STUDENT HONORS / ACTIVITIES
AE Newsletter - Fall/Winter 2003
AE students Larry Good, Scott Hubler and Rebecca Mittel were first place winners of the ASHRAE 2003 Student Design Project Competition, HVAC System Selection Category. The award included a $1,500 prize plus a trip for one team representative to attend the ASHRAE Winter Meeting in Anaheim, CA in January 2004 to receive the award.

S:PACE Field Trip
On Oct. 24-25, 2003, the student chapter of PACE traveled to Baltimore, MD, to visit several unique PACE company construction sites. Gilbane provided a tour of the Baltimore Detention Center expansion in Towson, MD. Students also visited renovation work at Foundry on Fort and Tide Point, the home office of Struever Brothers, Eccles and Rouse. Barton Malow hosted tours of the University of Maryland’s new Dentistry School and the expansion of the Baltimore Aquarium. The group also visited Hensel Phelps’ expansion of WBI Airport. The S:PACE group would like to thank all of the firms who provided tours for this trip.

Santa’s Helpers
The AE Department once again held the Dear Santa Project to help families in need during the Christmas holiday season. Thanks to the tremendous generosity of the AE faculty, staff and students we received enough donations of toys, clothing and cash to support three “adopted” families with a combined 11 children! Special thanks to the AE student societies, everyone who helped with wrapping the presents (above), and all who played a part in making the holidays a little brighter for others in need.

Halloween Fun
AE faculty, staff and students enjoyed a break from the routine as they celebrated Halloween with an “AE in Vegas” theme. The fun included a costume parade (top, right), the AE office decked out as famous Las Vegas casinos, and an “all you can eat Vegas-style buffet lunch.” AE graduate student Danko Davidovic played an impressive set on his guitar, and AE department head, Rich Behr performed card tricks. Associate professor Bill Bahnfleth and graduate teaching assistant Jonathan Dougherty both showed up in full Elvis regalia and treated on-lookers to their hip-swiveling rendition of “Viva Las Vegas!” Thank you, thank you very much!
