation from an Ohio University graduate enabled the
13-member team and three faculty members to travel to Italy for the
international competition. Over 11 days, teams in leagues of various sizes
competed in qualifying rounds, semi-finals and finals.
Although the RoboCats team didn't win any of its three matches in the
21-team, small-size league, they learned from watching the teams who
advanced and from attending a student poster session and lectures by leading
industry researchers.
