What is an ASEE Fellow

The Grade of Fellow is one of unusual professional distinction and is conferred by the Board of Directors upon an ASEE member with outstanding and extraordinary qualifications and experience in engineering or engineering technology education or an allied field, and who has made appropriate and important individual contributions.

Some Summer Observations

Only in America do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten,
---- and buns in packages of eight.

Linda Ellerbee is right to ask, "If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a little noose around your neck?"

It was a Great Annual Conference!

The 106th ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition was held on June 20-23, 1999, in the Charlotte (NC) Convention Center with the theme, "Engineering Education to Serve the World."

A Nostalgic Glance

Fellow Bob Page made the presentation for Session 3552, ASEE '99 Conference: A Nostalgic Look, on Wednesday, June 23 from 2:30 - 4:15.

This report was prepared from notes taken by Mahbub Uddin.

Bob Page showed a video that Larry Grayson had prepared for the 1993 ASEE Centennial on the 1893 (Not a typo) organizational meeting of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education. Larry Grayson was originally scheduled to make the presentation but could not be present because of a financial emergency in the U. S. Department of Education. Some of the highlights of the video included showing many 1893 photographs.

Sixty-seven engineering teachers met in the Division on Education in 1893. Their activities were presided over by Ira Baker. They discussed the following topics: mathematics, European methods, shop training, research, and undergraduate thesis. They also created the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education with an admission fee of $3.00 and an annual dues of $2.00. There were sixty-three founding members and the first meeting was scheduled for the Polytechnic Institute in 1984.

Larry Grayson and Bob Page had assembled some slides which Bob showed. These slides featured some of the old ASEE meetings including the ones at Cornell, the Air Force Academy, the Naval Academy, etc. They had old pictures of ASEE officers and ASEE members. The group present was able to identify almost everyone in the slides.

Bob Page reported that the photographic records of the ASEE have disappeared for some reason and requested that members of the Academy of Fellows who have pictures taken at previous conferences send them either to Larry Grayson or himself. They will probably have a slide made of the picture and return the photo to you.

Bob reports that it was a lot of fun with the very interesting group of 15 to 20 that participated. He suggests another time slot for the Fellows sponsored session in future conferences because a lot of people, this editor included, reported having conflicts.

Minutes of the Academy of Fellows Breakfast Meeting on Wednesday, June 23 from 7 to 8:15 AM. Charlotte, NC

Chairperson Bill LeBold opened the meeting at 7:00AM by welcoming the new Fellows. Everyone introduced himself or herself, new and old Fellows alike.

The minutes of the 1998 Meeting in Seattle were moved, seconded and passed.

It was decided that Bob Page would chair Session 3552. Larry Grayson had made his video of 150 years of ASEE history available to Bob. All photographic records from the earlier years have been lost. The Session was to be in Room 210 at 2:30.

Discussion on the Year 2000 Annual Conference in St. Louis:

It was agreed that the ASEE Fellows should participate fully during all Sessions and the planning of sessions, making their special contributions where possible.

St. Louis is an auspicious place for the 2000 Annual Conference.

It was agreed that former ASEE presidents would add a very special value to the conference. Several names were mentioned. Lyle Feisel volunteered to contact the Order of Tattered Purple Badges to have as many of them (The Past ASEE Presidents) as possible come to the conference. Many ASEE Past Presidents are Fellows.

Art Murphy said that DuPont would also be having its 200 anniversary next year. He will contact the Chemical Heritage Society for their participation.

It was agreed that it would be of particular value to have corporations that hire engineers participate on the program at the 2000 Conference. They have hired thousand of engineers from the schools represented by the ASEE. Bill LeBold will contact the Corporate Member Council to encourage such participation.

Ed Jones invited everyone to look beyond the 50 States as well.

John Weese said that it is easier to get fellows from the large institutions to participate.

The Nominating Committee:
Cary Fisher made a report by e-mail on behalf of the Nominating Committee. They analyzed the Fellow Criteria, did a survey, and decided to keep the Criteria the same. It was concluded that international and non-ASEE contributions are important and should be considered. But, such individuals need to be more than members of the ASEE in name only. There must be high level service to the ASEE/ABET as well. 

Chairperson LeBold named Bob Page (Chair) and George Burnett as continuing members of the Nominating Committee. He called for another nomination from the floor. Angelo Perna was nominated to be the new member of the Committee by Deran Hanasian. His nomination was approved by acclamation.

Newsletter:
It was agreed that Felicia Guglielmi would put the Academy News on the ASEE Website.

Fellows Pins:
Fellows Pins are available at ASEE headquarters for those who may have lost them.

Resolutions:
Bob Page delivered a commemorative resolution on behalf of Don Marlowe. Bill LeBold noted the passing of Al Ingersoll and Charlie Wales.

The meeting adjourned at 8:15.

Respectfully submitted by:
Lawrence J. Wolf
Vice Chair and Secretary

Smiles of Remembrance

Charlie Wales

Dear Bill and Larry:

I just heard from Don Woods that Charlie Wales of West Virginia University, who influenced the teaching careers of many of us, died onSunday, May 16, 1999, at age 70.

Woods writes that Charlie had a major impact on how he teaches. Don went to a workshop at the University of Guelph that Lee Harrisbergerran, and the books on Guided Design by Wales and Stager were featured. He attended three workshops on Guided Design that Charlie gave, and he always came away with something new. The guided design concept was new, and way ahead of its time. He and his colleagues described the basis for what is now called small group, self-directed, problem-based learning. If anyone needed an example case in any discipline, all they had to do was call Charlie and the material would be in the mail immediately.

Woods remembers having lunch with Charlie at the ASEE meeting in Rochester. He asked Charlie about his attendance at that particular meeting, and he quietly said that he was due to receive the Chester F. Carlson Award. No fanfare, just a quiet statement. Woods also remembers Charlie as being gracious and helpful. When Don had finished writing a book on problem-based learning and was seeking comments to improve sales of this self-published effort, Charlie gave it a prompt and enthusiastic endorsement. This encouragement meant a lot to him.

I have vivid memories of Charlie at my first ASEE annual conference, at UCLA in 1968. I went to the ERM banquet and met an astonishingly energetic (to me) group of people, one of whom was Charlie. He was a forceful personality, full of ideas, very knowledgeable about the state of engineering education at the time, and possessed of a wry sense of humor that appealed to me. I always looked forward to seeing him at meetings, and never failed to learn something important from him.

Many of us are indebted to Charles E. Wales. We will miss him. A memorial service was held at Brandonville, WV, on Saturday, May 22. If anyone wishes to send condolences or messages to his wife Sandra and their four children, the e-mail address is: writersbl@aol.com

Hope to see you both in Charlotte--best regards,
Jim Stice

Al Ingersoll

As some of you may have noticed in the May 19 Los Angeles Times, Al Ingersoll died on May 6 of leukemia in Crescent City, California, just south of his retirement home in Brookings, Oregon. Al was Director of UCLA Extension's continuing engineering education program from 1969 to 1981 and also had an appointment in the UCLA School of Engineering & Applied Science, following service from 1960 to 1969 as Dean of Engineering at USC. He also taught Civil Engineering at Cal Tech from 1950 to 1960. He was 78 years old.

I've had the privilege of knowing him for nearly 20 years through a mutual professional affiliation with the American Society for Engineering Education and last saw him at the 1998 ASEE Annual Conference in Seattle in June 1998.

At that time he was still the most energetic and active septuagenarian that I have ever seen. He was always a strong presence at conferences, sitting in the front rows and often the first one to ask a question of speakers in his deeply resonant voice and proudly mentioning his UCLA affiliation.

For any of you "old-timers", his home address was:
3 Otter Terrace
Brookings, OR 97415.

Pun Time

A man sent ten different puns to a local paper's pun contest in the hope that at least one would win.- - Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

Simple versus real

A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

A simple friend seeks to talk with you about their problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.

A simple friend wonders about your romantic history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it.

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had a fight.

It was a Great Annual Conference!

The 106th ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition was held on June 20-23, 1999, in the Charlotte (NC) Convention Center with the theme, "Engineering Education to Serve the World."

A Nostalgic Glance

Fellow Bob Page made the presentation for Session 3552, ASEE '99 Conference: A Nostalgic Look, on Wednesday, June 23 from 2:30 - 4:15.

This report was prepared from notes taken by Mahbub Uddin.

Bob Page showed a video that Larry Grayson had prepared for the 1993 ASEE Centennial on the 1893 (Not a typo) organizational meeting of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education.

Minutes of the Academy of Fellows Breakfast Meeting on Wednesday, June 23 from 7 to 8:15 AM. Charlotte, NC

Chairperson Bill LeBold opened the meeting at 7:00AM by welcoming the new Fellows. Everyone introduced himself or herself, new and old Fellows alike.

The minutes of the 1998 Meeting in Seattle were moved, seconded and passed.

It was decided that Bob Page would chair Session 3552. Larry Grayson had made his video of 150 years of ASEE history available to Bob. All photographic records from the earlier years have been lost. The Session was to be in Room 210 at 2:30.

Discussion on the Year 2000 Annual Conference in St. Louis:

It was agreed that the ASEE Fellows should participate fully during all Sessions and the planning of sessions, making their special contributions where possible.

St. Louis is an auspicious place for the 2000 Annual Conference.

It was agreed that former ASEE presidents would add a very special value to the conference. Several names were mentioned. Lyle Feisel volunteered to contact the Order of Tattered Purple Badges to have as many of them (The Past ASEE Presidents) as possible come to the conference. Many ASEE Past Presidents are Fellows.

Art Murphy said that DuPont would also be having its 200 anniversary next year. He will contact the Chemical Heritage Society for their participation.

It was agreed that it would be of particular value to have corporations that hire engineers participate on the program at the 2000 Conference. They have hired thousand of engineers from the schools represented by the ASEE. Bill LeBold will contact the Corporate Member Council to encourage such participation.

Ed Jones invited everyone to look beyond the 50 States as well.

John Weese said that it is easier to get fellows from the large institutions to participate.

The Nominating Committee:
Cary Fisher made a report by e-mail on behalf of the Nominating Committee. They analyzed the Fellow Criteria, did a survey, and decided to keep the Criteria the same. It was concluded that international and non-ASEE contributions are important and should be considered. But, such individuals need to be more than members of the ASEE in name only. There must be high level service to the ASEE/ABET as well. 

Chairperson LeBold named Bob Page (Chair) and George Burnett as continuing members of the Nominating Committee. He called for another nomination from the floor. Angelo Perna was nominated to be the new member of the Committee by Deran Hanasian. His nomination was approved by acclamation.

Newsletter:
It was agreed that Felicia Guglielmi would put the Academy News on the ASEE Website.

Fellows Pins:
Fellows Pins are available at ASEE headquarters for those who may have lost them.

Resolutions:
Bob Page delivered a commemorative resolution on behalf of Don Marlowe. Bill LeBold noted the passing of Al Ingersoll and Charlie Wales.

The meeting adjourned at 8:15.

Respectfully submitted by:
Lawrence J. Wolf
Vice Chair and Secretary

Smiles of Remembrance

Charlie Wales

Dear Bill and Larry:

I just heard from Don Woods that Charlie Wales of West Virginia University, who influenced the teaching careers of many of us, died onSunday, May 16, 1999, at age 70.

Woods writes that Charlie had a major impact on how he teaches. Don went to a workshop at the University of Guelph that Lee Harrisbergerran, and the books on Guided Design by Wales and Stager were featured. He attended three workshops on Guided Design that Charlie gave, and he always came away with something new. The guided design concept was new, and way ahead of its time. He and his colleagues described the basis for what is now called small group, self-directed, problem-based learning. If anyone needed an example case in any discipline, all they had to do was call Charlie and the material would be in the mail immediately.

Woods remembers having lunch with Charlie at the ASEE meeting in Rochester. He asked Charlie about his attendance at that particular meeting, and he quietly said that he was due to receive the Chester F. Carlson Award. No fanfare, just a quiet statement. Woods also remembers Charlie as being gracious and helpful. When Don had finished writing a book on problem-based learning and was seeking comments to improve sales of this self-published effort, Charlie gave it a prompt and enthusiastic endorsement. This encouragement meant a lot to him.

I have vivid memories of Charlie at my first ASEE annual conference, at UCLA in 1968. I went to the ERM banquet and met an astonishingly energetic (to me) group of people, one of whom was Charlie. He was a forceful personality, full of ideas, very knowledgeable about the state of engineering education at the time, and possessed of a wry sense of humor that appealed to me. I always looked forward to seeing him at meetings, and never failed to learn something important from him.

Many of us are indebted to Charles E. Wales. We will miss him. A memorial service was held at Brandonville, WV, on Saturday, May 22. If anyone wishes to send condolences or messages to his wife Sandra and their four children, the e-mail address is: writersbl@aol.com

Hope to see you both in Charlotte--best regards,
Jim Stice

Al Ingersoll

As some of you may have noticed in the May 19 Los Angeles Times, Al Ingersoll died on May 6 of leukemia in Crescent City, California, just south of his retirement home in Brookings, Oregon. Al was Director of UCLA Extension's continuing engineering education program from 1969 to 1981 and also had an appointment in the UCLA School of Engineering & Applied Science, following service from 1960 to 1969 as Dean of Engineering at USC. He also taught Civil Engineering at Cal Tech from 1950 to 1960. He was 78 years old.

I've had the privilege of knowing him for nearly 20 years through a mutual professional affiliation with the American Society for Engineering Education and last saw him at the 1998 ASEE Annual Conference in Seattle in June 1998.

At that time he was still the most energetic and active septuagenarian that I have ever seen. He was always a strong presence at conferences, sitting in the front rows and often the first one to ask a question of speakers in his deeply resonant voice and proudly mentioning his UCLA affiliation.

For any of you "old-timers", his home address was:
3 Otter Terrace
Brookings, OR 97415.

Simple versus real

A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

A simple friend seeks to talk with you about their problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.

A simple friend wonders about your romantic history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it.

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had a fight.
