the UT student chapter were: 1) initiating a student chapterand establishing the student core, 2) developing the chapter framework, 3) electing officers andratifying the constitution, 4) garnering faculty support, and 5) starting up events. These stepshave been accomplished in the seven month period between August 1996 and February 1997.IntroductionWhy establish an ASEE student chapter? The significant benefits for students interested inacademia, as well as for academic institutions and National ASEE, make it rather easy tounderstand why a student chapter is desirable. Benefits already enjoyed by students at existingASEE chapters include: preparation for successfully entering the competitive academic jobmarket, mentoring by genuinely

To carry out the projects, different teams of threestudents each were assigned to the following tasks: water sampling, sample analysis,synthesis and report writing, and preparing a final presentation. At the end of the quarter,the students submitted formal reports to the City of Columbus and FLOW describing theresults of their projects.

Observations Regarding the Cultural Diversity of Students in Different Academic Majors Prof. Francis J. Hopcroft1Abstract - The arts and humanities tend be anathemas to students in the engineering fields. These students oftendo not appreciate the social value of these topics and they tend to see their incorporation in engineering works as anintrusion into their world that they do not understand. Student in classes in the humanities are most often there onlybecause their technical curricula require that they take a few courses in these areas and/or the class they are in is theonly one that fits their schedule well.
