Desktop Delta-V is a one-day workshop focusing on the topic of safe and sustainable space propulsion systems that can be assembled and tested in a university or similar engineering laboratory setting.
The event continues our series of emerging space technology workshops (ChipSat Feb, 2010 and Nanosatellite Launch Vehicles Nov, 2008). This year, the meeting will also co-collaborate in real time with a mirror workshop at Strathclyde University, Glasgow, Scotland.
As with previous workshops, we anticipate spirited interchanges among those developing hardware technologies and those developing space mission applications.
Connection with ENGN1760
Each year the Space Technology Workshop Series overlaps a topic covered in ENGN1760 "Machine Design" -- a capstone course focused on space systems engineering and spacecraft mission applications. In addition to developing their own spacecraft design, "176" students participate in the space technology workshop on equal footing with invited professionals from institutions such as NASA JPL, DARPA, and other universities involved in space engineering.
Class enrollment is limited to 20 and we encourage those interested to consider ENGN1760 while openings remain. For details, please contact Rick Fleeter -- Rick_Fleeter@brown.edu
Free Guest Passes for Brown Students and Faculty
The workshop is a paid event (normally $195). For students and faculty of Brown University, a limited number of free guest pass badges will be made available.

Duke University Robert J. Melosh Medal Competition for the Best Student Paper on Finite Element Analysis
The Robert J. Melosh Medal Competition was inaugurated in 1989 to honor Professor Melosh, a pioneering researcher in finite element methods and former chairman of civil and environmental engineering at Duke. In a professional career that included working at Boeing, Philco-Ford Laboratory, and MARC Analysis and Research Corporation, as well as teaching at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the University of Washington, Virginia Tech, and Duke University, Professor Melosh made significant and varied contributions to the finite element method. The Competition was established in view of his body of work, and aims to reflect Professor Melosh's dedication to the education of young engineers and researchers by providing a forum for student researchers to present their work and interact with each other and with leading researchers in the field. The winner of the competition, as determined on the basis of a submitted extended abstract and oral presentation of the paper, receives the Robert J. Melosh Medal and a $500 honorarium.
The competition is conducted in two primary phases. Initially, extended abstracts are reviewed by a panel of distinguished researchers in computational mechanics. Based on this review process, the top six papers are selected as finalists, and their student authors are invited to participate in the second phase of the competition, a symposium at Duke University on April 29, 2011.
The symposium features lectures by the members of the distinguished judging panel, as well as talks by all the selected finalists. After the selection of the finalists and the symposium itself, the finalists will be given the opportunity to prepare a full-length manuscript for inclusion in the journal Finite Elements in Analysis and Design. The deadline for the extended abstracts, which are to be between three and five pages in length, is January 7, 2011.
Details concerning the submission of papers for the annual competition can be found at www.cee.duke.edu/melosh.

Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) 2011 Summer Institute
HST Summer Institute, 2011
The Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) is sponsoring its 2011 Summer Institute with one track in Bioinformatics and Integrative Genomics (BIG) and one in Biomedical Optics. We would like to invite undergraduate students from your institution to visit our website at http://web.mit.edu/
The Summer Institute in Bioinformatics and Integrative Genomics offers an intensive internship that includes classes, research projects and training in technical communication. Classes with clinical researchers meet twice a week; the mentored research projects, carried out under the supervision of investigators at Harvard Medical School, the Harvard teaching hospitals and MIT, may, and often do, result in refereed publications. The labs are located in various Harvard Medical School sites, including Children's Hospital and the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Please note that this is a research-oriented program for students who aspire to a career involving research in genetics/genomics and/or bioinformatics/computer science and related disciplines. Our partner for the program is the i2b2 National Center for Biomedical Computing. Contact this program by email to bigsummer@mit.edu. Through this contact, applicants may also be connected with the director of the program.
The MGH Summer Institute in Biomedical Optics is run by the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). During the summer, students attend a graduate level class, work on a specific project in a lab, and receive additional training in technical communications and responsible conduct of research. The mentors in this program are academically demanding; they are looking for students with strong math and physics backgrounds as well as biology. Contact this program by email to BioOpticsSummerInstitute@
So far, we've had rave reviews for both programs!
We are looking for a combination of academic excellence and diversity in our summer students. Underrepresented minority students are encouraged to apply. The lab descriptions on the website state more specific requirements for Biomedical Optics. In the Bioinformatics program, students will be matched with a lab based on their stated interests and dialogue with the program director.
While the idea of a joint program at both Harvard and MIT may be intimidating to some students, please know that lab mentors are aware that undergraduates are not post-docs, and that their job as mentors is to encourage, not dissuade, students from pursuing research. Boston is a lovely place to be in the summer with our long days and ideal climate, and a big part of our job is to make sure students have fun, meet lots of people, and feel well cared for.
Please submit the application and transcript by January 31, 2011. Two letters of recommendation are also required.
Please visit our website for more information at: http://web.mit.edu/hstsummer. (There is a poster available advertising each program at the bottom of the initial webpage.)
Note: Students are required to attend the entire nine weeks (with rare exceptions made when school schedules or presentation opportunities are an issue), and must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Housing is provided on the MIT campus.

For more information/questions, contact Deepti Pradhan at Tilde.Cafe@gmail.com
Visit http://www.tildecafe.org/ for info and updates
The desire to fly faster, fuel efficient and more comfortable/quieter aircrafts has placed on unprecedented demand on new materials for aircraft engines. Aircraft engines use a variety of materials for the different components within the engine depending on whether they are rotating or static parts and whether they are in the front or aft of the combustion chamber. Engine manufacturers have become incredibly innovative with engine design and material usage. To a significant extent, processing technology has played a key role in enabling these innovations and designs. The current materials used in the engine however are operating at close to their melting temperatures and the quest for new materials that can operate the engine hotter has been underway and is one of the biggest technological challenges in Materials Science. In this discussion/presentation, I will highlight the anatomy of a jet engine, identify the parts we will focus on and then outline some of the enabling technologies as we transition from the early engines through the current day engine and the kind of thinking that is evolving from a Materials standpoint and design standpoint for the engines in the twenty-first century.

Graduate School Fellowship Opportunities
The Presidential Management Fellowship Program, administered by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), is the Federal Government’s cornerstone succession planning program to help agencies meet their critical need for leadership continuity. Since 1977, the PMF Program has helped Federal agencies meet their workforce and succession planning needs by attracting outstanding master’s and doctoral-level students to Federal service.
Graduate students from all academic disciplines who expect to complete an advanced degree (master's or doctoral) during the 2010 - 2011 academic year are eligible to be nominated for the upcoming application period. Students can use this two-year fellowship as a stepping stone to highly visible and respected leadership positions in the Federal Government.
Individuals applying to the PMF Program must be officially nominated by their dean, chair, or DGS. For more information, please visit the PMF Program listing on the Graduate School's Funding Database.
The Brown-Tougaloo Partnership (BTP) Faculty Fellows Program is designed to offer advanced graduate students at Brown the opportunity to teach undergraduate courses at Tougaloo College in Tougaloo, Mississippi, and aims to develop proficiency in undergraduate teaching, fully-immerse graduate students in faculty life, experience delivering instruction to a diverse student population in a rural, college setting, and to enhance core curricular offerings at Tougaloo College. All expenses are paid by the Brown-Tougaloo Partnership, the Graduate School, and Tougaloo College.
Fourth- or fifth-year doctoral candidates from all academic disciplines are eligible to apply for this fellowship. Applicants must have teaching experience (or complete training from Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning prior to departure to Tougaloo College), obtain DGS approval, and identify a faculty mentor at Tougaloo College. For more information, please visit the BTP Faculty Fellows listing on the Graduate School's Funding Database.
Students with questions or concerns about either opportunity can direct them to Assistant Dean of Recruiting and Professional Development Jabbar Bennett.

Intel's Rotation Engineers Program
Launch your engineering career working side-by-side with the industry's leading technologists on high profile projects across the corporation. Intel's Rotation Engineers Program (REP) is a full-time, 18-month technical development program for top recent college graduates with technical degrees (BS, MS, or PhD) and strong leadership skills.
Technical groups strategically and exclusively select and host program participants for three six-month rotations and provide final placement at the end of the program. Developed through the choice of rotations, as well as special training, mentoring and career coaching, rotation engineers assume influential positions as technical contributors and leaders.
Rotation selection is flexible and based on the rotation engineer's individual skills and career interests as well as the needs of the hosting group. While there's a great deal of variety among rotations they all share a common feature—each is challenging, specifically selected to provide a key experience in the growth of the engineer's career and has a direct impact on the technology development of the group.
For more information, check out the REP website: http://www.intel.com/jobs/usa/students/programs/rep.htm
