Thank you for your continued involvement and leadership as members of the IIE Western Region.

Notes from the 2008 Western Region University Conference


I'd like to thank Lorna for her teriffic leadership and execution of the IIE Western Region University Conference at Cal Poly. I have attended many region conferences, and this spring's conference raised the bar on what a University Conference can offer our membership. The speakers, panels, and tours were both fantastic and educational, attendee turnout was high, the atmosphere was energetic and enthusiastic.

The most impressive aspect of this year's conference was the comprehensive theme of sustainability and "fronteering" in engineering. Sucessfully developing a conference around a core theme requires a tremendous degree of planning, coordination with speakers, and overall creativity. Lorna and all those who helped her develop the SLO conference did a fantastic job identifying and executing a conference theme that was engaging to all those who attended.

I'd also like to highlight the overally quality of the technical paper competition this year. The technical papers presented at the conference demonstrated the level of talent that is present across our region's universities. Not only were the papers well written, but the presentations were very professional this year. We look forward to even more participants in 2009. Good luck to the technical paper competitors that will be continuing at Nationals!

Similar to the cue ball that is shot in pools; this game involves
coins and strikers that are essential to play carrom game.
All spaceship game leveling systems are designed slightly differently, but there are some general concepts that apply to all games in this genre.

The main reason why you would want to do this is simple, you can unlock the true potential of your purchase.

And indeed Robert has made the paramount sterling effort, guided
by his mentor, with beads of perspiration on his brow, Robert has brought it in to the landing net.
Never dawned on me that they might want to try it, so I was surprised one day in the
late-eighties when my son called and said they wanted to go fishing.
Yet sometimes a net is better to use because it usually doesn't harm the fish and will most likely be easier for you to prepare the fish for later.

While these parks aren't the same, you might need to carefully analyze the price of them. Third, the online store on camping gadgets can provide you ideas of things that you may need during your adventure. Most Coleman camping stoves powered with propane fuel even have electronic ignitions to save time and energy.

The internet is fueling the success of music because it can be listened to at any time of the day and anywhere in the world.
So your personal, non-commercial, watercraft is exempt from a licensing requirement.

Another radio commercial production tip to chew on is to make sure the audio quality is excellent on
any spot your produce.

This is a unusual looking cooking lid is made of
soft silicone. Couples only fool themselves if they think guests only care about the cake.
If desired, embellish the cake pops with nuts, sprinkles or other decorations.

But with Nexus Radio the only settings you have to worry about are where you want to save your files and what file type you want to save it as.

Often, long term schedules with a bit of breathing room work best.

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar: The Duke Red Matter (Part One; CBS, 1956)'Abbott Stables's Duke Red is a thoroughbred destroyed over a
serious injury in an accident, and Dollar (Bob Bailey)'asked to review a $65,000 insurance claim on the horse'smells trouble when the stable's business manager is dismissed after filing the claim, and its veterinarian may have destroyed the horse a little too swiftly.

If, at the end of this time period, the score is tied, there are two options the officials
can take. Caution: when a hole is made in a can, there may be metallic edges that can
cut one's mouth. The nature of Reddit's platform makes it possible -- through great
and creative effort, it appears -- to give users a gift of
the unexpected, rather than deriving humor from humiliation.

Broadcast satellite "in the Star on the 9th," was successfully launched in
June last year, it can be said is a milestone in the field of live
satellite event. Next, build a list of prospects and develop a relationship with those prospects on your list.
But mostly BBC Radios 4 and 5 because, being speech orientated, they're more like what I do, so I can learn lots from them.

When we choose to do the opposite of nothing, then we can do something to help others
and make a difference. This means to sell your mods would be considered the same as pirating the game
itself. It sounds like you log into the game and join a "Shadow war" server and play with hundreds of other players within that PVP world, but that world is different from the cooperative Arkfall boss
hunting world.

You might need heavier line and tackle to account for powerful river flows.
Alaska salmon fishing trip is one of the more favorite trips in Alaska.

All the equipment is included in your deep sea fishing charter Cancun and the boat is so nice
you will want to take advantage of the luxury fishing afforded from the Querida del Mar.

Like any game, when we stay within the rules, we score,
and when we play outside the rules there of course is
a penalty. All spaceship game leveling systems are designed slightly differently, but there are some general concepts that apply to all
games in this genre. But what happens when a player runs out
of race tokens.

No longer does a music lover need to bother about traveling out of range when a fantastic song comes on over
the vehicle radio. Regular workshops ensure that the staff at
PVM Radio subdivision is not only up to date with the latest technological innovations,
but also ensures that the customers from diverse backgrounds are offered the best
possible services to suit their tastes. There are many websites that bring to people radio channels for their personal entertainment.

We may give the writer his creative license, but there is a certain tension in urban areas that never
completely lets up. While extremely functional, backpacks of this nature
are not what you should to take along for a camping trip which requires you to hold
more items. Where else can you get nature at its best, other than
Garden city, Bangalore.
